-gf: MRS. DIXON Mr. Dixon is a very quiet, softly spoken man. On first meeting him, you might not suspect his great capability to lead and direct. He has been a member of our Board of Directors for twenty-one years and president of the Board since 1957. Mr. Dixon has lived all of his life in London, Ontario, where he received his education and has his own business, Dixon Van Lines, Limited. His sweet, charming wife is per- haps best known to the students because of her work in the Ladies' Auxiliary. She, too, has been in- terested in L.B.I. for many years and personally acquaints herself with the students and their needs. We owe a great deal to Mr. and Mrs. Dixon. Their selflessness and dedicated lives have been a great asset to L.B.I. and its students. MR. DIXON

ccreckfafion L. B. I. has achieved another step in its constant effort to improve the quality of its training. On October 28, 1959, our school was admitted as a fully accredited member to the Accrediting Association of Bible Colleges. This recognition is not only an encouragement to us, but also is of specific help in the following ways: l. To friends and prospective students, it is an assurance of college training of high quality, both spiritually and academically. 2. To present students, it means their training here will receive wider recognition. Accreditation places L. B. I. in a leading position among Canadian Bible Colleges. It also opens the door into sympathetic undergraduate and graduate schools. For example, Wheaton College will now accept all parallel credits without examination. At least four graduate institutions of recognized stand- ing have either accepted out graduates, or have ex- -pressed their willingness to do so, on a par with grad- uates from liberal arts colleges and universities. Accreditation does not necessarily open doors into all Canadian colleges of liberal arts. Since there is no exclusively Canadian organization for evaluating higher education, each school evaluates every other school in- dividually. In general, colleges follow the lead of the universities in granting transfer credits. However, ac- creditation will certainly help our graduates to gain more recognition from such schools in Canada, 5. To alumni, accreditation assures them of the stability of their alma mater. L. B. I. is worthy of their con- tinued prayer and support. Accreditation, however, is not a substitute for spir- ituality. In fact. the A.A.B.C. insists on a vital Christian atmosphere and missionary vision as one criterion for accreditation. Nor is accreditation the climax of our development. It is only a stepping stone. As God enables, L. B. I. will continue to develop in the qualify and quantity of young people it prepares. In the words of a former president, Dr. James Bedford, we must Keep on keep- ing on. Page 11
