| | | HAROLD BARNES KUHN Professor of Philosophy of Religion ! The men and women of the Asbury Theologi- cal Seminary faculty are careful scholars, but they are more than scholars. They feel that every student that enters the ministry from Asbury must be prepared in his heart as well as in his mind. They encourage and help stu- dents to a right relationship to God. Each student, they feel, must have a balanced equip- ment of spiritual and intellectual power. Our faculty is determined that our scho- lastic standards shall not fall short of those of any other divinity school. This year the choice of taking a comprehensive examination or of writing a thesis has been added to the requirements for graduation. In order to meet the needs of the higher standards the library is being built up rapidly with the best in the- ological and related literature. The faculty it- self is being expanded each year. The admin- istration is now grooming bright young men to S.T.M., Ph.D. S.T.M. GEORGE ALLEN TURNER Professor of Church History | serve on the faculty in the immediate future. One of these men, Claude H. Thompson, em- ployed to ‘serve, will have a leave of absence to study in Oxford University this coming year. Our professors travel from coast to coast to fill speaking engagements in schools, churches, camp meetings, and conferences. They also contribute regularly to religious periodicals, both learned and popular. This year a scholarly quar- terly, The Asbury Seminarian, with Dr. H. B. Kuhn as editor, has been added to our own publications. These men come from a variety of -back- grounds. Some are new to Asbury Seminary, but others have been with her from the first. We want especially to pay tribute to Dean F. H. Larabee and Dr. Frank P. Morris as pioneers who have carried forward the vision of a well-trained spirit-filled ministry going out from this center. M.A., D.D. ADOLPHUS GILLIAM Professor of Pastoral Counseling

A hod t Our professors come to us with good scholastic standing from a number of different universities. Such schools as the following are represented among the places in which they have pursued gradu- ate studies: Harvard, Drew, University of Kentucky, University of Southern California, Princeton, Biblical Seminary in New York, New York University. Second only to the faculty in importance for the scholastic preparation of a student body is the library. Our Seminary library is probably the most rapidly growing part of the whole institution. We now have more than 15,000 volumes on hand: this is an increase of 300% in less than three years. Many others are on order. Bound volumes of back periodicals are being secured. Those important. ones not available will be secured in micro film. The new library building, now under construction, will have a capacity of 50,000 volumes. It will be well-equipped with modern facilities such as carrels in the stacks, audio-visual aids, and typewriter and conference rooms. Two new full-time librarians have been added to the staff this year, and a third will be added very soon. Next year the staff will offer a course in the use of the library, bibliography, and the building of a personal library. } acully B.
