He was a Board member of the Delta Hills Health System Agency and of the Arkansas Kidney Foundation. He served as sub-committee chairman of the Governor's Committee for Employment of the Handicapped. As Planning Committee Chairman, Carr organized the college's first Family Week-end. He headed the project to place state flags in the new athletic facility for each of the states represented in the student body. In November, he attended the meeting of the North American Association of Summer Sessions in Williamsburg, Va. He served as a deacon of the College church of Christ. The role of Christian education is unique. Its purpose is to educate good men and women for now and eternity. The common textbook used in all Christian colleges is the Bible. This sets these institutions apart from secular institutions of higher education. Christian education provides good professional training and opportunities for spiritual growth through the influence of Christian teachers and administrators. One of its unique advantages is the interest taken by the college community in the lives of its students. Assistance and counseling are always available to the student needing help. Christian education has had a great influence on our family since our oldest son enrolled at Harding in 1966. It has helped give greater direction to our lives. I am grateful for this influence for good in our family and in the lives of more than 12,000 Harding alumni. -James F. Carr 1. DR. JAMES CARR, Assistant to the President. 2. DR.
