Abstract:
Founded by John Andrew Rice and five other professors and using borrowed buildings for a campus, Black Mountain College became an innovative experiment in higher education. Established in 1933 and existing for twenty-three years, Black Mountain College was small, with an enrollment of under 100 even in the best of years. Campus life differed from that of traditional schools. Everyone, students and staff alike, worked on the college farm or in the kitchen or with construction projects.

Abstract:
As a Japanese-American from Hawaii, I.S. Nakata was far away from home when he first attended Black Mountain College in 1940. His first experiences with Jim Crow, university studies, and with the continental United States all took place at the college. These experiences were cut short by the United States' entry into World War II, when Nakata was drafted into the Army Air Corp. After being honorably discharged in 1942, he returned to Black Mountain College to finish his studies and married fellow student Alexa McLane.

Abstract:
Founded by John Andrews Rice in 1933, Black Mountain College operated in Buncombe County town until 1965. The school never had more than fifty or so students, rarely held formal examinations, and allowed students to study as fast or as slowly as they wished. The exit examinations were grueling, but the school attracted some of the finest professors in writing, painting, sculpting, and music. Due to a lack of funding, the school closed in 1965.\r\n
