- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:01), a recognition of the Board of Trustees for this Founder’s Day Address (03:02-07:24), and a word of resignation from the chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as his introduction of the speaker, Dr. John Edward Steely, Associate Professor of Historical Theology (07:25-11:03). The choir sings “When I Survey the Wond’rous Cross” as the anthem of SEBTS (11:04-14:48) before Dr. Steely begins his address, covering personal counsel concerning the history of SEBTS over the previous 10 years from its inception to the present (14:49-16:23). The faculty began with only 4 members and a student body of 101 members, growing by the end of 10 years to a faculty of 30 members and a student body of over 700 members (16:24-17:03). Steely speaks to the efforts of the future historian who will write down this seminary’s history (17:04-23:08). He then speaks of the seminary’s emphases in pursuit of its objectives (23:09-23:55) before speaking about the contributions which over 9,000,000 Southern Baptists have supported through their cooperative giving (23:56-27:54). Dr. Steely then desires that everyone present would, with him, reaffirm their seminarial commitments to the purposes of Jesus Christ (27:55-29:12). Next, he mentions those advancements and doors of opportunity which have opened to the seminary during the second half of the decade, adding the need to live the Christian life to bear witness to Jesus Christ (29:13-33:41) so that the seminary will not fail to complete its task in educating ministers of the gospel (33:42-36:40). President Stealey closed the service with the singing of the seminary hymn (36:41-41:41), prayer (41:42-44:39), and closing song (44:40-46:51).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Isaiah 55:1-2 (00:00-00:38), prayer (00:47-03:37), and the reading of 2 Peter 1:1-11 (03:48-06:00). No introduction was given for Thomas Albert Bland, but he was Associate Professor of Christian Sociology and Ethics. He begins by talking about the importance of the “frontier” in American history, taking note of the race for space but placing importance on the frontier of the inner man (06:01-08:13). Bland says that Peter, in this text, focuses on Faith’s Frontier, identifying seven qualities of life which are to be added to one’s faith; he was not academic but practical, having been personally impacted by the life and ministry of Jesus Christ (08:14-11:37). Bland then continues walking through the list mentioned in the text one item at a time, building upon the foundation of faith. He notes that faith and knowledge go together, so long as knowledge has self-control so that it does not puff one up in conceit (11:38-19:06). He ends his time in prayer (19:07-19:46).

Colossians 3:11 is read aloud before Dr. Edwards gives the message (06:03-06:35). Dr. Edwards begins by suggesting that our concept of missions and missionaries is inaccurate. He proceeds to describe personal experiences of his missionary work in Nigeria (06:36-15:23). He emphasizes that there is no difference in death for people regarding different skin color or attire, and he reflects on the understanding Christ has for our sorrows (15:24-17:18:05). He ends in prayer (18:06-19:22).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of John 4:23-24 (00:00-00:28), an announcement (00:29-01:07), and prayer (01:08-02:36). Dr. Trotter introduces the speaker, the Reverend Allen Douglas Aldrich, who was the pastor of Forest Hills Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC (02:37-04:17). His message centers on Matthew 6:28. He begins his message by drawing attention to the growing edge of God’s hand which our lives must be subject to (04:18-13:02). The growth of our lives is determined by the vitality of our daily experience of prayer (13:03-14:25), on the basis of the tone of the thoughts on which we feed our lives (14:26-15:31), and by our involvement in relationships through the Church (15:32-18:30). When the growth happens, there is a gradual unfolding of the unique nature of what is growing; this growth cannot happen unless there is death, focusing us on the cross of Christ (18:31-22:41). He ends in prayer (22:42-23:43).

- Description:
- The service begins with a reading (00:00-00:53) and a prayer (00:54-05:04). Another short prayer follows by John E. Davis (05:05-05:22). No introduction was given for the speaker, John E. Davis, but he was a student at SEBTS. He outlines two presuppositions of seminary education (05:23-06:02). First, the questions we are raising at SEBTS are but hollow and intellectual gymnastics if they are foreign to the common man’s questions (06:03-13:49). Second, the gospel is a totally consuming dynamic and not a moral philosophy nor a legal code (13:50-23:53). He quotes Philippians 3:12-16 (23:54-24:46), and he ends his time in prayer (24:47-25:24).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of Psalm 65:4 (00:00-00:20) and prayer (00:21-02:32). Dr. Lovelace introduces the speaker, John T. Bunn, who was the Chairman of the Bible Department at Campbell College in North Carolina (02:33-03:16). He begins by reading Luke 4:16-19 (03:17-04:39). He transitions to speak about the internal weakness of many modern churches and their revitalization through “unlimited substitution” (04:40-09:20). This has come to be because plans, promotions, and organizations have been the exclusive tools for such a revitalization rather than the proclamation of the Word of God from the pulpit (09:21-11:52). The proper place of preaching for the minister and in the life of the church is discussed next (11:53-21:22). He then answers the question, “What will be our primary task or the center of our attention in ministry?” (21:23-26:25). He ends his time in prayer (26:26-27:37).
