Sic Vos Non Yobis Building is a universal term. Whether it is the ‘‘frozen music” of a commanding European cathedral with all its divinely exquisite tracery of design, its heaven-piercing spires, its artistic flying buttresses, its vaulted roofs and deep magnificent naves, or a simple cottage of rough hewn logs in the sylvan glades of the Northwest, still either edifice is a product of construction. Numer¬ ous indeed are the types of things men build. The modern sky¬ scraper of steel girders and stone, the home of brick and frame construction, the ship that plys the ocean ’s;wide expanse: all prod¬ ucts of man’s ingenuity are types of building. Into each he fabri¬ cates his spirit, his search for the unknown, his interpretation of life, his longings, his ideals. Building is essentially the expression of what man is. There is one type of building which has not yet been mentioned, a build¬ ing not of things but built of that intangible stuff called dreams and spirit—the human life. Building a life is by far the highest of man’s fashionings; and it is not of man alone, for God has a hand in shaping life. As surely as great architecture must leave behind it outstanding character and love for beauty, even more so must these qualities form the foundation for a noble life. Education stands as one of the most important factors in human building; in this field the college is paramount. Anderson College and Theological Seminary was born with the ideal of fur¬ nishing young people that most necessary ingredient for building a vital life, a well rounded education. But what is a true educa¬ tion? According to Buskin, “The entire object of a true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things—not merely industrious, but to love industry—not merely learned, but to love knowledge—not merely pure, but to love purity—not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after jus¬ tice.” Such has been the aim of Anderson College and Theological Seminary. The development of reasoning, the impartation of book lore, impregnated by the flaming spirit of God has been its accomplishment. This double spirit enfolds every student who enters the portals of Anderson College and Theological Seminary and into his ripening life it is imbibed. This institution with her two-fold purpose, with instructors whose souls are filled with God is building well, is building for life, life mundane and life infinite. Looking into the opening future one can say with Buskin, “You will build with stone well, but with flesh better; temples not made with hands, but riveted of hearts; and that kind of marble, crim¬ son-veined, is indeed eternal.” Page Tieenty-Eight
