They visited such places of interest as Westminster Abbey, British Museum, Roman remains in Chester, the Ducal Palace in Venice, the Petti Palace in Florence, and St. Peter ' s Cathedral at Rome. In addition to the many cultural experiences, they visited the birthplace of David Liv- ingstone and much of the area that is associated with the life of John Wesley. They were guests of British Isles Nazarene College and some of the Nazarene Churches of Britain. They contacted and worshipped with Naz- arenes in London, Germany, and Italy. The group returned to New York on August 11. Those that took the tour for credit earned up to six semester hours. The globe-trotters pause in front of the Palais De Versailles for a brief rest.

Welcome Olivetians were the words written on the pamphlet given to each new freshman at the beginning of the Orientation program. And following the welcome was written: Ad- justment to the college time table and the ways of life away from home proves to be difficult for many students. It is our hope to make this process as nearly painless as possible. The activities of this week are designed to help you become acquainted with the people, the services, and the procedures that are here to help you succeed in college. The tests are administered to help us know you better, so that we may counsel you more intelligently. Your best effort on each test will give the most reliable information and thus enable us to give you the best possible service. Nine groups were formed to take tests, audi- tions for the musical groups, and sittings for Aurora pictures. Along with the drudgery of orientation, the freshmen had opportunity to acquaint themselves with the college, its student leaders, and faculty. Recreation periods were scheduled, with softball and swimming gaining the highest interest. Dispersed through- out the three days of activity were the lectures You and Your Health by Dr. W. T. Hodges, Financing Your Education by Alyn Fletcher, and What ' s College All About by Dr. W. E. Snowbarger. On Thursday of Orientation Week Dr. Reed addressed the freshmen on The Difference of education at Olivet. After the lecture he held in the Universe a reception for the freshmen. The activities came to a conclusion Sunday, at College Church with the freshmen providing the choir and Rev. Nash giving the annual welcoming message. Dr. McClain seems to be getting off to a good start icith one of the new incoming Freshmen. Dr. and Mrs. Reed take pleasure in greet- ing Olivet ' s new students. The Trumpet Trio, Bob Huff on the Bass, and Dave Hughes playing the piano perform musical selections for the new Freshmen.
