Presentation To desire knowledge is no more to be educated than to want to be a bird is to fly. Knowledge must not only be accumulated but assimi- lated, integrated and applied before one can be accorded the compliment, He is an educated man. Accumulated knowledge is available in textbooks. Assimilation and integration come under the guidance of our understanding professors. Application, however, requires that some higher purpose motivates us — something not found in any textbook nor communi- cated through any other person. In the looser sense of the word, a college is for education and to be a college graduate is to be educated. To accept this statement at face value, however is to deceive oneself, for not every college leads its student body to a source of higher purpose that motivates ap- plication of their knowledge in a useful manner. Olivet Nazarene College for fifty-eight years has stood for the best of all that is implied in the word education. The academic training it offers its students under the training of dedicated educa- tors complements the finest mind. The physical environment neces- sary for formal study is under constant improvement. But more than these mere structural components of an educational institution, Olivet has incorporated into its program, the basic ingredient of true education, a motivating purpose. This is reflected in the college motto, Education with a Christian Purpose. In the painting by Rockwell Smith Brank, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts, which is on the facing page, a professor gestures toward the paraphernalia of study in the various fields but points toward the Cross of Calvary as the ultimate inspiration. Olivet, also, pro- vides opportunity for study in all areas and in the same manner designates the Cross as the most essential aspect of the truly edu- cated personality. The Christian philosophy of education maintains that education should enable the Christian to attain a position from which he will have a greater influence for Christ than would have been possible otherwise. This is the philos ophy behind the motto, Education with a Christian Purpose. This, then, is the motivation that Olivet Nazarene College sup- plies its graduates. This distinguishes education from accumulated knowledge. To the Christian, being able to influence others for Christ is the highest ideal. Therefore, in humility and devotion, let us dedicate this book, The 1965 Aurora, to the ideal, Education With a Christian Purpose.
