The College Shield

The Eastern Nazarene College (or ENC) is a college of the liberal arts and sciences in Quincy, Massachusetts of the United States. First chartered as the Eastern Nazarene College in 1918, it was originally established in 1900 as a collegiate institute in Saratoga Springs, New York.

The college is co-educational, primarily undergraduate, and mostly residential. The main campus and arboretum, situated on land once belonging to the Quincy family, is located near Quincy Bay, six miles (10 km) south of downtown Boston. The college has been there since 1919, following a move from North Scituate, Rhode Island. There is a second campus in Quincy and satellite campuses throughout eastern Massachusetts.

Officially sponsored by the Church of the Nazarene, the college is historically interdenominational and makes no religious requirements of its students, who instead adhere to a set of community lifestyle guidelines. Faculty members, however, are required to be Christian and be active in a local church congregation. The college is known for a blend of faith and academe, in its curriculum and among its faculty.

[edit] History

[edit] New York

On September 25, 1900, members of the Association of Pentecostal Churches of America, an aggregate of several holiness churches from eastern Canada down to the Middle Atlantic that had split from the Methodist Episcopal Church, opened a co-educational collegiate institute at the Garden View House in Saratoga Springs, New York. It was named the Pentecostal Collegiate Institute (PCI) and Biblical Seminary and established for the purpose of providing Christian education and training in an academy, college, and seminary.[1] At the time, pentecostal did not hold the same meaning as it does today, but rather served as a synonym for "holiness".[2] It was operated under the auspices of the association and its own board of education,[3] who felt the need for such a school because, just as they felt their former denominational affiliations had been inadequate, so were the schools affiliated with those denominations.[4] The school was even given state funding for secondary school students because a public school did not exist there at the time.[1] The institute changed locations in Saratoga Springs in 1901, from the Garden View House to the former Kenmore Hotel.[5]

[edit] Rhode Island

In 1902, the Pentecostal Collegiate Institute moved to the former site of the closed Lapham Institute in North Scituate, a village roughly 10 miles (16 km) west of Providence, Rhode Island,[6] as the result of a dispute between its first president, Lyman C. Pettit, and the educational committee of the Association of Pentecostal Churches of America. Pettit thought it appropriate and necessary to remove the institute from the auspices of the association, that "human machinery" was "contrary to aggressive holiness" and felt himself accountable "only to God."[7] The association, however, simply wished to subject the president and administration to some regulation and financial accounting procedures. Pettit, who owned the land on which the institute was situated, refused to work with the committee.[8]

The association relocated PCI, incorporated it, dropped the post-secondary curriculum to become purely college preparatory, and rediscovered a principal in William F. Albrecht.[9] Having been the originator of the idea for the institute and having already surveyed the North Scituate location,[10] Fred A. Hillery purchased the new campus in Rhode Island on behalf of the committee for $4,500 and negotiated a mortgage for $3,000.[11] The campus and its Greek Revival buildings were originally designed for the Smithville Seminary in 1839 by Russell Warren, the leading Greek Revival architect in New England in the 19th century,[12] but had been unused since the Lapham Institute closed in 1876. Pettit continued to run a school of his own in Saratoga Springs, but it only lasted one more year before closing,[13] after which he became a Presbyterian minister.[14]

Pentecostal Collegiate Institute at the Rhode Island campus, c. 1905

Attendance became multi-denominational after the school's move to Rhode Island in 1902, only one-quarter to one-third of the student body being affiliated with the school's supporting denomination during any given academic year,[15] much like the enrollment reported for 2006.[16] Historian James Cameron references close relationships with the Reformed Baptist denomination in his history of ENC, including commencement ceremonies held at the local Baptist church in North Scituate.[17] In 1906, the Association of Pentecostal Churches of America began talks with the Church of the Nazarene to form a coast-to-coast "Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene", a merge which would officially take place in 1907.[18] In 1919, the Church of the Nazarene would drop "Pentecostal" from the name,[19] however, as it became increasingly associated with pentecostalism, particularly congregations requiring glossolalia as demonstration of faith, in the 20th century.[20]

