MEMOIRS BY DR. SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND PRESIDENT EMERITUS

southern end of the new Biola Avenue next to Stage road. I received a call from the secretary of the Planning Commission one day concerning a letter that had been sent to the Planning Commission, requesting the name be changed back to Holder Avenue. I asked the secretary just what that meant, and she said she was a member of the Church of the Open Door and was very friendly toward Biola. She agreed to notify us if there was any need for us to appear before the Planning Commission. Otherwise, we would just let everything stand as it was. Nothing ever came of that request, so we do not know who wanted to change it back, but the name stuck. That is how Biola Avenue came into existence. That was one of the few events in my career here at the school for which I can claim credit.
QUESTION:
HOW WAS THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE DOWNTOWN CAMPUS LOT IMPORTANT IN BIOLA'S HISTORY?
