OUR PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER DR. ROBERT C. McQUILKIN THE MESSAGE of the Victorious Life is almost synonymous with the name of Dr. Robert C. McQuilkin. But his message would not be complete if the Great Commission and the Second Coming were not brought in, too. Dr. McQuilkin was born February 16, 1886, in Philadelphia. His stubborn will to fight against all odds comes from his Irish blood, inherited from his parents who were born in Ireland. His sweet dis- position is due to the training that only his four sisters could have given him, he believes. Dr. McQuilkin grew up in the church. He held all the offices in Sunday School and Christian Endeavor, but his life was not changed till he at- tended a New Wilmington Missionary Conference. It was here, at the age of 25, that he realized that Christ was meeting all his needs. He went back to live a new life. On the way to one of these conferences, Dr. McQuilkin met Marguerite Lambie. He was never the same again. While working in the building business. Dr. McQuilkin felt the call of the Lord into Christian service. He left the business to prepare for the mission field. This training was interrupted when he became associate editor of the Sunday School Times. In 1918 he started to Africa under the Africa Inland Mission. After being hindered in departing several times, he began conference work. Through this work he came in contact with a group in Columbia who were praying for a Bible School. So, in 1922, Dr. McQuilkin came to Columbia and started the Columbia Bible College. Dr. McQuillan ' s fruitful service can be clearly seen from the imprint which it has left upon Christianity today. He will long be remembered as the founder of two Christian Conference Grounds— Keswick in New Jersey and Ben Lippen near Ashe- ville, N. C. He was also instrumental in founding the Foreign Missions Fellowship which has now united with the Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship in its nation-wide college and university works. The numerous graduates of C. B. C. now in Christian service are sufficient reward for the twenty-six years which Dr. McQuilkin has served as president of Columbia Bible College, and he looks joyfully forward to many more years in lead- ing young people To Know Him and to Make Him Known. PICTURES OF THE YEAR • • In twenty-five years in answer to prayer and without personal solicitation for a single dollar, the Lord has provided Columbia Bible College with two campuses and ten buildings. In praise to Cod for His undertaking in bringing to reality the vision of our president, Dr. Robert C. McQuilkin, the 1950 Fuiinl presents the photographs of the year. This vision of Dr. McQuilkin is not merely that of establishing a great Bible College. But more than that, it is the vision of the hundreds of young persons who are being sent forth knowing Christ and zealous to make Him known to the ends of the earth. Opening in 1923 in room 209 of the Colonia Hotel with eight students, Columbia Bible College has been a testimony to hundreds of prayer helpers who have seen the Lord meet its every need. By its fourth anniversary, the increased enrollment neces- sitated the purchase of the entire hotel as the first unit of the Bible College campus. In 1937 C. B. C. took over the Columbia Seminary property, one block north of the main building, to use as the men ' s campus. As the student body approached the 400 mark, a $210,000 dormitory and classroom building located on the south campus was completed three years ago. Now the main building, chapel, new dormitory and classroom building, Houston and Legters Halls, Mills Building, library, and government housing units point to the faithfulness of God. In commenting upon the expansion of Columbia Bible College, Dr. McQuilkin refers to the testimony of George Muller: A visitor to the George Muller orphanages in Bristol, England, was astonished at what he saw, and exclaimed, ' What a great faith that man had! ' The superintendent answered: ' Mr. Muller would tell us ' the secret was not his great faith, but his great God. It is the raft that carries a man across this water. Our faith may be weak, but if we step on the raft, we get across. ' Many of us covet George Muller ' s faith. But he would remind us that we have George Muller ' s God. We have chosen for the 1950 Bible College vear verse: ' FOR THE LORD IS A GREAT GOD ... HE IS OUR GOD ' (Psalm 95:3, 7). ' This is just a great point to remember, ' writes Muller, ' that this God is our God,— Jehovah, the Almighty God, is our God. '
