Collins, Willard
No full textHe came to Lipscomb during the New Deal and became a Big Deal. During an association of more than 50 years with Lipscomb University, no individual played a more defining role than Willard Collins. His work was vital to the success of the Lipscomb Expansion Program. As vice president he built relationships with students and became the brotherhood‘s best-known and most trusted evangelist. As president, the school regained financial stability and acceptance among alumni, churches of Christ, and the Nashville community. He was the “students president,” but was more-- he was God’s man appointed to do His will in this place.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1041/thumbnail.jp

Gleaves, Ruth
No full textMiss Gleaves came to Lipscomb in 1947 to teach second grade. In 1952, she was appointed dorm supervisor for the college, first in Johnson Hall, then in Fanning Hall. While she expected her young charges to abide by the rules, she was very understanding of their needs, a help in times of crisis, as well as loyal, caring, and selfless. Her intelligence commanded respect, but her infectious laugh helped to give her dorm a pleasant, inviting atmosphere. The same qualities that affected her residents so deeply also endeared her to generations of Lipscomb Lectures guests, whom she served as hostess for 24 years until her retirement following the summer lectures in 1976.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1033/thumbnail.jp
Hanvey, Tom
No full textLipscomb became a household name in gymnastics because of Tom Hanvey. During a 31-year coaching career, his teams posted an 80–16 dual meet record, including several undefeated regular seasons. His teams competed in 17 national championships, and featured 12 All-Americans, including an individual national champion. He was the 1979 NAIA Coach of the Year, and his achievements were recognized by several other organizations. But Coach Hanvey‘s greatest impact was not in competition, but in the lives of individuals. His gentle manner and sincere interest in students were evidenced in numerous ways, and many of his athletes were led to Christ through his warm, encouraging spirit, and example.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1030/thumbnail.jp
