Although the first seminar was held in November 1962 and others have been held since, no academic credit was awarded. The University is a private, nonsectarian coeducational institution. The Board of Regents consists of forty-one members. They received the charter for the University, November 9, 1963. T he Regents are people of stature in Lh e business and professional ommunity who are conse rated Christian leaders. T hey are dedicated to the objectives of the University and provide safeguards and direction for it ongoing program. The University will provide academic excellence in the climate and atmosphere where students may have a personal association with the Master and learn to have Him at the center of their studies and their future careers whether they plan to enter the business world, the pro fessions or any other area. Its projected program, including the spiritual emphasis, admissions requirements, curricula offerings, educational media provisions for the motivation, intensification, and speedup in learning, and the Learning Resources Center appointments have already been hailed by educators as "a bold new idea in education, an exciting center for learning, and one of the brightest stars on the educational horizon." A statement of philo ophy in brief is Lh at the rat Roberts Univer ity is concerned that ea h student emcrg as a well -pr pared individual: spiritually, ethi ·aUy, culturall y, intellectually, psychologically sociall y, and physically. The curriculum in the College of Arts and Sciences was organized on the basis of the belief that man's greatest need is to learn how to make a life of sup rior hristian quality. Particular emphasis is placed upon Biblical theism and the liberal arts tradition with courses prescri bed in the great areas of knowledge: religion, humanities, so ial studies, natural sciences and mathematics. In general, these areas correspond to the need of the student to learn more about God, himself, his fellowman, and the world in which he lives; thus enabling him to assume responsible Chris tian participation in contemporary society. He should harmonize his knowledge, skills and attitudes with his commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and be directed daily by the guiding influence
