College of the Ozarks Point Lookout Missouri

College of the Ozarks lies amid some truly stunning surroundings, located as it is next to the White River, with a view over Lake Taneycomo in the Ozark Mountains. The Christian liberal arts college in pastoral Point Lookout, Missouri was established in 1906 as a school for young people, following a proposal by pastor James Forsythe. Nevertheless, it eventually became a full institution of higher learning in 1965. One of the most impressive features on the 1,000 acre campus is the neo Gothic Williams Memorial Chapel, which is replete with stained glass windows and a soaring arched ceiling. The chapel was built to an old design from Chicago based architect Edward Jannson and completed in 1958. Also among the campus beautiful buildings is the Keeter Center, an idyllic lodge that acts as a hub for functions and bigger events and is home to the college s program of hotel and restaurant management.
