wwfls-uni APPRECIATIO Commencement, L965, marked the end of a definite era at Covenant when Dr. Robert G. Rayburn, Covenant's first President, awarded the final degree and then returned to St. Louis to assume his responsibility as President of Covenant Theological Seminary. Having guided the col- lege through its first ten years, serving also as Seminary President, Dr. Rayburn saw the college grow from a group of twenty-two students in Pasadena, California, to St. Louis where the student body and campus both grew, and finally to its present mountain-top location. Not only did he see, he prayed, directed, and effected. Because of the rigorous schedule Dr. Rayburn maintained in the first year of the two schools' geographic separation the Board of Trustees felt that a choice must be made. Feeling responsible to both institutions, Dr. Rayburn re- turned the decision to the Board who announced in April 1965, that Dr. Rayburn would be President of Covenan' Theological Seminary. r r This announcement was met with verbal and visible emotion symbolic of that felt in Covenant-related hearts throughout the world. Dr. Rayburn for those ten years had served in many full-time capacities - administration, teaching Bible, theology, language, director of the college chorale, minister, evangelist, and, most of all, friend to the many persons, on and off campus, with whom he had contact. Speaking of Dr. Rayburn's years of service to the col- lege The Rev. George Soltau said, after the announce- ment, lt was Dr. Rayburn's vision which the Lord used to bring Covenant College to this place. Dr. Rayburn took the seeds of the college, watered them and watched them grow - and now he sees them diffusing into all nations. Because the l965 TARTAN had gone to press before this change was announced, it is the privilege of the staff of the L966 TARTAN to include a special page of appre- ciation to Dr. Robert G. Rayburn, a man to whose life and vision Covenant College will always be immeasur- ably indebted.
