The present World-wide Second Advent Movement had its birth in the heart of New England. There accompanied it a turning of 'fthe heart of the fathers to the children, which blossomed forth and has born as its fruit a great system of Christian education. Fifty years ago a group of devoted men and women founded our College. Through their loving sacrifice and ardent labor thousands of youth have received both inspiration and preparation for Christian service. lt is gratifying to know that the same purpose, zeal, and loyalty that burned in the hearts of the Hrst students and teachers is still aglow in the lives of those who today are on the stage of action. The world's rapid disintegration and the church's marvelous opportunity should inspire each life to fulfil in greater measure the high ideals of our noble- spirited founders. O. M.

WHITNEY tRezJz'ew and Herald, October 24, 18825 As it has recently been my privilege to spend a week at Southlsancaster, Mass., it may be proper for me to speak of the impressions received while observing the practical working of the school recently established there. Feeling a deep interest in the school from its 'first establishment, 'I took the greater satisfaction in closely watching its working, in order to decide for myself as to the real measure of success which has attended it thus far, and I must say that in what I have seen, I have been happily disappointed. First, as to the school as a school, independently of the special advantages which it confers. That it is altogether different from the ordinary school, no one could doubt who has had opportunity to observe its working. The object ,of the teachers is to lead the student to think for himself, rather than to memorize the facts and rules laid down in text books, which, unless kept in constant use, are soon forgotten, and are really of no practical value to him. Witla many of our people, the idea prevails that we have plenty of good schools all through the country, so far as their general system of instruction is concerned, and, to the particular feature of our denominational schools would be the religious influence with which the pupils are surrounded. While the advantages of such influence cannot be over-estimated, I feel very confident that no one of intelligence could witness the operation of this school, attending the recitations and work of the study hours during which the students are under the supervision and assistance of the teachers, without being convinced that, as a school for the acquirement of true knowledge, which may be made of practical value in life, this school is far superior to the best grades of our public schools. The popular system of education may accomplish greater seeming results, and is, indeed, better calculated to stimulate, and to encourage false and worldly ambition on the part of the student in a display of what he has learned, and in that he may have it to say that he has gone through with a certain course of study: but in practical results, in fitting young men and women for useful- ness in the cause of God, I believe the methods of instruction employed here are above comparison. with those of other schools. Then, to speak of the special features of the school, it seems to me to come the nearest to the model of a well regulated family of any I have ever seen. From five o'clock in the morning, the hour of rising, 'till nine at night, every hour has its specific employment, and every one understands his duty for the hour, and is held responsible for its discharge. Order, system, and thorough- ness are thus brought in as a part of the education of the students, and it is in- deed surprising to see what results have been accomplished in even the brief period since the commencement of last term. ' During the working hours, of which there are three at different times during 'the day. all thelstudents, from oldest to youngest, are expected to engage in .such labor as is assigned to them, and the promptness and cheerful alacrity with which they come to this part of the day's programme is remark- 14 Ng. Q 5 1 i all 'I ' -.1 r df! able, and attests more fully than any argument could, the practical value of a system which combines systematic physical labor with study in the routine of student life. The board of trustees has -made arrangements so that reasonable remuneration is made for such labor as is of value, so that students are thus by faithful industry, able materially to reduce their expenses at school. The benefit gained by the practical education in habits of regular, systematic in- dustry secured by this course is worth manyfold the mere pecuniary advantage to be gained thereafter. The constant attention required from the teachers for sixteen hours of each day, in order to carry out this plan, would seemingly be a heavy tax upon their strength, and yet it was the uniform testimony of the teachers that they iind their labor not more wearying under this system than under the old methods. Prof. Bell reports that he has endured theilabor of the present term thus far much better than he anticipated, and his interest and courage in the Work are increasing. But the chief feature of interest in the school, the one to my mind of more importance than all others, is the religious ,interest manifested among the pupils: and that, too, without any special effort to create a religious excite- ment, but coming, rather, as an outgrowth of the constant effort to impress upon the students the idea that a truly religious life is the point to which all education and discipline should tend. The regular Bible lessons of each day in which all the pupils join, have a marked influence in molding the character of the school in this direction. The morning and evening prayers, at which all kneel. whether professors of religion or not, the familiar talks with the students concerning the importance of devoting the life to the service of God, the evident faith of the teachers, freely expressed, that the pupils under their charge will, under the favorable surroundings, yield themselves to this service,-all these influences, working in harmony with the Spirit of God, have resulted in the awakening of a deep religious interest most gratifying to witness. This has manifested itself, not only in an increased earnestness on the part of those already making a profession of religion, but among those who came there unconverted, some of the students having recently made a profession of religion for the first time. On Sunday, Cct. 8, nine were baptized by Elder Robinson. The students all attend the regular weekly prayer-meeting of the church, and are all members of the Sabbath-school, in which there seems to be an excellent interest. Altogether, one is strongly impressed that what has been done could not have been accomplished without the signal blessings of God. His special blessing l most assuredly believe, has rested upon the effort put forth here to carry out the instruction which the Lord has seen fit to give upon the subject of education, and so long as these principles are carried out we shall look for a continuance of the prosperity that has thus far attended the school. Never has my heart been so impressed with the possibilities for usefulness before the youth, if they will devote their lives to the service of God, or with a sense of the willingness of God to bless and help them in the work, as while witnessing what I have seen of the work of the Spirit of God on the hearts of these students. l felt that the experience of the week was a valuable one to me. I thank God that in his providence such a school has been established, and l can but hope that the time is not far distant when other schools of like character shall be established among our people. 15 .... -..,. .,...,.,........-'-:::-v:-vw'----M-P ' ' ' ' ,. i 1,f - ' , w,4 1 FIRST DORMITORY - 1884 'uf' Y Q 51,,,z3f+' XL, M ' J., DORMITORY TODAY - 1932 16 -..--,,.. .,-, ,. . ....-f.,.,..-., -,.. ...... ,.,, ,,,,,, , ,, ,big .Q 1 Q Q.. . ., gt Vllilliifo Stboirjy off fbLfll.aunitf:iiio Uiiiiicoin fiollllego lt was at a meeting of the New England Tract and Nlissionary Society early in the year l88Z, that the idea of a missionary training school in the East was conceived. Our denomination then had only two colleges, Battle Creek College in Michigan and one at Healdsburg, California. These godly men who bore a burden. for the progress of the gospel, saw that they were too far away for most of the young people of New England to enter, and by faith they started a preparatory school. Elder S. N. Haskell, D, A. Robinson, and Miss Maria Huntley comprised the Hrst board. The first term began April l9, l882, with eighteen students present, and by the end of the term twenty-four were enrolled. Professor Good- loe Harper Bell came from Battle Creek College to teach the higher grades and Miss Edith Sprague to teach the lower. The school was held in what had been a carriage shop owned by Elder S. N. Haskell and later used as the village church. Becoming too small for that, it was then moved to Main Street and used as the Tract Society Office. A room upstairs served as the school room. Students attended from New Hamp- shire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Massachusetts. Some of these were Elder 0. O. Earnsworth and his wife, who was then Miss Carrie Mace, Joseph Mace, H. B. Tucker, William Wieston, Otis Thayer and Miss Ella Graham, who is now the wife of Elder E. C. Gilbert. Carrie Mace was the first foreign mis- sionary to be sent from this school. At the close of the first day of school a meeting was called by the students, O. Q. Earnsworth acting as chairman. At this meeting they adopted some resolutions beginning: Vsfhereas, a school has been opened in South Lancaster among Seventh-day Adventists, and whereas, it has required sacrifice on the part of its founders to start the enterprise, and will require still more to carry it on successfully, therefore-. The students went on to ask for one acre of land, which the boys agreed to work free of charge and donate the proceeds to the school. The girls resolved to do their part by laundering and mending free of charge the clothes of all the boys who worked the acre of land. At the close of the first term SlO82.3l had been spent and only 3241.04 received from students. But the faith of Elder Haskell and the school board did not waver. They made a success of a small beginning. Eor the second term the Tract Society oflice was moved and attached to a dwelling house. The house was used as a girls' home and the old oflice served as a dining room. The boys boarded in another house. During that term Miss Eannie Dickerson, later editor of the Yot1I'h's Instructor, entered as a pupil. The classes were conducted in the new church, for they had outgrown that little upper room. lt was interesting to note that that carriage house be- came a church, tract society office, session room of school. dining room, and l7 A 4? . fl 5 'I' Ax H -efi x - ' d. lt is now the pressroom ' ' h the True Educator was printe ' ' .

Sawiflghitfbiinilieisablf the new school strongly believed that manual labor was ential to the forming of a perfect character. Cordwood was purchased'for ilise bovs to saw while the girls prepared the meals and did the laundering. Later harness-making, printing, tent-making, broom-making,-and cobbling were taught. Atlantic Union College still stands for these principles. The new dormitory and administration building were dedicated in the fall of l884. At this time the enrollment was nearly one hundred. Despite this new building some girls had to live in a nearby house. Twenty-two acres of land were also purchased to provide more employment. Elder D. A. Robin- son became principal in l88-4, but he served only one year. Prof. C. C. Ramsay from California was the next principal. Strong constructive work upon the curriculum was done during his three years' stay. The classical, scientnc, Biblical, and normal departments were added, and credits were now given. . l888 is marked by the first graduating class of South Lancaster Academy. The principal this year was Prof. C. C. Ramsay. During the administration of Prof. C. C. Caviness a marked growth in attendance was visible, so much so that South Hall, the Botsford House, and a large house below South Hall were occupied by the young men. lt was planned to build a new girl's dormitory, to enlarge the chapel, and to add four new recitation rooms. The plan for a new girls' dormitory was not carried out until 1894, the year Professor J. H. Haughey became principal. lt was built on the site where the Bird Museum now stands. The building seemed to be too large to be profitable, and in l899 it was sold to be used as a sanitarium. It was torn down and the materials were used in erecting a new building at the Melrose Sanitarium. The old dormitory was now enlarged and the girls returned to it. Professor Frederick Griggs served the Academy as principal for eight years. The commercial department was started and the change was made from forenoon and afternoon session to solid session in l902. Marches were held in the forenoon to break the monotony of the solid session. ln 1903 the Book Bindery started its work, and it has been of great service to our school ever since, by providing work for a large per cent of the students. Without the excellent co-operation of Elder E. E. Miles, its owner, many worthy young people would have been denied an education. 1904 brought Miss Edna S. Farnsworth to head the Music Department. She has served the school in that capacity ever since. Miss Rowena Purdon, from the Hrst graduating. classiof the Academy, came back as Normal teacher in 1906. She is now doing faithful service as English teacher in the Academy. I l90 n 7 the Academy suffered its only disastrous fire At four o'clock in the morning one of the boys went to the broom factor t b ' k. . U . y o egin wor He ,found that a firelhad broken out in the side of the boiler. It was creeping up into the comme l ' d b Y f h rcia room. The alarm was given, and the men of the town an oys o t e school fought bravely for two hours before they could put it out. 18 '55 r .fp 1 'A 1 f 1' i-- s 1- ,gligx Six rooraas were charred: half of tlae library roasted to cinders: one day was lost froraa school and tlae danaage was 332,700.00 When sclaool started again, a praise service was held because the Administration Building had been spared During tlais saraae year tlaere was organized a Teachers' Seminar to promote better teachirag, and the League of Honor to make for close fellowship between teachers and students. Professor B. P. Machlara caraae ira l908 as principal and stayed until l9l0. He returned in l9l3 and served until l9l6 and then again froraa l92l until his death in l9Z8. Professor Machlan was one of the best loved of all the prin- cipals of Atlantic Union College. ln l908 the new central heating plant and electric dynamo were installed, also a new fire system. Professor C. S. Longacre became principal in l9l0. In l9ll Professor H. T. Curtis arrived to teach bookkeeping. He is now here as mathematics teacher and is greatly respected for his deep knowledge of these subjects. A new laboratory was added in this year, which raaade its home on the third floor and in the basement of tlae Administration Building before it was moved to North Hall in l92l. ln tlae year l9 l 2 the foundation stone of tlae Browning Nlenaorial Normal was laid. Against this good fortune was the great misfortune of a four weeks, epidemic of smallpox. The College buildings were policed so that no one might enter or leave the premises. Classes were held for the town students ira tlae church during this time. The Domestic Science and Carpentry Departments were added in l9l3 Professor NV. G. Xlyfirth became principal in l9l6, and Doctor Nl. E. Dlson took his place in l9l7. ln l9lS two cultural clubs were fornaed.

