The record — long form
Wesleyan is the castle — the 'castellated' that's the style's name, the 'song story' that's the leaflet's pitch. The 'slaves built' is the made — the 'local clay' that's the bricks' source, the 'Morrison watched' that's the work's boss. The 'LaGrange moved' is the carried — the '1830' that's the college's birth, the 'mountain left' that's the move's cause.
The 'four built' is the lone — the 'Gothic schools' that's the wave's count, the 'Wesleyan only' that's the survivor's name. The 'boys first' is the opened — the 'men's college' that's the '56 start, the 'Methodist' that's the church's tie. Wesleyan is the kept — the 'centerpiece' that's the campus's heart, the 'state run' that's the '70 switch.
The file keeps Wesleyan: the castle style, the slave-made bricks, the carried college, and the lone survivor.
Wesleyan Hall is the archive's Alabama file — the castle built for 'song and story'.
