MISSIONS—AT HOME AND ABROAD There are approximately 400 graduates, 50 of whom are missionaries in 21 foreign lands. Fifteen are teachers and most of the remainder are ministers in forty-two states of the nation. It is the firm conviction of the Administration, faculty and students that a high scholastic standard and deep spirituality are not incompatible, but are strongly linked by inseparable bonds of unity. With all of her stress on the intellectual aspect of semi- nary life, Asbury Seminary seeks to ever keep her approach functional and geared to the future mis- sion of her students both at home and abroad. She attempts to impart to her students who are about to enter their ministerial careers that dynamic im- petus and passion for the redemption of the lost which produces the desired results in the pastorate, in e vangelism, and on the mission field today. The gratifying result is an increasing demand for grad- uates by many conferences all over the United States and by the various mission boards. A glance at the distribution of Seminary alumni FOREIGN STUDENTS The group pictured at the right is representative of the large number of foreign nationals or foreign born Americans in the Seminary. Left to right, they are: Sang Ho Lee from Korea; Murray Hewgill and Melvin Pelfrey of Canada; Mrs. Beryl Rig- by, British Isles; Herman Whiting of Canada; David Rigby from the British Isles; and William Morrison, also from Canada. reveals that they have literally taken heed to Christ's command to ''go into all the world.” It can almost be said that the sun never sets on these alumni. The Seminary comes quite naturally by this world emphasis through her traditions rooted in the life and work of John Wesley who once said, ''The world is my parish.'' This same sen- timent is expressed in the Seminary's slogan, ‘The Whole Bible for the Whole World. A thoroughly cosmopolitan atmosphere pervades the campus as students from several foreign coun- tries and thirty-five or forty of the states fellowship together for a few short months and then go to all parts of the world. But the students are not merely looking forward to service in the far corners of the earth, many are doing a real service now in the hospitals, jails, missions and student pastorates in the vicinity of the Seminary.

| THE SYMPHONETTE This musical ensemble is some- HT thing new on the Seminary cam- pus. This group is under the di- rection of Prof. Long and offers the opportunity for all who play i| instruments to participate in a musical organization MUSIC—THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE Anyone who is musically inclined has ample op- portunity to express his talents through several mu- sical organizations on the campus. The busiest groups are the voluntarily formed quartets which travel within a radius of four hundred miles from Wilmore each week-end. The Men's Glee Club is composed of about twenty-five select members who tind a year of hard practice rewarded by an annual concert tour. Those who play musical instru- ments are welcome to participate in the activities of the Symphonette. The ladies have contributed not a little to the music of the Seminary through THE LADIES' TRIO: both the Women's Chorus and the Ladies’ Trio.
