PROGRESS I KTELLECTU ALL Y . . . Being a liberal arts college, the University must pursue consistently a program of higher learning in which the knowledge of this world is competently taught and willingly studied. By the knowledge of this world, we mean God ' s general revelation as mani- fested in nature, in history, and in the literary, aesthetic and philosophical expressions of man ' s moral con- sciousness. Since Bryan is not a Bible College or Bible Institute, we believe that we have a special obliga- tion to present liberal arts subjects which are con- sidered standard by American colleges and uni- versities. To fulfill this obligation, a total of fifteen new courses have been added to our curriculum this year; specifically in the departments of: Bible — three; educa- tion — six; English — two; history — one; and philoso- phy — three.

PROGRESS SPIRITUALLY... t -r . .-•■ Here on Bryan Hill we are challenged each day with the oppor- tunity to rise to a higher plane of spiritual living. Such progress is attained primarily by a quiet time spent individually with the Lord. We find an inspiration in the daily chapel programs, as well as in moments spent together with our fellow Christians. These constitute an integral part of experience in spiritual progression.
