Ashland Theological Seminary is a graduate school for the training of ministers, missionaries, and other Christian workers. Its close affiliation with Ashland College makes possible the guidance of those college students anticipating seminary work. The énrollment of the Seminary has increased tremendously since 1937. Due largely to its revision at that time, the graduate school had only five students. Now it boasts an enrollment of twenty-two, and with twenty-two students in the pre-seminary division there is promise of continued progress. Not all of these people are taking full time work; some are engaged in other oc- cupations as well. However, of the twenty-two enrolled, twelve students have regular pastorates and thus gain the opportunity of combining the practical and theoretical. The Seminary is an organized body, and its officers work with the faculty in the promotion of a more effective program and closer fellowship within the group through gatherings of a social nature. This year's officers are as follows: Clayton Berkshire, president; Virgil Meyer, vice-president; Paul Zimmerman, secretary- treasurer. A recent addition to the regular schedule contributes one hour a week for forums, devotional services, outside speakers and other programs which may be of interest to the Seminary student. In addition to the program proper the Seminary spon- sors a community Bible class. This year it is being held weekly in the city of Mansfield and has a membership of one hundred. During the absence of Professor Stuckey we are privileged to have the scholarly instruction of Dr. C. F. Yoder and Reverend Kenneth Hulit. Dr. Yoder has spent fifty years in the Christian ministry, thirty of these having been on the mission field of South America. Reverend Hulit is a graduate of Ashland College and Seminary and has been holding a pastorate since graduation. The only graduate this spring is Mr. Vernon Grisso who will receive the Bachelor of Theology degree. Page twenty-seven
