A. Don Augsburger, MRE Assistant Professor of Christian Education Myron S. Augsburger, BD Instructor in Theology (on leave of absence) Irvin B. Horst, MA Associate Professor of Church History Chester K. Lehman, Th I) Professor of Theology BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY The inductive method, Zwingli and the Swiss brethren, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Greek grammar and syntax, the theories of creation, divine guidance, Christian service points, right versus wrong, and the philosophy of Aristotle are common topics among professors in the department of Bible and philosophy. These men, qualified by education and experi- ence, are leading students to an appreciation of the Bible as Truth. They are promoting skills for Bible study and interpretation. They are guiding each student into a vital Christian experience, a well- integrated Christian personality, and a worthwhile channel of Christian service. “Thy Word is Truth” is not only the motto of the college but the conviction each teacher wishes to plant in the lives of his students. Irvin Horst loses himself in the story of Bathasar Hubmaier from Martyr’s Mirror.

Harry A. Brunk, MA Associate Professor of History Mary Emma Showalter Eby, Ed D Professor of Home Economics Mary Ethel Heatwole, BS Instructor in Home Economics Wilmer M. Landis, MS in Ed Assistant Professor of Agriculture (on leave of absence) SOCIAL SCIENCES The limbs on the tree representing the social science department stretch out into the fields of economics, geography, history, sociology, busi- ness, and home economics. Teachers shake down truth in nutshells of a discussion on capitalism, the principle under- lying atmospheric changes, the causes and re- sults of the Civil War, the problem of the primary group, procedures in journalizing, posting, and proving, and menu planning. These kernels, when digested by the student, help him to understand himself and the culture in which he lives. They then broaden his ap- preciation to include other cultures, breed en- thusiasm for new knowledge, and suggest an ideal for which to strive. Sloppy joes, a rock chair, and a shady spot make a perfect School Day Out for Harry Brunk.