The corner occupied by the South Lane caster Printing Company was the campus. The school building stood on the side nearest Main Street while on the site of the office of the South Lancaster Printing Company was a long wood shed containing cord wood, a row of sawhorses and several buck saws, which served as the only industry. Between this building and the schoolhouse was the ball field. The balls partook some- what of the nature of the students, only instead of going in one door and out another, they went in one window and out another - and left a bill. In those days the boys were very particular about having their shirts starched. When their complaints had completely exhausted the patience of the young ladies, they found their entire laundry, even heavy woolen socks standing about their rooms, still and uncompromising. They had been starched. One day a pillow was discovered suspended from the ceiling of a boy's room. Pinned to it was a slip of paper bearing these words, Tried and found guilty of eating shavings without chewing. Punished to the full extent of the law. The pillows were stuffed with excelsior. Professor Bell was absent. An older girl substituted as arithmetic teacher. The problem was original - a house. Dimensions for the doors were given. Amused looks appeared on the faces of the boys. The young teacher questioned sharply and received the drawling answer, They'd do, maybe, for barn doors. The dorm students were provided with reserved seats at the church. The following was the order of march - a lady faculty member led the way, followed by the girls, two by two. A professor led the boys, who also followed him in pairs. l884-l888 When the girls refused to appear at worship Sabbath mornings, they were confined to bed and served invalid's diet. At the matron's side hung a brown book, surnamed the smash-book, which contained records of all breakage. One morning a six foot lad weighing nearly two hundred pounds rushed in from the yard where he had been hanging out clothes. Sobbing bitterly he sought the matron and begged for the 'lsmash-book. The poor little lady fluttered in excitement. After many reassurances the culprit was induced to confess, 'A I- l - broke a clothes pin. The program for one day. 5:00 A. M. Rising bell. 130 A. M.

XYhen the girls complained of their hard lot, the preceptress took them to visit the State School for Girls that they might by contrast see how fortunate they were. , I Each room was furnished with a small box stove and a wood box, which was hlled each day by a responsible young man. Each stove-pipe went out over the door and connected with a long pipe running the length of the hall. Frequently they lost connections, filling the dorm with soot. smoke, and excitement. Miss Rowena Purdon displayed the qualities of a heroine when she smothered a blazing lamp with a bed quilt. The quilt was not even blackened, and so she had no proof for her brave deed. ln l885 the first Latin class was organized. lt consisted of two people: teacher, Professor Ramsay: pupil, Miss Rowena Purdon. Elder Miles surprised those studying in chapel one day when, wishing to produce more interest in the ancient and almost lost art of thinking, he gave a lecture on Ruminating. Some time later he looked up to discover one lad chewing gum while contentedly gazing out of the window. Walkixag to- ward him the Professor asked, Wlaat are you doing, Mel? Innocently the boy turned wide eyes upon him and answered between chews, Ruminatingf' l887-1892 Joint worship was held in the double parlor of East Hall, the boys oc- cupying the front parlor and the girls the back. ln the center between the two groups which faced each other sat the principal of the Academy. ln those days punctuality was stressed. and all tardy members slipped in as noiselessly as possible. lt so happened that one particular young man had the misfortune to arrive just as the opening song was announced. Assuming an air of bravado, he marched to his seat in the front, swung his chair around with a flourish and then -- well the floors had just been oiled - and the young people began to sing Lift Him Up. Even the staid Professor Caviness laughed. No communication during study period was permitted if Mrs. Sara Jane Hall coulci prevent it. One young man who boasted of adhering to every ,jot and tittle of school regulations, was seized with a sudden overpowering desire to visit a friend on the third floor. Removing his shoes, he crept stealthily up to the second: from there with his eye fastened on Mrs. Hall's door he ascended the next ,flight backwards. Reaching his friend's room he backed in, trium- phantly announcing, She didn't get me that time, and turned to find him- self face to face with Mrs. Hall. Perhaps it is difhcult to believe that Elder E. C. Gilbert would ever be re- sponsible for any excitement in a literature class, yet one day when assuming the part of Shylock in the Merchant of Venice, it is reported that he caused the young ladies to scream and one to faint by his excellent acting. A40 I , J f -.r:A. ..' .fi .. FINA 'va I if .Tit V .3 A 1899-1908 The faculty with the members of the board Bled upon the platform. Pro- fessor Ciriggslopened the big Bible and began to read. He choked and turned red but continued. At last he sneezed, and sneezed, and sneezed again. and then sat down. The hymn was announced and all those upon the platform joined Professor Griggs in quartets, trios, duets, and solos of sneezing. Soon the members of the senior class found themselves joining the chorusc An in- nocent little junior had placed 'A cachoo pepper in the books to prove to the seniors that they were not as important as they thought. The president of the junior class who led the seniors in at commencement was very foppish and extreme. He made a very low flourishing bow to the class. As he turned to leave, his heel caught in the decorations, and he fell for them. The Bindery dormitory was very much like a private home, if one missed a meal, the preceptress kindly provided something to eat. Sabbath morning, however, anyone who missed breakfast must wait till noon to eat, because the kitchen door was locked. One young lady at last discovered a key that would fit, and they all breakfasted at their leisure. Being unable to keep this to herself she one day filled a dishpan full of water and set it on the kitchen floor. Search was instituted for the key. lt was found. Thus ended the morning lunches. 1911-1918 Some of the young men became nature enthusiasts and visited a pond in search of water lilies. They secured the loan of a homemade boat of matched lumber, which promptly filled with water and sank in the middle of the pond: and after struggling waist deep in mud, water and pond lily roots reached shore and the boys returned home, their enthusiasm somewhat dampened. 1 Two young men felt the urge to go skating after the lights were out. However, they realized the necessity of disguise and so borrowed overcoats as de- coys. Arriving at the river, they found others there who should have been in bed also, but they determined to keep their own identity secret. They would skate toward the pairs, then away before they could be recognized. Grad- ually the students departed. Next day it was reported that two faculty mem- bers had visited the river and skating held little appeal for some time. During the smallpox epidemic of 1913 the dorm was quarantined, and food was taken to the students by oflicers who patrolled the streets. The class of 1913 has the distinction of being one of the few which had a girl for president. Une young man objected to joining the class be- cause hie feared being under petticoat rule. Somehow he changed his mind. for she is now his wife. During these years the school reached its zenith in baseball. Qld timers say that there never were, and never will be. two teams like the ,Nlohawks and the Comets. The College Qrchestra was formed. having as its leader, Forest Nicola, who later became assistant to Philip Sousa. 31 fx 2-N gd s x X! xx 1'l ff H1 N ,..-.....x LEST WE FORGET 32 X ,y ai' .e i 'Y ,Q ALJ.

Knowing this institution as I have known it by its manifest good works, by its exalted spirit of service, and by the high ideals seen exemplified in both teachers and students, l feel highly honored in being asked to have a part in this most interesting ceremony today. I have it in my thoughts to talk with you of the faith and of the found- ing of a modern day Massachusetts church and college. l have to think with you of the planting of trees and of the promise and of the prophecy of such a ceremony, mindful of the history of this church and college of yours, of the far radiance and influence of your love to all men, however dark their in- heritance, and how the strength and breath of the New England pines have come to the South Seas, invigorating the languid atmosphere of the tropics. One of the most happy memories of my own father is that which is associated with the symbolic ceremony which we perform today, the planting of trees. lt was at the time when those great maples, living today, which 37 -- - .,...,...- N.,-.J mln4....f1-,Q-,...,inqsqvL.la 4Ai24+Xf-11LA3Q .g,L..,:.g.J .-1..4-a- ...,:L...:..4-- UN .G V ' 4? ,. sf 'qi ' sag an... 4 4, ,V ' .,,,.,a,.,, -, , -- - - - V, - ,y 7 ,- gl FQ . .V line the roid in front of the homes in which his children now live, were planted. ut for those who shall come after us, whom 'These are not for me or for you. b ' 4 I , h h , we do not know, but in whose benedictions we may later live wit Y Gm, said my father, and l have valued that serious and happy thought. Vvfhat then. my friends. is the beneficient symbolism of the planting of a tree? lt is a gift to the generations to come, each day bringing a renewed visible benediction to the people whom we do not know and who are yet to be born, and with each morning of the springtime, flaming' in the rosy colors of the promise of the coming summer, andiin the crystalline cold of mid- winter, the trees, standing like sentinels awaiting the coming. of a new spring- time, will bear messages of good will through all the succession of the seasons. l know of no other gift that man can make to man or we to each other that in truth can soeak with such constant voices of faith, affection and promise as falls from thie trees whether in tempest or in the bland breezes of summertime. A tree will grow with our good wishes, and our memory will be more secure as people note it, think of it, and remember it. And as a memory dear to me is preserved by the maples, so this tree is your message to those who come after. l have said to you that my thought is of the faith and of the found- ing of a new church and of a new college. The zeal and ideals that make for the success of both are kindred ideals and ambitions, and they come from the same source. Once in our New England colonies, as you know, church and state were one and the same. There could be citizenship and the right to share in the civil community for a man or a Woman only if he or she were pledged to the doctrines or tenets of some particular creed, or to some order or manner of worshiping God. But no republic could live under such limita- tions. And so it has come about that the rights, duties and privileges of all citizenship are devoted to the government itself of our own creation to which we owe our allegience, and each enjoys the right to worship God according to the manner and phrase of his own conscience that appeals to him, and under the protection of the law of the land. Milind so the founding of a new college is built upon the ideals and serv- ice of such citizenship which has made this republic of ours. A republic can survive only so long as each of us remembers that our devotion is exalted in a religious faith. ln another form it is a citizenship inspired by high religious faith which must animate the performance of our every activity in public or domestic life. Hlf we search the rolls of the great institutions, of the ancient universities, which trace their origin to the very beginning of letters or of written history, we shall nnd there no names of graduates who have so directly or in such large proportion given themselves to the aid and to the enlightenment of the world. as have the scholars who have passed from the doors if your teachings here. No one shall belittle the benefits or the benevolences which have come to those peoples who have dwelt in heathen darkness through the ministrations of the noble young people who have gone out from this school. ln the history of church or of state there have been no nobler examples of heroism or of faith than of your missionaries in the far western islands. 38 it . ig, L-- Lau- ,..- -- rx-1--.k.. - VL fs fi pnxag,-hs, And so in this meeting today in which I am permitted to share with you in these reflections, let me say that I hope that this spirit of service which has its source here, may always be here preserved and prevail forever as it must prevail. It is this spirit of courage, fidelity and hope which we share with each other in the happiness and the promise of this festival day. It is because, as you know if you know the meaning of this day, that we are thinking that the ab- solute sacrifice of self, of high souled men and women, alone sustains the spirit of the weak and faltering and leads them onward and upward to the City of God. If you have caught the inspiration of these memorable moments here today, you will go hence, mindful of your association with these teachers and preachers who have taught and ministered here. I.,et your own lives be set in worthy and reverent companionship with them and in memories that will be beacon lights through the darkness of your coming days. Whatever may be the insignia conferred upon you, whatever the cloaks, or gowns or caps you wear, they may be worn as proudly by you as those worn by any graduates of the famed University of Padua, or of Qxford in England. or of our own beloved American Colonial Harvard or Yale, or other famous institutions of learning. Live in the inspiration of these ideals of your own. modestly, reverently as you always have, and know that you share in all the inspirations of human thought that come from learning, and piety, and high endeavor. Because of my own belief in you, and in the purposes and activ- ities of your school, I read the precious promise of your future days, your hopes translated into the radiant action of a devoted faith. I am proud and grateful for this opportunity you have given me to come and speak of my confidence in the belief of a people who live as you do in the constant demonstration of a genuine and constant piety and religous faith.

