'maiden This spring marks the close of Dr. Edmund G. Kaufman's fifteenth year of serv- ice as president of Bethel College. In these fifteen years we see many changes and signs of growth at Bethel. The faculty was enlarged and scholastic standards raised. Bethel became a member of the North Central Association. The student en- rollment has grown from approximately 275 to 550. There are representatives from more than half of the forty-eight states and also eight foreign countries, thus widen- ing Bethel's scope of influence and helping effect a much closer relationship between the college and its constituency. Parallel to these changes, the physical plant was also expanded and improved. The largest single item was the liquidation of the college debt, which amounted to Sl4l,3O0 in 1931. In addition, the net value of the college was increased from S446,200 to Sl,247,4UO. Memorial Hall was built, and plans have been drawn for several more buildings. Dr. Kaufman has the background and experience that is necessary for the posi- tion of president. His career in education began when a missionary in China, at which time he was decorated by the Chinese government for his educational work. Besides his administrative duties, he is also an author and lecturer. He is on the Executive Committee of the General Conference and chairman of the Board of Edu- cation, as well as being a member of several national learned societies. Receiving his A.B. degree from Bethel College, President Kaufman continued at Witmarsum Theological Seminary, Garrett Biblical Institute, and Columbia Univer- sity. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1928. He was honored with an LL.D. by Bluffton College in 1939. 8
