Wc dedicate this issue of the Spire with appreciation to Professor H. C. Wingblade, who for twenty-seven years has been an instructor at Bethel. Professor Wing-blade has so established himself in the love and respect of his students that any memories of Bethel must needs bring with them memories of ilH. C.” With his unusual mastery of literature and his own enthusiasm for the works of great men, he has made his lectures alive and interesting, and in his own inimitable wav has brought his students the great truths of life. Professor Wingblade has made it easy for students to talk to him — to tell him of their difficulties, discourage-ments and successes because they have always been sure of (juick understanding, sympathy and aid. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why he has been chosen the sponsor of every senior class since he came to Bethel. He has been adviser to the student council, to the Junior College club, and to the annual. A „ liJe deAicate Jl. Q. Wm Jdade

With her beginning in Chicago in 1871, as the Scandinavian Department of the Baptist Union Theological Seminary, Bethel Institute has progressed during the intervening years into her present bi-departmental organization as Bethel Theological Seminary and Bethel Junior College. With the exception of three years - one spent in St. Paul and two in Stromsberg, Nebraska — the work continued in Chicago until 1914 when the Seminary was moved to St. Paul to join the Academy, which had been previously established in Minneapolis in 1905. I11 1914 Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom became president of the combined school organization of the Academy and Seminary. Two buildings, one known as the Academy building and the other as the Seminary, were erected on the present campus located on Snclling Avenue. Feeling the need of trained lay workers, the school launched the Bible and Missionary Training department in 1922. Soon the need for collegiate training became apparent and as a result the Junior College was established in 1931. The Academy, Junior College, Bible and .Missionary Training department and Seminary existed until 1935 when the General Conference voted to discontinue the Academy and Bible Department. A Christian Workers’ Course, offered in the Junior College, was substituted for the B. M. T. course. The present organization of Junior College and Seminary has been in existence for three years with an increase in efficiency, in enrollment and in general growth of curricula. J UtihAy j feethel
