CLASS OF I895 sTraTe The naTural laws, and To Take The sTudy ouT oT The realm oT Theory. ln l893, T. W. Shan- non received The TirsT college diploma. To allow more sTudenTs To receive an educa- Tion, lvlinisTer's Hall, a Two-sTory Trame building oT sixTeen rooms, was erecTed in l894. Theo- logical subiecTs were gradually Tinding a place in The curriculum as shown by The addiTion oT a Three-year course emphasizing The Classics, Eng- lish, lvleThodisT Theology, and Discipline. From The beginning Asbury has emphasized The spiriTual condiTion oT The sTudenT body. There have always been Two scheduled revivals: The Tall revival To lead new sTudenTs inTo regen- eraTion and enTire sancTiTicaTion, and The spring one To conTinue ThaT work and To prepare sTu- denTs Tor summer work. AT diTTerenT periods, sponTaneous revivals have broken ouT as The re- Suli OT PVGYGF or TesTimony. An evangelisTic aTrnosphere is and always should be a parT of our normal liTe here aT Asbury. An onlooker can iudge Tairly well The char- acTer oT The sTudenT body by The + G of Back Row: Ella M. Carson-Baughman, Maflie Greer. Front Row: W. L. Clark, W. O. Humphrey, F. D. Pain. oT The LIGHT OF THE CROSS bursT TorTh on The campus in a new manner. Under The leader- ship oT F. B. Jones, who had volunTeered Tor Toreign missionary work The previous year, a Missionary SocieTy wiTh TiTTy charTer members was Tormed. lTs TirsT responsibiliTy was The sup- porT of B. SarmoT who had reTurned To his naTive land oT Persia. For Those who held Themselves in readiness To go anywhere aT any Time ThaT The Lord mighT lead, a STudenT VolunTeer Band was organized in l898. Through iT The missionary spiriT was TurThered and The way Tor oThers To volunTeer made easier. The noonday proyef meeTings oT This group proved a dynamo Tor The enTire school. The organizaTion had a dual aim: ThaT oT preparing sTudenTs Tor Their respeCTiV6 Tields and ThaT oT providing acTual experience in soul winning while ,sTilI in Training.
