THE SCHCDOL OF THEOLCDGY an l I l l 1 l Dean of School ol Theology AHVA J. C. BOND, M.A., BD., D.D. A memorable day in the history ot Allred University's School of Theology is September 8, 1855, when the Seventh Day Baptist Education Society met at Leonardsville, New York for the purpose ot establishing a Literary Institution and Theological Seminary. Then, with a definite plan in mind, the members ol this denomination went to work and established an educational institution at Allred maintained by Seventh Day Baptist people, in the belief that a school staffed and supported by its own iaith offered opportunities for better training than could be obtained elsewhere. Lite at the School ot Theology centers in the stately antique Gothic, with its pointed windows and wan- dering halls. Here the vital business ot studying, living and worshipping is maintained. The hub of student lite is the library which contains some three thousand volumes. One of the most outstanding features ot the School ot Theology is its friendliness to the public. The doors of the Gothic have never been locked. The books in the Library are available to the public, and class- room doors are open to all, even during instruction hours. The students live and work in a glass house with the conviction that this is the way in which the Seminary can best serve its sacred obligation to the people. Friendliness, hard work, hope and patience have helped to make our School ol Theology a department ol which we can be very proud. 16

THE NEW YORK STATE CCLLEGE CF CERAMICS Acting Dean of College of Ceramics . JOHN F. MCMAHON, B.S., P.E. The laboratories, materials and kilns at the students' disposal in Binn's Hall and the new Ceramic Building are working day and night aiding scientifically and artistically inclined young men and women to become engineers, technologists and designers in ceramics and associated fields. The present New York State College ot Ceramics is largely the result ot the vision of Boothe C. Davis and John J. Merrill who, in 1900, established the School ot Clay Working and Ceramics at Alfred University. Under the direction of Charles F. Binns the School became a guiding beacon For other institutions of ceramic education, leading the way to a nation-wide program of university education in ceramics. In 1932 the School was raised to the rank ot a college. A new building was provided and much up-to- date equipment added. M. E. Holmes, Dean of the College, directed the program of development and expansion. Emphasis was placed upon the fields of ceramic art and ceramic engineering, and an intensive course in glass technology was added to the curriculum. Improvements in library facilities, development of contact with ceramic industries and expansion of extracurricular student activities have vitalized the theoretical program of study. The growth and develop- ment ot the College is substantiated by the enrollment figures: tive students in 1900 and over tour hundred in 1948. 17
