The gllapln 1nnf- ea as A HAROLD STAUFFER BENDER. M. A., B. D., Th. M. Princeton University and Seminary, Garrett Biblical Institute, Universities of Tuebingen and Heidelberg, Germany Acting Dean, Head of the Bible Department I have a deep conviction that Goshen College has an unusual place to fill in the educational world and that she cannot, therefore, be classified as 'just one of the small colleges of the United Statesf We are definitely committed at Goshen to a program of Christian education with all the richness and depth which that term includes. We are fundamentally out of sympathy with a secularized education and the type of living which it tends to produce. The life which we seek to foster at Goshen College is one which is characterized by Christian spirituality. which is the fruit of the power of the indwelling Spirit of God. which is motivated by the ethical insight of Iesus Christ, and which has as its world-view a philosophy based upon the Christian revelation. That the currents of modern life seem at times to counter such a program is of little concern to us except to deepen the sense of challenge with which the Christian has always faced the world. We will not surrender our ideals in times like these: we will carry on with faith. -Harold S. Bender. setenteen

sixteen Ellie ellflapln Elleaf SANFORD CALVIN YODER, B. A., LL. B. Iowa State University, Hamilton College of Law President This is a day when our social and political organizations are shaken to their foundations. Many of the things that in the past en- gaged the attention and challenged the admiration of men have been entirely swept away or their value greatly reduced. This was possible only because they were material and perishable. In making adjustments to meet the situation, men must needs seek a new anchorage and new objects and ideals upon which to bestow their devotions and lavish their affections. This brings to all Christian men and women the op- portunity of restating in terms of our present need the things that abide. Confidence in a sovereign God and the fount of a living faith lends an enduring hope that will span the valleys of depression and dissipate the gloom of disappointment through which those whose hearts are set on earthly things must periodically pass. To build such a hope into life and character, together with a will to hand it on to others, is the opportunity and should be the purpose of every Christian College. To this cause our Alma Mater is dedicated and with this purpose she charges her sons and daughters as they leave her portals to enter upon life's activities in the fields of usefulness wherein their Maker calls them to labor. -Sanford Calvin Yoder.
