Description

He came to Lipscomb in 1941 to study medicine. But after years as a paratrooper in World War II, he returned in 1946 to study something he loved − music. Graduating in 1948, he stayed at Lipscomb as choral director, and in 1976 became drama program director. While perhaps best remembered for leading daily chapel, singing, his influence was far greater as he redefined excellence for his students and drew from them latent talents that became remarkable skills. Most importantly, generations of students gained an appreciation for communing with the Lord in worship they would not have had without the loving guidance of Buddy Arnold.