I deem it a great honor to have been called by you to come here to speak upon this occasion, the Golden Jubilee celebration of the founding of this school. It seems to be the divine order of Gods plan that at the end of nfty years we should remember His wonderful dealings with us. I shall refer a text to you on this subject. Deut. 32:7 reads. Remember the former days of old, remember the days of old. It is good for us to assemble tonight and remember the wonderful way in which God has dealt with us, how He has dealt with this school, and how He has used this school to bless the world through the students who have come here and obtained a training and gone out into the world. This school was founded nfty years ago among humble beginnings. But think what a mighty institution it has become, and what wonderful good it has accomplished in the world. These ideals. these principles for which this school has stood and which it has inculcated into the lives of the student body and its graduates, have left a great stream of blessings behind them. It doesen't take spacious buildings and fine equipment to make 39 ...-4 .: -... - 44.44, --4.4:-A-u s1u4L.1i1-m.-..344i u.Q w2-41'-.i.LI-Q-Q-9,lf -Ania-h4rGL.4.QgL.l.4lu.... ....-.....,,- -...,......- .....-T-.-f. a.--,...,- -.1--N .,--,-....-.m -- il - -A , I l t 1 unixcrsity is, ind ht replied 'Nlirk I-lopkins sitting on ont cnd of 1 log and James Cinrfield isla sttiflient t av- on thc othcr cnd of the log is a unixcrsity and think ie xx as riga .' f S I tl a ine school.

This school has a wonderful past. and I predict that it is going to have a still more wonderful future. This school has given a real aim to the students who have come under its influence. an aim that is worthy of living for. This school is a great school. I say great in the sense in which we count true great- ness. This school has a great mission and because it has a great mission, it is great in the sight of the Lord. This school has accomplished 'a wonderful work. I just want to show you what this school has accomplished. As I travel from place to place all the time, there isn't a state in these United States, or a conference, that I havent been in, and I have been in many other coun- tries outside of the United States, and everywhere I go I have found the students of South Lancaster. I have found them at the head of union conferences, the head of local conferences, in the faculties of those schools, at the head of other schools .... Yes. at home and in the foreign fields, wherever you go you find the students of this school .... Wherever you go, over to Europe, South America, or Africa, even in the islands of the Pacific or in India, everywhere you go, you find students from here doing the most efficient, successful work that is done by many of the workers in the Held: and for that reason, I say, Atlantic Union College has had a wonderful past. The work that I did here and the work that you as teachers are doing in this school is a work not for a day: it cannot be undone tomorrow by any man. You are building for eternity as you are putting into the lives and into the minds of these young people the ideals and the principles of a Christian education, thus preparing them for service for the Master in all the World. That cannot be undone. You are building not only for time but eternity. That is the noblest work that any mortal can engage in ..., U I want to tell you that you ought so to live in this life that the world will feel that it owes you a debt of gratitude for having lived in it. Unless that is your aim and purpose in life, your life is going to be a failure, and the world would have been better off if you hadn't lived in it. The object of life is not to make money, not to get an education to use for yourself: it is that you may do good to others and add to the sum of human happiness. To live for self is to perish, but to live for others is to live on and on with a luster that never dims. The secret of true happiness is never discovered by the in- dividual who is seeking for it. V God wants every youth, every person in this World to reach the highest attainments in life and the full measure of his potential capabilities. That is what God wants. the full measure. Anything less than that is not complete sefrvice and is robbing God of what he has equitable right to demand of ieach o' us. In closing my remarks let me congratulate you, Professor John and Mem- bers of the Faculty, for being at the head of this school at this time' for noth- ing can be more inspiring, more encouraging and give greater Satisfaction than to lead the body of students you have here in this school and have the privi- ing good teachers and good stud 40 9 A. .f kj, . if' mf pi' ,.z L. ,.. wc, lege of training them, preparing them for Christian service, for the inishing of this work of God in the earth. This work of preparing young men and young women, giving them the proper ideals and principles for which to live, is what is counted for eternity, You are not building for time, but you are building for eternity, and my wish and prayer is that the College which is celebrating its 50th anniversary tonight may go on and on and increase in 'its usefulness in training and preparing young men for efficiency and service for others, until it stands in the foremost rank of the colleges in our land. A fkjppieteciiaffaiioitit ln August, l885, after serving several years as a member of the faculties of Battle Creek College. the irst Seventh-day Adventist college. and of Healds- burg College, the second Seventhaday Adventist college, I became principal of South Lancaster Academy, retiring from that position in May, l888. Although l was educated in, and later administered the affairs of much larger. wealthier, and more widely known institutions of learning than South Lancaster Academy: yet, by reason of my fraternal association with my con- secrated fellow-teachers, earnest students, and co-operative board of trustees, the memories of my service therein are among the most precious of my long professional life. Such retrospect brings to me both gladness and sadness- gladness because of the exalted nature of mv work and the sacred friendships l there formed, and sadness because those dear days cannot come to me again. The ties that bind me to Atlantic Union College are, therefore, very durable, -strong. and tender: and l have ever been glad and grateful that to me was given the rare privilege of rendering to it some humble service in its formative period - its days of smaller things. Hence, when l received a cordial invitation to participate, on April lil, 1032, in the admirable exercises commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Atlantic Union College, l joyously accepted it. Fifty years ago, our fathers brought forth on this campus a new insti- tution dedicated to intellectual, moral, and spiritual culture. We are met to celebrate the important results of the efforts of those who gave their lives that their ideals might live. lt is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The good men and women, living and dead, who labored here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here: but it can never forget what they did here. lt is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unhnished work they so nobly began and which by their successors was so well continued and enlarged. lt is rather for us to be reconsecrated to the great task which yet remains before us, that from the honored dead we may take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. 41 .. ....--.-......,..-..-.....N..............-.... ....a:...d..

Neither its worthy President John. nor his devoted associate teachers, including my former pupil. Miss Purdon, nor Elder Miles and his bindery, seek or have sought the honor of men. Nevertheless, for my own pleasure. I commend and congratulate them all upon the invaluable results of their labors and sacrihces, which earry and have carried blessings to our own and many distant lands. In addition to the educational and ethical influence of the faculty, I was profoundly impressed by the inestimable material or financial service which Elder Miles has rendered to Atlantic Union College and many of its students. Never. since the dawn of history has the world possessed so much intel- lectual, ethical, and spiritual knowledge as now. Nevertheless, I believe that there has never been a time when at least Christendom has more grievously sinned than today. in the face of so much enlightenment. Although there yet remain many persons who are sincere and honest in heart, a majority of the world seems to have largely surrendered to selfishness in the forms of pleasure- madness, money-madness, social follies, shameless immodesty, debased standards of honor and respect between the sexes. degrading dramas and jazz music, pernicious literature, contempt for, or disregard of, spiritual ideals, political and commercial corruption, pseudo-patriotism, gross economic and even legalized injustice, general lawlessness, and excessive crime. In short, Christendom. has made incredible material but little or no moral progress. Hence, there was never greater need than now for the moral protection and guidance of youth in renned and righteous homes and schools. Not only for such reason, but glso for the promotion and diffusionof righteousness, spirituality, and unsel- sa brotherly love among both individuals and nations, is the Atlantic Union College needed. 'I greatly rejoice that it has been and will continue to be an incalculable blessing to the world. CHARLES C. Rai.-isav. Boston, Mass..

DIEEERENCE, SURVIVAL - LOVE The physical and psychical differences that exist between men are bio- logical phenomena which both bless and curse. The blessing is in the escape from a monotonous sameness. a world society made up of men and women of standard personal and individual qualities. The reality of life is extremely opposite. Vfe find ourselves members of a social world environment, with no two elements identical: an imbroglio of racial, national, cultural, and social anomalies. Out of this grows the curse of social, national and racial aristocracy, the curse of man's being unable to live with man. That some people consider themselves above contact with the environ- ment with which heredity has bequeathed them is due to the sin of vanity. Take a moral and occupative cross section of society. Begin with the zenith of ministerial requirements and descend to the nadir of criminality and moral turpitude. then remember that except for the grace of God the minister is as the least of these. Our particular capacities and achievements belong to Him in whom we live, and move, and have our being. The principles of pride, difference, and survival, curse not only society but also more dreadfully the sterner, more serious relations between nations and races. Pride impels them to demand apologies and Hght wars. Differences of race, religion, nationality, and culture keep men apart. Differences of in- terests and ways of thinking make them hate and kill each other. Survival causes them to transgress and seize without moral right. T. V. Soong. lVlinister of Einance of the Chinese National Government, through the medium of the Shanghai Peoples Trtbtme. expresses the curse of which l speak when he writes, Dur disillusionment has been complete. Pls from a nightmare we learn anew that as yet international agreements are of use only when backed by force .... lf China is to survive as a nation she must prove herself capable. She must become an adept at slaughter, She must put her national defense above all things. above public education, above commerce and industry. above democratic rule and civic rights: in fact, above all other considerations, for survival is the nrst law of nature. Peace conferences. diplomacy. and sagacity fail to ameliorate conditions rooted in six thousand years of sin. They merely defer the inevitable. The world reels and rolls with calamities born of hatred. Society has an irrepar- ahle caste system. lVlan is unable to live with man. The Christian principles of fraternity and equality have meager fertility on which to grow. These conditions render fitting our serious contemplation of a principle sublimeluy illustrated by .l. cl. Crittenden, a Kentucky lawyer of sixty years ago. He said. XVhen God conceived the idea of creating man, He called the three angels that waited on His throne. Justice.

