At the dedication of Lewis Hall, Dr. Robert H. Spence meets informally with the Rev. T. F. Zimmerman and the Rev. G. Raymond Carlson, General and Assistant Superintendents of the Assemblies of God. President Spence waits for the melody of Happy Anniversary to die down. The cake was presented during founder's week. Leadership provides vision President Spence defines purpose and plan The thing I have tried to do over the , yearswas to maintain a close contact and accessibility to students as the school expands. s Evangel College ob- served its 25th Anniver- sary, it was appropriate to reflect on the developments of the first quarter-century and, on the basis of past progress, make projections for the future. From its beginning, the Assemblies of God movement had an involvement in Chris- tian higher education and maintained a number of educa- tional institutions. Until Evangel was founded, however, these educational endeavors concentrated pri- marily on ministerial training. Even the limited ventures into general education classes served only to broaden the Bible college curriculum. The uniqueness of Evangel as it' opened in 1955, was that it would be specifically dedicated to a liberal arts education. It is a great tribute to the outstanding leadership of gift- ed educators and administra- tors that Evangel had even in its formative years, a clear self- identity and sense of purpose. With 25 years of development, the college has earned the respect of the academic community by insisting on academic excellence and em- phasizing the integration of faith and learning. Many differences can be noted between Evangel and the other Assemblies of .God colleges. There is a striking contrast in the curricula of- fered on each campus. A Bible college curriculum may be designed to serve five or six majors, while Evangel students may choose from a total of 26. The more significant dis- tinctive, however phical.
