Pryor Scrapbook Clippings, 1945-2000

20TH CENTURY CHRISTIAN EDUCATOR OF YEAR Dr. Joseph Pryor, Dean of Harding College, was named the recipient of the Chdstian Educational Award of 1970-71. The accomplishments of Dr. Pryor are amaz– ing. Not only does he serve as Dean of the College, but he also serves as an elder in the College Congregation; an author of scientific textbook material; and "sneaks in" the teaching of a few science courses at Harding since teaching is his first love. Dr. Pryor is married to· the former Bessie Mae Led– better and they have three children. Dr. Pryor has . distinguished himself as a Christian educator and the multiple talents of this noble Christian have been recognized in various spheres. He has, and continues to hold, office in state-wide educational and professional orgamzations. He has been the faculty advisor for the Harding College yearbook, the Petit Jean, and consistently during the time of his supervision the book has won All-American Awards for eleven consecutive years. There is nothing to which this man puts his hand that is not splendidly directed. Because of his service to his Lord, to the Church, and particularly to the young people of Harding College, he was chosen to receive the Christian Education Award of the 20th CENTURY CHRISTIAN for the current season. From him students may absorb competency, efficiency and scholar– ship. If this dedicated servant of the Master contributed nothing but the influence of his personality, the Commit– tee's selection of Dr. Pryor for this award would have teen well founded indeed. The 20th CENTURY CHRISTIAN joins in extending congratulations to Dr. Pryor on this achievement. Jim Bill Mclnteer g~ . 111/
