| Résumé : |
In the providence of God, Wheaton College has reached its 125th year of service in Christian higher education. The anniversary year of 1984-85 is characterized by events of a celebrating nature and by appropriate commemorative materials.
Among these is this history of the College by Paul M. Bechtel, professor of English emeritus. The author's investigation into the historic resources of Wheaton College has produced a carefully documented and comprehensive volume. Seasoned with lore and at times anecdotal, this story moves through a century and a quarter of events that unfold Wheaton's growth from a fledging institution on the prairie frontier of Illinois to a mature liberal arts college with far-reaching influence and with alumni who serve worldwide. For readers who desire additional biographical information on the presidents of Wheaton College, three volumes have been published: Minority of One by Clyde Kilby, on the life of Jonathan Blanchard; The Life of Charles Albert Blanchard by Frances Blanchard; and V. Raymond Edman — In the Presence of the King by Earl Cairns. Wheaton College — A Heritage Remembered is commended to you for enlightenment and understanding of the dynamic that has characterized this pioneer of Christian liberal arts colleges from 1860 to 1984. |
