rienfafion me Each fall a hundred or so timid freshmen de- scend upon the campus of the Cincinnati Bible Seminary to begin their college careers. Any evidence of shyness, though, begins to vanish as soon as the activities of Orientation Wfeek get under way. At the informal meeting of the group on the evening they arrive at CBS. the freshmen are acquainted with the ideals of the Seminary. The next morning they again assemble. this time to show their knowledgefor ignorance-of gram- mar in an liinglish entrance examination. The horrors of that experience, however. are soon 211 forgotten in the festivities which follow during the rest of that day. After an afternoon and eve- ning of soft ball, volley ball, and hot dog sand- wiches, few strangers remain in the group. This fellowship is continued the next day on the sight- seeing tour of the MQueen City of the West. As the upper-classmen return to their dorms and new friendships are formed, the newcomers are beginning to feel quite at home. By the time the first classes meet after Convocation, they are no longer one hundred individuals from as many different communities-they are now the Freshman Class.

If he does not already know, the new- comer is quickly informed that this is Mr. Perry. president of the Seminary. When Earnest Seeker arrived as a freshman. Wioodrow YV. Perry had not yet assumed the role of president of the Seminary. But his name was well known for his capabilities as a writer. preacher. and youth worker. Thus. when Earnest in his sophomore year came to know this tal- ented Christian as President Perry he soon ob- served that the conhdence placed in him was merited. Friendly and free relations were estab- lished among faculty, students, and administra- tion. Every student was requested to have at least one private visit with the new president in his ofhce to become better acquainted. Intelli- gent management as well as firm loyalty to Jesus Christ was manifested in even the first year of his administration. Entiring effort has been ex- pended by him for the school. The spiritual atmosphere which has contri- buted to the growth of Earnest and many like him in the last few years has undoubtedly been aided by this consecrated Christian. The prayer on their lips is that humility, steadfastness. and wisdom may continue to bless his labor. 25
