Description
Personally chosen by David Lipscomb to join the Nashville Bible School Board of Trustees, then to head to the school in 1906, E. A. Elam was more influential on the school’s early days than all except Lipscomb himself. Devoted to preaching, writing, and teaching, he contributed to the Gospel Advocate for 50 years and wrote Elam‘s Notes, a commentary on the Advocate’s Sunday school curriculum. He resigned the presidency in 1913, but the school’s largest gift of that era was given specifically for Elam to teach Bible. He returned in 1922 and taught Bible until he could no longer teach. Funds from the gift were also used to build Elam Hall.
