Christendom College held an Academic Convocation in honor of its 30th Anniversary on September 14, 2007 at 4:00 pm on its Front Royal, Va. campus. The convocation honored the great leaders in Catholic higher education of today, Thomas Aquinas College Founder Dr. Ronald McArthur, Franciscan University’s First Chancellor Fr. Michael Scanlan, and Christendom College Founder Dr. Warren Carroll. Christendom’s Pro Deo et Patria Award for Distinguished Service to God and Country was given to all three men for their tireless and historic work. These are Dr. Carroll's remarks upon reception of the reward.

A convert to Christianity, Warren Carroll was educated at Bates College and received a Doctorate of History from Columbia University. After founding Christendom College in 1977, he served as the College's president until 1985 and then as the chairman of its History Department until his retirement in 2002. He is the author of numerous historical works including The Rise and Fall of the Communist Revolution and his major multi-volume work The History of Christendom.
