Junior College is the greatest
challenge for Christian Higher Ed
ucation ever to confront Free Will
Baptists, arwf it is here that we
must ware our just part of the re
sponsibility of providing higher
education for the youth of our
chunch and state.”
In presenting the need for ad

chief concern in Mount Olive Jun
ior College must be the type of
education we offer our students.
This institution prefers to be
known for the quality Of its work
and not its size.” The Convention
went on record as “endorsing the
concept that Mount dive Junior
College be made a citadel for lib
eral arts education in keeping with
the highest Christian and academic
standards.”
