BRYAN COLLEGE DAYTON, TENNESSEE

VOLUME 54

Table of Contents

First hello, and then good-bye

How quick is the time

When friends meet with friends for awhile

You gave to us. we gave to you Love has been born

And like a child, runs so quickly through life And grows up

Love grows when Christians unite

So much love, it's hard to untie

And it hurts more when we say good-bye

But its worth it with Jesus

Cause you know it with Jesus

We wouldn't even know the meaning of love

Friends will come, and friends will go

All throughout lives

It's so fine to have friends in the Lord

'Cause all those friends, we'll see again

On the day we go home

Won't it be such a special reward?

Opening II

Dr. Theodore C. Mercer

President of Bryan College

1956-1986

Dr. Theodore C. Mercer was the elected president of Bryan College in June 1956, completing thirty years in 1985-1986. He was born in Spring City, Tennessee on September 3, 1920. Dr. Mercer received an M.A. in 1944 from Bob Jones University and continued his postgraudate education at the University of Chicago and Houghton College. He married Ora Alice Moore on August 24, 1944. Dr. Mercer was licensed to preach at a Methodist church in 1938 and ordained to the ministery of a Baptist church in 1942. Between teaching, preaching and working the Mercers had three boys; Theodore Chelton, John Moore, and David Mark.

Dr. Mercer is the fourth president of Bryan College, having succeeded Dr. Judson A. Rudd in 1955. At the time enrollment was 250. Since then enrollment has doubled and accreditation was granted to Bryan in 1969 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. During his tenure as president the hilltop campus has undergone major expansion: renovations of the Administration Building; construction of H.D. Long, Huston, Arnold and Woodlee-Ewing Residence Halls: Bryan Village, married student apartments; Summers Gymnasium; Annex; Rhea House, official residence of the president; and Rudd Memorial Auditorium and the Fine Arts Center. In addition to these physical improvements, the spiritual commitment of the college has been not only maintained but enhanced. Additional accomplishments include the two advisory councils developed to aid the Board of Trustees: The National Advisory Council and the Rhea County Advisory Committee. The Staley Distinguised Scholar Lecture Series is scheduled annually. Also added to the yearly agenda are: a Pastor's Conference and a Family Bible Conference.

Dr. Mercer has been active in community service from Cub Scouts, PTA, and Band Parents to L'nited Givers (local Chairman for ten years), American Cancer Society (state and regional levels). Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, and the Dayton Chamber of Commerce, on which he served several terms as a director.

Dr. Karl E. Keefer

Vice President for Academic Affairs

1957-1966 and 1979-1986

Dr. Karl E. Keefer has served Bryan College in some capacity for 24 of his 43 years in college administration. Dr. Keefer first served at Bryan from 1957 to 1966 as academic dean, administrative vice president, faculty member, and for a time as dean of students. From 1971 to 1979, he served on the Bryan Board of Trustees. Dr. Keefer returned to the administrative staff of the college in 1979 as the vice president for academic affairs, the position he has held these past seven years. During these seven years as academic dean, Dr. Keefer has seen many changes at Bryan including accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, an increase in student enrollment, and an increase in the number of faculty members with earned doctorates.

Dr. Keefer began his career in college administration just one year following his graduation from Bob Jones University in 1942. He returned to Bob Jones and served as Registrar for four years, 1943-1947. During that time he also continued his studies, receiving his M.A. in Religion in 1947 from Bob Jones. He then changed positions at BJU and served as the Dean for the School of Fine Arts for the next six years, 1947-1953. Dr. Keefer was then the Dean of Washington Bible College for the years 1953-1957. He then came to Bryan and served for nine years. And, at this time, he continued his education at the University of Chattanooga and was awarded the M.Ed, in Educational Administration in 1960. Leaving Bryan in 1957, he became an Associate Professor in the Graduate Center at the University of Tennessee/Memphis, serving in this capacity the next three years. He then moved to the University of Tennessee/Martin where he was the Dean of the School ot Education the next ten years. He earned his Ed.D. in Educational Psychology and Guidance from the University of Tennessee/Knoxville in 1965. It was during his years at the University of Tennessee that he was a Trustee at Bryan.

Dr. Keefer married Sue Thompson, June 20, 1942. The Lord has given Dr. and Mrs. Keefer two fine sons: Karl Elton Keefer III and Thomas James Keefer. Dr. and Mrs. Keefer plan to live in Dayton following retirement. They will continue to involve themselves in both Dayton and Bryan community affairs in the years to come.

Mr. Kermit A. Zopfi Dean of Students

Mr. Kermit Zopfi entered Bryan college for his first years of college in 1946. At that time Bryan was not accredited so Mr. Zopfi transferred to Wheaton College where he received a B.A. in Bible and History and an M.A. in Christian Education. After receiving these degrees Mr. Zopfi re- turned to Bryan to help set up the Christian Education field. In 1952 Mr. Zopfi became the first proffessor of Christian Education. He also taught History of Western Civilization, English History, History of Missions, Philosophy of Missions and Methods of Missions. He served as head of the Christian Service Association (now known as Practical Christian Involvement) and as advisor for the class of 1955.

On September 5, 1953 Mr. Zopfi married Gleneale Faulks and continued at Bryan College for the next two years. Mrs. Zopfi was in charge of the college print shop. In 1955 they left to begin work with Greater Europe Mission in Germany. After a fifteen year association with GEM he served for two years at Azusa Pacific College as Financial Aid Officer and as counselor in Student Development. Mr. Zopfi earned another M.A. while at Azusa Pacific, this one in psychology and counseling.

In 1972 President Theodore Mercer invired Mr. Zopfi to return to Bryan College as Dean of Students. Mrs. Zopfi became the switchboard op- eratot and secretary. Mr. Zopfi became Assistant Professor of German. During his time back Mr. Zopfi has also served as advisor to the Student Senate and Student Union and as Chairman of the Student Life Council. He has been on various committees and councils, coordinated the Missions Conferences, and worked closely with President Mercer in chapel scheduling and the keeping of the college calendar. For seven years he has served as Treasurer and Membership Chairman for the Association for Christians in Student Dcvelopement, a national organization.

Love grows when Christians unite

So much love, it's hard to untie

And it hurts more when we say good-bye

But it's worth it with Jesus

' Cause you know without Jesus

We wouldn't even know the meaning of love

Union

The purpose ot Student Union is to provide fun and exciting activities for the student body. This year's Student Union has set the goal of honoring Christ through: more creative activities, good organization, credability, and unity within Union — the results being a greater school unity.

Senate

Student senate has been actively preparing since last spring for this year, selectiong Prayer, People, and Projects — in that order — for its priorities.

One of Senate's first concerns was the newly-arrived freshman class. They were properly oriented and inititated with a visit to town, the Preisdent's Reception, and an early morning walk to Pocket. Traditional Homecoming activities included class competion during Sprit Week, Homecoming Court, and the banquet. Broccoli Bowl ("friendly" competition between Bryan, Covenant and Lee) was held for the first time in four years. Also, Senate reflected and acted on such student concerns as sale of pornographic material at a nearby convenient store. In addition. Senate had much discussion of moral and governmental issues as they related to the responsibilities of Christian college students. Senate stressed accountability and unity among student organizations on campus through encouragement and periodic reports.

Koinonia (a bi-weekly time of sharing and fellowship among students), Senate chapels, coffee houses, and much prayer constituted Senate's endeavors to stimulate a strong spiritual atmosphere on campus.
