Grace College - Heritage Yearbook (Winona Lake, IN)

DIRECTING THE HERBAGE I The foundation of the heritage of Grace College is in the God¬ fearing men and women who fostered a deep concern for the future education of dedicated Christian young people. Men like the President Emeritus, Dr. Alva J. McClain, and President, Dr. Herman Hoyt, joined with others in faith, praying that God would send the support for a Bible-believing, fundamental seminary and later, a liberal arts college. God miraculously answered prayer and supplied every need for both institutions. The student body enrollment increased rapidly, revealing the need for future expansion and enlargement of present facilities. Recalling the abundant blessing of God in past years, President Hoyt and the Board of Trustees, headed by Dr. Kenneth Ashman, seek guidance for the future. For He who has called is faithful and has promised to guide and supply every need. How rich a heritage! 15

DEV£l OPINO THE DESTTMY Perhaps the department that has made the greatest impact on Grace College in recent months is the Development Depart¬ ment. This department ' s personnel include Rev. Richard Messner, Director, Rev. Tom Hammers, and Mr. Terry White. These men obtain financial aid and support for the college by traveling from coast to coast presenting informative programs about this institution and its plans for future develop¬ ment and expansion. The recruitment of new students, however, is the department ' s primary goal. The increased size of the student body, resulting from the outreach of the Develop¬ ment Department, has given the deans of Grace College a greater responsibility. Rev. E. William Male, Academic Dean, Rev. A. R. Kriegbaum, Dean of Students, and Mrs. Miriam Uphouse, Dean of Women, combine their efforts as they accept the challenge of guiding the students of Grace College to a more meaningful education.
