ariam DR. LAURENCE H. HOWE In his earlier years Dr. Laurence H. Howe was active in the administration of the college, serving as vice-president and also taking an active part in alumni activities and sponsoring student organ- izations. Failing in health in the last few years made it necessary for him to drop many of these activities. At the time of his death, he was pro- fessor of historical theology. Dr. Howe graduated from Olivet Nazarene College in 1921 and received his B.D. from Mc- Cormack Seminary in 1931. He received his doc- tor of divinity degree at Olivet in 1939. Prior to returning to Olivet in 1932 as a mem- ber of the faculty he was pastor of Nazarene churches at Racine, Wisconsin, Harvey, Illinois, and Elgin, Illinois. . L p.
