Dream and A Reality ).{any years ago Christian men and women dreamed of an institution in Arkansas ,mere young men and womer would be instructed in the truth of God as they were being taught the three "R's" Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic. They envisioned the ~tes of that institution going ; to the world to serve as farmers, teachers and -'u.inessmen, but also serving as edicated, capable leaders in God's kingdom at home and abroad. The dream became a reality. It was a humble beginning when compared to the large universities of America, but it was a solid beginning. The school was built upon truths and prinf iples that ~ve charted its course and influenced its ways. Decades have passed and times have changed, but Harding Univer ity rolls on and toudtes the lives of a multitude of people - both on and off th c;· pt: . s sf'l our Creator and Jesus is still our Lord and Savior.