On June 14, 1918, the Eastern Nazarene College was chartered and a liberal arts college curriculum added,[21] while secondary education remained through 1955 as the Eastern Nazarene Academy.[22] In anticipation of re-adding college-level work to the curriculum, the school had also hired J. E. L. Moore from the Central Nazarene College as principal, with the intention of making him the first president of the new college.[23] Choosing a new name, however, had been difficult; it could include neither "pentecostal" nor "collegiate institute" because the school was now a liberal arts college and a Nazarene institution. Candidates included: "Northeastern Nazarene College", "Bresee Memorial College", "Nazarene College of the Northeast", and "Nazarene College and Bresee Theological Institute". General Superintendent John W. Goodwin can be credited with the chosen name, as he wrote to Hiram F. Reynolds, also a general superintendent and a long-time supporter of the school: "I know you will do your best for our New England College. I should be glad if they would change the name to the Eastern Nazarene College, or something like that. It would seem we must have a school there, although it moves along hard and slow."[21]

[edit] Massachusetts

Canterbury Hall (1901), purchased by the college in 1919 and the oldest surviving building on the campus at Wollaston Park

In 1919, the college moved to its current location in the Wollaston Park area of Quincy, Massachusetts. The founders wanted the new college to be located near either Harvard or Yale for its graduates to attend graduate school at one or the other, and Quincy won out over New Haven, Connecticut because the educational standards were known to be higher in Massachusetts.[24] At the time of its purchase, the 12-acre (49,000 m2) property consisted of the Josiah Quincy Mansion (1848), a summer mansion built by the fourth Josiah Quincy (1802-1882)[25] where Angell Hall now stands, a classroom building called the Manchester (1896), the stables (1848) on the site where Memorial Hall was built in 1948, and the Canterbury (1901), which is now Canterbury Hall. From the captain's walk of the mansion, Wollaston Bay was clearly visible down to the "ships entering and leaving the port of Boston."[26] The former Rhode Island campus was purchased in 1920 by Reverend William S. Holland, who moved his Watchman Institute there in 1923.

The trustees of the college were incorporated by the state in 1920,[27] but it took 11 years after the move to Massachusetts for ENC to gain degree-granting power from the commonwealth.[28] The state Board of Education was unimpressed by Eastern Nazarene, but President Floyd W. Nease appealed to the authority-granting body itself, the General Court of Massachusetts. The college defended its petition before the Joint Committee on Education and the House and Senate on January 28, 1930, calling on financial records, campus improvement plans, and prominent community leaders: the bill passed in both houses and was signed by Governor Frank G. Allen on March 12, 1930.[29] The college seal, designed by alumnus Harold G. Gardner, was adopted by the trustees on the recommendation of the president and the student body in 1932.[30] It symbolically incorporated the college motto,[30] in large part from Jesus' words[31] as well as the statement from PCI natural science professor Jesse B. Mowry in 1903 that, "Yea, the Truth points the Way and the Life, and these three determine man's destiny!"[32] President R. Wayne Gardner also secured certification for the college as a teacher-training institution with the Massachusetts Department of Education in 1933.[33] Under President Gideon B. Williamson, the Eastern Nazarene College gained accreditation by the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.[34] Eastern Nazarene was known to local residents as "Our Quincy's College," coined by the Quincy Patriot Ledger,[35] until the members of ENC's history department faculty created Quincy Junior College, the local community college, in 1958.[36] The first graduate program, a master's degree in religion, was started in the early 1960s.[37]

The college name and shield on the Adams Executive Center at the Old Colony Campus

Under President Irwin in 1979, there arose plans to relocate the college to a 125-acre (510,000 m2) parcel of land[38] in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, by purchasing the faltering Charles E. Ellis School for Fatherless Girls. The proposed move was very unpopular among students and members of the Quincy community, but the relocation never took place because the college was outbid for the land by a major corporation, which established an industrial park there.[39][40] In 1981, graduate degree offerings were expanded,[37] and an accelerated program for working adults was started in 1990.[41] In 1991, a report issued by the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities in Massachusetts (AICUM)[42] determined that the college contributed nearly $10 million to the local economy and brought in an estimated $7 million from outside the state.[43] In 1997, Eastern Nazarene started a learning annex in central Massachusetts to serve as part of its adult studies division.[44] In that same year, the college acquired buildings originally owned by Howard Johnson's and renovated them for classroom and office space. The campus is known as the Old Colony Campus, as it is located on Old Colony Avenue in Quincy. It houses the Adams Executive Center, including the James R. Cameron Center for History, Law, & Government, founded in 2005, and the Cecil R. Paul Center for Business, founded in 1999.[45] In 2008, ENC established satellite campuses throughout eastern Massachusetts.[46]

[edit] Campus

[edit] Wollaston Park

The college campus is also home to the Babcock Arboretum.

