Theoretically, if I ever decided to visit HAC and attend a chapel service and perhaps walk around the campus and brought my wife who would be wearing slacks, would she/we be welcomed? I'm sure this has happened in the past to someone. And I state again, this is a theoretical question, because I...

Does anyone know how I might be able to look at or get a HAC student manual? When I think back all of those years, I have forgotten all the rules we had. I just think it might be amusing to review what was once the law of the land... I can't believe that I did all of that, ever.

I realize that there are many opinions about Jack Hyles put forth on this board. Today marks the 25th anniversary of his death. He left an indelible mark on my life. I mean, I'm talking about him today, 45 years after I left the place. So, there's that. I wish I hadn't gone to HAC. I likely...

Things have been very quiet of this board for some time, but I hope that everyone is healthy and that you have a wonderful holiday season as we take time to be thankful for the coming of the Savior to earth. I wish He would return today! Merry Christmas to all!

Within the last week, I have seen where Toby Weaver and Pete Cowling have had hospital stays. While I am unsure of the nature of the treatments they have received, I wish them well. I always like Bro. Weaver, who I believe is 79 now. I really didn't know Dr. Cowling and never had a class with him.

For all the chatter about "discipline" at HAC, I really don't know many people who got expelled when I was there decades ago. There were a couple over doctrinal stuff in 76-77. I can remember one girl and guy that got expelled (allegedly) for being too intimate in about 1980. But that's about...

This is a subject I've seen posted several times. I made an observation that hard numbers from the church or college were always hard to get. I'm not sure why, but others have agreed with me. However, I came across a page in the 1983 yearbook, wherein it is stated that in 1982 2,272 students...

He was a teacher at HAC in the seventies. I think he may have been raised at FBC. He was a fairly young guy, but I have no idea where he ended up in the eighties and beyond.

I just found this in the Hyles Anderson College Doctrinal Statement in 1977 - “Scriptures: The Bible, including the Old and New Testaments in the original autographs is the inerrant, infallible, and inspired Word of God. The Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and...

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...

My neighborhood throws a big block party tonight. We do it every Halloween. It's an extremely safe neighborhood and the kids still go Trick or Treating door to door with their costumes on. I will see princesses, pirates and all sorts of garb when the sun goes down this evening. I may even put on...

It was about 1980, so I was over 21 years old. I was working in a plant in East Chicago and I had a revolver that I wanted to sell to a co-worker. We met in the parking lot and the guy examined it and decided he wanted to buy it. While making the transaction, an anonymous classmate of mine who...

I remember my days at HAC, mostly in the latter 70s as an introduction to many songs that were congregationally sung in chapel that I had never heard before. I haven't heard them since either. Back then, I actually thought Dr. Evans' song leading was a bit strange, but then a friend of mine...

I've been away from the IFB stuff for many years. Are there still churches trying to utilize the bus ministry that way they were 45-50 years ago? I know FBC still runs buses. What percentage of buses are they running from the peak -- whenever that was? I really do not know of a church remotely...

What was your most fulfilling time at HAC? What made it so? Mine was in my junior year, I worked on the blind bus with a guy named Alan Stewart. I forget how we cultivated the bus route but we went over a lot of Chicago and picked up the blind members and took them home afterwards. One that I...

First, this memory is very fuzzy, so I may have it wrong... Does anyone remember back in the seventies an event where a security guard made up a story of getting assaulted and knocked out one night (or early morning) on campus and and then these supposed terrorists set the bridge at the lake on...

I'm new here. Has anyone ever seen any students, say of the most recent decade (2014-2024) participate on this forum? I am curious as to the state of mind of today's HAC student. I wonder if their experience is similar to what we encountered in the 70's, 80's or 90's? If not, how so?
