DEDIC TIO Dr Paul T Culbertson Monuments are built in recognition of accomplishments of outstanding men who are no longer alive to witness the rewarding benefits of their deeds. It is with the same sincerity of thought that the LA SIERRA staff dedicates its 1962 annual publication to a gentleman, still impressively virile, who justly merits our respect-DR. PAUL CULBERTSON. The person to whom we dedicate the 1962 LA SIERRA is graphically human and vividly spiritual. We have wit- nessed more than once the sincerity of a great man as he stands before us profoundly giving forth the insights in more abundant measure than any could expect. Dr. Culbertson grew up in Ashland, Oregon, the son of a farmer and sometime speculator. He inherited the in- fluences of a religiously devout family. His uncle T. S. Wiley was mayor of Ashland and a prominent Nazarene layman. After finishing high school in Ashland, Dr. Culbertson traveled south to begin his college work at the University of California fBerkeleyj. Here he received his B.A. and ALWAYS AT HOME WITH A BOOK M.A. degrees in the field of Psychology. In 1941, Dr. Culbertson completed his Ph.D. work in History at the University of Oregon in Eugene. Dr. Culbertson, who had been on the faculty for some years, was appointed in 1948 as dean of Pasadena College. The Clarion of August 1948, said of him: The new Dean is loved for the beautiful comhin- ation of outstanding scholarship with humility, deep sincerity, earnestness and lofty ideals. He has proved to he an ideal dean with a wide knowledge of the scholastic needs of our school as shown in his very competent leadership. And we are privileged to read these, our feelings, toward a man who is daily contributing to all of our lives: DR. PAUL T. CULBERTSON Man of intellectual profundity, scintillating per- sonality and ruggedness and solidity of character - The Christ like gentleman with an overwhelming sense of allegiance to his calling. THE FAMILY - Mrs. Culbertson, Dr. Culbertson, and son Garry. f x f t fy.,

In Remembrance . . H ORTON WILEY We pause a moment to remember one who eclipsed all others in his greatness and also in his humility. No man holds such a place in the golden memories that surround our Alma Mater as does Dr. H. Orton Wiley. Faithful administrator and friend of the college, he walked among us with a radiant countenance. Great purposes throbbed in his soul and great truths filled his mind. Pasadena College in a very real sense is but the lengthened shadow of this man who built his life into our institution and left a challenge in our hearts by his example. Foremost among Nazarene educators and Arminian Theologians, he left us a precious heritage in his writings. Taking up the torch passed on to him by our founder Dr. P. F. Bresee, Dr. Wiley held it high and kept it burning brightly that the people called Nazarenes might, in the formative years of their denomination, chart a clear and Biblical course to a valid faith and its proclamation to all the world. 354. lr' He saw the fulfillment of his dreams and Dr. Bresee's vision for our college: one thousand earnest Christian youths pursuing their quest for a Christian education in an atmosphere charged with a basic loyalty to Christ and the Bible. At last in this his 84th year he answered the call to that great commencement for which his heart had hoped. We acclaim him a graduate of this earthly sojorn summa cum laude and rejoice that he has earned a crown of glory among the faithful. We miss him from his favorite paths and from his chapel chair. We treasure truths he taught us and we seek to comprehend. But most of all we cherish the inuflence that lingers round us from his noble life. God grant us grace to serve our generation after the pattern of this our great colleague and faithful teacher.
