Tliese words are part of tlie Alma Mater of Bryan
College and liold a poignant meaning to many wlio
liave come in contact with, the school. From its foun-
dation 75 years ago, many things have changed at
Bryan. Eight Presidents, thousands of students, pro-
fessors, buildings and majors have changed. But sev-
eral things have stayed the same. Bryan College
remains a quality academic institution that focuses
on education as well as spiritual enrichment. It
remains planted in its foundation, the ideal of
William Jennings Bryan, who said in 1905, ^'People
are not paying attention to the Bible. I wish for a
college that would present Christ first." This section
is dedicated to showing the growth and history of
Bryan College as well as to reminisce and entertain
A
those familiar with the institution. special thank
you goes out to LaDonna Robinson Olson for her well
researched book Legacy of Faith about the college,as
well as to the Bryan College Alumni office for the
use of their resources. I pray the following pages
will instill the same love for Bryan in your hearts as
it has in mine.

operate the institution; the alumni,
who are its products; the students,
