Dedication Presidential honor ltimately, everything is subject to the shades of Change. For 22 years, Dr. Clifton L. Ganus, Jr. has served as the president of Harding University. Dr. Ganus has played the role of professor, chairman, dean, vice-president, and president - all in the span of 41 years. After all of this time, Dr. Ganus has decided to step down as president of the university. Dr. Ganus has done much to further the work of the church in his years here at Hardingi He has been minister and is currently serving as an elder for the College Church congregation. He has been to Italy to see the opening of the villa in Florence for the HUF program. But most of all, he has served as a shining example for Chris- tian living. In 1939, Dr. Ganus first attended Harding University. Here, he met his wife, Louise. Soon after graduatuion in 1943, he was married. I received my bachelor's degree at 11 AM and lost it at 1 PM when we married! commented Dr. Ganus. While he attended classes he double majored in history and Bible. From 1943-1945, he preached at the Church of Christ in Charleston, Mississippi. Then he attended Tulane Univer- sity to receive his MA. and PhD. in history. In 1956, he received a professional diploma in College Administration from Columbia University. Since then, he has served as vice-president and president. Awards are also a part of Dr. Ganus' past. He has received seven George Washington medals for public addresses, the Outstanding Alumnus Award, and the Outstan- ding Citizen of Searcy Award. He has also been selected for both Who's Who and Outstanding Personalities. He has also traveled to about 50 different countries to do on-the-spot studies of economic, social, and political conditions; to study the in- fluences of communism; and for travel. When Dr. Ganus steps down as president, Harding will be losing a part of herself. Because of his influence on the students and the example his life has shown, the senior class of Harding University is very honored to dedicate the 1987 Petit lean to Dr. Clifton L. Ganus, Jr. - David Dearin Assistant editor
