ACADEMICS There are those who choose to excel in teaching. A man once said that his is fhe kind of job, that if he didn ' t get paid to do it, he ' d be will- ing to pay to get to do it. That man was Hubert Derrick, who, as Pep- perdine celebrated its 30th year, also celebrated his 30th year with the college. Hubert Derrick is at once a paradox. As the college ' s senior professor, he is also as young and dynamic as the newest. He epitomizes the Pepperdine professor. The faculty here could be the faculty at any prestigious institution of higher learning. They are educated, dedicated, and committed to the concept that the most valuable education is one in a Christian atmosphere - where the highest academic standards are met and an appreciation of the dignity of man and the sovereignty of God is emphasized. In a world which no longer equates compe- tence with sacrifice, nor quality with dedica- tion, the Pepperdine faculty transcends the past and sets the standard for the present. It is dedicated and it is competent. To be sure, there are average teachers, but most are dynamic individuals with credentials - both educational and personal - to qualify them for any faculty or any chosen profession. Many write, serve as consultants, speak, preach, own businesses, and engage in other activi- ties which increase their professional compe- tency and make their annual incomes compar- able to that of colleagues in public colleges. The Pepperdine faculty is made up of men and women who could excel in any profes- sion - but who choose to excel in teaching. Many love their jobs enough, that if they could afford it, they would pay to be able to teach at Pepperdine - if they didn ' t get paid to do it. . . . rage 8
