Well may any American be grateful for the heritage of ideals, courage, and faith which is passed on to him. Even in the midst of the present turmoil in our world, this heritage is still there, if we will only claim it. The early Americans who settled this land found the journey very long and hard, but even more rewarding. It still is. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and last year when dedicated and far-seeing Nazarenes put reality into their dream of a new college in Middle America, our college came into being. But one step is only a beginning. More strides taken with the same adventurous, energetic, prayer- ful, dedicated zeal must follow. If there is one dominant feature in our American heritage, it is faith, for Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Only faith can let us see the dream as it can be. Only faith can make us able to do the work which must be done to make our college grow. Only faith can help us do this great task of Pioneering For pioneering is not only an 'attitude or a state of mind, it is dedicated labor and, as is always the case, the 'ffollowing after of a dream.

When the early pioneers set out over mountains, deserts, and streams, it took courage and fortitude. The earliest pioneers stepped bravely into the completely unknown. Yet, the largest footprints were usually made by those who came after the first pioneers. They knew more about where they were going and could build on the discoveries already made. It took everyone who traveled west to settle our nation and make it grow. So must it be with Mid-America Nazarene College. Each class, as it is formed, has a special place. Only united, mutually dedicated, and completely committed to God, can we ever take the necessary step, to reach our goals.
