Because Dean Lee so aptly
phrased the work of both Dr.
Blackwell and Dr. Moore, part of
his address is reprinted here:
In 1897 Mars Hill College was
greatly in need of a leader. The
man of the hour was found in
our beloved Dr. Moore. In him
men found a man of courage,
ability, and faith in God, in whom
they could put their trust.
Through his untiring efforts, his
faith in God and man, his pray
ers, his Christian living, people
believed in him and Christian edu
cation, and thus through 40 or
more years of labor built Mars
Hill.
“When Dr. Moore desirei to
be relieved of the heavy bu>’dens
and responsibilities, God had an
other man ready for the hour in
our beloved president. Dr. Black-
well. Assuming the task of -en
larging the physical plant, he ha.;
given himself unselfishly and
without reservation to the task.
Keen of intellect, wise in his de
cisions, with a deep and abiding
faith in God and man, he has
won for himself and Mars Hill
College a host of friends who
have faith in him and the cause he
represents and are looking to him
now as the shadow of a great
rock in a weary land.
