Bethel College — Heritage, Hopes, Unfinished Dreams Part of the Bethel heritage has been the ef- fort to bring together more fully the life of the mind and the spirit w ith i n a world of work and service . T h i s k i n d of integrated and comm itted alumnus is still part of the Bethel Idea. Bethel should ask us to do tw 0 th i ngs: to think and to believe. Or, in the w ord s of former president Pusey of Har- vard, What we w a nt es- pecially todoistobe- I ieve knowingly and to know with conviction. —Harold Schultz Years ago a limestone building was begun to house a dream called Bethel College, but then, for awhile the vision faded and the resources were not mobilized.