W1LL1s Kmo. SALUTATGRY This occasion brings together for its last program, the college senior class of nineteen hundred thirty-two. Tomorrow we shall be graduated, and as the days go by we shall be more and more widely separated. Some of us will enter the organized work, some will continue their education while still others will find places of service in the various avenues of life. While this occasion to which we have looked forward for so long a time, brings us joy and happiness. we are not without emotions of a contrasting nature. The many friendships and associations that we have formed during the years that we have been here are hard to uproot. We are sad at the thought of breaking the ties that have made our stay in this village so pleasant. While parting must come, we appreciate the blessings of the present moment: we are glad to welcome you, for your presence makes this occasion that which it could not possibly be without you. You are the most important part of this Drogram. We are happy to see the faces of our loved ones: mothers and fathers who have struggled so hard that we might finish our education. To you, parents, is due the honor we shall receive on the morrow and to you we gladly give it. Never could we have enjoyed the privileges of this moment without your help. Surely it is unnecessary for us to say, A'You are welcome. We welcome you, teachers and members of our college board. Patiently have you labored in our behalf. You have torn down the impenetrable walls that guarded the knowledge that we cherished. We appreciate your efforts and the work you have done for us as a class, and as individuals. Schoolmates and friends, we shall not forget you. The years we have spent together have been the happiest ones of our lives. Our thoughts are replete with memories built around you, and we are glad to include you in the memories of this evening hour. He who said words are but feeble tools, uttered a truth that is keenly felt by the senior class tonight, for we are conscious that mere words cannot express the full measure of the welcome that is in our hearts. We are happy that you are here: we are made glad by your presence, and so, while words may lack the power that we desire them to have, with all our hearts we bid you WCICOIW- OLov BLOMQUIST 56 L M, sri llllisifroiry eiziiirtil 'Tis not alone in the honored annals of history, and the dreamings of seers and wise men that are found the ideals of the human race: nor yet the complete story of its great men, individuals who have stood apart from their fellows in qualities of leadership and scholastic attainment. Such, of whom it can truly be said that they were as kings among men, have not disappeared, but here and there can the flaming torch of leadership be seen aloft, often held in the unwavering, hopeful grasp of youth. Pew may aspire to the distinction of leadership as completely as the pres- ident of this fiftieth anniversary graduating class, Willis King, who is king indeed, by virtue of his name, class position, and last but by no means least, by reason of his birth in the good old Empire State. His travels in life consist of a visit to Canada, and one trip in which we are interested, that which brought him to A. U. C. via Union Springs. No one has been quite able to decide whether Willis was made for history, or whether history anticipated NVillis, but it stands without dispute that our president ranks as the schools foremost history student. 'MVC foresee him seated behind the pedagogues desk in some democratic schoolroom, patiently expounding to the unwilling ears of the younger generation the problems connected with the subject in which he is so vitally interested. During his four years of student life he has been connected with the Bindery, where for a while he was preceptor, and with the Adelphian Club, where his services as parliamentarian have been appreciated, ln fact, Roberts Rules of Grderf' and Vxfillis King are used almost synonymously. Tumbling and gymnastics comprise his hobby, and the fondness he displays for history is rivalled only by that which he manifests for ltalian spaghetti. Buffalo sent us a rare gift, when Evelyn Norcliffe, our vice president, came to college in order to learn the requirements for the Bible Vxfork. l-ler sweet. quiet ways have won for her a place in the hearts of her fellow students, and we know as she goes forth from the doors of Atlantic Union College to hll her niche in the worlds work, that friendly, sunny nature which she has manifested here, will win a welcome for her wherever she goes, and draw others to her as we have also been drawn. Gui' treasurer, Jack Nlacmillan. hrst observed the world in Macon, Cieorffia, 'TJ and he must have been quite satisfied with it, because he decided to travel a bit and get acquainted with its people and places.

Our valedictorian is noted as a writer, her description standing unexcelled by any other person. Some day Miss Jean will be a famous normal director. but just now she is planning to work her way to that goal via the church school route. Music predominates the quiet being of Edith Smith, who is another daughter of South Lancaster. She originally came from Medina. New York, and we fear that some day when she has made her mark in the world of music, both places will strongly claim her, even as we now proudly claim her as a member of our class. Yes, he knows the darkest moments of our lives, and with the merry jingle of his keys proclaims that all is well, and a sunny day is dawning. Just think of the miles and miles Laurence Myers walked while fulnlling the night watch- man's duties at Atlantic Union College during the past four years. He declares that he has become so fond of this kind of work that he is planning to continue his night prowlings in the capacity of a preceptor. 'Twas of Madge Myers that the poet wrote when he said, 'Beautiful hands are those that do Vifork that is earnest, brave, and true, Moment by moment the long day through. During her stay at Atlantic Union College, many a person has been made far happier through contact with Madge's never-ending source of cheering words and smiles. Each day has found this maiden from Wellsville, N. Y., busy and cheerful at her task of peeling her way through school, for the potatoes and apples consumed by the hungry Dormitory students have all felt the keen edge of Madge's knife. Her aim is to advance the truth through the means of teaching. Surely the inspiration of her wonderful Christian experience will be the means of winning many souls. A girl among girls and a right good sport is lrene Mason. She has lived 'neath the shelter of 3 Sawyer Street, and has received her education entirely on our campus. Only lrene dares climb the highest hills for tobogganing each winter, and few can claim to know the beauties of nature as does this lover of the woods and streams and flowers. She is also a musician, playing both the piano and the saxophone. Boston succeded well in raising Stanley Hull, for evidently it was felt that the golden anniversary MINUTEMAN would need a competent editor. Stanley received his Th. B. from this school several years ago, but just to prove the old adage that you cannot hold a good man down, he came back to Atlantic Union College after several years of ministerial experience, and now goes forth once more, a full-lledged Bachelor of Religious Education. He is going to be the head of a college Bible department, and then it will be a good opportunity for him to point out to his students that he made his start in life by selling papers at thirty-ive cents a week, and later clerking in a grocery store. Then too, where is the Dormitory student who wouldn't testify to Stanley's culinary ability. We claim for him the right to be known as the maker of the best brown bread in New England. 58 ,I f 515.

The girls of East Hall have known her as a helpful and friendly assistant preceptress. Among the incidents which she will be able to relate to her students one of these days when she will be queen of the schoolroom, is that she can clearly remember riding in a l9l6 Model T Ford - when it was brand new! Prom the verdant hills of Vermont we got Hubert Rowell, another history teacher in the making. The students of Atlantic Union College certainly ap- preciate the prompt way in which Hubert has helped to speed those letters homeward-bound, for he is the town's mail-carrier. ln his spare time he ob- serves nature and home economics. Although he was born in Maryland, the fact that his forbears came from Vermont and that his home is there now, marks Roy Pike as a son of the Green Mountain State. He is going to teach in the elementary schools. and perhaps will be a critic teacher in the near future. We know it won't be Roy's fault if some young hopefuls grow up minus the fundamental principles of education, because the determination with which he is fired, will cause him to labor firmly with the errant pupils. Wlaeii Marion Shelley came forth from the sheltering doors of Union Springs Academy, she was determined to become a teacher. but later exercised that divine right of women known as reconsideration, and studied to become a Bible worker. New York may well be proud of such a daughter, and we as her classmates are confident that the name Marion Shelley will shine brightly in the records of the faithful workers who have gone from the halls of Atlantic Union College. If Essex Junction, Vermont, could boast of no other virtue, surely it would he to the credit of the place to he known as the birthplace of l,uana Roscoe. l,uana intends to make herself famous in secretarial work. She was always an ardent lover of nature, and could frequently be seen prowling around the ad- jacent country, examining perhaps a cross-stone. or flower, or any other natural specimen which presented itself. THE MINUTIEMAN staff appreciated her serv- ices as a faithful proof reader, and the 1'CSt of the class knew her as a loyal, true- blue friend. From Staten lsland's rocky shores came Wallace Strachan in search of higher education. He looked about the world a hit before deciding to settle in South Lancaster. his travels taking him to parts of Canada and over most of the United States. At Atlantic Union College he has studied faithfully. until now with an optimistic outlook, he gazes on the field of teaching. kVe know for surety that he will carry that quiet. friendly spirit of his into the work he undertvkes. and be successful.

The portals of Greater New York Academy opened to allow her to pass on to higher and greater achievement, and now she stands ready. offering to the world her eternally happy personality fortined with a diploma, which proves that she is a competent secretary. H , i , Preceptor and preacher briefly state the capabilities of Maine s contribution to our class membership. Ralph Smart comes from the land overzowing with potatoes and pines and good-natured people: those who have come in contact with him have found him a friend indeed. He has untiringly served the Bindery boys in the capacity of caretaker. Perhaps it was due to his heavy duties that he succeeded in contracting a case of mumps a few weeks ago. Our class chaplain, Edward Richards, is a representative of New York City. Erom Harlem Academy he found his way to South Lancaster, and now, that we know him so well and feel the influence of his joyous nature, we are loath to see him go. Still, he has heard the call of service in the ministerial Held, and hastens to obey, New York City has played a great part in supplying members for the class of '32 lTwas from the bosom of the ancient New Netherlands that Astrid Vifendth, went to Union Springs Academy. When she completed her academy work, she chose Broadview College as the most suitable place for con- tinuing her education. NVe believe it was the lure of charming New England, with its manifold historical contributions which brought her to Atlantic Union College. Many a time have we listened as her nimble lingers danced over the ivory keys, producing soothing melodies. She loyally and faithfully did her bit for the class as associate editor of THE NTINUTEMAN, and we confidently say that a better preceptress and music teacher will be hard to find, Astrid Hrmly insists that she detests every science but the domestic, and it looks to the rest of us as though all things work for the best in some cases. A'You may live without friends, you may live without books, But civilized men cannot live without cooks. Thats the conclusion most of the college students have come to in regard to Helen Lawyer and Ruby Dougherty. The Dormitory folks have depended on the efforts of these capable girls to keep them well fed, and incidentally, a well fed person is a happy person. Both girls came from Union Springs three years ago, and now that they are both ready to ind their places as matrons and home economics teachers, we fear that the gap in the kitchen force, as well as in the student ranks, will be hard to fill. However, their merry laughter and jolly dispositions will spread that good New England sunshine wherever they are called to go. The sturdy old Bay State is not without its virtues. Petersham, Massa- chusetts cradled Elsie Sumner and her silvery voice, and then unselfishly lent her to South Lancaster, where she has now completed the Normal Course, and in former days a course in music. She has been one who firmly believed that life may be likened to a song, the duty of the person being to learn the tune of his life and then let God beat the time. The Normal girls have found in their older sister a trusted friend, a pleasant companion, and a competent sewing teacher. 60 f' i l a 5 fi? vi, 2 kg f f, when Umfm SPUUQS P0SSlblY Couldn't retain the pleasant, energetic person we know as Alberta Speer, it reluctantly yielded her to South Lancabster l Here she found for herself a permanent place in the hearts of her fellow students especially of those who work in the Bindery, where she is an indispensable worker in the office. Some employer will get a valuable stenographer for Alberta is now ready to follow that profession. O Y Note the thoughtful features of that young medicine man in the making, as he bends over the mysterious contents of the test tube. Yes, his name is Tom Nesbit. Gf course he's known far and wide as the man who made the lron Pence famous. Years ago, Newfoundland decided that she must be rep- resented in the fiftieth anniversary graduating class of Atlantic Union College, and so designated Port Aux Basque as the birthplace of Tom. He had reason to travel quite a bit around Canada and the United States before he finally found his home in New York State. There Union Springs Academy claimed him for a student, and when he had assimilated what the academy curriculum offered, he came to Atlantic Union College to satisfy the urge which bids him become a surgeon. Last but not least among his virtues is his uncanny ability to make a success of circulation campaigns, and this he has accomplished for both The Lcmcastrian and THE MINUTEMAN. His good nature seldom varies, however, it wouldn't be exactly ethical to coax his temper with either lettuce or P horns, for these, we understand, ind no favor with him. With ardent fervor has Esther Ferris pursued the Normal Course. The call of elementary teaching has rung in her ears while she has worked faithfully and patiently toward the fulfillment of that goal. She finds no idle moments in her' day, but can always be found busily engaged at her tasks, either at the Normal School or in the Bindery. The call of teachers' training proved to be the one which Gertrude Smith answered when she decided to prepare for her life work at Atlantic Union College. A more pleasant and helpful worker for children would be hard to produce. and it is the belief of her classmates that the annals of her profession will in the future years contain the name of Gertrude Smith as a prominent worker in that field, Massachusetts may justly be proud of her. 'Tis certain that the mellow tender voice of Archie Hairston could never have been, if the warm southern sunshine of his native Georgia hadnt inspired A his hne voice and his jolly, friendly, dis- position, who can predict anything but success for him in the field of medical evangelism?

