A gift of 277 books from the personal collection of Calvin B. Rock, former president of Oakwood University, has been added to 海角视频鈥檚 Library. 鈥淒r. Rock was an avid student of history and politics, with a particular interest in the impact of protest and reform,鈥� says Eric Anderson, Director of the Walter C. Center for Adventist History. 鈥淗is gift strengthens what was already a good collection on civil rights and African American History.鈥�

 Rock, who continues to be active in retirement, served the church in variety of roles, ranging from a pastor and evangelist to vice president of the General Conference. An experienced educator, he was president of Oakwood for 14 years and chairman of the board of trustees at Loma Linda University.

 鈥淭hese books will make a difference in students鈥� lives,鈥� says Anderson. 鈥淭hey won鈥檛 just sit on the shelves.鈥� 海角视频 has a strong emphasis on undergraduate research, he adds. 

 Rock has been a speaker in PUC鈥檚 lecture series on civil rights鈥攁n event created in honor of former president Percy Christian and former academic dean John Christian, educators with a life-long commitment to equal opportunity. 

鈥淲e are always grateful for meaningful donations to the PUC Library collection such as this. I have no doubt that PUC students will benefit from the important material these books contain. Having these books physically part of the collection makes it more likely they will be discovered and used.鈥� 鈥� Patrick Benner, PUC Librarian.
