LANCER'S CALIFORNIA BAPTIST COLLEGE KO U N D FAB! Vol. I, No. Six RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA July, 1961 Flemings "Invest" $5,000 in Annie Gabriel Library Faculty Strength Increased Dr. and Mrs. William Fleming, Christian Philanthropists and prominent Baptists of Fort Worth, Texas, have made another investment in California Baptist College. A check for $5,000, designated for the purchase of books for the Annie Gabriel Library, has been received by President Simmons. This gift, or "investment" as the Flemings prefer to regard it, will enable CBC library personnel to bring the number of volumes accessioned to more than 28,000 by mid- September, well beyond requirements of the Western College Association accreditation committee. Dr. and Mrs. Fleming have on occasion stated that their charitable interests are in the field of Christian education. Their investment in CBC at this time, their second since accreditation probabilities have been emphasized ($10,000 was given in I960), accentuates their belief that the college is destined to be one of the great educational institutions of the Southern Baptist Convention. Among the hundreds of others who have the Fleming's feeling of concern and great expectation, are Mrs. Edith Boyington, of LongBeach, the J. D. Gospins of Arcadia, and Owen Cooper, of Yazoo City, Mississippi. Mrs. Boyington has memorialized $500 worth of books in honor of her deceased husband, Emmett Eugene Boyington. Mr. and Mrs. Gospin have sent a check for $250 for library expansion. Mr. Cooper also has contributed to the library, in the amount of $100, has made available $2,000 worth of loan funds for students, and has paid out one 500-500 Plan and requested another note. Scores of donors of books and cash gifts large and small are being led of the Lord to share the responsibilities and joys of great stewards. Dr. Simmons hands vital check for library to Business Manager Harden (right). Degrees Conferred on Six Six students completed bachelor degree studies with the close of the 1961 regular summer session at California Baptist College and were awarded degrees Friday, July 21. Summer commencement exercises were held in the auditorium of Magnolia Avenue Baptist Church. Dr. Robert E. Craig, dean of the college, delivered the commencement address. His subject was The Parade into the Paradoxical Paradise. Dr. Loyed R. Simmons, president, gave a congratulatory statement and conferred degrees as follows: Bachelor of arts: Janette Barnes, San Jose, California; Ann Craig Lewis, St. Helena; Vera McRae, Baldwin Park; and Paul S. Wallace, Arlington. Bachelor of science: Jack Henry Barnett, Wynnewood, Oklahoma, and Betty Jean Jones, Gridley, California. The College Summer Chorus, under the direction of Professor James Walker, sang Alleluia! Sing Praise (Bach-Hirt). Professor A. Thomas Talbert accompanied at the organ. "Considerable progress" can be the response to inquiries concerning needed additions to the faculty of California Baptist College. President Loyed R. Simmons has evinced much pleasure and thanksgiving in releasing names of eminent and qual- fied educators who will assume teaching duties with the opening of the fall semester. Dr. Lawrence A. Nelson joins the CBC faculty as professor of English and chairman of the division of humanities.
