H. A. Dixon's Classes at the U of Alabama

In 1988, Louise Cowan Dixon, widow of H. A. Dixon, told me that when her husband first began offering Bible courses for credit at the University of Alabama, a number of students figured these would be "crip courses," very easy classes one could take in order to raise a lagging grade point average. But they were in for a surprise. It turned out, you had to work for a good grade in a Bible class with H. A. Dixon. It wasn't an easy A.
