McMurry College is just now entering its greatest period of development. For twenty-one years it has been driving its roots deep into the life soil of this great western empire. lts growth has been one of penetration rather than expansion. lt has lived through difficult days and under adverse circum- stances, and these have put something into her soul that is worth more than buildings and endowment. lt has influenced the lives of hundreds of Young People who are now coming into leadership in this vast territory. lt has been watered and nourished by the prayers and sacrifices of thousands of good Methodist people who have had the vision and understanding of the need of such a College. The time has now come for McMurry College to put forth her branches and to unfold her blossoms. The Methodist Church is convinced that the time for expansion has come. Money will be made available for the needed buildings and equipment, and to undergird it with endowment for future se- curity. God's Spirit has moved upon His Church to do a great and need- ful thing, and it will be done. With the eyes of Faith we see the McMurry College that is to be, and it is one of which we will all be justly proud. cJl7Za'zofc! 670055
