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
