air? anvil' ,f -sa ' Dr. Eugene S. Briggs During a twenty-three year administration, Dr. Eugene S. Briggs has been known as the builder president for all the construction which has been planned and carried out during those years. Coming here in Feb. 1938, he had formerly been president of Christian College in Columbia, Mo., Missouri State Department of Education, and State Teachers College in Durant, Okla. Degrees were awarded him by Central College, the University of Missouri, and Columbia University. When he arrived, the school was suffering from the depression, and, with admirable foresight, Dr. Briggs set out to make it grow to meet the demands of the day. Through years of dedicated service he accomplished his goals and made our motto and standard live. c'Christian Education, the Hope of the Worldli reminds Phillipians in all parts of the globe that in the chaos and confusion of a modern society, a goal has been set and a man and an institution, under his direction, have grown toward that goal.
