as In Septemher ol l9 17, a well-huilt man with slightly thinning sandv hair strode with quiet determination into the ollice ol' the president. The same step that took him across the thres- hold to inaugurate him as president ol La 1 Sierra College carried him into the hearts ol the students. who soon considered lnm as their most loval lriend. YVith his arrival. the slogan where progress is a tradition flour- ished with renewed vigor as new huildings muslnaoomed throughout the campus. Born in 1909 in the clamorous city ol' Chi- cago, Codlrev 'liryggve Anderson thrived in an atmosphere which reeked with the issues of pre-YVorld XVar I, a background which was later to inlluence his research interests. During his senior year of college he married his dark-haired sweetheart from San Fran- cisco, and following his graduation from Broadview College he received his M.S. at Northwestern University in 1934. Still a young scholar he took up the heavv responsibilities as instructor in historv and dean of men at Oshawa Missionary College. From Oshawa he was called to head the de- partment of history at Atlantic Union Col' lege, where he later became dean of the college. Always a diligent student with a keen interest in the Civil XVar, he continued his studies and received the doctorate degree in 19-H lrom the University ol Chicago. The father ol lour children. he has care ried one ol his outstanding cliaracteristics from his lamilv lille into his administration . . . that ol Iatrness. .X dehherate thinker. he is noted lor never making' snap judgments.
