the "grand vision" for the Wheaton College philosophy department that it would produce 100 graduates who would go on to earn Ph.D.s in philosophy. Several years after Holmes' death, former student Clifford Williams investigated whether that ambition had been achieved; he identified at least 116 of Holmes' former students who had earned doctorates in philosophy. Many of Holmes' former students also pursued advanced study in other fields, such as history, literature, and Biblical studies. Among his notable students are: William Lane Craig, Biola University C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University Jorge J. E. Gracia, SUNY Buffalo Douglas Jacobsen, Messiah University Mark A.
