'G'9'1Yue c a i9t mind of those who were interested in the matter to bring about a unity of purpose and a plan by which schools with holiness as a dominant idea already in existence might not be ignored. The merger was finally consummated July 1, 1926. Presi- dent Fred H. Ross of California College was the man that had the great vision Of this union and worked untiringly until he saw it a reality. ' During the year 1927 the Mexican Home for Boys was completed as well as the beautiful new Auditorium-Gymnasium. This year 1928-29 finds us with the resigna- tion of President Helsel, and with Professor E. R. lilarsh elected in his place.

Quoting from Mr. Horton, WVith a solid foundation of finance and good- will the future of our school is assured. Let us see that this foundation is well built and our God will smile upon our efforts.

if lf' II 0 C cz Hts' passed, and with it many hardships, but new courage and faith was taken with the opening of the second season. Nearly one hundred students were registered the first day. ln the year 1907, the school suffered a great loss in the death of the first prin- cipal, N. J. Davis. Then Professor J. G. Baird accepted the office to fill the vacancy, after resigning his position as financial agent. This year found more students en- rolled than ever before, there being a total of 152 in all departments. During this time the 'May E. Griffith Memorial Library was founded by Rev. G. W. Griffith. The books numbered one hundred volumes. This was indeed a great asset to the school. In 1908 Professor P. O. Cole and M. Jennie Cole, his wife, of Iowa, were se- cured as principal and preceptress, respectively. The year 1909-10 was a trying one in the history of the school, and at the close Professor Cole was forced to resign on account of ill health. Professor Cole was followed in the fall of 1910 by two very efiicient men, B. I. Vincent and H. K. Biddulph. The first bulletin of the Los Angeles Seminary was sent out in August of 1910, and from then on quarterly bulletins were to be published. Professor Vincent retained his position as principal until 1915, when he was succeeded by Professor E. A. Holtwick. lt was during Mr. Holtwick's administration that the Los Angeles Seminary was formed into four departments by the addition of a Junior College to the primary, grammar, and high school departments. Also, it was during this time that the high school was fully accredited with the University of California, hlr. Holtwick's term closed very successfully in 1918. Professor J. Arthur Howard then came as principal. He was a successful administrator and stayed until the election of Professor hlark Horton in 1923. Dur- ing the year 1921-22 the total registration amounted to 203. The next year passed with a few minor but interesting events. The term president was substituted for principal and Dean for registrar. Also in June, 1922, the name Los Angeles Seminary was changed to Los Angeles Pacific Junior College. At the meeting of the executive committee on March 5, 1923, Professor Horton resigned as President for the following year. Paul R. Helsel was secured as Presi- dent. Mr, Horton, speaking with the knowledge of other schools, says: For the real things of life, those things of abiding value, Los Angeles Pacific College stands pre-eminently. 'No effofr in time and energy seems like sacrifice, for the joys of service with the fine young men and women of the school have over- shadowed all the memories of hard efforts. 'Quality, not quantity' is our motto. During the year 1922-23 Los Angeles Pacific College had an enrollment of 150 students--at the end of the school year four college students were graduated, twenty- five high school students, and two eighth grade students. At the close of this year the intermediate department was discontinued. Undoubtedly one of the biggest events in the history of the school was the merg- ing of the California College and the Los Angeles Pacific College, lt was in the Page Sixteen
