A man of insights: JimmyAl1en 4 P Dedication One of the most difficult courses offered by the Bible department is Romans with Jimmy Allen, yet the class con- tinues to be filled each semester with approximately 100 students whose desire to study under Jimmy Allen is greater than their fear of the heavy memorization and reading that this course requires. Dr. Jerry Jones, a former stu- dent of his, says of him, He does an outstanding job teaching the textual areas . . . he continues to grow and study in every course that he teaches . . . he has been a tremendous inspiration to young men who are planning to preach. Having received the Distinguished Teacher Award in 1968, this year he completes 20 -years of effective teaching at Harding College. However, his' influence is felt weekly beyond the campus through his preaching in cities across the country. His influence is now be- ing enhanced through the six books he has written in recent years. Born and reared in central Arkansas, he enrolled as a freshman in the winter of 1948 at Harding College after a tour of duty in the Army. Coming under the influence of teachers dedicated to the Lord and of students who lived faithful Christian lives, he became a .Christian in the spring of 1949 and began preaching the follow- ing fall. Approximately 21!2 million people have heard the stirring messages of Jimmy Allen and over 26,000 people have responded to the invitation with approximately 7,000 for bap- tism. He has preached in rural areas, in 50 area-wide cam- paigns in major cities of the U.S. and in several foreign countries. He has spoken on lec- tureships at most of our Chris- tian colleges and at religious emphasis convocations on a number of state college cam- puses. He does an outstanding job teaching in the textual area . . . he continues to grow and study in every course that he teaches. He was the second student body president at Harding and he continues to have a keen in- terest in student and student af- fairs. An outstanding athlete, he still participates in intramural rag-tag football, basketball and softball. Because of the outstanding in- fluence he has had on our lives by precept and example, we, the senior class, dedicate this 1979 Petit Jean to Jimmy Allen. 1.
