“In Gods providence and His perfect timing, He calls T (U> L e /iA -

men to service,” said Clayton M. Custer, chairman of the board, dM

at the Sept. 28 presidential inauguration of Richard Alan

Stratton, Ph.D. In his inaugural address, Dr. Bob Jones, III

said that a Ph.D. by itself can destroy a college. It must stand

for “Praising Him Daily, Petitioning Him Diligently, and Prac- dy

ticing His Disciplines.” Dr. George Youstra, president emeri­

tus, charged his predecessor to “Press on toward the mark of

the high calling.” Dr. Arthur Steele, chancellor, gave a dedica- frhA

tory prayer. Dr. Stratton’s response to the challenge was that of tA jZ fa

Proverbs 11:14: “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in C A jw n ^ c A jt ■

the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” He thanked the 121:9

Lord for his multitude of counsellors and said, “The pursuit of

God is an amazing thing. I am unworthy, but I serve an al­

mighty, unchangeable God.”