The 15-acre (61,000 m2)[25] main campus of the Eastern Nazarene College has 17 buildings[47] and is situated in the Wollaston Park neighborhood of Quincy, Massachusetts. The Wollaston Park campus is roughly 1.5 miles (2.5 km) southeast from the Boston city line and six miles (10 km) south of downtown Boston,[48] just over a mile (1.8 km) north of Quincy Center, half a mile (0.8 km) northeast of the Wollaston T station,[49] and a quarter-mile (0.5 km) southwest from Wollaston Beach. As it became one of Boston's first commuter neighborhoods, the Mount Wollaston land once belonging to the Quincy family was broken up into prestigious building lots and named Wollaston Park during in the late 19th century,[50] and the area remains primarily residential. ENC purchased the Wollaston Park property, then a 12-acre (49,000 m2) parcel, from the former Quincy Mansion School for Girls for $50,000 in 1919,[24] and has added to it over the years. The campus is also a registered arboretum, named the Babcock Arboretum after Vernor J. Babcock and dedicated in 1993.[50] The alma mater, with lyrics written by former president Edward S. Mann, not only refers to Quincy Bay but also the existence of the elm trees for which Elm Avenue was named,[51] all of which died with the onset of Dutch elm disease in the early to mid-20th century.

The Quincy Mansion (1848) was demolished in 1969. It was once part of the Quincy family homestead along with the Dorothy Quincy House and the Josiah Quincy House, on a 200-acre (0.81 km2) parcel of land known as the "Lower Farm". The mansion itself was situated on the land where Angell Hall now stands, and was the summer home of Josiah Quincy, Jr., then mayor of Boston. It was three stories and white, in Georgian architecture, with marble fireplaces in most of the rooms and large French windows on the first floor that "opened upon either little balconies or broad piazzas."[26] Elm Avenue had been the avenue, or driveway, for the two mansions on the property.[50] The first of the two, the Josiah Quincy House (1770), still stands on Muirhead Street.

Gardner Hall (1930), the administration building designed by Wesley Angell

Both Gardner Hall (1930), originally named the Fowler Memorial Administration Building after Charles J. Fowler, and the original Floyd W. Nease Library (1953), now the Bower-Grimshaw Center for Institutional Advancement, were designed by Wesley Angell. Gardner Hall was designed in the Classical or Colonial Revival mode. Gardner is brick, three stories on a high granite basement, and capped by a parapet balustraded in the center. Corners are articulated with brick quoins. The fenestration is symmetric with double sash windows at regular intervals, trimmed in white, topped with flared brick lintels and a white keystone. It also features a two-story balustraded Doric portico of fluted cast stone columns. The portico is the backdrop for commencement ceremonies. The main entrance, at the end of wide stairs, is pilastered and topped with a bracketed entablature, which frames an arched glass opening. The side elevations have projecting stair towers, which indicate the site of a central hall running the length of the building. Originally rectangular in form, the 1953 addition of the then-Nease Library in the rear bestowed upon it a T-configuration.[52]

Memorial Hall (1948) stands as a memorial to those who served and died in the Second World War.

