Presidenfs Message BISHOP ARTHUR K. WHITE President, Alma White College At the invitation of the Alma White College Class of 1959, I, as President, have been invited to contribute to the Yearbook. Its publication is dependent upon the ini- tiative and enterprise of students as their own project. It provides an opportunity to test their ability as editors, garnering information about themselves, presenting it in a pleasing way, with the hope that the results will accrue IO the benefit of their Alma Mater as a continuing, growing, and successful education institution. They hope to constitute a link in a strong chain of cultural success and progress. College days should offer some of the most prof- itable and happiest times of life. Associations can be formed that contribute to enrichment of a career. If friendships are made with spiritual values in mind, class associations can mean so much in upholding the tradia tions of a school, and, where there is vision, faith, and imagination, play a meaningful role in the growth of a College or university which they are pleased to recognize as their Alma Mater. A well-known observer has expressed the thought that while it is important for us to have great men, it is also important to have great boys. If the alumni of any school is to prove great and influential, there must be greatness of character on the part of undergraduates. We need more great students. In time to come, as the representatives of the class of 1959 look back On this year of study and training, let us hope that the records of this Yearbook will inspire them to continue research and study for the highest achievement in their chosen fields of service for God, home, and country. The Yearbook will not list a tre- mendous host, but it is designed to register quality. Their Alma Mater has not been looked upon as an organization of educational mass production, but rather as an intellec- tual and spiritual workshop- where good character features are, in a sense, hand-made to affect the highest excellence. I once made a thrilling contact with a representative of the graduate department of a great university where one of our Alma White College graduates had received a Masters degree. This official was so impressed with the work accomplished that he said to me, Send us some more. We have been pleased with the recognition that a goodly number of our students have received from high educational authority and hope to continue maintaining our standards on a high level. This will be possible only as spiritual values are emphasized, in simple words of gospel truth, putting God first in whatever we do. As this has been impressed upon our undergraduates during the course of study, we sincerely hope that they will car- ry away with them the profound truth that, indeed, if we seek God and righteousness first, all things will be added unto us tsee Matthew 6335. May the class of 1959 prosper under God's leadership- in notable service as good citizens, educators, leaders, and above all. as dedicated servants of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
