History
The 1956 General Conference of The Methodist Church established the Commission on Christian Higher Education to direct the quadrennial emphasis on higher education. The primary task of the Commission was to strengthen the bonds that bind the institutions of learning to the church, to lead the schools and colleges of the denomination to a thorough commitment to Christian standards and ideals, and to lead the church in an effort to under gird the schools with adequate moral and financial support.
The Commission had several meetings and several sessions with various groups around the denomination. It reported to the 1960 General Conference of its various actions during the quadrennium and plans on how to integrate its suggested program into the work of the Board of Education.
