Dear Students and Friends: This has been another remarkable year of progress for the school. Someone has suggested that an appropriate slogan for the Grand Rapids Baptist Bible College and Seminary would be “Faith in Action.” Possibly the sug- gestion came because of the outward evidences of the Lord’s blessing—increased enrollment, a sizeable gift for the music department, two buildings erected on our campus, and now the ground-breaking for another four buildings with the promised readiness for occupancy for September 1964. These outward signs of His blessing are in themselves adequate cause for rejoicing. Personally, I also see as many inward signs of Ilis blessing even though these may not be so evident to the casual observer. Pm grateful for a new student maturity evidenced in the classroom, in student government, in student sponsored projects and programs, and in conduct and conversation. I’m thankful for a certain spirit of vitality and interest which is permeating all areas of College and Seminary life. I’ve sensed that many have grasped -with new awareness the meaning of Christian education. Christian education is vastly more than the addition of Bible subjects to the curriculum. Christian education means the permeation of every facet of College and Seminary life with the principles of the Word of God and the Person of Jesus Christ. Only such a concept of Christian education is worthy of the name, and worthy of the financial investments of Christ-honoring churches and individuals across our land. To those of you who are graduating this year, may the Lord direct your steps into fields of fruitful ministries, and may He grant that some of your fondest memories stem from your student days at Grand Rapids. To those of you remaining with us, may the year ahead even surpass the one now recorded as undoubtedly the most signifi- cant year of advance in the history of our school. The God of heaven has prospered us. 10 President
