Twelve Skiles' Administration Continues

S, ►tudent government had been organized since the Sandefer years, but its executive officers and its role had changed over the years. In President Reiff s time, the Student Association had executive, legislative, and judicial departments. The Senate and House of Representatives, consisting of representatives of various phases of campus life, made up the legislative department.1 The form of government was altered little by little over the years until the three divisions joined to make one Student Congress. After discussion with those governing the student body, President Skiles had agreed to obtain a full-time counselor for students, and to involve more students in decision-making affecting the Artist's Series, student recruitment, and dress codes affecting female students.2

Some rules for conduct remained very much the same for decades, but some sexist rules were eliminated in the seventies. All women students were previously required to sign out in their own handwriting if leaving campus during the day or if leaving their residence hall after 6 p.m. Female students were asked in the student handbook not to smoke in public: "It is considered to be against the traditionally high standards of the university."3 As recently as 1970, pants and shorts for women were not to be worn in campus buildings including the cafeteria and the rest of the student center, or in downtown Abilene. In 1974, Title IX, a new state law was enacted concerning equality of the sexes which affected women's athletics and dormitory hours. There had been no restrictions on the young men's hours for some years. The young

Conclusion

T. he first student to register at Simmons College is said to have been Dora Kelly, who registered in the Primary Department at ten years of age. As she sat on the president's knee and printed her name on the enrollment card, he said to her, "You may be glad some day, little girl, that you were the first to enroll in this school. Who knows but that some day it may be a great school."1

Sixty-five years later, the school was flourishing and its president, E. A. Reiff, maintained that "Hardin-Simmons University believed itself entitled to the designation 'a distinctive Baptist University'. . . small enough to maintain a unity of spirit and large enough to offer varied and special services to its students."2

Over the last century, shifting population, the rise of state-funded institutions for higher education, economic depressions, decreasing numbers of college-age students, wars, increasing costs of education—all of these have affected private colleges and universities and have caused many to close. One point, nonetheless, is quite definite. No great Christian movement has suc- ceeded unless it has had strong teaching to train workers to carry on its ideas and ideals. Training, whether formal or informal, is necessary for distinctive traditions to have lasting effect. The story of Baptist education in the state and in the nation includes both triumphant success and dismal failure. Former President James H. Landes felt it was naive to expect missionaries, preachers, and Sunday school workers to come from public schools or from other

denominational institutions without the appropriate background to serve the denomination well, even though it is a wonderful truth that God allows human beings to worship Him in different denominational settings, and to pursue knowledge in different academic institutions.

The mission of HSU has remained remarkably constant. In the original Foundation Agreement, James B. Simmons wrote that the mission

is not likely to be accomplished except through the instrumentality of Christian Schools and Colleges, in which Christianity shall be the confessed and formative principles of their whole organization, method and life, and in which it shall be the constant aim of teachers by a truly liberal and Christian culture, (1) To bring young men and women to Christ, (2) To teach them of Christ, and (3) To train them for Christ; And Whereas, such truly Christian College must give actual Christian instruction, not only in other departments of Science, Literature, and Liberal Culture, but especially in the Word of God, the greatest classic, in the story of the Church, the greatest history, in the doctrines of the Bible, the greatest science, and in Christian Ethics, the noblest morality.3

Every few years the aims, philosophy, and purpose of the University are revised and stated in the annual catalogues. After one hundred years the 1990- 91 Catalogue states very similar aims: "the need for interaction between faith and reason" and a commitment to "search for truth wherever it may be found." The University "affirms the dignity of the individual based on the belief that each person is created in the image of God." Jesus Christ is believed to be "the revealer of God," "the redeemer of mankind," and "the model for humanity." The purpose has not changed significantly and states that the University exists to provide "higher education in selected liberal arts, professional, and pre-professional programs."4

Hundreds of trees and well-kept lawns reflect the development of the beautiful campus which began with a three-story building erected on a few acres of rough, burr-infested prairie grassland. The present atmosphere of permanence, however, obscures the inauspicious beginnings, the exhausting fund-raising campaigns that consumed the time and health of many of the administrators, the difficulty in attracting worthy faculty to a relatively remote area, and the struggle to improve curriculum standards. Despite all this, the school has managed to meet the stringent standards of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools when their committees have examined the University every ten years. It has collected glory through its fine missionary alumni at home and abroad, as well as through alumni who have excelled in many other

311 Conclusion

professions. It has known prosperous times of incredible growth, both in enrollment and in funding. It has enjoyed triumphs on the athletic fields, excelled in preparing well-educated musicians, produced thousands of teachers for public elementary and high schools, and for the last fifteen years placed almost one-third of each graduating class in the business arena.

