Page a n d OUR Dtfln BEAUTIFUL FOR SITUATION Christian character dsvelopment is the foremost objective of true education. Sinca the mind and the soul find expression through the body, a well-balanced character is nec- essarily associated with sound physical health. Therefore, as an aid in attaining its goal, every Christian school should be so situated as to afford to students daily physi- cal exercise, preferably in useful labor with easy access to nature in fields and woods for the purposes of recreation and inspiration. Nature is designed to be an interpreter of the things of God. To the attentive ear she is vocal with divine instruction. To the observ- ing eye her lesson-book is replete with sug- gestions of spiritual import and eternal sig- nificance. In the sensitive youthful heart she implants impressions of purity and peace and trust in God. Thus nature places in hu- man hands the keys to unlock God ' s treas- ure house of truth, and in human hearts the means to interpret and appropriate the words of wisdom contained in His Book. Quietly nestled amid the fruitful vales and vineyards bordering upon the beautiful St. Joseph River, our college is truly a school where nature and revelation unite in edu- cation. The expansive lawns adorned with seasonal flowers and ornamental shrubs; the stately trees beneath whose sheltering bowers, joy-laden youths beguile the fleet- ing hours; the woodland spring, the grassy slope, and yondar craggy crest; all these W. I. Smith, Ed.D. reveal the changing panorama of nature ' s superb artistry, the handiwork of the Al- mighty. Ours is the responsibility to appre- ciate these environmental advantages and to imitate generously the attractive graces of nature in the character-building processes of our workaday lives. W. I. Smith Dean of the College

OUR PRfSIDfOI ■ I Alvin W. Johnson, Ph. D. On the shores of Galilee, more than nine- teen centuries ago, the Master bade Simon and his brother, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets . . . The fishermen had toiled through the night without success, but in response to Christ ' s bidding, Simon Peter answered, I will let down . . . Throughout the years, ever increasing numbers of young people, dedicated to service for the Lord, have gone forth from PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE the doors of Emmanuel Missionary College to lands afar and near. Their nets have been cast down where heathenism, superstition, and wickedness on every hand, reigned su- preme. They have toiled thus far into the night. And in this cataclysmic hour, the Master speaks again to young men and young women, Launch out into the deep, and CQsl down your nets. The cessation of world conflict and the re- storation of a measure of peace, have today opened doors of opportunity long since closed. The atomic age will make demands more exacting and detailed than the world has heretofore experienced. In addition, upon Seventh-day Adventist youth rests the work of completing a great spiritual task. To them is delegated the respDnsibility of the future leadeiship of the Advent Move- ment. What a challenge to Christian youth! What an opportunity is yours! At the close of another school year, as you go forth from this institution to your various posts of duty, may your determina- tion in the days to come be to cast down your nets into the deep waters; and may your response to the Master ' s bidding be the wholehearted reply of Peter, I WILL LET DOWN. On behalf of the College, in this hour of leave-taking, I wish for you Godspeed and the abundant blessings of our Heavenly Father. Alvin W. Johnson, President of the College

Page 1(5 Wanda MacMorland, B. A. TO SERVE YOU Somsone once asked what a college pres- idsnt expects of a registrar. The answer is Everything. The registrar at Emmanuel Missionary Col- lege also acts as secretary cf admissions and secretary of placement and personnel. The admissions records in this way become a servicing agency for the personnel program in order that the total personality of the stu- dent and not just the mind may be educated. The registrar in her several capacities has many contacts with students. It is the aim that each of these contacts may be to the young person not only an educational stimulus, but also an object lesson in cour- tesy and understanding. It is hoped that the door of the office may ever swing inward to students who seek advice and encourage- ment. Wanda Maclvlorland Registrar fOUCflllOOflL flfflCt Dr. Smith please? May I Take Greek?
