Ancient city of Antioch Syria

The Ancient City Of ANTIOCH (first in Syria, then Turkey) in the Mid-East Inspired The Opening Of Antioch College in 1852

Maybe we need to take time out from the current agonizing over the threatened 2008 closedown of Antioch College in Ohio, and remember Antioch College's origins and namesake. I did some writing about this in the past I dust off , and offer here (below).

I wrote quite a bit submitted and published on this website about four years ago in 2003 and used the name Yazz Cudd...I'm a movie actor and have used several professional names...currently it's YAZZ ALLEN but my birth name is David Roger Allen. In 2003, it was Yazz Cudd.

Under that name, I wrote the following about the connection between the ancient city of Antioch in Ancient Syria and Antioch College (the entire city of Antioch was later given to Turkey which owns the city of Antioch presently....same city...the international boundry lines changed, were redrawn sort of gerrymander style, and Syria lost Antioch City, and Turkey gained it...relatively recently....the city didn't move...just the international boundry lines! Anitoch City sat on the NW border of Syria and Turkey, next to the Mediterannean Sea...actually about 16 miles from the Sea itself, slightly inland, but connected by a river which made the city a port city of importance.).
