Southwest Baptist University (SBU) is a private institute of higher education affiliated with the Missouri Baptist Convention, which is part of the Southern Baptist Convention. In 2003 there were approximately 3,600 students attending at one of SBU`s four Missouri campuses, located in the towns of Bolivar, Mountain View, Salem and Springfield. Abner S. Ingman and James R. Maupin founded Southwest Baptist College in 1878 in Lebanon, Missouri. The Lebanon campus originally had an enrollment of 60 students and six faculty. The college lasted one year before the city decided they no longer wanted it. When news got out that the college would be moving, the communities of Aurora, Monett, and Bolivar in southwest Missouri attempted to attract the college. In 1879, the state of Missouri chartered the school and it moved to Bolivar, Missouri. The college went through many financial difficulties in the early part of the Twentieth Century. On June 1, 1910, at 11:00 am., the fire that would destroy the campus started. The fire broke out under suspect circumstances, leading some to believe arson was the cause. Bolivar citizen firefighters tried to put out the fire, but the water supply ran dry and at 2:00 pm the fire engulfed the whole campus. Losses were estimated at $20,000. The college was rebuilt, and reopened in 1913.

A better tomorrow Will all the social, economic and technological changes occurring make a better world? This is the challenge facing us today: how to harness these forces for good. At Roanoke College we believe good will prevail, if more people are encouraged to find and live their passions. Those who live what they love make the world a better place. They care. They get involved. They find new ways to do things. Their energy and determination inspire us all to care, to strive, to fight for what we love. At Roanoke, we believe more passionate lives will make a better tomorrow. Many colleges talk about finding passion; we believe that`s only half the battle. Institutions of higher education need to help their students—and their alumni—live their passions. Our goal is to help all Roanoke students find and live what they love, and for our success to be a beacon to other schools. Imagine how much better the world will be with millions of passionate people working hard for positive change.
