Description

He came to Lipscomb in 1947 intending to stay only one year. That “one year” lasted until his retirement in 1992. In between, Axel Swang built one of the nation’s finest programs in business administration, particularly in accounting. He taught as many as 20 hours per term with classes in accounting, economics, management business law, and business math. He also preached and served at times as baseball coach and bookstore manager. While developing the business curriculum and building the faculty, his first priority remained focused on the spiritual lives of his students and colleagues, embodying the definition of servant leader in all of his life’s pursuits.
