SEVEN FULL AND PART-TIME teachers in the Depart- ment of Religion testify to the fact that Christianity is the core of the college and of the personal life of the students. This large staff assures classes small enough to confront the student individually with the full truth of the Gospel and to challenge him to live it vigorously. The Department of Religion is outstanding not so much for what the Bulletin says but for what the courses in religion aim to accomplish: to synthesize the whole of Christian education into a living faith kindling the mind. heart. and will. and to provide not only scholars of the highest competence hut also deeply religious young people. Training students for the ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist church holds a central place in the department. Coordinated with the Theological Seminary in Washington. D.C.. the department of- fers a four-year curriculum leading to a B.A. in theology. A fifth year of graduate work at the Seminary entitles the student to the lVl.A. This new program is offered to meet the growing demand for a well-trained clergy. During l954-55. several ministerial students on their own initia- tive and resources conducted a series of evangelistic meetings in communities close to the college. Typical of these was the Arlanza effort. Entirely student sponsored. the group used the varied talents of students from all departments of the college to present Godis last message to an area of 6.000 people. l.ike Pilishas servant of old.

--'Q hvq DISPENSING MEDICATIONS TO AILING col- legians could be a dull, routine chore performed by some automaton. Service could be spotty and genuine interest in the patient lacking. ln contrast, La Sierrans enjoy the warm-hearted service pro- vided by a co-operative Health Service. The prompt and professional treatment given by competent medical personnel inspires confidence when dis- couragement might prevail. Nobody looks for- ward to needing the Health Service, but it is com- forting to know that capable service is ever avail- able if needed. -... 4 1 - X V . , l, Patient Isis Schade isn't really sick, but the efficiency demonstrated by Mrs. Richli, director of the Health Service, Vernon Ecldlemon, and Pat Craven is available to those who really are.

His relationships on both student and faculty levels are outstanding in their friendli- ness. Oil paintings and gardening supply relaxation from the daily grind of grade books and red pencils. BARRINGHAM: Drawing from his years of evangelism, this earnest teacher aims to make Christ the center of every lesson. Wanting to help every student to do well in his classes, he carefully clarifies every doubt. Students appreciate his depth of sincerity and his practical lessons to illustrate theoretical concepts. yi-I l WILBER ALEXANDER WILLIAM H. BARRINGHAM J.