Neither is it every class who can boast for one of its number the member of a state championship volley ball team. With sunshine in her dusky eyes, and laughter on her lips, came the energetic and friendly Beulah Harmon from New York. Bent on securing a normal certificate was this enthusiastic young lady, and now she looks the world squarely in the eye and proclaims her desire to teach children. Dur wish for her is a schoolroom full of lively boys and girls, but we hope with her that it will not be a rural district where cows are wont to wander at will, for there this intrepid young woman admits her Waterloo. The call of the wild lures William Greene, and when he cannot resist the call of nature, he takes for companions his trusty dogs and fares forth to tryst with his friends, the trees, and birds, and flowers. Probably few know as much about the beauties of this part of the country as William, who is a son of the land. Loma Linda is his goal, and when he shall emerege possessing an M. D., we hope he will combine his knowledge of nature and medicine and make this world a happier and healthier place. Among the sons of South Lancaster, looms the tall Hgure of Irwin Walker, who is also working his way toward that coveted medical degree, while run- ning the linotype in the print shop and tinkering with the Adelphian Club's moving picture machine. The same care with which he sets his type, charac- terizes in a vague way the care he will use while setting the pain-racked and broken bodies of his fellow men, when he has realized the goal of his calling. From Quaker Bridge came a farmer lad, anxious to secure an education. At Union Springs he caught a vision of a future in the medical work, and to this end he has directed his energies. Chemistry has been his favorite subject, and when he wished diversion, the poetic muse was his to command. ln the Held of medicine we expect to see the name of Raymond Cmrantier, M. D., playing a prominent part. To another maiden from the portals of Greater New York Academy has the vision of the future displayed a pedagogical aspect. 'Tis Jane Ross whose quiet, courteous, pleasant ways have won for her a host of friends, and their best wishes for her future work. She was always full of fun and unusual plans that probably accounted for the fact that she was such an enthusiastic member of the Social Activities Committee. Chester Mason is a classmate who has completed the literary course and now plans to teach. l-le is noted for his hobbies, which are radio construction and photography, 'and for those happy, friendly qualities which he has shown to all around during the many years he has been connected with this school and town. From 'the banks of the storied Hudson comes the only girl who is taking the premedical course, Dorothy Cary. A better, more dependable friend than Dorothy would be hard to find. Her helpful ways have endeared her to all with whomlshe has worked, be it in classes, in the Bindery, or at the Dormitory. She ranks high as a Christian, student, and all around good sport.

After her graduation from Greater New York Academy, our secretary. Nlarie Varonen, brought to Atlantic Union College her laughing disposition. New York City being her home, it is only natural that she should dislike cows and hens. The hustle and bustle of the subways are far more musical to her ears than the moo of the cow or cackle of the hen, lf desire and circumstance coincide, we may eXpect our secretary to be the teacher of some urban or agrarian group of boys and girls, Thus passes in review the fiftieth anniversary graduating class of this school, pledging itself to fidelity, and service.

'What more assurance did they need, those faithful eleven, than this given that glorious day of early summer on the grass-carpeted hillside of Galilee? The peaceful fields of green grain waved below them in the valley. Shepherds pastured their flocks in calm content on the surrounding uplands. Clouds drifted lazily through that oriental sky. Among the multi-colored flowers droned the bees, and from near by laughed a sparkling, gurgling mountain stream. The leaves of the olive trees scarce stirred as the soft hot breath of the desert caressed them. 'With such surroundings, how could they know, those first foreign mis- sionaries, what these words would mean to them, how they would cling to them, cherish them? How could they see, as did their Master, the storm which was about to break, striving to engulf them? lt was no easy task for which He had chosen and trained them. They were to perpetuate the work which He had begun,- for which He had left His position of honor with His own Father, the ruler of the Universe, to enter and become a native of a strange and rebellious planet, and to teach a still stranger creed. That challenge spoken there in old Judea has rung through almost nine- teen hundred years, and that same Master of the strange creed has called all, young and old, even as He called John, the youth, and Peter, the man. Pi multitude has hastened to answer, and the cross, His cross, has been borne by willing hands throughout the centuries, a torch to light the world.

On the mountains of Antrim a slave looked across the lrish sea to his home on the Solway. 'He thought of his Christian parents meeting in their tiny chapel, then of his pagan master and he saw his duty. l-le could have returned to peace and security but he chose to remain. Pearlessly he carried the light of truth and challenged Druid worship, the power of which Patrick lived to see shattered in all lrelandf' lnto the middle ages Europe plundged: into the depths of darkness and despair: church ridden, fear tormented. , Through the valleys of the Alps the challenge rang - Go ye - Co ye and teach all nations. Those peasants who Hhad clung closely to the primitive faith met and answered it. They filled Europe to overflowing with their representatives. See the lads of the Reformation answer the challange of that call. Vxfith packs of Bibles on their backs they distribute the Scriptures over the very same lands which the Waldensian youth traversed centuries before. Hear them as the flames leap high about the stake comfort each other with those blessed words- Lo, l am with you alway, even unto the end. Under the rough overhanging edge of a haystack nve consecrated young men bowed in prayer-about them the elements warred. Thunder rolled and streaks of lightening ripped the sky. They prayed on. Today the world honors that haystack prayer meeting as the birthplace of American foreign missions. As the missionary zeal flamed high and burst from the Apostolic church surrounding it with a blaze of Heavenly glory, so the remnant church of the last generation, with its message of the three angels, stands against the evening sky in a dazzling radience of light. The first in this powerful movement to answer the summons of the Ciospel commission was John N. Andrews who left our own Lancaster for Switzerland in eighteen seventy-four. l-lis departure marks the opening of the most extensive missionary campaign of this present age. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations. Cut near the main street of South Lancaster in a little, shabby carriage house, on Elder l-laskell's meadow, a man with a vision of that challenge, Professor Goodloe l-larper Bell, opened the hrst school session of Atlantic Union College. As he gathered the few lads and lassies about him, a sense of the world's great need was throbbing in his heart. This was the purpose of the founding of our college. lt has never failed or fallen short of that standard. Witlain four years after its establishment this institution sent out its first student missionary, Miss Carrie Mace, who, with its principal and wife. Profes- sor and Mrs. Dores A. Robinson, set sail for Africa. The years as they have passed have swelled the number until now we point to more than one hundred sixty names for Ciod's honor roll. I I Behold the world.

Fellow classmates, tonight we are standing at the portals of decision. Before us stretches the vast unknown. Cn one hand bids the world. It calls, it pleads, it allures. It has much to offer the ambitious youth of today. Its splendors are such as will fairly dazzle. It holds forth wealth, fame, ease and pleasures. The scarred hands of the Master extend none of these. His way is straight and narrow and rough,- but the end thereof is life. A' Whosoever shall come after me, let him take up his cross and follow me. -His cross and ours. 'A Go ye? Go ye therefore. There is work for every one of us in the vineyard of the Lord. The Master must have our youth, our talents and our consecrated service. Parents, you who have inspired in us the desire to live, to serve: you who have set before us so worthy an example of faith and sacriliceg you to whom our answer to the great Kings call may bring much pain: we appreciate all that you have done for us and are to us. We are happy that tonight is your night as well as ours. May God bless you. Members of the faculty, we honor you. It is futile to endeavor to express our appreciation for your services. You have trained us even as they trained the youth of old in Alexandria, to go forth wherever He may lead: to serve wheree ever He may place us and in whatever lot we are therewith to be content. Friends and neighbors, you have given us your interests and kindly support in the many endeavors of our school life. You have opened your homes and extended to us the hospitality known only in Old New England. As we leave this quaint little village we shall carry pleasant memories of you, and we would like you to know that: i'When others are counting their blessings We ind ourselves placed with the few Who are richer by far than the millions, For we are thankful for just knowing you. Fellow students, to you this day the clarion call rings clear and strong, sounding through the ages. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost . . . and 10 I gm with you alway, even unto the end of the world. i JEAN SMITH. 4 W-.-ww -1-Ttmw...,az..HW...t.. s..m.tr,,,r,,t-- .mwwmmt do i . - .4121-1 .. nm.-f,:a,r:a.1 HYLSZ-27,32-Gzqfewzxzrvi-zmfg.-.1-a.1 1 m1-.m..1r....,w..2- 66 Sf?

One by one the boys left' home and took to the sea. One day the youngest said, Mother, I am going to sea, too. It was more than she could bear, and she said, Jamie, why do all my boys, even you, leave home and mother for a sailor's life? Looking into her eyes, he replied A' Mother. see that picture that has hung above our nreplace all these years? 'NVhat boy could look always at that beautiful full rigged ship and the sparkling water splashing over its bow, without feeling the call of the sea? I must go: I have to gol It has long been the custom of the senior classes to choose a motto. 'la short suggestive expression of a guiding principle, that. like the picture of the ship. if kept before the mind, will become a motivating power in the beholder's life. As all classes have done before, this class of l932, looking into the future and determining to be the best class ever graduated from this school, have chosen a motto that we feel holds out to us, in its accomplishment, the reward of eternal life: a motto, the influence of which will determine our future. as the silent influence of the picture of the ship directed the future of the seven sons. Let us consider its meaning. A' Servir, Lever, Ameliorerf'-To Serve, to Lift, to Improve. Servirf- to serve. To serve what? Pt senior class always stands at the parting of the ways. The world holds out a beckoning hand for the service of our every talent in exchange for vvordly honor and sordid gold. On the other hand, the field of the Lord is whitening for the harvest, and He needs laborers. Wlaicla way shall we take? Wlaicla master shall we serve? 'I'he very fact that we as a class have turned from worldly ambition and have come to a Christian school for a Christian education, answers the question. This choice indicates that we have taken the road for the service of Cod. And what is the service of Cod? Is it not the complete forgetfulness of self for our brothers? And are not our brothers those for whom God gave His only begotten Son, who as yet do not know Him? Qui' service is to tftttut-C to brighter worlds and lead the way. We realize that to work successfully for God. we must work with Cod. In working with Him, we accept the qualities of His character- gentleitess. kindness, meekness, and willingness to forgive. If these virtues. absorbed into our lives, are faithfully lived up to. we shall. in the living. render to Him our xery greatest service in behalf of humanity: for Christian influence will lead more men to Christ than anything else in this world. Many years ago the Duke of Lunenburg ordered a burning lamp to be stamped upon his coin, with these words: Aliis serviens meipsum conteron thy giving light to others. I consume myselfu. Vxfe are Gods lightbearers. lf the Duke of Lunenburg thought this to be the duty of a prince. how much more should we. who by adoption are brothers of Prince Immanuel. surrender our lives to light the way for others. XVe should make the sacrihce with cheerfulness, knowing that it will not be in vain in the Lord. 75 .,.. ,1-.,- - .... . --...4.aa....ua -....vL..' -A .........- -..-A.--,.Nu1aq4-. :bk.vi...

