Christian Education; Recommendations for Baptist Colleges
Abstract
Description
Report from Council on Chrisian Education discusses financial needs of colleges and recommends process by which 1/4 of college board trustees (non-Baptists/out of state) be nominated by the boards and approved by the convention. Dr. Hoyt Blackwell, president of Mars Hill College, speaks of strong Baptist connection of colleges to convention and urges adoption of proposal. Objections are raised by Tom Freeman and M. O. Owens that it is a radical change only for financial reasons, affecting every Baptist college, without the safeguard that the college president would be a Baptist.
