"On June 1, 1965, Western's Board of Regents established the Potter College of Liberal Arts. This College is basically a grouping of the humanities departments . . . The name was taken from Potter College for Young Ladies, which was established in Bowling Green in 1887. Potter College was housed in a three-story brick building erected on Copley Knob or Vinegar Hill near the Albert Sidney Johnston Fort. On September 9, 1889, the college opened with the Reverend Benjamin Francis Cabell as president. The 1909 commencement brought the twenty-year history of Potter College to a close, and the Southern Normal School Board of Regents bought the Potter College buildings. The main building, known as Potter Hall, served chiefly as an office and classroom building until it was razed prior to the construction of Cherry Hall." [College Heights Bulletin Catalog Issue, Vol. 32, No. 3, 9/1965, p. 83] On 7/1/2006 the name was changed to Potter College of Arts and Letters (from Potter College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences).
