Roberts The 1958 Talisman is dedicated to a friend of both students and graduates, who is now serv- ing in a new capacity. On October 11, 1957, Friends University inaugurated its seventh president, Dr. Lowell E. Roberts. Dr. Roberts is a native of Fowler, Kansas, where he attended high school and graduated in 1929. He has attended Asbury Theological Seminary, Harvard University Divin- ity School and Gordon Divinity School where he received his Th.D. in 1947. After graduating from Friends in 1936 Dr. Roberts served as a minister until 1944 with the Friends Churches of the New England Area. He joined the faculty of Friends University as a Bible professor in 1944 and served as head of the Bible department from this time until October, 1956 when he was ap- pointed lnterim President. Dr. Roberts is married to the former Janie Harvey and has two children, Donald, 19, who is attending school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Carol, 14, who is a freshman in high school. President Roberts is a familiar sight on campus, drinking coffee with students, attending school social affairs and helping with student activities in which he can be of service. President Roberts is dedicated to Friends University and hopes that it can continue to grow and serve. To Dr. Roberts, an old friend and a new president, we respectfully dedicate this, the 1958 Talisman. 3 Friends University agrees that honest acknowledgement of the facts and wholesome regard for the student and for the public which he will later influence following graduation demand that Christian ideals must beckon that Christian principles must control and that Christ Himself must be honored Only then can we rightly claim to be Christian and only then can we edu cate in the fullest and deepest sense of
