Arkadelphia, Arkansas
“Ouachita Baptist University is a Christ-centered learning community. Embracing the liberal arts tradition, the university prepares individuals for ongoing intellectual and spiritual growth, lives of meaningful work, and reasoned engagement with the world.”
—Ouachita Baptist University mission statement
The year 2011 marked a century and a quarter of Ouachita’s steadfast commitment to a love of God and a love of learning. This ambitious anniversary project, Ouachita Voices: Celebrating 125 Years of Academic & Christian Excellence, seeks to capture the spirit of the Ouachita experience through the eyewitness reflections of Ouachitonians from across the years.
This book has first-person accounts from Ouachita presidents, faculty members, trustees, alumni and students as well as historical overviews from a trio of resident experts: Dr. Ray Granade, Dr. Hal Bass and Dr. Tom Auffenberg. For many readers, this collection of essays, along with historical and contemporary campus photographs, will be a cherished stroll down memory lane. For others, it hopefully will be an engaging introduction to the 125-year history of Ouachita Baptist University.
Thanks again for your excellent work in helping us produce and publish Ouachita Voices. The book shipment arrived on campus one week before Founders Day which gave us time to plan and prepare for the book’s debut. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the book and have received numerous words of appreciation and affirmation about the project. As I wrote in the introduction, thanks to the Bookhouse team “whose expertise and commitment to excellence helped transform the dream of Ouachita Voices into reality.”
