Note:  Some 1,400 students have come through this poverty course in the 34 years that Dr Van Til has been teaching it. I'm sure that many of the Camden area's leaders in social justice and charity work have sat in this room. We wish Dr Van Til all the best of success and happiness as, after an uncoming sabbatical, he moves on to the next phase of his career, making himself valuably useful internationally in the field of nongovernmental organization.
