Dordt College - Signet Yearbook (Sioux Center, IA)

Page 7 text:

This, the first annual of Dordt College, published by the Class of 1957, attempts to review the history, the curricu- lum, the activities, the environment, and the purposes of our college. This graphic presentation of the Dordt College movements helpsus to look back to a long period of difficult problems, persistent effort, undimmed hopes, and fervent prayers, translated into glorious achievement by a faithful Covenant God. As we page through this annual, we humbly bow our heads and say, 'What has God wrought? Even though our beginnings are comparatively small, we know that the foundations are solid, for they rest upon the Chief Corner Stone. Since a major portion of the world conflict between righteousness and sin is being waged upon the battlefields of education, Dordt College occupies a strategic position in the coming of His Kingdom. The progress that has been made should inspire all who have labored so faith- fully in the past to renew their efforts to achieve higher goals. It should also inspire many others to join hands in a cause so vitally important in a world of sin. Let us all labor and pray in behalf of our college, not as though we had al- ready attained, but in such a manner that we may apprehend that for which we are apprehended by the Lord. 3
