HERBERT BYRNE Dean of Education Througout the school year many seemingly insurmountable problems arise in the lives of Bible college stu- dents. A refuge is found in prayer, but often the advice and counsel of those who have successfully over- come similar problems is needed. With confidence and trust, students may turn to their deans who through years of consistent Christian living have gained much spiritual strength, insight, and wisdom. Whether a stu- dent is perplexed by a spiritual. H physical, or a scholastic problem, he may find a sympathetic counselor among them. With the grace of God and the patience of our beloved deans, we will leave Fort Wayne Bible Col- lege as men and women ready to be effective servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. RUTH SONDREGGER Dean of Women

S. A. WITM ER A.B., M.A., Pi-Lo., i.l..D. Our Presidents V X .F JARED F. Game A.s., TH.B., m.A. Dr. S. A. Witmer was president! of Fort Wayne Bible College until January 1, 1958, when he became the first executive director of the Accrediting As- sociation of Bible Colleges. Until he left to take up his new position, he was well-known to the students. His cheery smile and friendly hello there have helped to brighten many a test-laden day. As a for' mer student, dean and teacher at the college Dr. Witnier was well aware of its needs when he as- sumed the responsibility of the presidency. A greatly broadened curriculum and building program stand as reminders of the farsighted guidance which he has given through the years. His counsel, example and testimony have helped many a young person take bold strides forward in his spiritual life. Dr. VVitmer will long be remembered not only as presi- dent, but most important as a friend to each stu- dent who has known him. ln january of l958 we greeted our new presi- dent, the Rev, Jared F. Gerig. Mr. Gerig has long been interested in the field of education and has kept closely abreast of tlhe activities of Fort Vyayne Bible College as a previous dean and member of its governing board. His varied experience as a pastor, national youth leader, editor of a periodical, mem- ber of a mission board, and Missionary Church As- sociation president have tried, tested, and proved his leadership abilities. Mr. Gerig holds the key which will open the door of further advance for our col- lege. Having been so closely associated with the school. he has come to us not as a stranger, but as a familiar associate in whom we can put full confi- dence and trust.
