INTELLECTUAL VITALITY Bethel is thankful for the men and women who have come to its campus to give academic leadership to each of our departments. The Administration demands the best in academic and spiritual qualifications so that Bethel’s dual emphasis of Christ-centeredness and scholarship might be perpetuated. Each teacher feels that this is God’s place for him at this time and many have forsaken far more lucrative positions to answer this calling. To be sure, these scholars are specialists in their chosen fields. However, despite the demands of their teaching responsibilities they constructively apply their talents to a host of varied activities. Churches and institutions of higher education throughout the country along with local church and civic groups are also influenced by our faculty. Though many have reached the coveted doctorate each feels a responsibility to keep abreast of current developments in his field. Bethel will continue to grow academically as long as its faculty is characterized by this intellectual vitality. 20
