16 HYLES-ANDERSON COLLEGE, 8400 Burr Street, Crown Point, Indiana Guyles-Anderson College Dr. Russell Anderson Cofounder Dr. Wendell Evans President Dr. Jack Hyles Founder Chancellor Hyles-Anderson College has had miraculous blessings and growth since its inception. The founding of the college can be traced back to 1970 when Dr. Hyles was preaching in Pomona, California. On Tuesday evening Dr. Hyles spent much of the night praying for America. It was at this time that Dr. Hyles felt the burden for a college that would be dedicated to reaching America. A few months later Dr. Hyles met with Dr. Russell Anderson who shared Dr. Hyles’ dream. Dr. Anderson wanted to invest in a school led by Dr. Hyles and the dream came a step closer to reality. Soon Dr. Wendell Evans began on the development of the many programs that make up a college. Actual construction of the college plant was begun in January of 1972, and just nine months later the doors opened to 301 students. For its first two years Hyles-Anderson shared the Baptist City campus with all the other schools of the Baptist School System. Since its founding the college has been greatly blessed of the Lord. The blend of scholarship and practicality makes Hyles-Anderson truly unique in its field. The stand taken on support of Biblical standards are strictly enforced. The doctrinal stand is Biblical and fundamental and has not varied. As the school grew the Lord gave the college a multi-million-dollar campus in the summer of 1974. Its beautiful brick buildings are situated on a lovely 90.1-acre campus. The blessings have continued in each year of the college existence. New buildings have been added every year. The additions have included a bowling alley, gymnasium, miniature golf course, several dormi- tories, and a beautiful 2300-seat chapel. Every year of the college has also seen an increase in the student body, regardless of the economic climate. In 1982, the college matriculated 2,272 students. Yet the true story of this story will not be told until graduates have had an opportunity to exercise that which they have been taught. It is through these men and women that the true worth of Hyles-Anderson College will be judged. The first returns have been very encouraging for the school that many call “a miracle.” 46307