There is but one answer to this question for the Christian---the cross of Christ. But what is this cross of Christ? He bids us to bear one another's burdens. ln the story of 4' The Other 'XVise lVlan, there was a fourth who would have joined the three magi in bearing gifts across the desert sands to Bethlehem, that they might present them to the King. But again and again his way was blocked by duties to his needy fellow men: and he found that his friends had gone on to Judea without him. It was not until many years later that he reached Jerusalem. an old man, disappointed and discouraged because his life's hope, to offer this gift to the King, had not been realized. At last, when death was near, he found Jesus and learned the full meaning of those words, H lnasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me. There are two classes of burdens. ln these days of financial depression we have only to stand a few minutes in a crowded city street, to see the worried faces, the furrowed brows, and the careworn gait of business men who are grappling with problems far too heavy for human beings to solve. Men's hearts are failing them for fear because of it. But something magical and startlingly strange happens to the burdens of the Christian, for as soon as he stoops to lift the load, lo, the weight disappears! He is not lifting the weight at all, but Jesus is doing it for him. Yes, so we must lift the burdens of others, and it pays. Ame1iorer - to improve. To improve what? We have been told that higher than any human thought can reach is God's ideal for His children. The talents He has given to us, He has charged us to improve. That is why we are here tonight, and why this school was established. We shall be held accountable for every opportunity to improve ourselves. The wise man bids us to get wisdom and with all our wisdom to get understanding, for it is better -than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared with it. However, there are two motives for improving ourselves by education. A young man was once heard to say, I have all l can do to get myself ready for the kingdom without spending any efforts on others. He tried. He spent years of his life in study in this country and abroad: he spent more years in visiting foreign lands, that his life might be made richer and more enviable. Self-centered as he was, he failed to see his own shrunken soul. 'When he died, there was no one to mourn, or to say, He was my friend. No, the true motive for improvement is not a selfish one. God gives great gifts to men to be bestowed On others - He makes men stewards, not of gold alone, But of love and truth and talents, rare and varied, And when they are given to the humble heart, Men give again to God the gift He gave. Classmates, we have voted unanimously to accept this motto as our guiding principle for all time, and we cannot disclaim it. May it not be as many a motto has been. merely a form to decorate our programs and emblazon the walls of this chapel. But we must take it with us: we must through life serve our fellow-men, lift our fellow-men, and improve our fellow-men that the world may be the better for our having lived! DONALD Nl. HODGKINS. 76 Q. ...lf Satlltuitfaiifioirfy There come times in' each life when it is fitting to pause and give a backward glance, that' one may gain new inspiration for the onward march. To such a time as this we are brought this evening, as we reach the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of our beloved Academy. Qur minds turn back almost with reverence to those God-fearing men and women whose faith and prayers, coupled with their earnest, self-sacrificing efforts, laid the foundations of South Lancaster Academy. Truly it may be said of them, They may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. But upon you, Mr. President and Members of the Board, has been laid the responsibility of carrying forward the work which they so nobly began. To you, this evening, the Class of l932 extends greeting, knowing that you stand back of this school, guarding with the same Zeal and guiding with undiminished interest, even through trying experiences, the institution which is so dear to all of us, and for which our pioneers sacrificed so much that it might be brought into existence. To the Members of the Faculty, our teachers one and all, we extend welcome. This evening our minds turn back to your faithful and patient dealings with us, We have found help and uplift from our contact with you and have felt, too, your genuine sympathy with all our student interests. Although we may forget much of text-book lore in the years to come, we trust we shall never forget those truths which you have implanted in our hearts, truths which shall, if allowed to expand, develop the truest manhood or womanhood in each life, During the past four years we have sought counsel and assistance from you, who have ever been willing to bestow it. How well you have discharged your responsibility, the present but faintly reveals: the future alone will tell how well and faithfully you have labored in our behalf. We trust our lives of usefulness may bring to you reward for your efforts. To you, Parents, this evening, the Class of l93Z extends a most hearty welcome, for it is your prayers and sacrifices which have to a great extent made this evening possible. Vwfe know you have watched our course with the deepest interest, have rejoiced at our successes, have grieved at times as you have seen our wavering footsteps: but we trust that this evening you may see some fruitage from the seed sown: that you will find your reward as you see us, your sons and daughters, seeking to 'lmake the most of ourselves, but not for ourselves. Freely we have received, freely may we give. And there is another to whom our graduating class would not forget to extend greeting. From the depths of grateful hearts we thank the one who has provided a means, through the bindery, by which many of this class. as well as hundreds of other students. have been enabled to maintain themselves while completing their course in this school. It is, to a great extent, to you we owe the privileges we have enjoyedithe privilege of fitting ourselves for a place of usefulness in the closing work of God in the earth. May you ever be able to look with feelings of satisfaction upon the course of those whom you have been able to assist in preparing for their life work. 77 .... .....: . -.. ......444..44- --4.14.1 br.4..i.-,-..-Li-,yQ--4.i +aN..1,. .-..-..-r-.-,-.........p.f-r..,p.r-Q... .......-. .ij v:x , V, A, f X523-'if Fellow Students, we are glad to greet you here this evening and bid you a hearty welcome. We enjoyed our association with you in the days that are past: and as we come to the bend in the road this evening, the end of our Academy course, we pause for a moment to look back, and we realize as never before what this association has meant to us. During these four years we have learned to know and value one another. We want you to know how much we appreciate your thoughtful consideration of us, your cheering words of encouragement, when tha way has been diflicult. lt is so easy for us as students, to feel that we could make such a great success of life if we had a different sphere assigned to us. However, J. G. Holland reminds us that, ln the blackest soils grow the fairest flowers, and the loftiest and strongest trees spring heavenward among the rocks. lWe each need to realize that what we deem limitations or obstructions are just what we most need. What we call hindrances, obstacles, discouragements. are really Gods opportunities. Opporttznz'tz'es! How much is bound up in that magic word, Une writer has told us that Gpen eyes will discover opportunities everywhere: open ears will never fail to detect the cries of those who are perishing for assistance: open hearts will never want for worthy objects upon which to bestow their gifts: open hands will never lack for noble work to do. If this has been true in the past, how much more is it true today. Surely this is a day of privilege for us as young people, and our duty is measured only by our opportunity, As another has said, W'e have come to no ordinary hour, but to an hour that is magnined in its opportunity, and intensihed in its responsi- bility, and sanctified in its inestimable privilege: because we have come in such a time as this and for such a time as this, -the most thrilling hour of all the world's history, when history is about to end. We trust that, as we go forth, the aim of each member of this class of '32 shall be not to live for his own selfish ends but to be quick to seize every opening to bring light and truth to others, and to help them in their struggle to live better lives, On the prairies of South America there grows a flower that always inclines in the same direction. lf a traveler loses his way and is without chart and compass, he may turn to this flower and find an unfailing guide: no matter how the winds may blow, its leaves always point to the north. So may we, the members of this class, have a purpose so steadfast, and an aim so constant that no matter what difliculties we shall meet, it may be known with a certainty where we shall be found. As we step through the gateway tonight, we would go forth bravely, with la full realization of all that will be expected of us. We trust that we may emulate the lofty principles that have been held before us during our school life here. Again l extend to you, one and all, in the name of the Class of l932, our most sincere welcome. RITA BICKNELL 78 0 . Pj. ' ,..i:..-, i 1 , I Aftatiedliiroittoiey A LIFE OF USEPULNESS yi Itiwas just an old carriage shed to begin with, standing in the rear of Elder l-lalskell s home on the corner of Narrow Lane and Main Street. and it little realized back in the seventies what the future held for it. Its Hrst step toward fame was taken when the good people of this village moved it westward to a spot opposite our present church and used it for a few years as a meeting house. After the congregation increased, the poor little shed was superseded by the larger place of worship across the street. Elder S. N. Haskell, the leader of this little company of Seventh-day Adventists, can truly be called the father of South Lancaster Academy: for it was he who led the movement which finally established our school. NVe are told that at one time he felt such a burden for this enterprize that he spent days on yonder Mount Wacliusett, that he might be alone to seek God for help and direction. Like our Pilgrim Fathers, who realized the importance of education. and planted the church and schoolhouse side by side, so these early pioneers of our faith, after erecting their church, saw the necessity of a training school where their young people could be educated: where the Vvlord of God could be made a part of their daily study: where they could prepare for a life of usefulness to God and man. Money at that time was scarce, but faith was strong. There was much prayer and great sacrifice before sufficient funds were raised to open their school on April 19, l88Z. Again our little traveler, the carriage house, comes to the front, and is found where Mr. l-lanaford's store now stands. This time it has the high honor of housing the first session of South Lancaster Academy. Eighteen students gathered that April morning, just hfty years ago, under the leadership of Prof. Cioodloe Harper Bell. The following September there were eighty young men and women gathered to begin their Christian training, and another teacher, Miss Edith Sprague, was made necessary. And now, too small for such a company, our little shed was abandoned as a temple of learning and moved again. This time it found a resting place between the two houses next to the church, which were used as dormitories. and many lads and lassies entered it with expectant looks and emerged with contented expressions on their faces, for the building was now serving as a dining hall. ln 1884 when Elder D. A. Robinson became the principal. people began to realize that the school was here to stay, and that more commodious buildings must be provided.

The little paper carried its message through the Union for four years. ' I 1 V ln May of 1886 South Lancaster Academy contributed its first missionary to foreign fields, when Miss Carrie Mace sailed with Elder and Mrs. D. Robinson for South Africa. Miss Mace's name was the Iirst of the long list on our honor roll that has made our school a real missionary college. I ln 1885 Professor Charles C. Ramsay of Healdsburg College, California. became principal, Up to this time the curriculum consisted mainly ,of Bible and English grammar, but now a four year high school course was laid out, a small library added, and industries provided. I 1 The daily routine was a strenuous one: the rising bell rang at 5 A. M., the school session lasted from 7:45 A. M. till 2 P. M. Eour hours of supervised study were required of all students, and two hours of domestic work were done by each student without pay. There were no suppers served. 1 ln spite of all this, the enrollment increased until a new dormitory had to be provided. lt was a four story building, standing on the site of the Bird Museum. The curved brick walk leading to the Museum is the only trace left of East Hall, Since that time faculties have changed, students have come and gone, and great changes have taken place in the status of the school. Most of us are familiar with its later history, and we are proud today of Atlantic Union Col- lege, bigger and better than ever in its history. But you are asking, What became of the old carriage shed? O, after it ceased serving as a dining hall, it moved again across the street next to Mr. George Mason's, and its front door proudly bore the sign, 'iprinting Office. Here the students learned the printer's trade: but in a few short years the work outgrew its quarters, and like the Chambered Nautilus, i'Left the past year's dwelling for the new, Built up its idle door, Stretched in its last found home, And knew the old no more. Again the carriage shop was moved, this time to within a few feet of the place where' it iirst came into fame as a temple of wisdom. Buildings have grown uparound it, until the passer-by is unaware of its existence: but it is still useful in its old age as the press-room of the South Lancaster Printing Company. The old door that swung open to those eighteen students fifty years ago, may still be seen at the Sawyer Street entrance of Mr. Donald Smith's home. 1 And now, fellow classmates, as we part, may we each learn a lesson from this little 'carriage house. 'May we, like it, be humble and unassuming, doing what is given us to do faithfully and well.

