fi V it o, n 0 . . .Now that the initial excitement of being back at GC again after months of travel has worn off, school is starting to seem unreal, irrevelant, and at times almost useless. I know that much of what I'm learning may be used later, but I yearn to be doing something that brings results and satisfaction now. At one time ambition would have been suf- ficient energy and reward, but Goshen Gol- lege, much of education, humanity, and sometimes even life itself is getting to be old hat and has lost its mystique. I see more and more that mystique is the stuff of ambition. january journal entry Dear Mary I ve been back in Goshen for two weeks now at times at has seemed like an eternity wishing I would have stayed in Iapan or South Korea I was so anxious to return but now I must adjust to a new life here one that I did not expect or prepare for My old friends are gone graduated moved on to other locations New faces have taken their places I keep reminding myself of the happi ness I had found here in Goshen before I am sure if I keep searching tearing down walls and baring myself open to the yoy and heartache of new relation ships that my life in Goshen will again take on a positive meaning Meanwhile I m searching through the rubble I , .

During1975, two men, immeasurably valuable in the growth of Goshen College, died. S. C. Yoder and Ernest E. Miller served as presidents at Goshen College during its growing and stabalizing years, Dr. Yoder from 1924 to 1940, and Dr. Miller from 194Ot01954, Both men served the Mennonite church as mission leaders, educators, administrators and church pastors. Their lives became closely entwined with the Goshen College community, with the goals that the College sought to gain and the standards it struggled to uphold. Sanford C, Yoder reorganized the college and reopened it in 1924. During his tenure at Goshen Col- lege four buildings were erected-Coffman Hall, Kulp Hall, the Health Center, and Memorial Library. He wrote several books and became quite interested in the sport scene at GC during his later years. Ernest E. Miller's term as president began shortly before World War Il. His proposed program of train- ing young men for civilian service instead of military service became a maior contribution to the church's non-resistant stand during the war. His tremendous sense of humor and his concern for the students became his trademark which many would remember him for.
