DIRECTION ... The administration of Asbury College, a group often criticized and misunderstood, whose highest purpose is to guide and direct each student in the way of God. DIRECTION ... the type of people pictured here, their lives focused on and guided by the Lord of this universe, called to one of the highest callings and hardest jobs in this world: that of directing this institution, enforcing its principles, guiding its students. DIRECTION ... There is only one way to go the right way: decisions agonized in long hours of prayer, until there comes the assurance that the decision has been made according to His will. DIRECTION ... moving out on the decisions made, in faith that the power of that fellowship and unity with fellow administrators and with students, which comes only through the bond of prayer and of ministry, both within the College com- munity, reaching out to touch each others’ lives, and outside the community, each going out to minister in different places and in different ways, but all in the same DIRECTION DIRECTION

Direction With a View to World-Wide Outreach The responsibility of leading Asbury College as her chief ad- ministrator has been placed in the hands of Dr. Dennis F. Kin- law. In his hands lies the responsibility for the academic and spiritual training of over a thousand students each year. Unlike most college presidents Dr. Kinlaw is not thought of as unreachable by either the students or the faculty of Asbury. He is considered a beloved friend by all those around him. Through- out the year it was our privilege to hear him speak in chapel as often as his busy schedule permitted. His messages were both enlightening and challenging to the Asbury family. Dr. Kinlaw has earned the respect of all who have come in contact with him for his academic and spiritual accomplish- ments and most of all for his concern for his responsibilities to this institution, and his genuine love for the students God sees fit in his infinite wisdom to send to Asbury each year. In giving of himself to us Dr. Kinlaw has given us an example that we can follow in living a Christ centered life. He has allowed us to see him as an administrator, as a Christian, and above all, as a friend, sharing with us what Christ has taught him so far in their walk together and how excited he is about going farther with Christ. What a privilege it has been for us to join them and all of us grow together. The blessings God has poured on this campus have been many but one of the richest is Dr. Dennis F. Kinlaw, President of Asbury College. 18
