Its principle objective continues to be that of training and producing black SDA christian leaders for the service of the church and around the world, for the redemption of men and the transformation of society. lt attempts to fulfill its distinctive role and mission by providing qualified young people with a first rate liberal arts education, offering the bachelor's degree in thirteen areas of study. At Oakwood a sharp distinction is made between the imparting of knowledge to the mind, and education which involves shaping the whole being-body, mind and character. Oakwood neither compromises its commitment to academic excellence nor separates education apart from Divine revelation-the true source of knowledge It strives for highest academic objectives in conjunction with a vital relationship and experience with Jesus Christ. The Bible is taught without apology as the inspired and infallible word of God, thus giving a solid religious base. Because of its religious and academic traditions, Oakwood has achieved a position of strength, a real force for leadership among religious colleges. The story ot' Oakwood graduates is a story of leadership and service. They are now found serving around the world. At Oakwood College the student is the central elementg he is our reason for existence, the object of the entire program, the focus of the total effort. Oakwood believes that student centerness enables the students to find self-identitjv self reliance and self-fulfillment during the course of their college career. The college constantly seeks to enrich the quality of its service to the student. This means the stengthening of the present areas of study. the adding of new and essential areas, and the providing of adequate facilities as called for by the quality and nature of instruction undertaken. This through the years has required financial outlay and human sacrifice on the part of administration, faculty. student and constituency, and will continue to do so. The achievement of the college through its dedicated graduates has az:-.ply justified the outlay in money and human effort. Oakwood has done and cozttizzzies to do her noble work in a noble way. May every success attend 'ter as she courageously presses on in the accoinplishment of her heaven-ordained role,