Memorial Hall (1948) holds the distinction of the only building on campus, other than the pre-existing Canterbury Hall (1901), not to be named for any one individual. Rather, it was built as a memorial to those who had served in the Second World War. Over two hundred alumni had served, and six students had given their lives.[53]

[edit] Old Colony and other locations

The 6-acre (24,000 m2) Old Colony campus, named for its location on Old Colony Avenue in Quincy, has two buildings. The building at 162 Old Colony houses the college archives and offices for the history department as part of the James R. Cameron Center for History, Law, and Government, established in 2005, as well as separate offices for mathematics, and physics and engineering departments, and the Campus Kinder Haus (CKH), an early childhood education center.[54] The 180 building is the Adams Executive Center, which houses the business department in the Cecil R. Paul Center for Business, established in 1999.[55] The buildings were once the Howard Johnson's candy factory and executive offices, purchased and renovated by Eastern Nazarene in 1997.[45]

In 2008, Eastern Nazarene established satellite campuses in Boston, Brockton, Fall River, and Swansea, Massachusetts.[46] The college also established a learning annex called the Auburn Learning Center in Auburn, Massachusetts in 1997 to function as part of the Leadership Education for Adults Division.[44]

[edit] Religious affiliation

Founded under the auspices of the Association of Pentecostal Churches of America in 1900 as the Penecostal Collegiate Institute (PCI), the Eastern Nazarene College was one of the first three colleges to become an "official" Nazarene school in 1908,[56] but has been multi-denominational since 1902[15] and reaffirmed its interdenominational character in 1931.[57] As one of eight U.S. liberal arts colleges[58] affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene,[59] the Nazarene college receives financial backing from the Nazarene churches of its educational region; part of each church budget is paid into a fund for its regional school, which is roughly equivalent to a $40 million endowment.[60] The institution is otherwise largely tuition-driven with an actual endowment of only US $11,015,937.[61]

ENC is the college for the Eastern Region of the United States,[62] hence it is the Eastern Nazarene College and has been referred to as the Eastern Nazarene College.[21][63] The Eastern USA Region includes Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and a small portion of West Virginia, which comprise the Maine, New England, Upstate New York, Metro New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Mid-Atlantic (formerly Washington), and Virginia Districts of the Church of the Nazarene. When the boundaries were first established in 1918, the region included Maritime and Canada-Central, New England, New York, Pittsburgh, Ohio, Washington-Philadelphia, and Virginia.[64] Canada was restructured in 1960 and allocated to an all-Canadian Educational Zone for Canadian Nazarene College.[65] By 1970, another restructuring in 1968 (with the founding of Mount Vernon Nazarene College) resulted in an enrollment drop at Eastern Nazarene.[66] Each college is bound by a gentlemen's agreement not to actively recruit outside its respective region.[67]

[edit] Academic associations

Eastern Nazarene has been fully accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC),[68] the oldest regional accrediting body in the United States, since 1943.[69] Social work has been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education since 1979,[70] and teacher education has been recognized by the Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts since 1933.[33] Teacher education at the college is also approved by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, and the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education. The teacher education program also benefits from the Interstate Certification Compact for all teacher education programs, allowing education students to teach in 44 states and Washington, D.C.[71][72] Eastern Nazarene has been a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) since 1982[73] and is also a member of the American Council on Education (ACE), the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC), the NAFSA: Association of International Educators,[74] and the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU).[75]

[edit] Academics

According to Bertha Munro, a graduate of Radcliffe College and Harvard University, academic dean at the Eastern Nazarene College from 1923 to 1957, and one of Eastern Nazarene's most influential figures, ENC exists with the idea in mind that one can be a Christian and a scholar,[76] a philosophy echoed by anti-fundamentalist Christian intellectuals like Karl Giberson and Francis S. Collins. Eastern Nazarene has required that its faculty members be "committed Christians" since 1992 under president Kent Hill, a move that initially stirred some controversy in the media but was deemed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to be within the rights of the college to mandate.[77] The school currently has three college divisions: the Traditional Undergraduate Division, the Adult Studies Undergraduate Division (often called the Leadership Education for Adults Division, or LEAD), and the Graduate Division.[74] There were 1,075 students enrolled at the college in 2007, 927 of whom were undergraduate and 148 of whom were graduate students.[78] The 2007 acceptance rate for students who applied to the college was 61.7 percent.[61]

