The Crawford Library honors the memory of Dr. Cecil Clement Crawford, who, with Mrs. Helen Crawford, came to Dallas Christian College in August 1967. Dr. Crawford was a scholar, educator, preacher, writer and popular professor during his years at DCC. Before his death in January 1976, Dr. Crawford donated his personal library to the College.
