2 Introduction There was much work to be done. Harding University had to reorganize. The values and goals that seemed to be so precious had to be reevaluated. It was time to go back to the beginning, start with the basics, and work up from there. There had been several shocking deaths in 1983. They were unexpected, and neither the faculty nor the stu- dents really knew how to cope with the mixture of emo- tions. The faculty concentrated on helping students deal with their problems and mistakes in 1984. Everyone worked to start out the year on a positive foot. Students and faculty were supportive of each other in a way they had never been before. Harding University explored a new spiritual empha- sis. Iimmy Allen spoke at the first chapel of the first full week of school urging students to give Harding a chance. It was the beginning of the year and an ideal time to make changes, and to give the Lord Jesus Christ a chance with their lives. Many students went to Har- ding because they wanted to draw closer to God, and they knew inside there was a strength on her campus that would help them to become better Christians. - Iohn I.
