And I saw in the fall the great doors of Emmanuel Missionary College swing wide after part- ing in the spring with those she loved and lost awhile. And I saw the revival of spirit again as new sons and daughters came and learned to call her home. I watched them move through long lines reg- istering for knowledge and for work, timidly at first, these folk from North and South and East ond West. Th;n I heard them singing in worship, 275 daughters that looked their part, aft r t ' -c cip.ilitudo » Dean Rachel Christman, B.A of a palace. Our first theme song of the year, Blest Be the Tie That Binds, I heard it later as it ran through the classrooms, around the workshop, livening the play hours, saw it as it inseparably carried the reception and the banquet through, glory- ing in a task well done. I heard it strengthen too, in a moment of crisis and sorrow, draw- ing them together as they knelt behind the prayer lOom door whereon is written, Prayer Changes Things. And I heard the tie so strong that when separation time in May came round there was one hope only, that we meet again. And I wish that you and you and you out there from North and South and East and West will join us in the singing of that song that the cords of comradeship will bind, and that our experience m.ay find re-echo in your own, and you too look forward to the tirre until we meet again.

Page Greater Demands on E.M.C. As the work of God expands, the develop- ment of our schools must be commensurate with the needs for training workers. Conse- quently, to meet this need, E.M.C. is expand- ing year by year. Only a few years ago, the plant consisted of a few frame buildings and had an aver- age enrollment of three to four hundred stu- dents. To these frame structures have been added commodious and modern brick build- ings: Ihe administration building, the library, applied arts and press, the power-house and engineering building, the farm, greenhouse, and the college wood products. A m-odem brick dairy building has just been completed and a large, fire-proof dor- mitory, which will house three hundred stu- dents, is under construction. These addi- tional buildings will make possible an enrollment of approximately eight hundred students. The long-time plan, as outlined by the college board, provides for a new educa- tional building, a recreation hall, and a much-needed cafeteria building. Then, in the not too far distant future, we hope to see V. p. Lovell. M. A. a new music hall and a new men ' s dormi- tory. Yes, all this to meet the ever-increasing needs of a Christian education for our youth. V. P. Lovell Business Manager Busifitn officf

Since happi- ness and challenge are such basic factors in development, manage- ment accepts the indi- vidual as the most im- portant consideration in student - administrative relationships. It is our duty and priv- ilege to promote in each resident the largest possible maturity of mind and spirit by the nobl est of means. Likewise it is the student ' s privilege to assist in his personal culture by b.inging to the school hom.e an awareness of opportu- nity and a gracious disposition towards living with his fellows.
