Description
Quest for Distinction: Pepperdine University in the 20th Century chronicles Pepperdine's fascinating history, from its founding as a small faith-based college in 1937 to its emergence as a top-tier university at the turn of the century. Renowned historian and Seaver College Dean Emeritus W. David Baird brings to life the remarkable men and women who guided the school's growth. He reveals the attributes that made Pepperdine a distinctive institution, and he recounts the University's search for identity as it endeavored to achieve its founder’s dual goals of academic excellence and a commitment to a Christian mission.
