Four Leaders Fort Wayne Bible College has had four presidents. Rev. l.E. Ramseyer was the first president. Daddy Ram- seyer, as he was affectionately called, was known for his great love of the Bible. He had much to do with the beginning of the Missionary Church Association. Daddy Ramseyer was president from 1912 until 1944. Dr. Safara A. Witmer, the second president, graduated from Fort Wayne Training School. He spent some time on horseback in Western Canada, ministering in a rural area. Witmer, known for his gift of teach- ing which he exercised at the Bible College, also had other interests. Because of his interest in flying, a course was initiated at the college, but a near-fatal accident caused the course to be dropped. Witmer served as president from 1945 to 1957. The third president, Dr. jared Gerig, served the college from 1958 to 1971. Dr. Gerig also served as the president of the Missionary Church Association, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, and vice-president of the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges. When some difficulty was experienced in getting permission to build on the south campus of the college, it was Dr. Gerig who succeeded in battling the legal opposition. Dr, Timothy Warner has served as president since 1971. Known to his students as Dr. Tim, he is a Taylor University graduate and received his doctorate from Indiana University. Dr. Tim has been the vice-president and the president-elect of the Amer- ica Association of Bible Colleges. Dr. Tim, a familiar face around campus, remains an active participant in stu- dent activities. Often Dr. Tim has fas- cinated the students with accounts of his life as a missionary in Africa.
