Dliver Serves God Students In a sense, all members of our faculty are honored when one is selected for special rec- ognition, this is the case for the recipient of our yearbook's dedication. Our yearbook tra- ditionally honors one individual for his or her contributions to Freed-Hardeman College, but it can truthfully be said that one is representative of the whole. We believe that this year's recipient is such a rep- resentative, a man who em- bodies his school's spirit. Ded- ication - to his profession and to his students' moral and intellectual development, to his school, and, foremost, to his God - is his legacy to Freed-Hardeman College. Born in Henderson County in 1921, Howard Oliver at- tended public schools in Lex- ington, TN, graduating in 1940. After being honorably discharged from the Navy, he enrolled at Freed-Hardeman College, where he spent three years as a student and mar- ried Dorothea Jones. Fteceiv- ing his B.S. degree from David Lipscomb College in 1951 and his lvl.A. from Memphis State in 1956, Oliver began his teaching career in public high Howard Oliver, with daughter Lydia and son David near him, smiles after attending the annuai Benefit Dinner, schools before joining the fac- ulty of Freed-Hardernan in 1959. Since that time, Oliver has been a vital part of the science faculty and a campus favorite of students. Known for his special brand of humor and his co-operative nature, his love for biology, and his genuine concern for his students, Oli- ver has received high marks from students and peers alike. Of him, Dr. Howard Trull, Chairman of the Biology De- partment, wrote, His great faith in God as the creator of all things and the Bible as the inspired word of God have contributed to the strong faith of his students. He firmly be- lieves that there is harmony in true science and scripture. Because we firmly believe that Howard Oliver is a great example of our school's high- est ideal - Christianity in practice - and because of his faithful service to Freed-Har- deman College for nearly three decades, the 1987-88 Trea- sure Chest is affectionately dedicated to Brother Howard Reed Oliver. 1
