OUR PRESIDENT Pacific College is now completing fifty-six years of continuous service to students. In many ways this year has been outstanding. All records have been broken for enrollment. Our student body was 70 per cent larger than last year and 26 per cent larger than the highest previous all-time record. This year for the first time, our dormitory facilities were crowded to the limit. For the first time we have had housing for the veterans and their families. A new library has been erected on the campus, and we have been able to use our new gymnasium, which is one of the finest in Oregon. These dvelopments and many more which we might mention, are not ends in themselves but merely evidences of greater things hoped for. Along with our physical growth we should strive for a spiritual and mental awakening. Unprecedented problems face our generation which call for unprecedent- ed leadership. Our way of life, and perhaps civilization itself, is threatened. Certainly the first preparation that Christian education has to offer is demanded of us today. This year mar ks the end of my close association with Pacific College. It has been by good fortune to be associated with this institu- tion either as student, facul- ty-member, or president for twenty-three years. During this period I have known many wonderful men and women who have gone from Pacific to places of great usefulness in the world. They have set a standard of achievement, which you must raise even higher. To every member of this student body, I take this opportunity to extend my sincerest greetings and best wishes for the coming year. Sincerely, Emmett W. Gulley, President.

IN MEMORIUM Imogene Degner, born July 4, 1926, and died as a result of an automobile accident on July 9, 1946. Imogene was not just another student body member, but she was outstanding in all she undertook to do. 1946 found her editor of the Crescent. She had been chosen to fill the place of editor for this 1947 L ' Ami. More than being outstanding in school activities, Imogene always lead a consistent and outstanding Chris- tian life. In all ways Christ was uppermost in her life. She radiated Christ at home, at school and at work. She lived to serve her Christ. We pause in the world of rush to remember our classmate and friend— IMOGENE DEGNER.
