Summer Conference 1919 and 1920 on the Sunset Knoll

I bought this postcard online a few days ago and just received it in the mail today. It is the Summer Conference of 1919 on the Sunset Knoll. It must have been sold in 1920 to that Summer Conference group because a lady by the name of Maida, I believe this is the name, wrote to her friend Lizzie on May 23, 1920. She mentions that William R. Moody spoke that day. It is a great piece of history. Enjoy the image. Any stories about Summer Conferences? Did you or anyone you knew accept Christ at one?

Considering writing down some memories about your time at PBTS? Here are a few starting questions to get the ball rolling

1. How did you hear about PBTS? (Did you hear Dr. John A. Davis preach? The Students League of Many Nations came to your town? A family member graduated? Pastor was a graduate?)

2. What was your first impression of the campus?

3. Impression of the President [Favorite Memory of them](Dr. John A. Davis, Dr. Gordon Davis, Dr. M.C. Patterson, Dr. Kenneth Robb, Dr. Woodrow Kroll, Dr. Dale Linebaugh, Dr. George Miller III)

4. Roomate(s) and where was the room (Old Main Building, Inner Circle {Mother Memorial}, Patterson Hall, Chatlos, etc.)

5. Favorite Professor and Why (Dr. Lowe, Dr. Wagner, Dr. Brown, Rev. Ackerly, Dr. Benson, etc)

6. Funny stories/Pranks that happened or you did

7. Major events that occurred while there (Dr. John A. Davis passing away, new building, etc)

8. Sports teams/Ministry teams you were involved in

9. Best friends and meeting future spouses (The friends you met in college and the friends that became your husband or wife)

10. How PBTS/PBC/Davis help prepare you for ministry and for life

These are just a few ideas to help get the wheels turning. I hope they help. I would love to hear your stories about your time at the school
