Dr. Ccvt Pennmaton On March 17, 1975, Levi Pennington went to the Lord at the age of 99. His life included being a college president, minister, lecturer, humanitarian, and educator. He presided over Pacific College (now George Fox) from 1911 to 1941 as a responsible president. His life personified Christian character of all types. He once stated, No man will ever make a more important decision then the one that determines his relationship with God. This living witness came through in his life and his book, RAM- BLING RECOLLECTIONS. A memorial fund in his memory was set up to aid students in gain- ing an education. This exemplifies his desire for teaching students how to live in this world as a child of God. Many George Fox students will remember his presence on the college campus and his en- couraging words. Dr. Pennington was a frequent sight during the morning worship services at the Newberg Friends Church. Emmett Gulley, a close frie nd of Dr. Pennington, said, Yet through it all he was a humble man. He carried on his humanitarian and Christian efforts with no thought of ' being seen by men. ' Dr. Pennington wrote, of himself, When I am gone I hope that those who loved me beyond all my deserving may think in the words of Thomas Gray, No farther seek his merits to disclose Or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (There they alike in trembling hope repose, ) The bosom of his Father and his God.
