For the last 29 years she has served on the library staff. In 1974 she was appointed Director of the Library. Bell has noticed many changes in the library over the years, mainly in size, but she still enjoys her work here. "I love working at Harding because of the people I work with on the faculty and staff and because some of the very best young people in the world are attending here. Harding is not the physical facilities nor the academic prowess alone, but is made up of caring individuals working side by side to make a difference in the world." Dr. James F. Carr, Jr. has completed 15 years serving as Assistant to the President. He came to Harding in 1970 and served as assistant dean of the college for two years before being appointed to his present position . Although he retired from full-time work in 1983, Carr has been quite active and has been a great asset due to his public relations and administrative expertise. David Crouch has been at Harding 18 years and held several positions before he was appointed Director of Public Relations. He felt that the integration of faith and learning was the one distinguishing factor that set Harding apart from other schools. "The Harding experience provides a spiritual dimension to education.

Serving as Director of Devel - opment, Alvin Fowler planned fund-raising efforts and was responsible for developing and maintaining good relations with off-campus leadership. Fowler graduated from Harding in 1968 with a degree in Business and Accounting. Although he does not teach, he finds it a blessing to be involved in the support of Christian education. "We are different by design - our commitment to the spiritual development of each student sets us apart from other good schools and compels many to support our work. " Wyatt Jones, a Harding alumnus, has been serving at Harding for 13 years. He holds the position of Director of Graduate Studies, which entails administration in the School of Education and teaching graduate and undergraduate classes.
