June 2004 F ROM the PRESIDENT June 2004 F ROM THE PRESIDENT or HBU, graduation is a time of celebration and a time of remembrance. As students and their families and friends basked in a sense of accomplishment, there was also a sense of reflection ... a time to remember all the effort, work and dedication required to complete the degree. FThis year there were two special additions to our traditional commencement ceremony. As our country is resolved to stand firm for our democracy, we marvel at the bravery of our soldiers whose dedication defends our liberty. It was inspiring to confer a bachelor of science degree on 2nd Lt. Stephanie Smith and applaud her commissioning into the United States Army. It made us all proud. Our heartfelt appreciation for her dedication was acknowledged with the audience’s applause. In celebrating 40 years of excellence, we also acknowledged another milestone as Dr. Don Looser, vice president for academic affairs, celebrated 40 years of service. It was a fitting occasion to acknowledge such dedication and commitment to the University. It is these relationships that give definition to these significant times and to the special people who embody the history of HBU. Just as we have celebrated graduation, we also respectfully honored another university tradition, Homecoming. This spring we paid tribute to a “home coming” built upon faith in His word. Both Dr. W. H. Hinton and Dr. Troy Womack invested their lives in this University; they demonstrated a pioneer spirit and a deep Christian conviction as they helped to build a new college. As founding President, Dr. Hinton held a unique vantage point ... from welcoming its first students to a new campus built from a rice field to hiring talented faculty and staff committed to academic excellence in a Christian environment ... thanking friends and donors for their prayers and support ... and even selecting the school colors and the Husky mascot! Dr. Hinton shared his dreams and passion with Dr. Troy Womack, whom he hired to be vice president for financial affairs. They became trusted colleagues and friends ... two men working together to make a dream a reality. With their lives intertwined for so many years, it seems fitting that we honor them together again in a special tribute. Of the more than 13,350 graduates during these past forty years, many have distinguished themselves in their communities and churches. And this institution has remained true to its foundation. In 1960, the Preamble was adopted by the Board of Trustees of Houston Baptist College. Since then, there has been only one change in the document ... the name change to Houston Baptist University. Our Christian commitment has remained steadfast. When John 14:6 was carved into the cornerstone of the Brown Administrative Building, it was also indelibly etched into the heart and soul of our Founders, faculty, staff and students. Today we honor the memory of the many men and women who invested in the life of Houston Baptist University and we plan for tomorrow with those committed to sharing our vision…to be recognized as one of metropolitan America’s premier academic Christian institutions. We salute our heritage and embrace our future as Houston’s Blessed University! E.D.

Judson College, however, reserves the right to make modifications at any time without notice. Financial charges, course offerings, and admission requirements, among other things, may well change during the two years covered by this catalog. All changes to the catalog will be maintained in the Office of the Registrar and may be viewed upon request. Changes will also be posted within a reasonable period of time on Judson College’s website (www.judson.edu).
