VICE PRE IDE T fpendf muck time and Work in refemfcla and promolzbn Dr. Kenneth Armstrong, Vice President of Pasadena College contributed much in the areas of administration and in teaching of subjects in the fields of Sociology and Religion. According to Dr. Armstrong, his work here in- creased his awareness of the tremendous power-potential of students, any one of whom properly motivated can perform at an almost unimaginable level . He further stated that the student's motivaion can be sparked from without, even though this motivating force comes from within the individual. Dr. Armstrong found that his most significant work is often done during subtile moments and at times when his awareness of student change and help is lowest. Concerning his administrative duties, Dr. Armstrong felt that administration is not the apex of the institution, but rather serves as a base on which the institution can function smoothly and effectively. In conclusion, Dr. Armstrong described his idea of service in three demensions: QU honestly wanting to serve, 12, accepting service as a goal in itself, and GD appreciating being served in return. He felt that service is both rewarding and demanding of great responsibility.

DR. OSCAR J. FINCH President of the College PRE IDE T Dr. Oscar J. Finch has quietly and firmly led Pasa- dena College according to a concept of the meaning of Christian education congruous with the purpose of the school. He administered according to the precepts of the conservative religous point of view as the basis of organization principles. Captalizing on the diverse attributes of his staff and groups representing the educational zone, he laid plans for expanding the campus and developing academic and spiritual standing. Following the teachings of Christ, he built soundly, though conservatively, so that if the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house it would not fall, for it was founded upon a rock.

I DE ELOPMENT Two IDZMLYE program-structural and academic The Pasadena College Development Program is much r . ' , . Q greater than that which relates to campus expansion. Fol- J W lowing the inauguration of President O. J. Finch, the mat- J N' ii J ter of the future Pasadena College was almost immediately J reviewed. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees fol- lowing his inauguration, President Finch requested that the , Board appoint several major committees that would study and develop various phases of the College's future. For l. nearly two years these committees have been functioning. l l 1. The Campus Master Plan Committee I J Z 1 2. The Urban Renewal Committee 1 3. The Council of Education Policy and Program ln 4. The Commission on Administrative Policy and 3 Procedure 5. The Campus Operations Study Committee Although the work of these committees has not yet been completed, considerable work has been accomplished. Within the calendar year 1962 is it projected that the Urban Renewal program will be inaugurated and a new college curricular program will be launched. The dimensions of a college's development are such that wide participation in planning their objectives must be accomplished. President O. Finch has contributed monu- mental leadership in the accomplishment of a God-directed Development Program for Pasadena College. DEVELOPMENT - Remodeling of Nease Hall. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
