    Current State of HAC

    I don't think they will ever go the accreditation route. If you look on their website, they call themselves a "bible college". I think for that school to survive, they really should rebrand themselves as "Hyles Anderson Bible College" and re-tool the whole mess. It would require that they...

    Number of students at HAC

    I went to HAC and graduated in 1981. I only went back one time, in the spring of 2001 and went to chapel. It was fairly reminiscent of my days there. Dr. Evans led the singing in Chapel and there was a decent crowd of (I'm sure) over a 1,000. The balcony in the chapel was not used. I saw a good...

    Summer Singing Tour Groups

    Random thoughts. I note that the Summer tour groups are on the road again. I also note that the Spring semester at HAC is now over by May 1. When did that start? I looked on the college website and saw photos of the four singing groups. One thing in particular was a bit surprising about the...

    Number of students at HAC

    Going back to the "Hyles" years, it always confounded me how that you could never get a straight answer on attendance numbers, especially at the college. I think maybe it was because they didn't really want to outright lie, but they wanted to leave the impression that the number was higher than...

    Number of students at HAC

    I think at its apex, the college had in excess of 2,000 students. It is a dying school and for those of us who went decades ago, it's sad.

    Current State of HAC

    I have heard from another person who spoke with Bro. Hyles some years before he died who said essentially the same thing as you stated. I think the knew that Hammond was a dead metro area and that moving south made the most sense. If Jack Schaap had chosen that path, rather than to build the...

    Deaths Of HAC Students

    Even though we were from the same area, she never spoke to me either. Read into that what you will. I knew people who knew her well as a teenager, prior to her enrolling at HAC, who said she hardly spoke a word in high school. Very shy. I guess she really found her place at HAC. I did not...

    Pastors' School 1975 and Others

    1976 Pastor's School marked the event of the very first time I set foot in Hammond. It would turn out to be a pivotal week in my life. It was very cold for this southern boy. I don't believe it was snowing. It was the 200 year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, so Pastor's School...

    The Odd Timing of Jack Hyles

    I don't know the time period you are referencing. I was there almost 50 years ago. Although there would have been obvious theological differences, when I heard him refer to John Wesley or his mother, it was in a positive light.

    Leadership Class?

    I could be wrong about this. It's been decades ago, but I think I took a course called "Leadership" from Max Helton in the 1976-77 academic year. I liked Helton and generally thought he was a competent man and leader. These were the early years of HAC when the staff and faculty were not as...

    Current State of HAC

    When I went to HAC (76-81) I worked at the Union Tank Car Company in East Chicago. I made a very good wage. Because tuition was reasonable and I was earning well, I paid for my college and when I left, I didn't owe anything. I think that it's a shame today that no matter how motivated a student...

    Current State of HAC

    I was putting my youngest through college in 2009. I saw first hand how that the universities seemingly never got the memo that the economy was in a serious downturn, Tuition just kept increasing by leaps and bounds. I do believe that if the universities had some skin in the game of ensuring...
