Volume 4, Number 3 (2008) Winter 2008

As we celebrate, so do we mourn. Just three weeks before celebrating the 150th anniversary of the chartering of the Baptist College at McMinnville, the Old Oak crashed to the ground. Long a symbol of Linfield College, it feels as though we have lost an old friend. On the cover and inside is a tribute to this silent guardian. We also continue our journey through Linfield’s history, as Marvin Henberg looks at how the educational curriculum has changed over 150 years. This issue also features one of Linfield’s senior professors, whose passion for his subject has taken him around the world. We cover two students, one a former Army Ranger, critically injured in Afghanistan, and another whose talent for talking has led to a major in communication arts. Join us as we continue our journey through Linfield’s rich past and as we plan and prepare for a vibrant future.
