Lyon College celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2022. To commemorate that historic event, the
oldest private college in Arkansas presents Lyon College: The First 150 Years. Lavishly
illustrated with more than 300 photographs spanning three different centuries at Lyon, this book introduces readers to the people whose perseverance and vision allowed the college to blossom into a nationally known liberal arts institution--and to accomplished alumni who have carried the spirit and legacy of Lyon throughout the nation and around the world.

Featuring memorable photographs and a lively narrative by historian and author Brooks Blevins
’92, Lyon College: The First 150 Years will appeal to alumni and friends across the generations
and to anyone interested in the story of a unique institution of higher education. Utilizing
exhaustive research into a century and a half of college records, publications, and alumni and
faculty memories, as well as his own experiences as a student and former faculty member,
Blevins explores what it has meant to be a Scot since 1872.
