Speaker(s): Fred G. Holloway |
Description: A perspective given by the president of Drew University. Fred Garrigus Holloway (1898-1988) was the 7th president of the university and served from 1948-1960. He graduated from Western Maryland College in 1918 and received a B.A. from Drew in 1921. Holloway had been both professor of Biblical languages and president at Westminster Theological Seminary, as well as president of Western Maryland College, before being chosen as dean of the Drew Theological Seminary in 1947. Just one year later, upon President Ayres Brown's retirement, Holloway was offered the presidency. Renovating and rebuilding the antiquated campus, a goal for two previous presidents, is Holloway's greatest legacy. Like some of his predecessors, Holloway was later elected a Methodist bishop. He was made bishop in the West Virginia area in 1960. | Length: 40:37 | Recording Date: 3/20/1957 | Recorded at: Drew Seminary, Madison, New Jersey |