VL f 1 Y- ri. :Lrg j: QL. ,annmfqk Two score and ten years ago our grandfathers established in this town a school conceived with the idea and dedicated to the proposition that all Christian young people should have the privilege of obtaining a Christian education. Now we have come here tonight to proclaim to the world that a school so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met here in this chapel where many such scen-es as this have taken place before. We are met here to dedicate ourselves to the work of giving the Gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. It is only fitting and proper that we should dedicate ourselves at this time. But, although we dedicate ourselves, it is not in our power to dedicate, to consecrate, to hallow this spot. The brave and earnest men, living and dead, who have struggled to build this school have, through Cod's spirit in their hearts, consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. Friends, you will little note nor long remember what we say here, but you must never forget what this school stands for here. It is for us, the young people, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which our sires have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to be dedicated here to the great task remaining before us - that from these men, honored of God, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion: that we here highly resolve that these men shall not have builded in vain: that this class, under Ciod, shall have a new vision: and that the name of this school of Christians, established by Christians, and for the education of Christians, shall not be stained or blotted by the members of this graduating class. ,li.L...i. - South Lancaster Academy has given me a higher, nobler vision: it is the road that leads to the fulfillment of these high ideals. Lenna Morris lt was in South Lancaster Academy many years ago, through the inspiration of faithful teachers, that I first caught a glimpse of the need of an education. It was they who taught me that all-important lesson, how to study: here I found the value of good books: and here it was that I came to know and love the Great Teacher, who has given us all a hope for a place in the school of the hereafter. For all this I bring my tribute to my Alma Mater on her golden anniversary' RGNK'QH3 PUFCIOH '88 Old South Lancaster Academy gave me an inspiration in life that still lingers with fond memories for the school and especially the faculty members ol' l894-l897.

The young people of the Atlantic Union Conference are fortunate in having a college in their midst, where they may advance their education and better fit themselves for life's duties and for Gods service. lt is gratifying to see the growing interest in college work as is revealed in the steady increase in college enrollment during the past few years. A high school or academy education gives a student an excellent intro- duction to the various fields of knowledge. lt brings him in contact with several branches of learning: it enables him to try out his interests and aids him in making decisions regarding his life's work. The college is designed to enrich further the student's education by deeper study in general fields already explored, and to give opportunity for more intensive study in subjects which are of special interest and value. The powers of reflective thinking and balanced judgment are increased, thus equipping the student to face problems with confidence of success. As never before the cause of God needs men and women who can think clearly, make right decisions and accomplish that which they set out to do. College life, with its activities and contacts, is a winnowing process. sifting out much worthless chaff from the life and more fully revealing its kernel of possibilities. Many an unpromising youth. after a period of study and labor in college, discovers his talents. develops them, and steps out at the end of his course into a wider field of service. ln order to meet the needs of our young people more fully the Board and Faculty of Atlantic Union College are constantly endeavoring to strengthen its work by providing thorough instruction, ample laboratory equipment, a growing library, labor facilities, and a strong spiritual atmosphere. We invite young men and women of high purpose to equip themselves with a college education. O. M.

COURSE ln the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six an act authorizing the Atlantic Union College to grant the Degree of Bachelor of Religious Educa- tion was enacted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, The course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Religious Education gives opportunity to the student in a Christian college to obtain a liberal arts course along with religious and Biblical instruction. The name of the degree itself is significant and we are glad that we have such a school as Atlantic Union College, where the principles of Christian education are not sacrificed for worldly standards, and where full Bible credit is given. Each student desiring this degree is required to major and minor in some particular subjects. For the student's major, thirty semester hours in one department are required, and for the minor, twenty hours. The subjects are chosen in counsel with the head of the major department and the registrar. The work of the major and minor may be taken in the following departments: Bible and Evangelical, Education, History, English, Science, Language Cin not more than two languagesj, Music, and Commerce. Electives are permitted in this course as in the other degree courses. These may be chosen from the following departments: Bible, English, Science, Language, Mathematics, Normal, Music, Evangelical, Commerce, Home Economics, EX- pressionn, Vocational, and Denominational Endeavor. This degree of Bachelor of Religious Education is conferred on those having completed satisfactorily the four-year general course as outlined in the school catalogue. 88 s Q 5 1 if 4 fff ' 1: if 4143, y ffl g?7' fayyf g T- Wil MaQ...WQ ,M,., ,,,, A i .. , ,-ax fi bl A I 1:51, ,f' 'fe' 'W j f' ,4-N, MM T I as Q 1 ..,,- g.,.4-....,,,M,-my Za 'f,. r Gf, A 'V - ' ff'-k - 'N-:- ..,-. 15 L. TH. B. COURSE The theological course given in this College does not make ministers of those who register in the department. But the earnest student of vision with reasonable intelligence and a purpose to qualify himself for Gods work will Hnd here an excellent refining pot as a pre-requisite for such a noble calling as the ministry. The conscientious student will appreciate the faithfulness and earnestness of the Dean whose burden for those he instructs is ever self-evident. With the Bible as the text-book, the student is made to see the hand of God in all ages - past, present, and future. And to prospective ministers the seriousness of the work is so strongly emphasized that everyone realizes a high sense of respon- sibility. The principles of an enlightened ministry are imparted, which, if rightly absorbed, will equip the godly student with an aggressive and defensive weapon which shall not make him ashamed or afraid. No one pursues this course as though blind-folded. Facts are made to stand out in vivid and living garments which to see is to revivify the great plan of salvation in Jesus Christ, the conflict between light and darkness, the awfulness of sin, man's obligation and relationship to Christ, and the positive and undeniable soon return of the King of kings. One must feel indebted to the Theological department of this college for the privileges and advantages it affords, l-le will appreciate the vision of life that is given here, and the awakening consciousness of a great responsibility to his fellow men 89 :,. T necessar wiiqyq PROFESSIONAL COURSES he student who does not wish to remain in college the four years y to get a degree, may avail himself of the professional or junior college courses which also fit one for a career. The junior theological courses offered are Ministerial Training, Bible Workers', and Gospel Workers'. The Gospel Workers' Course is of but one year's duration. The Premedical Course holds an important place in A. U. C. The ultimate aim of Loma L the premedical student is to enter the College of Medical Evangelists at inda, California, and complete the Medical Course there. The commercial department offers the Commerce, Secretarial, and Business Administrative courses to those who desire to lit themselves for business positions in the Lord's Work. The teachers of the church schools and academies in the Atlantic Union are chosen f T. rom the graduates of the Normal Course. ae student who is musically inclined, is offered either the Conservatory of Piano or Conservatory of Voice Course.

During the years the Academy has kept its identity even though it has grown to Lancaster Junior College and then to Atlantic Union College. At present it is an important department of the College with a separate faculty. ln the Academy a substantial foundation is laid upon which a college edu- cation can be built. Old and New Testament history acquaints the student with the fundamental truths of the Bible. Here it is that the student surveys the broad nelds of history and literature. and gets his start in mathematics. music, and science. The study of the activities of the pioneers of this message as it sweeps into the great world Held inspires loyalty and confidence in the hearts of our young people. lt is during the years spent in the Academy that the life purposes are formed. Subjects can be selected which will fit the students to take courses in preparation for the ministry. the medical profession, nursing. teaching. or ofhce worlt. For those with a practical turn of mind vocational subjects are given. including cooking and sewing for young women. and carpentry and printing for young men. I. A. Anxiswaovo Principal.

Firmly believing in an educational system which produces a body of symetrically educated youth, that of proportionally educating the head, the heart, and the hand, Atlantic Union College has enlarged its industrial features until at the present time forty-five per cent of the student body are working their entire way through school, be- sides many who are earning part of their expenses. This means that over half of the money taken in at the business office comes from the remuneration received by the students for manual labor. These opportunities for work are distributed over a large and varied field. The printing department has grown from several small job presses, to a well equipped plant, regularly employing seven or eight students. The carpentry department offers work to about ten young men, and the general repair work about the College buildings during the school year and summer vacation. is done only by students. The Student Bindery, operated, by Mr. E. E. Miles. has given employ- ment to one-third of the entire student body. The art of boolabinding and printing is taught. as well as the making of small novelties.

Several are meeting their expenses by domestic work in private homesi Each year the per cent of those nnancing themselves through school grows larger. New plans are being formulated by the school and student body to make it possible for a still larger number of earnest young men and women who are dependent upon their own resources, to obtain a Christian education. THE STUDENT BINDERY Atlantic Union College owes its past fifty years of successful maintenance as an institution of learning to many vital factors, one of which is the Student Bindery. lt was established in 1903, through the sacrifices and efforts of Elder E. E. Nliles. The object of establishment was to afford an opportunity to those who desire to it themselves for service by securing a Christian education. This Nlay will complete twenty-nine years of service in the Lords work. At present about eighty students, or nearly one-third of the entire enrollment of the school, are connected with this institution. We call ourselves the Bindery Family, and each morning the entire shop listens attentively to a chapter of Gods Word, which is followed by prayer. I believe this daily benediction of God upon the common things of life is the cause of our prosperity. By this it is evident that we educate not only mind and hand but also the heart. We have incidentally been afforded an auditorium with excellent acoustic properties. By the ringing of an electric bell an audience, composed of the bindery workers, is gained in a few seconds. Witlaout loss of time to ourselves, we frequently hear from returned missionaries and conference ofncials, and ministers, some of whom were once workers here. The proprietor of the Bindery, Elder E. E. Miles, frequently favors us with a talk. The Bindery has taken a definite part in Christian activity by the organiza- tion of a Signs Club, through which three hundred copies of the Signs of ine Times are sent out weekly. Some of the readers have already accepted the truth and have become church members. Despite hard times the Student Bindery has not fallen back in the en- deavor to provide student labor and has the unusual record of never having laid off a regular worker at any time. The prnicipal productions are vest pocket dictionaries, diaries, photograph and autograph albums, as well as scrap, memorandum, and address books. ln addition to the bindery work proper, considerable construction has been fostered. Adjoining the original shop we have a new two story addition, the combined floor space of which is nve thousand square feet. A new electric freight elevator i E. i s V. E l li. li ir ii if I was erected to the addition and also an ample platform that aids in the handling of our stock. I have tried to give the reader a conception of the purpose, aim and worl-. of the Bindery. May it be that the prayers of those who have heard of our work shall be with us in our endeavor to afford opportunity for still others to lit themselves for. and take part in, finishing the work of God in all the earth.

PRINTING DEPARTMENT l With the discontinuing of the old Hartford Academy at the time of the combining of the Massachusetts and Southern New England conferences, it was decided to move its printing equipment to South Lancaster and establish the College Press. At that time the entire equipment consisted of two platen presses, an old, paper cutter, and a varied assortment of type. The first year there were three employees. Since that time there has been a steady growth. The second year a small automatic cylinder press, a linotype, and a folder were added, with a further increase of the working force. The production of TheLa,ncastrz'an and the Gleaner commenced that year. Since then a new paper cutter, and a wire stitcher have been added, and last fall a Nliehle cylinder press was secured through the kindness of a patron of the school. Erom the original force of three, the number regularly employed reached eleven during the past school year. Since the department was started, over thirty students have been given employment, several having worked their entire way through school. The Laneastrian, Gleaner, and MINUTEZvIAN are printed regularly, as well as a great deal of miscellaneous job work. THE COLLEGE EARM The farm department is a very progressive industrial branch of the College. About twenty-five acres of land are put under cultivation each year, most of the produce being cattle feed which is used in the dairy. The dairy is an excellent one, and its growth has been rapid. A number of heifers are being raised, which will be a valuable addition to the regular herd. Some of the milk produced is used by the College, but most of it is sold at wholesale. The farm has added a greenhouse to its buildings this year. This will provide fresh vegetables for the College kitchen at all seasons of the year. Modern machinery and up-to-date equipment are used on the farm. A new model A Eord truck has been recently purchased for this department. This industry offers a splendid opportunity for industrious students who like out-door work and who also desire to work a large part of their way through college. Une who works on the farm is able to acquire a general knowledge of agricultural methods. which form a practical supplement to theoretical school studies.

