This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the Lancaster School of the Bible. Although the School has purposed to be and remain a small institution, it has grown considerably since it was founded by Henry J. Heydt in September, 1933. The first year eight day school students and fourteen evening school students enrolled. We now have sixty-seven day school stu¬ dents and sixty evening school students. The purpose of the School has been “to conduct and maintain a truly Christian institution with the Bible as the perpetual rule for its faith and practice, and with the aim of training believers in the Lord Jesus Christ for definite Christian work.” The first classes were held in the old Convention Hall building at West Orange and Pine Streets. The School moved to 211-13 North Duke Street on April 15, 1934, where the classes were held until the present property, 128-130 North Mulberry Street, was acquired on May 14, 1939. The Bausman estate at 325 West Chestnut Street was purchased as a dormitory in Sep¬ tember, 1941. The Men’s Dormitory at the rear of this property was renovated and occupied September 12, 1947. The Decree of Incorporation was granted to the School on December 15, 1939. The status of the School as a Theologocal or Divinity School was granted Octo¬ ber 13, 1942 by the Selective Service System. On September 24, 1944, the Corporation resolved unani¬ mously that the name of the Corporation shall be “The Lancaster School of the Bible and School of Theology.” The approval of the School for the train¬ ing of veterans was granted December 20, 1945 by the Department of Public Instruction of the Common¬ wealth of Pennsylvania. Since that time thirty vet¬ erans have received training in this School. As of June 1952 the School has held seventeen Annual Commencements; granting forty-three diplo¬ mas in Theology; ninety-one in Bible; eleven in Evening School, and one hundred seventy-four in Teacher Training. One hundred twenty-six have re¬ ceived diplomas from the Evangelical Teacher Train¬ ing Association. Twenty-seven have been ordained to the ministry, and approximately one hundred and three former students are in full time service. Men’s Dormitory Building Main Dormitory Building School Building
