LANDRUM LEAVELL, LONGTIME SEMINARY PRESIDENT, DIES (SEPTEMBER 29, 2008)

By Vicki Brown
Associated Baptist Press

Landrum Leavell, who led New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary for nearly three decades, died after an extended illness Sept. 26. He was 81.

Leavell was elected the seminary's president in January 1975, and helmed the institution through some of the most turbulent years in the life of its parent denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention.

Although he retired from the post Dec. 31, 1994, Leavell remained on campus as interim president until Dec. 31, 1995, when Chuck Kelley, the current president, succeeded him.
