cf. auf-il-uS' s glare F owler emorial 6Builrling N our return to the campus last September, a glow of pride swept over us as we saw our new Admin- istration Building, the Fowler Memorial, nestled in a corner of our beautiful campus, fresh in the sun of a warm autumn afternoon. We had left an excavation the previous june, and came back to completion. The satisfaction awakened by the sight of the building was both idealistic and materialistic. We knew that the erection of the building was the result of a Forward Movement, which augured better days ahead for our Alma Mater. The Fowler Memorial was the lirst step towards a bigger and better Eastern Nazarene College. It stood for sacrihce - sacrifice borne and carried on by all our many friends and supporters in our educational zone. It stands as a living memorial, not only to the man whose name it bears, but also to our President Nease, who literally gave his life to its completion. We were delighted, it goes without saying, with the material improvement the new building brought to the campus. How did we ever get along before we had the new building? lt is a question we ask our' selves. Never, however, with selffpity. Our hearts cling with love to the gracious memories and mellow traditions that cluster about the old classrooms in the Mansion, and we could Wish for the Fowler Memorial nothing better than that her students may look back to it with as genuine affection as the old students feel for the old home. But it is true that outsiders cannot see us as we see ourselves. Since we are judged often by our surroundings, and since the efliciency of a college is often measured and to an extent determined by its buildings and equipment, we are grateful indeed to our trustees for housing us in a building so thoroughly modern, so beautiful, so substantial, that it arouses the admiration and bespeaks the confidence of all who see it. A style of building would be hard to hnd which would better suit the atmosphere of the campus. We are truly grateful to our two alumni, Messrs. Wesley Angell and Thomas Brown, who out of their love and affection for E. N. C. donated their services as architects of the building. The purposeful, sincere, friendly spirit of E. N. C. has been splendidly incorporated into the building. These two alumni of ours, of whom we are justly proud, after spending some years in this institution wove into every part of the plans the simple, purposeful life as they, and we, so well know it. Our Fowler Memorial Building is and must increasingly be a vital factor in our lives. As we go Hfrom the old to the new, we must ourselves advance. Our spiritual and intellectual growth must keep pace with our material progress. The fine new building sprang from a vision ofthe work of Christ lifted high in our Eastern educational zone, a vision only partly realized by those in whose footsteps we are endeavoring to follow. It is for us, even more than for any of the preceding college bodies, to push the battle for God to the limit of our ability, Everything is in our favor, for He is on our side. Who then can hinder us? Qlegree 'granting Gljower Probably no achievement of our college in the past year has superseded the securing on March 12, 1930, from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, of the right to grant the A.B. degree. To our constituency this means an accredited college in the East, on a par educationally with other colleges, to which to send their young people. To our undergraduates this means a great responsibility to do our utmost to maintain the high standard which has been set, To our faculty it means the fulfillment of a dream of many years, the result of self-sacrifice and devotion to a cause which meant more to them than material gain. To our many friends who helped bring this about, to our faculty who have given of themselves, and to our President who gave his life for this cause, we owe an eternal debt of gratitude. C.
