me OF SERVICE Bue tclbe ein Weesliete yeas aT 7S By RALPH L. RECORDS As we approach the close of the twentieth school year of The Cincinnati Bible Seminary, which will occur on Commence- ment Day May 4, 1944, it is altogether fitting and proper that we should recall briefly the history of these twenty years. In September, 1924, the two apartment houses, 951-959 Chateau Avenue, were being transformed hastily into class rooms and library for the new school, and into dining hall and dormitory rooms for the students the promoters hoped would come to enroll. When the opening day came the buildings were liveable, but not impressive. The class rooms made work possible, but were not adequate. Necessary equipment was to be added slowly as the income warranted such expenditure. There was no endowment hi Ce. and no fixed income. Salaries for the teachers were not guaranteed (ath -Ulzcorde and could be paid only as friends could be found who would contribute for this purpose. Moreover, the trustees had agreed to pay $42,500.00 for the two buildings. They were able to make a cash payment of only $3,000.00. The balance of the purchase price, $39,500.00, remained as a heavy burden upon the school for many years. In spite of these financial and material handicaps, which would have kept men of only keen busi- ness sense from participating in such an undertaking, the faculty full of faith and hope joyfully wel- comed the students who came to form the first student body. The teachers were happy because their dream was realized at last. The school that was to be loyal to Jesus Christ and every teaching of his Word had been established—a school set for the defense of the Gospel—determined to train and equip a ministry which would exalt Jesus Christ and glorify His church. The necessary brevity of this article allows only the merest mention of the events of the following years and forbids any attempt to set forth the reasons for the hard days that were to come. It is sufh- cient to say that the income of the first year did not continue after the newness of the experiment had passed away. Debts accumulated, salaries were unpaid, creditors were demanding payments of accounts and threatening a receivership. Many predicted that the end of the Seminary was at hand. Reorganization followed. A policy which would keep the expenditures of the school within its in- come and provide for the gradual liquidation of the debt of more than $60,000.00 was adopted. This action occurred in 1928. Lean years followed, but the new policy was not changed. The faculty and trustees did not lose faith or hope. God blessed the school. The storm passed. A host of new friends were made and kept. Loyal Christians were thrilled by the growth of the school and the loyalty and success of the graduates on the field. Gradually the debts were all paid in full—one hundred per cent on every dollar. The honor and credit of the Seminary with business houses, the chamber of commerce, and banks were redeemed. Bradstreet and Dunn listed The Cincinnati Bible Seminary A-1. After the debts had been paid the Seminary began to enlarge its material possessions and improve its equipment. At the end of twenty years the school has a campus of twenty-seven acres unsurpassed in natural beauty by any college campus in the brotherhood. The buildings that now house the Seminary and the stately, imposing House of Worship could not be replaced, according to the valuation of the in- surance companies, for less than a quarter of a million dollars. Already more than four hundred young men trained in The Cincinnati Bible Seminary serve the Churches of Christ in America in nearly every state of the Union. More than forty of her students have been called to foreign fields. The loyalty, consecration and victorious ministries of these Seminary men and women have thrilled the loyal brotherhood and given courage to the faint-hearted, so that a new day has dawned for the Churches of Christ. During these twenty victorious years the student enrollment has grown from less than a hundred until it now numbers three hundred sixty-five. This heartening record of achievement has not been easily accomplished, and the policy and pro- gram of the school have not been maintained without difficulties. Pressure groups have tried to swerve the Seminary from its charted course, but the school has kept faith with Jesus Christ and its founders. From an insignificant beginning, scorned by the intellectuals and despised by the ecclesiastics, your alma mater, under God’s guidance and help in twenty years, has become a potent force for Christ and His church, known and loved throughout the homeland and around the world. that they are the sum of the truth, and the very essence of religion, and that all who reject them must be destitute ll