[edit] Traditional Undergraduate Division

As at any four-year college, most degree offerings at Eastern Nazarene are baccalaureate degrees. In the Traditional Undergraduate Division, the college offers associate's and bachelor's (bachelor of arts and bachelor of science) liberal arts degrees in 50 majors, with 57 minors and 6 pre-professional programs for a combined total of 80 programs of study, including a co-operative mechanical engineering program with Boston University and dual degree pharmacy programs with Northeastern University and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.[74] The college uses a "4-1-4 system"[61] for its academic year: there are two full semesters in the Fall and Spring, each roughly four months long, and a one-month term in January known as "J Term". Eastern Nazarene emphasizes a blend of faith and other pursuits, from biology[79] to business.[80] The Cultural Perspectives core curriculum at Eastern Nazarene is distinctive; the sequence comprises a series of interdisciplinary courses on Western culture and encourages students to ponder the "tensions and possibilities" that exist in the relationship between the Christian faith and societal values.[37] All faculty members are required to be professing Christians, many are ENC alumni,[81] and the traditional undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio at Eastern Nazarene is 15:1. In addition to co-operative programs and internship opportunities around Boston, Eastern Nazarene provides a number of study abroad and off-campus study programs at 56 Nazarene institutions of higher education around the world. Students may also participate in the "Best Semester"[82] program, facilitated by the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), of which Eastern Nazarene is a member. ENC also offers a semester-long study program in Romania.[37] Eastern Nazarene College graduates have a 94 percent acceptance rate into medical school and a 100 percent acceptance rate into law school.[83][84]

[edit] Graduate Division and LEAD

In addition to traditional undergraduate education, the college offers continuing education for working adults through the Leadership Education for Adults Division (LEAD). Accelerated programs have been in place since 1990,[41] and now include bachelor's degree completion (bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees) and associate's degrees (the associate of arts degree) as well as certificates in paralegal studies (CPS) and human resource management (CHRM).[85] The college also maintains 2+2 programs and articulation agreements with junior colleges in the surrounding geographical area, like the agreements with Bristol, Massasoit, and Roxbury Community Colleges.[46][86]

Current graduate offerings from the Graduate Division are primarily master's degrees (master of science and master of education).[85] Eastern Nazarene first offered a master's degree in religion in 1964, and added master's degrees in business, education, and psychology in 1981.[37]

[edit] Student life

The John Templeton Foundation has cited the Eastern Nazarene College as one that builds character.[87] In 2006, students from 21 countries and 31 U.S. states were attending Eastern Nazarene.[16] ENC is 24 percent ethnically diverse,[84] and black student enrollment rose from 4.9 to 15 percent between 1997 and 2007.[88] The college is supported by the Church of the Nazarene but is historically "interdenominational in character and cosmopolitan in service,"[57] and makes no religious requirements of its students, who instead adhere to community lifestyle guidelines. In 2006, undergraduate students at ENC were affiliated with at least 29 different Christian denominations (the largest representations being Nazarene, Baptist, Catholic, and non-denominational), while 35 percent of the student population had no reported denominational or religious affiliation.[16] Eastern Nazarene has always been co-educational, and most of the traditional undergraduate population lives on campus.[89]

[edit] Residential life

Students live in single-sex residence halls with visitation hours throughout the week. There are three female dormitories (Spangenberg Hall, Williamson Hall, and Munro Hall) and two male dormitories (Memorial Hall and Shields Hall). Young Hall provides apartments for staff and married students, in addition to suites for upperclassman females and males. Each dormitory houses a common area, known as a parlor, where students of both sexes are welcome. Student use these parlors extensively for social events and study groups during the week. Chapel services for undergraduate students, which are 40 minutes long,[90] are offered on Wednesdays and Fridays.[91] Attendance for most chapels is required for most undergraduates.[92] The services take place in the Wollaston Church of the Nazarene, located on the corner of East Elm Avenue and Wendell Avenue, adjacent to the campus of the college. The Mann Student Center houses The Commons for sit-down meals cafeteria-style, as well as The Dugout for meals in a café-type atmosphere. The latter is a popular location for social gathering, as is the adjacent "Colonel's Coffee House", which, ironically, is not a place where coffee is served.

