Folsom Institute
FOLSOM INSTITUTE
"EDUCATION DOTH NOT A SCHOLAR MAKE"
NEAR HERE WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY COLLEGE
EVER IN FOLSOM. IT LASTED TWO YEARS (1858-60)
THEN CLOSED FOR LACK OF STUDENTS. FOLKS
PROBABLY FIGURED THEY WERE SMART ENOUGH (?)
IT WAS A NOBLE TRY - TOO BAD!
DEDICATED IN HONOR OF THE CLASS OF '60.
