Ninth Era: 1988-1996
The University Under the Board of Directors
With Lao’s death, May 5th, 1988, the University entered its next
era, under the leadership of Lao Russell’s Board of Directors,
introduced with the University’s World Balance Conference of 1989. In
that decade, the Home Study Course and books continued to inspire
students around the world; Chief Melford Okilo wrote his books on the
principles of Balance and continued extension of the work in Africa, as
well as delivering a Letter to World Leaders at the United Nations;
research into the applicability of Walter Russell’s scientific concepts
was carried out by President Timothy Binder; publication of further of
the Russells’ writings was continued by Emilia Lee Lombardi; and
students gathered regularly at Swannanoa for seminars and the annual
Homecoming.
“Mediocrity is self-inflicted; genius is self-bestowed.”
