The leader is not the only factor in making a strong organization, but it is the most important factor. Dr. Gerig has helped Fort Wayne Bible College by his excellent leadership, although he has been in office for only a short while, much has been accomplished. Taking office on january 1. 1958. Dr. Gerig has been extremely busy. He was not only president of FVVBC but he remained as president of the Missionary Church Association until his term of office expired in September. Since September, 1958 he has devoted his time to the work of the college. The main accomplishment of the school under the direction of Dr. Gerig has been the development of South Campus. During this school year, permission has been granted from the Zoning Board of the city to start construction of the S. A. Lehman Mem- orial Library. Dr. Gerig represented the school msany times on behalf of this project. Dr. Gerig is not only an outstanding leader but also an excel- lent teacher. Although he does not have many classes, the ones which he does have, have been an inspiration to all who sat under his teaching. Tues- day mornings are generally designated as the time in which Dr. Gerig ministers to our spiritual needs. His interesting devotional and inspirational messages have challenged every student. However, more important than that, Dr. Gerig practices what he preachesg his radiant Christian life is an inspiration, blessing, and example to us all.
