Educational Zone Leaders Support Olivet From throughout the educational zone each district elected members to the Board of Trustees for the college. These pastors, laymen, and district superintendents were actually the top ad- ministrators of Olivet. By them all major deci- sions were made concerning any affairs of the college. With the contribution of each man of his ability to lead, follow, and pray, Olivet Nazarene College continued to provide an Education with a Christian Purpose. Addressing the Board of Trustees and their wives is Chairman Bruce T. Taylor. Board of Trustees Secretary and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth Jewell listen attentively to presentations of the evening.
