LCC ROOTED IN: CHRISTIAN The original motto of the College, “Learning, Character, Citizenship,” has for 25 years emphasized the three main thrusts of the new school: academic excellence, spiritual maturity and constructive citizenship. This purpose has never changed. Throughout its history LCC’s central values, like a taproot, have penetrated strong and deep, providing support and nourishment. Although LCC was a two-year college during the first half of its history, it has been a four-year school for the past 12 years. Both as a junior and senior college, LCC has received the highest academic accreditation at the first possible opportunity. | | ¥ a E ; Lal. ‘eedosteSl Dae Sa¢ae8 8812 514 brane ' y4t He Oe BGSeseseut « ass =) ea [nia 1 — Robert Qualls, first President of LCC’s Student Body, 1975. 2 — Dr. Pruitt, President since 1976. 3 — Mike Briggs, member of first class, 1957. 4 — The Moody Library contains over 75,000 titles and comfortable study areas. 5 — Greg Knight and John Stafford are working in the science lab.

AND PATRIOTIC VALUES Because we believe mature character comes from discipline, policies and rules at LCC are based on Christian values. Students are required to study the Bible as a text- book and to attend daily chapel. There are many opportunities for students to become involved in areas of spiritual service. We are fortunate to live in a nation where private colleges are allowed. We have a strong commitment to the American heritage, constitutional government and free enterprise. We want our students to know what is to be preserved and protected. 1 — Dr. Mattox is pictured with some of LCC’s George Washington Medals awarded by Freedoms Foundation, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. 2 — Chapel is still a daily opportunity for worship and for building college spirit. 3 — LCC’s first color guard.
