Advance With Anticipation 9' With this challenge to PCB, President Douglas B. MacCorkle closed his inaugural address on October 18, 1963. He was well equipped to lead PCB to fulfill that challenge by his experience as a pastor and as Academic Dean of Washington Bible College. His vision of PCB guided the school for 14 years. One of his primary goals was achieved in 1967 when PCB received accreditation from Middle States Accrediting Association. Another of his thrusts was an increasing emphasis on professional specialties, while retaining the Bible as the center of the curriculum. PCB is the only Bible College which has been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. lt is also one of the three Bible Colleges accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music, and Dr. MacCorkle consistently emphasized the importance of music. Under his administration the Communications Center also grew and acquired much of the equipment necessary for modern education. Dr. MacCorkle's presidency was marked by his exuberance, which was exhibited in everything he did, from long hours of work to wild games of ping pong, tennis, and softball. His dependence on God has also been seen from the beginning, when he accepted the position in the light of 1 Kings 319: Give me, Lord, an understanding, discerning heart so that l may lead your people. But Dr. MacCorkle's ministry to PCB did not end with his resignation from the Presidency in the spring of 1977. He is now serving as Chancellor of the College. He will continue teaching Bible courses, preaching in churches, speaking at Bible Conferences, writing Bible commentaries, and he is preparing a translation of the New Testament. He represents PCB with four accrediting agencies, is the President of the American Association of Bible Colleges, and serves on the Council on Post Secondary Accreditation Board. 94 Dr MacCorkle