CARPENTRY DEPARTMENT One of the very interesting departments of the college is the woodworking Shop, which offers employment to eight young men. To five of these the department furnishes sufficient work during the school year to pay from one-half to two-thirds of their expenses. No-t onlylare theseistudents helped in a financial way, but they also receive a practical training, which is one of the major aims of education. I Besides doing the regular repairs oflthe school which .occupy the greater portion of the time, several industrial projects have been carried on. Hundreds of folding chairs were made for the school: the library was completelyiequipped with regular straight-back chairsp and recently a sample order of rocking chairs was made. A number of rooms in the dormitory have been fitted with book- cases and new tables, and it is hoped that it will be possible to furnish the remaining rooms with these, and all the rooms with new bureaus, which are much needed. The greatest need of this department is more space. The drykiln, the seven machines, and the milling and assembling processes are all crowded into sixteen hundred feet of floor space. Practically all of the finishing has to be done in the manual training room, which not only interferes with the class work but also adds to the cost of production. Last year it was necessary to turn down an order from the E. E. Babb Company for two hundred folding chairs, because under present conditions it is impossible to produce them economically. 'With more space and the addition of a few machines it would be possible to fill such orders and give many more young men a practical experience. Qne year's attendance at South Lancaster Academy instilled in my soul a determination to serve and obey Cuod, not simply to save my own soul. but to bring this truth and its saving qualities as 1 at first planned, I continued six consecutive years, graduating in 1916, paying expenses by convassing during the summer, and working in the printing office during the school year. 1 feel grateful indeed to Cwod for the privileges of Christian training, made up, not S1mPlY Qf-Studies, 'but' of Christian associations in school, church and village, and of Christian service in the colporteur work. To know God and make 1-lim known is still the desire and determination of my heart. Chester O. Perkins, 1916. A. C., or L. J. C., as 1 knew it better, surely means much to me and the mold which has been placed upon my life in the Lord's work. It has served a reallfieed in this Advent movement and 1 am sure its work will not be finished Lhe Lprd comes. I, surely trust that Atlantic Union College will remain Lordfs ,wagirk each succeeding year find it a stronger factor in the finishing of the Prof. K. A.

The work progressed during the past year under the leadership of Francis Bush. Associated with him were Ralph Smart and Ernest Edwards, assistant leadersg Betty Hartwell, secretary, Elizabeth Lillie, assistant secretaryg and John Hafner, chorister. A new plan has been inaugurated, that of altering the society meetings with the Friday evening student hour. This arrangement has increased the mem- bership of the society, and has created a deeper interest in its work. The society sponsors six units: the Sunshine, Missions, Leaders' Training, Correspondence, and Colporteur bands, and the Ministerial Seminar, each com- posed of both College and Academy students. This year the Sunshine band gave -fifteen programs at various institutions in the surrounding towns, and distributed forty-five baskets at Thanksgiving time: the Correspondence band mailed one hundred fifty Present Truth -to interested people each week: the Missions band lent inspiration to prospective missionaries: the Leaders' Training band sought to prepare young peoples' leaccllersz and the Colporteur band gave thorough instruction to the canvassing stu ents. 100 Q Q' .

It gives the prospective workers practical experience in expressing their thoughts to a sympathetic audience. They also receive practical, helpful. and constructive criticism from competent critics. Three bands constitute the Ministerial Seminar: namely, the College band, Academy band. and the Bible Worker's' band. Each band has its own leader. During the school year conference workers speak to the Ministerial Semi- nar as a whole. The broad experience and practical knowledge of these men make it possible for them to acquaint the members with the importance and extent of our great closing work. Many of the members have taken part in the three public efforts conducted in the surrounding towns this year. The earnest efforts shown by the young men in their public efforts have created quite an interest. and tangible results are definitely expected. A number of the young ladies have been giving Bible readings to the interested people in the nearby towns. and their work has been very gratifying. The officers of the Ministerial Seminar realize that the growth they have had this past school year. both in numbers and spiritually. was made possible only bv the help of God. As near as can be determined the membership of the Seminar this year has exceeded that of any of our schools. The average regular attendance has been at least one hundred students at each program. The hope for the future is that the growth will still be upward and onward. lOl A-- ....r:-..-as......,.4c.':.aaa.. a...

XX 1 V l l ADELPHIAN CLUB Sponsored by good fellowship, promoted by brotherhood, and maintained by a spirit of loyalty, the Adelphian Club, born five years ago in the minds of a few, has grown until it now occupies a very important place in the activities of the College. The name itself suggests the espirit de corps that dominates the club. Oflicers are elected each semester, and all busin-ess is conducted according to Roberts' Rules of Order. When a club function is in sway, the auditorium is decorated with an array of club pennants and the club banner, all in orange and black, the club colors. The membership is quite cosmopolitan: Germany, Newfoundland, Cuba Canada, Jamaica, Holland, and Spain all have representatives in the Adelphian Club. This, of course, increases variety in the programs and creates a permanent interest. The ideals of the club live on in the hearts of its members long after they leave, and its influence is felt in every walk of life. lO2 'Sa' , i il If ..:.1J,f f g9SlL0 A7LAHTR: COLLEGE pizazz mi: 11 111,14 erase, .rfgag c 15,3 A KAPPA NU EPSILON The Kappa Nu Epsilon, which in its Greek derivation rneans Fellowship of Ihe Chosen, is the sorority organization of the young women of Atlantic Union College.

Programs of a varied nature have been presented at regular intervals. Evenings have been devoted to music. art, talks by great speakers, readings, games, and selected motion pictures.

Not only is this student organization a great asset to Atlantic Union College, hut it is also of real benefit to the memhers who take part. The College Orchestra is a great aid in creat- ing enthusiasm for such college activities as Harvest Tn- gathering, The LOI'lL'GSliI'7iC17fL, THE NTINUTEMAN, and other campaigns, as well as supplying music for our social events. The Orchestra played over ten marches in the Founder's Day Program. Some of them composed hy the late Sousa, Bgelow, Goldman and the well known composers ol' marches, The Orchestra also gave a program in the New England Sanitarium which was appreciated hy all pres- ent. The closing concert given hy the Orchestra in the College Auditorium consisted of music ot the classical, semi classical as well as the march type. This is a grow- ing organization and is enjoyed hy all. The Orchestra uiually gives three concerts a year, two at the College and one at the New England Sanitariuin and Hospital. si, ,, Y J t .L . if 5 COLLEGE CHGRUS The season l93l-'32 has been a most successful one in the history of the college chorus. Under the direction of Prof. Harry Hadley Schyde, three concerts have been given, two at the college and one at the New England Sani- tarium and Hospital. ln years past it has been the custom of the organization to render a series of cantatas. Instead of following this precedent, the chorus this year has pre- sented selections of assorted glee club, secular, and sacred numbers, an innovation which has been favorably accepted by the audiences as well as the sixty-nve members of the chorus. CQLLEGE COUNCIL The College Council is an original feature of Atlantic Union College, since no other Seventh-day Adventist college has one. lt is composed of five faculty members appointed by the president, four college, and two academy students, elected by the student body. lt is now six years old and has be- come the main channel for the practice of student government. The Council was organized to replace the old Student Association. which included the entire student body. It was felt that the smaller body could accomplish more, and that better results would be realized if students had the oaoortunity of associating with faculty members in their responsibilities. The council has charge of the social, recreational, and promotive interests of the school. Students may register grievances, complaints, or suggestions with this body. The reports of the council meetings are read to the student body by the secretary. THE LANCASTRIAN The Lcmcastrian, a weekly paper which comes out on Eriday of each week during the college year, is published by the College Council. Each stu- dent peruses its contents with pleasure, for it contains the latest news about the College, faculty contributions, and articles of timely interest and general appeal. A distinctive feature of the paper is the columns which are written by the same students each week. The oldest and best known is Tom Nesbits Iron Fence. Among the other columns are the News Summartf, In and Out, and Have You Heard. lVlElVlBERS OE THE STAEE EDITQRSQ MANAGERS 1 cl.

The members of this committee, left to right, beginning with the front row, are: Helen Olmsted, Treasurer Willis King Benjamin Hartman Theodore Carcich George Russell, Chairman Marion Shelly Edgar Keslake Francis Bush Mildred Lawson, Secretary COLLEGE COMMERCIAL CLUB Since the Triple HC Club was organized, commercial students have found that their courses have been more practical and interesting. Parliamentary methods are employed in all its meetings. An election of executive officers occurs every nine Weeks. The club meets once each week, on Tuesday morning. After the business of the day has been taken up, the remainder of the time is used for special features such as speeches by lay members, honorary members and visitors, round table discussions, spelling matches, question boxes, debates, intelligence tests, and numerous other things. .106 .4 .x l his If ,H l M ' .NF .. ,H .1 f 1 --- Q 1- ll, -m1.gsg..k ENGLISH CONTESTS While the English Department takes a live interest in all the activities of the school, there are two contests to which it gives special attention. The nrst is known as An Evening of Oratory in which any student may take part, the requirements being that he present a ten-minute speech on some subject that is interesting, educational, and uplifting. The student is judged by his ability to get his message across to his audience, which, of course, calls for the fundamental principle of all oratory-sincerity. These oratorical occasions have always been looked forward to with great interest not only by the students, but also by the large number of people who gather to listen to those who are aiming to use correctly and artistically the great talent of speech. While it is true that speaking maketh the ready man, it is also an acknowledged fact that 'lwriting maketh an exact man. So it is with anti- cipation and pleasure that the English students always take part in the In- structor College Pen League. This past year there were eleven colleges who participated in this endeavor, and from them two hundred two papers were sent to Washington. Atlantic Union College had the honor of sending in hfty-five of these papers which was more than one-fourth of the total number submitted. Of the one hundred sixteen prizes awarded our college received twenty-seven. Next year we expect to do better work than we have ever done before. In fact, the students are already beginning to think of the article they will write for the Youtlfs Instructor contest of I932-l933. We are highly resolved in our study of English not to 'A basely relinquish that which the fore-fathers have with great difficulty maintained. COLLEGE SOCIAL FORUM Believing social culture to be one of the molding influences of college life, the Social Forum was organized to promote this feature. The Eorum was first organized seven years ago. The true height of success is not just on the peak of mere attainment but lies a little high-er in the clouds of accomplishment with rennement. It has always been the earnest desire of the oflicers of the Eorum to maintain these ideals. The College Forum, above all other organizations of the college, stands as the promoting factor of culture and refinement in Atlantic Union College. THE GIRLS' GYM CLASS The girls' gym class was organized for the purpose of promoting the health of the young women of the College, and affording them an opportunity for recreation. Most of the young women work a great deal and have little time for play: hence the weekly gym hour makes up in a small way for this lack. The girls have been meeting each Monday night during the year. Miss Morgan has been teaching the class the Emerson method of physical culture. Uxfe have also had staff drills, calisthenics and marches. The marches and staff drills are the most popular of the exercises. V I It is planned that next year this phase of activity will be built up. and that every girl will be able to participate and beneht by it. Additions will he made to the equipment, which will make the class more interesting and enjoyable.

The men in whom this power is developed are the men who bear responsibilities, who are leaders in enterprise, and who influence character. It is the work of true education to develop this power: to train the youth to be thinkers, and not mere reflectors of other men's thought. Instead of confining their study to that which men have said or written, let students be directed to the sources of truth. to the fast fields opened for research in nature and revelation. Let them contemplate the great facts of duty and destiny, and the mind will expand and strengthen. Instead of educated weaklings, institutions of learning may send forth men strong to think and to act, men who are masters and not slaves of circumstances, men who possess breadth of mind, clearness of thought, and the courage of their convictions. - Education, pp, l7, IS. Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That 'maybe it couldn't,' but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin Cn his face. If he worried he hid it. I-Ie started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he did it. - Edgar' Guest, in A'It Couldn't Be Done. ATLANTIC UNION CONFERENCE ll8 Gi' A ,fe WI -1.44m Complimen I 5 of W. E.
