ITJ hey were the cornerstone, the foundation of Harding. The faculty and staff of Harding University as much of a part of the school as the columns of the Administration building made life better. To many, these people were more than just faculty or staff, doctors or professors. They were caring Christians. At Harding, a teacher's job did not end when the bell rang. Office doors were constantly open as students were welcomed part of their lives. Close, long-lasting friendships were a common occurrence between teachers and students. Formal titles were often forgotten. Richard King, for example, was a professor of Bible. Students found him to be an easy-going friend. He was known to everyone as Brother King. His witty character never failed to send echoes of laughter into the halls of the Bible building. Many faculty members earned reputations, and nicknames known around campus. Kenneth Davis was better known to his A Cappella students as "Uncle Bud." Fred Jewell's consistent use of the overhead projector helped him gain the name "Overhead Fred." Dr. Joe Pryor, also called Dr. Joe, was constantly chided about his bow tie while receiving the greatest amount of respect form students and faculty alike. These faculty, staff and administration members made Harding better. Many had been Harding students themselves and were able to relate to other students just as easy. The individuals who made up the faculty and staff were deeply involved in personal projects, missionary work, field related projects and church involvement. These people helped to make Harding the desirable place it was, sharing their lives selflessly to enrich the lives of others. - Sharon Kunkle section editor Silent signals.
