QGYON 2: PW 0 Q S' 'ay Q ' al I A ff, ,ww The Presitlent lireets You! Huntington College stands today as a noble testimony to the faith and sacrifice of thousands of loyal supporters. During the past forty-eight years since its founding the number of buildings associated with the Institution has multiplied to eight. The teaching equipment has increased in efficiency and the educational qualifications of the teaching staff have steadily risen in due proportion. During these years, hundreds of graduates have gone forth to serve their day and people. The challenge of the future is before us. Great tasks lie ahead if we are to vouchsafe those precious ideals for which our fighting men have been will- ing to sacrifice at great cost and seal with their own blood. Our hearts feel keenly the loss of several of our students on battlefields, but are proud of the unselfish service which they have rendered for the cause of freedom and justice, Many others will return to home and Huntington College when the victory is won. We must not hesitate to push forward along lines which will strengthen the forces of true Christian freedom- - Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. -Elmer Becker. 27

Nrgtnmwo :wi , 2' 0'-fkllntnrvvll' gg 49 Q0'S11a1im'3's Uur Liberty Bell and New Emblem Standing silently now in a prominent place on our front campus is the old bell seen in our Huntington College emblem. lt has not spoken for years- Will never speak again. Yet very definitely it represents Huntington's back- ground and has been chosen as the college emblem. For its voice first rang out for Huntington's immediate predecessor, Hartsville College, Hartsville, In- diana, back in the year.l85O. It has been either heard or seen by our entire constituency, even back to the oldest living alumnus. So, though silent, it be- comes each year more and more redolent of youthful memories-more and more eloquent of those traditions oi the Christian faith which have preserved Huntington College for its present expanding usefulness. Huntington College was founded by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, Old Constitution. It still maintains its vital evangelical Christian faith. The administration and faculty are in full accord with these high standards. The College is conservatively governed by a Board of Trustees elected for four-year terms by the General Conference of the Church, the Board of Bishops and the President of the College are members ex-officio.
