Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee, stands as a historical testament to the clash of fundamentalism and modernism in American history. Bryan College was founded in 1930 in memory of William Jennings Bryan who argued on behalf of Christian fundamentalism in the famous 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial. Today the college has emerged as a well-respected institution with full accreditation of its academic degree programs. The small college of about 1,200 students offers just 18 different fields of study leading to associates, bachelor's and master's degrees. Graduating Christian scholars is central to the college's mission, so the school offers majors in the areas of Christian ministry, Christian thought and philosophy, and biblical studies.
