Students Go Steady With Studies In-class-work and homework go hand-in-hand to pro- vide the student with the variety of lecture, lab work, library research, and personal reading and review so necessary to adequate learning. This intellectual exer- cise serves as a trying ground for newly acquired mate- rial, exposing old prejudices and bringing to light fresh vantage points. In order to actually absorb knowledge, it is not pas- sive acceptance that is required, but active interest in a subject, an attitude which involves the entire student. Such acquaintance of the student with organized work in thinking produces lasting discipline and character of the highest sort. ci.ockwlsE FROM ToP LEFT: chris i'ii ' Morgan and Julie Tyre plot the secret for- ' f ' VY mula in biology lab.

the Challenge of the Presidency 'N 'w . vw,- LEFT: On October 31, 1980, Dr. Harvey Bostrom was inaugurated as the fifth president of Fort Wayne Bible College. Dr. Bostrom comes to B.C. with a long history of Christian service to his credit. TOP: Ira Gerig and Dr. Ted Nickel prepare to participate in the opening prooessional along with many other familiar and visiting dignitaries. BOTTOM: Dale Ferrier, president of the Board of Governors, officially confers the office of President upon Dr. Bostrom. Paul had received a vigorous educa- tion under the personal tutelage of Ga- maliel. The Scriptures had formed the core of his studies. All that Paul did and said underscored his belief that the Eternal God had spoken authorita- tively. His education included a thor- ough study not only of God's message but also of man's interpretation and evaluation of it. A true scholar is characterized by an insatiable curiosity. Life is open-end- ed. Truth is as vast and comprehensive as is God Himself. Scholarship is a vi- gorous discipline. lt seldom is a com- fortable way of life. God has revealed Himself directly through the Scriptures and indirectly in all of the world that surrounds us. We have His promise that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. But-What is truth? This question has echoed down through the centur- ies. Its expression has taken a variety of forms, and that question is more rel- evant today than ever in the history of mankind. The composite voice of the entire human race is calling for help in finding answers. We at Fort Wayne Bible College, faculty and students alike, must know what we believe and why we believe it. Of equal importance is the ability to express our thoughts and beliefs in ways that will communicate effective- ly. In short, like Paul, we need to identi- fy, conceptualize, and articulate truth for the people of our day. . . .and we can grow in our understand- ing of truth if we, as did the Apostle Paul, make books and parchments a part of our life. 15
