Columbia, Columbia Bible College

Curteich-Chicago linen card 3C-H592, mailed in 1952 with stamp and postmark and a long, effusive message.  As for the school, it’s now Columbia International University, about which an (edited) Wikipedia entry says:  “CIU began in 1923 when it was founded as Columbia Bible School. The original purpose was to provide a two-year course of study in biblical studies for local mill workers. By 1927, the decision was made to convert the school into a college and begin offering bachelor’s degrees in Bible.  The college was relocated in 1960 to its present facility on Monticello Road.  During this period, the institution also changed its name to Columbia Bible College and Seminary. The name was changed yet again in 1994 to Columbia International University.”  (We don’t do this for every school!)  Grade: 1
