Abstract: Commonwealth College was begun in 1923 by Dr. William Edward Zeuch to provide for higher education in the New Llano communitarian experiment in Louisiana. When tension between the colony and the school became intense, the relationship was severed, and Commonwealth moved to a site outside Mena, Arkansas. Another change paralleled the change in location: Commonwealth evolved into a labor school, an attempt to provide the laborer with the practical and ideological training necessary to develop an improved system of social and economic relationships.