To truly know Hardin-Simmons, one must look beyond the buildings, the landscaping, the classrooms, and computerization, into the lives and times of the students, staff, faculty, and administration. The people and the times turned the institution from a tiny group of less than one hundred who required education from primary through junior college level into an institution of higher learning which trains about 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students each year. Jesse C. Fletcher, Centennial President, said:

Hardin-Simmons is an unusual experience for the uninitiated. On one hand, it boasts one of the finest classical Schools of Music to be found in the whole country, an outstanding Research Center in Microbiology, and a reputation for academic excellence. On the other hand, it keeps alive with sincere pride its frontier traditions and its western heritage.5

The treatment of blacks at HSU has been better than average, and attention to blacks, along with Hispanics has increased each year. Southern Baptists had their minds opened by the civil rights movement and began to respond in the sixties. An empirical report in early 1990 stated that Southern Baptists had improved to the point where it was the most racially inclusive religious body in America.6

The present administration opened a new initiative in 1990 to recruit minority students, and increased scholarships for them. In the spring of 1990, senior high school students in Abilene's public high schools were offered a Challenge Scholarship guarantee for as many as eight semesters if they took fifteen hours each semester and maintained a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5. This scholarship program guaranteed that HSU would add the amount necessary to cover the students' full costs of tuition after they receive other scholarships and'grants from federal, state, and private sources. The Challenge Scholarship students had to agree to work ten hours a week at a campus work/study job but could apply their earnings to personal expenses and educational costs such as books. President Fletcher said the program is a "commitment to Abilene" to express confidence in the potential of these students.7

Karl Marx rebuked the scholars of his day by declaring, "The historians have interpreted the world; the thing, however, is to change it."8 It is at once both frightening and exciting that those presently involved in Baptist uni-

Conclusion 312

versities have the challenge of seeking again the will of God for His direction regarding the future of these particular institutions. Values, in the form of knowledge of world history and its lessons to mankind plus the fundamentals of Christian faith, must be transferred to students at these schools before education is complete.

The year 1990 was a milestone in political ideological change throughout much of the world. The decade from 1980 to 1990 was an exceedingly tumultuous one for Southern Baptists. As the school has been affected by each generation thus far, so it will continue to be molded. Present leaders of the denomination and of its institutions have had considerably more academic education personally, more opportunity for travel, more psycho- logical insight, and more specialized expertise to help them than any previous group. These leaders are now inquiring, listening, praying, sifting through information, and weighing all their conclusions in order to lead their institution into a new century of challenges.

A Second Century Task Force at HSU composed of alumni, faculty, and students has included in its planning the hope that students will be able to study under increasingly fine faculty in a school where the endowments will have tripled between 1990 and the year 2000. Scholarship endowment funds alone were over $19,000,000 for the 1990-91 year, up from $6,000,000 a decade before. Students and parents complain of increased costs for tuition and other fees, but few are aware that about 88 percent of the freshmen in 1988-89 received some financial help from the school to meet these amounts, and 85 percent of all the students received some form of aid. During the 1989-90 school year, 93 percent of freshmen who applied for aid received it.9 These statistics have been typical of several years, but it cannot be taken for granted that financial help will always continue at the necessary level. The administration constantly aims at conceiving new ways in which the buildings and grounds can be used during summer months, evenings, and weekends to help defray the mammoth annual costs of operation. There is a nationwide trend toward year-round schooling from primary school through college. This trend is not entirely to encourage a higher standard of education which is badly needed to compete on world markets, but to make better economic use of existing physical facilities to offset the cost of buildings, upkeep of grounds, and salaries for full-time staff.

New consortiums are planned among the three local universities to do research, a possible graduate school consortium, and a computerized library to lessen duplication of facilities and resources. More students will learn through televised lectures, and most students will be able to access data from

313 Conclusion

libraries across the country directly from their personal computers in their dormitory rooms. More programs involving exchanges of students between HSU and overseas will allow better preparation for all students to live in a shrinking world, as well as for international business dealings and worldwide church-related ministries.

