There has always been a special bond between the faculty and student body at Harding. A bond due not only to the school's small size; the members of the faculty strive to promote Christian principles, to set an example for the students and to care about the students on a personal basis. Staff, administrators and their families provided spiritual guidance by opening their homes for Wednesday night Bible study. Others led students spiritually in church services, devotionals and chapel programs. Many instructors opened each class period in prayer to help students keep their focus on God. Every year, professors create relationships with students, some of which lasted for years, and all of which had an impact on the students. It was through these personal relationships that the faculty and their families were able to provide the most guidance. l\1any administrators and faculty members invited students into their homes on a regular basis. Others were always around campus to support, influence and assist. In spite of long hours and increased enrollment, Harding's staff was always able to provide endless guidance. -Shannon Romine and Melydia Clewell Academics Editors HOME RUN.
