Leadership – Then and Now

Wark, Homer E.

On February 25, 1931, WVWC President Wark was invited to speak to the Weekly Convocation at West Virginia University on the topic of “The Problem of Leadership”. Here is a summary of that speech, and a link to the Pharos article about the event. (You should read it! It could have been written today!)

Today we talk a lot about leadership styles, and how they come to be formed. We talk about Liberal Arts education (the kind of education that teaches you to think and learn — not a political ideology). Sometimes it is referred to as a Classical Education. The very first year of existence, the West Virginia Conference Seminary was strong in this. And has been growing stronger ever since as defined by the Association of American Colleges & Universities. We now blend Liberal Arts Education with our professional programs to help students to be true leaders in their fields. The best of both!
