BEGINNING .. God continued to direct the growth of Bryan College throughout the last 50 years. God has remained faithful. Through the dream of a man concerned with infiltration of modernism into education, Bryan College was founded. Because of William Jennings Bryan ' s funda- mentalist beliefs, and as a result of his efforts, the state law was up- held at the Scopes Trial in Dayton before the founding of the school. Bryan knew that young men would ' need good biblical training and desired to see a school established for this purpose.

OF GOD ... has continued from the beginning to be the foundation of Bryan Col- lege ' s beliefs. William Jennings Bryan stood emphatically on the Scriptures proving them as the in- fallible Word of God in his Is the Bible True? speech. Furthermore, the founding fathers drew up the 1930 charter for the college based on eight fundamental doctrines. This year the college has endea- vored to instruct its students in the Word of God in every area of life. Josh McDowell, a featured lecturer well known for his defense of the faith, spoke to the students first se- mester. As evidenced by the events of this year, Bryan strives to hold tenaciously to its claim of being a Christian liberal arts college in- corporating God ' s Word in all activities.
