Dean of Administration: Alton DuRant The steps to take and the direction in which to move are usually uncertain for collegiate men and women. Each individual, if he is to be free, must follow his own light. It is part of his duty, (and also part of the learning process) to question, to challenge, to search for truth in all endeavors. Yet it is also an obligation to respect a difference of opinion, a different set of values, a different interpretation of what appears to be purely factual, different behavior patterns, and differ- ent cultural tastes. It takes a certain amount of ma- turity to recognize that the person who is different from you may be following his own light too. Dean of Students: Kenneth Williams Booker T. Washington has written of the sW toil Ht sea which when told by a friendly vessel to let down iheir buckets where they were for water discovered that the water was fresh and pure. They were in the mouth of the Amazon River. How many times students have expressed the idea that they would do more in their studies, in contribution to college activities, to the Christian witness if they but had more to give. No student is blamed for having few tal- ents; the blame is just if he fails to use what he has. One chief advantage students find at George Fox Col- lege is the privilege of using what they have. It be- hooves each of us to give what we have, do what we can, and be all that our Heavenly Father intended us to be. Oaly then can each profit to ihe fullest extent from fiie rich and varied opportunities provided in the George Fox College community. Dean of Faculty: George Moore The year 1962-1963 has been one of progress for George Fox College. The beauty of the new buildings and other improvements of our physical facilities brings words of commendation from Visitors and alumni. But the more basic marks of progress are deeper than stone, brick and mortar. They deal with the mind - the spirit. As the students of George Fox College catch new vistas of thou t, new challenges to service, and a deeper un- derstanding to the relevance of Christian faith and truth to all areas of their lives, real progress is made.
