Development of Personality at College Chapel Address
The opening chapel service at H645 featured President Crooks delivering a lesson on "Development of Personality." He argued personality is the inner life’s intangible quality that lifts a person, not mere physical stature or beauty, and cited historical figures to show greatness can arise from modest traits.
