What professor on campus could you picture turning in his tennis spotlight for the backwoods of McKenzie farm life? That's right! Mr. McMahen, an ex-tennis pro of Bethel College, traded his fame and fortune for a tractor and combine. What could be better than that? How about the fact that Mr. McMahen has taught courses like Criminology, Social Philosophy, the Human Culture sequence, Labor Problems, Social Work, and Social Psychology at Bethel since 1963. A native of Magnolia, Arkansas, he graduated from Bethel in 1955 with a bachelor of arts degree. He then attended the Cumberland Presbyterian Theological Seminary in McKenzie lwhich is now relocated and known as the Memphis Theological Seminaryl and obtained a Bachelor of Divinity degree. At Boston University he was awarded his Master of Divinity degree and also served as the Associate Director of Religious Research for four years.
