On him rests the responsibil- ity of scheduling courses, choosing our advisers, re- solving schedule conflicts, advising students, and di- recting placement.

Now full-time coordinator of the Development Program he plans for a greater Eliza- bethtown College. Graciousness, patience, and sincerity best exem- plify Mr. Weaver.

By their unselfish devotion our administration upholds the dignity of the individual, dedication of life, and the distinctiveness of the church-related college. 12
