Trevecca Nazarene University - Darda Yearbook (Nashville, TN)

Through the alliance of the Holy Spirit, people have given prayerful and financial support in a way that has enabled Trevecca to rally in the tradition of long ago days. The Million Dollar Debt, seemed forever imprinted on Tre- vecca ' s bank books, was miraculously erased. The Southern Association of Colleges and Universities repealed the private probation that had been levied be- cause of the floating debt and East Campus change re- quirements. Along with these victories, the spirit of reviv- al continues to thrive. The students voted not to build a new Student Center because they felt that a few major improvements could restore the Student Center, but that it should be secondary to the restoration of the J.O. McClurkan Building, which is the center for campus wor- ship activities. In light of her foundation of Christianity, Trevecca stands on tiptoe, reaching for the stature of the founder, and approximating that stance, looking again into J.O. McClurkan ' s clear-visioned eyes to find her own ministry laid out before her. We will not surrender the dreams of the past, for in their excellence they carry the assurance of victory. . . . and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
