MEMPHIS — Richard F.
Baggett, minister and former
missionary to Japan, will teach
“Galatians and Romans" for
college credit at the Churches
of Christ Educational Center,
the Bible Chair serving stu-
dents at Memphis State Univer-
sity.
Baggett, well-known for his
scholarly but practical presen-
tations of Bible lessons, is pres-
ently serving the Coleman Av-
enue Church of Christ in Mem-
phis as minister. The Coleman
Avenue church has been finan-
cially supporting the Bible
Chair work at M.S.U. almost ,
from its inception, and its el-
ders have now permitted Bag-
gett to take time to assist the
program in a teaching capaci-
ty.
He received a B.A. in Bible
at Harding College in 1949 and
an M.A. in Bible from Eastern
New Mexico University in 1950.
Furthermore, he currently is
pursuing higher degrees at
Harding College Graduate
School of Religion in Memphis.
His preaching experience,
which includes evangelistic work
in Arkansas, Mississippi, Ten-
nessee, Texas, and New Mexi-
co, has caused Baggett to see
West Cites
‘Successful’
Summer Work
MEMPHIS — "The Harding
College Graduate School of Bi-
ble and Religion closed Aug. 13
a fruitful summer school with a
large enrollment as summer
enrollment goes in a graduate
school."
This written assessment was
made recently by W. B. West,
Jr., director of the program.
“Our Mission’s Seminar pro-
gram in Searcy, under the di-
rection of professor George
Gurganus, head of our Missions
Department, was very good,"
he added.
He added that a "peace
corps” of young people under
his and Mrs. A. R. Holton's su-
pervision, returned home Sept.
5 after four weeks of "success-
ful experience in Japan and
Korea.”
West said, “We anticipate a
very fruitful academic year, be-
ginning Sept. 20.
“In addition to our regular
faculty, professor J. D. Bales
and professor Earl West will
teach part-time by commuting
to Memphis once a week,” he
added.
"These brethren will be great
assets to our program. We have
the best offerings of our seven
years as a graduate school in
Memphis,” he said.
Beginning Oct. 25, the school
will offer a new program enti-
tled “Continuing Education.”