The Mann Student Center, named for Edward S. Mann (President 1948-1970)

No student is required to be Christian to attend the Eastern Nazarene College, though all students are asked "to honor God and Biblical principles."[93] Each traditional undergraduate student, upon registering, also agrees to what is called a Lifestyle Covenant: to, among other things, "abstain from the use of illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and to avoid attendance at bars, clubs, or other activities or places of entertainment that promote themes of inappropriate sexuality, violence, profanity, pornography or activities demeaning to human life."[94] The Student Handbook further specifies that "No person shall engage in sexual acts with anyone other than a spouse,"[95] that "[e]xcessive public display of affection is unacceptable",[96] and that "[t]he College believes that dressing modestly supports our life in community by helping to minimize possible discomfort caused others due to inappropriate attire."[97] "Theatergoing" was on the school's list of forbidden activities until 1980,[98] but the college now hosts a prominent student theater organization,[99][100] and the current guidelines merely note that students are encouraged to "evaluate critically all forms of literature, music, media, and other forms of entertainment and to abstain from supporting those that promote themes of violence, profanity, pornography, or activities demeaning human life." Many Christian denominations and colleges uphold these ideals,[37][101] but, the Lifestyle Covenant has nevertheless attracted some criticism and stirred controversy, with some guidelines referred to as "relics from another era."[98][102]

[edit] Extracurriculars

There are no fraternities or sororities on campus, but there are Greek "societies". Until 2002, there were four societies based on intramural sports competition, which included the "Kappa Cougars", the "Sigma Stallions", and the "Zeta Warriors". New societies were formed in 2007 and originally numbered eight but were reduced to four again in 2008. Current membership is primarily based on residency, but includes faculty and staff.

There has been an Honors Scholar Society since 1936,[103] and there are various national honors societies (Phi Alpha Theta for history majors, Phi Delta Lambda for Nazarene scholars,[104] Psi Chi for psychology majors, etc.). Students participate in the Student Government Association (SGA), Class Council, academic clubs (Biology Club, History Club, etc.), and club sports. The student-run newspaper is the Campus Camera, regularly published since 1936, and the student-developed yearbook is the Nautilus, since 1922.[105] There are vocal and instrumental ensembles, including the A Cappella Choir,[106] which was formed in 1938,[107] and Chamber Singers, Gospel Choir, Symphonic Winds, and Jazz Band, among several others. The college also has a student theatre organization.[99][100] There exist both campus-oriented and community-oriented ministries like as "Open Hand, Open Heart", which ministers to the homeless of Boston by providing food, clothing, and blankets.[108] In addition to its study abroad programs, ENC also provides missions opportunities through a program known as "Fusion".[109]

Intramural sports take place year-round and change from season to season based on student interest (past sports have included lacrosse, field hockey, and men's volleyball). These and other campus sports, such as J-Term basketball, men's wrestling, men's football, powder puff football, and indoor soccer, are organized by the Student Government Association's (SGA) Rec. Life director.[110] Varsity sports are National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III, the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC),[111] and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).[112] Along with NNU, ENC is one of only two Nazarene colleges to compete in the NCAA. Men's varsity sports include baseball, basketball, cross-country, soccer, and tennis. Women's sports include basketball, cross-country, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball. When NAIA-affiliated[113] and a participant in the basketball tournament hosted by The King's College at Briarcliff Manor, New York, Eastern Nazarene regularly won championships;[114] the college now tends to place in the lower half of the conference rankings. Intercollegiate athletics at ENC first began in 1959 with wins over Gordon, Curry, and Barrington Colleges in baseball.[115] Eastern Nazarene's athletic nickname is "Lions".[116] From 1959 until 2009, the athletic moniker was "Crusaders".[115] The college colors are red and white.[117] Bradley Field is named in honor of Carroll Bradley, one-time professional baseball player and the first athletic director at Eastern Nazarene.[115] The LaHue Physical Education Center also serves as a clinical site for Northeastern University.[118]

[edit] Notable persons

Eastern Nazarene employs several notable faculty members, some of whom also work at other colleges in Boston, and many alumni return to teach at the college.[81] While many graduates enter the working world as social workers, teachers, and ministers, Eastern Nazarene also has a history of graduating students into Ivy League and other universities for postgraduate education. Particularly strong fields are history and the natural sciences, and alumni boast high acceptance rates into law schools and medical schools.[83][84] The school's alumni publication is the Christian Scholar[119] and the alma mater is set to the tune of "Annie Lisle".

[edit] Notable alumni

Donald A. Yerxa, a history alumnus and faculty member from 1977 to 2009, is director of The Historical Society (THS) at Boston University.
