G RA D U AT E S: This we emphasize This is an age of specializafion-a fime when every man needs fo be proficienf and skillful in one parficular field. This is fhe era of fhe experf, wifh each arfisan carefully prepared for a specific work in which he musf excell fo be successful. ln fhe midsf of fhis age fhe minisfry, as always, is specializ- ing in il's imporfanf fask-fhe promulgafion of fhe Gospel. The minisfer, now as much as ever, musf be a skillfully prepared craffsman. While four years of academic work can do much 22 fo prepare fhe servanf of Jehovah for his laboring, many do nol' feel fhaf fhis comprises enough col- lege sfudy for such an imporfanf work.

He musl' be able fo defend his message againsf whafever affacks Safan uses, whefher if be liberalism, denominafionalism, or indifferenfism. Yef in fhe graduafe sfudies, fhe needs of scholar- ship never overshadow fhe imporfance of fidelify fo Chrisf.
