It gives me pleasure to send greetings In the 1947 METEOR to the students, patrons, and friends of La Sierra College. Our school is a youngster in the family of Seventh-day Adventist Colleges. It is a thriving youngster with great potentialities. It is difficult to believe that only twenty-five years ago our present beautiful campus was a water- melon patch. Since its founding in 1922 our school has made remark- able progress. Farsighted boards of trustees, aggressive adminis- trators, and loyal constituency have brought the school to its present position as a fully accredited, degree-granting senior college. Above all, we ascribe praise to God for the signal manner in which hHe has watched over and abundantly blessed in the upbuilding of La Sierra College. With the class of 1947 almost a hundred baccalaureate degrees will have been conferred. Almost all of the recipients of these degrees have entered or will enter denominational work, or they are filling a great need as Christian doctors. This Is an enviable record for the brief period during which La Sierra College has been granting degrees. While time lasts we can expect to see even larger numbers go from our halls, not to be served, but to serve. Our present college enrollment, which approaches the 900 mark, has taxed our facilities to capacity and even beyond. This has made it diffi- cult, If not impossible, to maintain the Intimate, personal faculty-student contacts which we value so highly. It is still our highest wish that every student who comes to La Sierra College shall not only receive Instruction of a high quality but also, and above all, obtain an experience in spiritual things, an experience that will carry him through this life and into the better land.
