Dear Students and Friends of American Christian College: The American Christian College came into being as a result of the vision of Dr. Billy James Hargis. He saw the need for a college, soundly Christian and patriotically Ameri- can, dedicated to the training of leaders who will carry on in the best Christian and American traditions. In addition to our national program, an increasingly important role is being played in Asia and Latin America. This is made real for our college students through students from South America and Asia, and through the orphan homes in South Korea, India, and Mexico, maintained by the missionary division of our organization. Then there is the Christian Crusade Weekly, with its new offspring, the Christian Crusade Weekly published in India. The student at the American Christian College is involved in the affairs of the world on a Christian basis. Seminars are held in Israel so that our students may see and hear the good news of Christian salvation in the places of its origin. Our college concert choir, in its first year, has achieved an enviable reputation for excellence through its coast-to-coast performances. Life at American Christian College is a truly great adventure in Christian learning and living. Come and ioin our student body, have a part in reconstructing our national life and the life of the world along Christian lines. Sincerely, ll' lbo-uf' H. Russell Grow, Dean

Dear Students: Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ. As we look back over the school year which has lust closed, l'm sure we are all aware of the numerous difficulties, heartaches and even failures which were experienced. As human beings we are all subiect to infirmi- ties of various sorts. We see, I hope, our immaturity in many areas. Be- sides, our imperfections are doubtless greatly magnified as they are proiected upon the backdrop of the high Christian standards of our school. But in and through and out of all these discouragements, God has brought us forth in triumph. I believe that our entire student body will share with me the conviction that God has given us many victories during the school year. Progress has been made. There has been a growing up into Christ in all things. Eyes of the understanding have been enlightened. The exceeding great- ness of His power to us has been experienced. The whole armor of God has been proved in our conflict with the enemy. It is my prayer that we may all go on to greater victories for our Lord Jesus, and that we may never have our vision of Him dimmed by the counterfeits of the world, the flesh and the Devil. God bless you-Go with God. 4 Yours in Christ, M V7 David A. Noebel Vice-President
