Page 30 PRESIDENT “If the last 15 years have been known as years of growth and expansion, we hope that the next 15 years will be years of quality and improvement,” tells-in a few words the policy pursued -by Lipscomb’s president, Athens Clay Pullias. Since becoming president of David Lipscomb College in 1946, he has been a major instigator of the college’s rapid growth. En- rollment has grown from 1019 in 1946 to a record high of 1680 in 1958 under his leadership. He has retained the distinction of being one of the youngest college heads in the country. Upon graduating from Lipscomb, then a junior college, he received his B.A. and LL.D. degrees from Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tenn., and his B.D. de- gree from Vanderbilt School of Religion. Since joining the Lips- comb faculty in 1934, he has served as teacher, head of the Bible department, executive assistant, and vice-president prior to be- coming president.
