Manhattan Bible College Biography In 1927, a Bible College was founded in Man- hattan. Kansas. by Eugene Bible University of Eugene. Oregon. For two years this college remained a child of Eugene. In 1929, all pro- perty belonging to the Bible College founded by Eugene in Manhattan in 1927, was deeded by the Eugene Bible University, to a r2w cor- poration. known as Christian Workers’ Univer- sity. Manhattan Bible College came into being on June 20, 1930, when Christian Workers Uni- versity déeded all of its holdings to Manhattan Bible College, which was chartered on that date, and which institution has functioned trom that date to the present. 1937 was a sad year for the school, when due to depression and drouth, the Bible College was forced to give up the property which was deeded to Manhattan Bible College in 1930. The school was not one to give up in despair, but in 1940 started a building fund which reached a total of $17,000 by September 1, 1943. Negotiations were started for the purchase of the above mentioned building. An agreement was reached which enabled the Bible College to buy this building at a cost of $26,500. Immediately the Bible College began a campaign to raise an additional $9,500. This building was purchased on a two year's contract. However, the finan- cial response was so excellent that only four and one-half months were necessary to obtain the money to receive the deed to the property. ‘Five years ago the Bible College purchased the frame building in which schoo] was held during the period when it did not have possession of the above mentioned building. The school is well located both from the standpoint of convenience and that of cultural and educational opportunities. Both the Union Pacific and the Rock Island Railroads pass through the city as well as U.S. Highways 40 and 24, The school is within reach of five hundred congregations to which we may look for support, and which adjacency makes an excellent outlet for the services of young men and young women who are ready to go out from the school over the week-end to preach. Per- haps no other college among “us” is so strate- gically located. Just across the street from Manhattan Bible College stretches the campus of the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science. This offers a wonderful op- portunity to students of both schools for a well- rounded, Christian education. The purpose of Manhattan Bible College is to train preachers and other Christian workers who will be loyal to the Christ, and to his Church, as presented in the Scriptures. Manhattan Bible College seeks to be Christian in the fullest meaning of the term. The College believes that the final and only authoritative statement of the Christian Religion is in the New Testament. Christian conduct is expected of all students in the College. Any student found unable to conduct himself as a Christian in the College, community, or elsewhere will be dismissed from the College. Just be a Christian gentleman or lady and you will be acceptable to the institu- tion. Mt. 7:12 is an excellent guide. It some- times becomes necessary to apply some practical applications to the general rule of conduct. All students are required to attend Sunday Church service. During the twenty-one years of the history of the Bible College one hundred thirty-seven people have been graduated from her halls. Many of this number are preachers, others preacher's wives, some missionaries, and several are outstanding Christian leaders, We are assured that this is merely the intro- duction to the history of a great institution, which has as its aim, to train young men and young women for loyal consecrated service for COM who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
