Hereford College opened 1902 as co-educational public school in newly-built, 3-story main building. By 1903, college was transferred to Christian Church for needed financial support.

This marker is mounted on Roswell, New Mexico, brownstone from the old main building. (1966) Erected by college ex-students in tribute to early Christian leaders.
