Description
This short, black and white film from 1951, simply titled "Mr. Pepperdine," features George Pepperdine delivering a speech that outlines his Christian vision for the students at Pepperdine College, which he had founded fourteen years earlier. The film begins with a shot of Pepperdine standing on the roof of the Auditorium, surveying the Administration Building and central fountain of the Los Angeles campus while voice-over narration provides an introduction. Narration by Glenn Gooder. Note: Due to the poor quality of the audio, subtitles have been added to Pepperdine's speech by library staff.