For the first twenty years of the school's existence, higher learning was viewed askance by many well-meaning individuals. It had to be socially useful, they thought, with the learners aiming to serve the church and their fellows, or else the motive was sinful—monetary profit or a selfish sense of superiority. In spite of the prevailing conservatism, the vision exemplified by the first President, W. C. Friley, was evidenced in the strong faith that his original core of supporters passed on to the next generation: faith that the school would grow greater and that it would maintain a strong Christian faculty.

Practically speaking, faculty salaries were raised dramatically by the present administration so that HSU ranks second only to Baylor in average salary for faculty members among Baptist schools in Texas.10 Staff salaries compare less well with the marketplace. Staff and faculty advantages, however, include a reduction in tuition costs for themselves and family members, insurance and retirement benefits, several of the school holidays, use of school recreational facilities, and free admission to everything in sports, music, and theatre. Each faculty member justifies in writing his reasons for applying for more or better equipment, yet most departments need equipment, and support for research and writing is better but is still not adequate. Many feel the profession of college professor has lost the status it enjoyed years ago. In a positive way, the question of which professions are important in service to God has changed in the minds of most people. All Christian professionals are expected to serve God with heart, mind, and soul. Professors, therefore, should receive salaries more indicative of this viewpoint, which is almost entirely opposite from the viewpoint held one hundred years ago. A large percentage of the general population must involve itself more in the educational system. Being informed almost always results in more concern.

Far more biographies than could be included were compiled for this account. The choice about which alumni to include after 70,000 students have attended HSU, and almost 20,000 have graduated, was virtually impossible. Here is one example of the dilemma: a medical doctor, O. W. "Babe" English, practiced family medicine and surgery for over fifty years in Lubbock. He was the honorary chairman of the "Forging the Future" fund raising campaign in 1984.11 Was his contribution to patients more or less important than that of Conrad Ramsey Lam, a contemporary who graduated magna cum

Conclusion 314

laude in 1927, and for many years served on the Thoracic Surgery staff at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit? In 1950, Lam made medical history by performing one of the first transplants of the heart's main artery from one person to another. He was not only a pioneer in studies of induced cardiac arrest but also pioneered the use of the anti-clotting agent, heparin. He was honored in 1980 along with surgeons of international renown, Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley. Not only was his career outstanding, but he maintained close ties with HSU right up to the time of his death in 1990. Is he to be singled out above the medically trained who went overseas to serve where doctors are in short supply, where lack of the latest antibiotics, outdated surgical equipment, less than well-trained personnel, and the absence of colleagues with whom to confer regarding diagnoses combine to make every day a monumental challenge? Dr. Conrad Lam's brother, Elie Erskine Lam, was also an alumnus, a well-known Wichita Falls real estate developer, a First Baptist Church deacon and Sunday School teacher, and father of five children.

An example of an outstanding female alumnus was Harriet K. Gatlin. She was born in 1896 in a prairie dugout in Roby, Texas. Her father was so determined the children would have an education that he moved the family in 1905 to Burleson, Texas. Harriet attended normal school in nearby Denton, then went on to SWBTS. Funds were not available for her to go as a missionary to China, so she moved to Abilene and studied for a B.A. degree in Sociology. She went to work as a missionary in Arizona and then in New Mexico where she spent the rest of her life in missions. At the age of ninety-two, Miss Gatlin was recognized with a Distinguished Alumni Award by HSU in 1988 for her work as a Southern Baptist leader.12 An accurate "Who's Who" list of HSU alumni is impossible. Surely all "exes" who have attempted to "love their neighbor as themselves" are changing the world, so it was impossible to single out any one person.

This survey of the main tides and swells of the events, organization, and administrative styles of Hardin-Simmons over the first hundred years leaves for others more detailed study of denominational swings, patterns of financial support, and departmental curriculum changes. Most of the important factual details are included, and the impressions of many who have lived the history are recounted. Hardin-Simmons University has served its constituency honorably and deserves to celebrate. It has given a century of service. Those who guide the University into the next century can claim the promise quoted from Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

write the Abilene school's Charter. An- other fact which weakens Crane's claim is that Judge Breedlove was not a member of the college's original Board of Trustees while Legett was vice-president of the original Board.

is very sketchy because of the unavailabil- ity of records other than those found in the Bronco and in the Range Rider. Microfilm records of the college Brand are available in the R. N. Richardson Re- search Center but duplicate the records found in the other college publications. Abilene Reporter-News clippings were used to document athletics from 1978- 90.

until the fifties, enrollment figures were given annually, so it is difficult to find an accurate figure. This annual report quotes a number of 1,486 but researchers agree that the total fall enrollment is likely only slightly more than half that figure.
