Chief among its founders was Adoniram Judson Gordon, pastor of the Clarendon Street Baptist Church in Boston, whose name was adopted for the school after his death. After 25 years and several changes in location, Gordon moved to Evans Way in the area of Boston known as the Fenway. There, with the leadership of Dr. nathan R. Wood, Gordon developed into a coeducational theological college and graduate divinity school. In 1944 Dr. T. leonard lewis succeeded Dr. Wood as president. he continued the expansion of Gordon’s educational program, which, after World War II, necessitated relocation to a larger campus. In 1947 the College purchased Princemere, the thousand-acre north Shore estate of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Prince. By 1955 the move to Wenham was completed with Gordon offering both undergraduate liberal arts degrees and a graduate divinity degree. Following the death of Dr. lewis, the Board of Trustees in 1960 installed Dr. James Forrester as Gordon’s fourth president. Gordon’s fifth president was Dr. harold J. ockenga, who assumed the presidency April 1, 1969, after 32 years as pastor of Boston’s historic Park Street Church. Under President ockenga’s leadership Gordon’s campus facilities, academic programs and student enrollment were substantially expanded. In 1970 the merger of Conwell School of Theology (Philadelphia) with Gordon Divinity School formed Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, which relocated in nearby South hamilton. The College then assumed an independent identity as a liberal arts college. Dr. Richard Gross became Gordon’s sixth president April 1, 1976, after nine years as the school’s academic dean and vice president. In September 1985, under Dr. Gross’s leadership, Gordon College and Barrington College merged to become the only nondenominational Christian liberal arts college in new England. The two colleges had similar origins and histories. Both came from the evangelical Christian tradition of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Barrington College was founded in 1900 in Spencer, Massachusetts, as Bethel Bible Training School. Under the leadership of the first president, the Reverend Essek W. Kenyon, the school moved from Spencer to Dudley, Massachusetts, and the name was changed to Dudley Bible Institute. Dr. howard Ferrin became president in 1925 and moved the school to Rhode Island, where the name was changed to Providence Bible Institute. The name was changed to Barrington College when the college moved to Barrington, Rhode Island, in 1951. now, as one College with an enrollment of approximately 1,700 undergraduate students as well as master’s programs, Gordon College is an outstanding community of higher learning, exploring the implications of Christian concepts and principles of the issues, trends and concerns of modern society. Dr. R. Judson Carlberg was inaugurated president in 1992 and immediately undertook a strategic planning process in which he involved faculty, staff and members of the Board of Trustees. This plan was finalized and agreed upon by all levels of the College community and set a new pace and standard for Gordon College. It was strategic in planning for better facilities, new programs and a larger endowment while increasing the number and quality of students entering the College. In 1994 a charter change to allow for the Master of Education degree was obtained. In 1996 Gordon College received program approval from the State Board of Education and the higher Education Coordinating Council to offer a Master of Education degree and a variety of graduate teacher programs. In the year 2002 Gordon’s accreditation was extended by the new England Association of Schools and Colleges to include the graduate programs in education. The graduate programs now include the Master of Education, the Master of Arts in Teaching and the Master of Music Education. General | 7 Location Gordon College is located 25 miles north of Boston on several hundred acres of land in the north Shore communities of Wenham, Manchester and hamilton. The campus has five ponds, and borders Chebacco lake. The nearby ocean and the mountains of new hampshire provide both summer and winter recreational activities for Gordon students. Gordon is ideally located for a liberal arts college; museums and libraries of Metropolitan Boston and the north Shore area provide opportunities for research and student cooperative experiences, while many historical sites nearby afford unique insights into the political, social and literary histories of the United States. Many acres of undeveloped land on Gordon’s campus provide a laboratory for study in the natural sciences. The private and public schools of the north Shore communities make available a variety of philosophical and methodological approaches to the education of children. opportunities to become involved in business and research abound, especially in electronic and research laboratories on the north Shore. Philosophy of Education Gordon College, an independent liberal arts and sciences institution, is distinctively Christian in its educational philosophy and mode of operation. It stresses quality in teaching and employs teacher-scholars who mentor students in the education and development of the whole person. Students from many denominations, states and territories, and foreign countries are represented in the coeducational student body. The College is accredited by the new England Association of Schools and Colleges. It is also accredited, certified and approved by the national Association of Schools of Music, the Council on Social Work Education for Baccalaureate Social Work Education, the Massachusetts Board of higher Education, the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the national Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and licensure, and the United States Government.

PUB DATE Dec 70 NOTE 19p. ERRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Church Related Colleges, *College Graduates, *Enrollment Trends, *Theological Education ABSTRACT To determine the extent to which the Christian colleges serve as a source of students for selected theological seminaries in the United States, seminary catalogs with student rosters were obtained from 11 seminaries. Those included were: Gordon, Grace, Dallas, Fuller, Western Baptist, Talbot, Trinity, Eastern Baptist, Calvin, Princeton, and Bethel. The findings indicated that:(1) Christian college graduates tended to attend seminary within the same geographic region as their undergraduate college, though Princeton and Dallas drew their students from all areas of the country; (2) Christian colleges affiliated with seminaries tended to be the greatest source of Christian college graduates for that seminary;(3) Bible colleges produced a surprisingly high percentage of the total enrollment of the seminaries;(4) several seminaries received a substantial percentage (over 30 percent) of their students from the public sector; and (5) Christian colleges supplied 43 percent of the seminarians to these seminaries.

    ABSTRACT Reclaiming Peace: Evangelical Scientists And

    ABSTRACT Reclaiming Peace: Evangelical Scientists and Evolution After World War II Christopher M. Rios, Ph.D. Advisor: William L. Pitts, Jr., Ph.D. This dissertation argues that during the same period in which antievolutionism became a movement within American evangelicalism, two key groups of evangelical scientists attempted to initiate a countervailing trend. The American Scientific Affiliation was founded in 1941 at the encouragement of William Houghton, president of Moody Bible Institute. The Research Scientists‘ Christian Fellowship was started in London in 1944 as one of the graduate fellowship groups of Inter-Varsity Fellowship. Both organizations were established out of concern for the apparent threat stemming from contemporary science and with a desire to demonstrate the compatibility of Christian faith and science. Yet the assumptions of the respective founders and the context within which the organizations developed were notably different. At the start, the Americans assumed that reconciliation between the Bible and evolution required the latter to be proven untrue. The British never doubted the validity of evolutionary theory and were convinced from the beginning that conflict stemmed not from the teachings of science or the Bible, but from the perspectives and biases with which one approached the issues. Nevertheless, by the mid 1980s these groups became more similar than they were different. As the ASA gradually accepted evolution and developed convictions similar to those of their British counterpart, the RSCF began to experience antievolutionary resistance with greater force. To set the stage for these developments, this study begins with a short introduction to the issues and brief examination of current historiographical trends.
