SCHOLASTIC Ideas are the basic commodity of a college, and ideas come from men—from teachers. The heart of the academic program at Grace College is the professors who are pictured in action on these pages with the hope that ob- servation of their activity may give some in- sight into their influences. More than anything else, teachers are associated with questions — in the classroom, on the examination, in the library, on term papers—all work together to aid the learning process. Learning to think through such questions is the basis of a liberal arts education. The teachers at Grace are Christians and scholars. They follow the Master Teacher and from Him gain a world view coupled with a concern for individuals. The uniqueness of Grace can be perceived only in the lives of men and women who think, talk, and listen in its classrooms. They are Grace College. The academic student uses his tool of per- spective to establish a relationship of ideas whereby each idea is the precedent for an ever greater thought. Such a correlation distinguishes a college—for each academic activity and ex- perience helps to shape one’s philosophy of life. . a

] For instructor Mr. David Dilling, thoughtful moments are necessary before beginning his lecture on Greek verbs. Mr. Shaull finds that grading papers is an integral part of teaching Greek Elements. With the addition of a minor in Missions and expansion in the field of Christian Education, the Bible Department is keeping pace with the growth of Grace. Mr. Messner, Dr. Stuber, Mr. Steffler, and Mr. Dowdy assist Dr. Boyer and Mr. Davis in teaching Bible courses which are aimed at interesting the student in personal study beyond the classroom. Languages help develop the mind. Grace students also discover that languages are tools for future life service. Aided by records, tapes, and color slides, students come to understand the culture, geography, and the language of many countries. The reading of a Spanish book brings about a lively discussion between Mr. Dowdy and Eloy Pacheco. Mr. Nesbitt has found that singing in French makes speaking in French much easier.
