Description
Dr. Nance was among a core of professors responsible for building Lipscomb’s heritage of excellence in science instruction. He joined the physics faculty in 1956, rising to the rank of professor, and also served as assistant to the president and admissions counselor. He personified excellence yet was noted for his kindness, patience, willingness to help struggling students who wanted to achieve, and his support of Bison athletics. He encouraged students to pursue Christlikeness in his classes and through leadership at Natchez Trace Church of Christ. He was a true “student’s friend.” He retired in 1992, after which he continued to teach as an adjunct professor.
