nr ; Women Dr. Louis §. Bauman 1875-1950 Among the many friends of Grace Theological Seminary, none could be missed more acutely than the late Dr. Louis S. Bauman. He had been in the very center of those historical circumstances which led directly to the founding of the school. He was on his knees among the other brethren in that notable prayer meeting where the school was born. And as he arose from praying he wrote his personal check as the initial gift toward its establishment. He assisted in the writing of its charter, was a member of its board of trustees from the beginning, and for a term of years served ably as president of the board. In the year 1948, in recognition of his long and val- uable services to the school, he was made an honorary life member of the executive committee of the board. At times when others became somewhat discouraged, Brother Bauman was never cast down, but his own unfailing faith and optimism were contagious, bringing renewed courage to all of us. Much of the progress of the seminary, and certainly a large share of its tangible assets, can be traced directly to his enthusiastic support. Through his personal influence, many became lifelong friends of the school, and thousands of dollars came to its support. In his wide ministry, far beyond the limits of the Brethren Church, Grace Seminary was made known as a place where the Word of God is held and taught, and students were attracted to its classes. To use the words of a teacher who has been with us from the beginning, “Humanly speak- ing, without Brother Bauman there might be no Grace Seminary today.” —Alva J. McClain. PAGE 4
