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.
