ERNEST EDGAR MILLER, PH.D., PRESIDENT AND PROFESSOR OF EDUCATION Prexy Lead Administration Christian Outflow Stressed in Campus Religious Life By Ernest E. Miller A religious program to be healthy must have a continual outiiow of energy from its campus. A campus religious organiza- tion which exists only for the profit of its own members is already dead. On the other hand, it can be a living, vital organization if it has an outlet in deputations, in service projects, in a variety of community and even world contacts. We are to follow our Lord, and Jesus remained constantly active in His witness, A characteristic, descriptive phrase about Him is He went about doing good. Now the phrase characteristic of Him is not, He went about, or He went about doing, but He went about doing good. He remained continually active in His Father's witness-up and down the roads and in cities, on mountains, by the sea, in the desert-sensitive always to the physical and spiritual needs of men and women and children, and ready always to bring to bear on their minds and hearts His and His Father's resources. That was our lVIaster's work. So let us,too,keep busy going about doing good, remaining sensitive to the needs of others, bringing to bear on their needs such talents God has entrusted to our care. This is an essential part of the whole process of learning. .Ill'fXXUXl'1'1f l'l'Ill,lSHl.X'G HOUSE . . lfrligiom I1'l4'mI111'f' 'lm' your III'l'lIA' . . Clllflllflglll' 011 V1'Q1lf.wI . .

Faculty and Stuff Four Book And Teapot Literary creativity marked this year with the publication of four books written by faculty mem- bers. The History Department fostered two of the publications, while the English and Music depart- ment faculties had one each. The year also found several new members in the various departments and several old ones being pro- moted. New equipment bought ranged from a gyroscope and a DeSoto station wagon to several adding ma- chines and a teapot. One professor was recognized by a national bureau for his 30-year pastime. Another's silk screen print was exhibited at a national show. Professors in one department happily installed equipment for the clinic they had long wanted, and wrote up a blue-ribbon report for the year on foren- sics and debate with a national winner, three state winners, and a six-out-of-six tournament victory. In other departments laurels awaited publications not yet completed. Work was continued on a new Mennonite Encyclopedia and a book on the writings of Mark Twain.
