The Reports of C.S. Lewis College's Death Were Greatly Exaggerated

In 1897, The New York Herald released a statement that Mark Twain, then 51, was "grievously ill and possibly dying. Worse still, we are told that his brilliant intellect is shattered and that he is sorely in need of money."

Of course, Twain was alive and well. Upon hearing of his likely demise, Twain offered up the phrase "The report of my death was an exaggeration," which has since been quoted and adapted countless times over the years to humorous effect.

Well, we can definitely say that, contrary to recent news article headlines in Christianity Today, The Huffington Post, and others, the reports of the death of C.S. Lewis College were greatly exaggerated. We can also say with a smile that we are "sorely in need of money" to launch the College.

So what does this all mean? What is the current status of the College? Click here to read more.
