DEDICATIO A S SSW' ' if .Rik i 1 3 E . .. 4- A, IN A TRIBUTE LONG DESERVED we take pride in dedicating the Tartan of 1959 to J. Oliver Buswell jr., D.D., Ph.D., Dean of the Theological Seminary and Professor of Philosophy and Systematic Theology. Dr. Buswell, a son of the manse, decided early to serve the Lord in the full-time ministry. He found a wonder- ful helpmeet, Miss Helen Spaulding, in his father's church before he finished seminary. Wounded in action as a chaplain in France during the First World VVar, and cited by the U.S. Government for bravery under fire, he characteristically had Hodge and Calvin with him for spare time study. After a time in the pastorate, he was called as the nation's youngest college president to Wheaton College in -Illinois. In a fruitful fourteen-year ministry there, he saw the school treble in enrollment, achieve national accreditation and recognition, and yet stay true to its basic Biblical ideals. At Wheaton grew up his four splendid children, all of whom are in Christian service. Leaving Wheaton, he went as Professor of Theology and Apologetics to Faith Theological Sem- inary, which he had helped to found. But he was hardly there before the call came to assume also the presidency of National Bible Institute, now Shelton College, which was in serious Hnancial difficulty. His administrative wis- dom greatly increased the assets of the school and led to its becoming a liberal arts college accredited by the States of New York and New Jersey. At last he has become a teacher. The professorial work he has always done on the side, and which he considered his chief aim, now at Covenant becomes his chief occupation. And in appreciation of his competent instruction, brilliant intellectual leadership, and genuine spiritual testimony, we are privileged to dedicate this yearbook to Dr. Buswell, instructor, adviser, example and friend.

ADMI 1TRAT1o , FACULTY, and STAFF THE GREATEST ADMINISTRATOR AND TEACHER that ever lived on this earth was our Lord Jesus Christ. And yet he lived on earth for a more important reason f to do something for us, to personally deal with each sinner's heart condition. On a less essential plane, each dedicated administration, faculty, and staff member of Covenant College and Seminary seeks to follow Jesus' footsteps by not just teach- ing, not just administering, but actually doing something for each student. The fact is that each one in authority at Covenant has turned his life to a special held so that those under them may become well rounded individuals, well versed in many fields, ready to face the attacks that come upon the Christian from all directions. There are no specialists more interested in the total development of the student at Covenant than those whose life work is found there. Let us take a look at these people who are responsible for the Covenant student- responsible for from what he learns to how he behaves.
