DR. S. MAXWELL CODER, Dean of Education DEAN OF EDUCATION Supervision of the Educational Branch of the In- stitute lies in the hands of Dr. S. Maxwell Coder, Dean of Education. He is in charge both of the aca- demic area, and the division of student affairs. This includes the offices of the Deans of Men and Women, the Health Service, and the Student Placement Office. In addition, Dr. Coder works with Dr. Culbert- son on the five member cabinet. This presidential advisory board meets once a week and discusses problems such as new buildings, the radio net- work, and Moody Press. Dr. Coder is responsible for submitting and ad- justing the budgets for the educational branch. An annual report is produced on all areas under his jurisdiction. Alumni affairs require Dr. Coder to do quite a bit of traveling throughout the year, speaking at many Bible conferences across the country. The responsibilities of this office demand dedicated leadership. DR. ALFRED MARTIN, Dean of Faculty DEAN OF FACULTY Dr. Alfred Martin has completed his sixth year as Dean of Faculty. His time was filled with the administrative details of the faculty and counsel- ing members of the teaching staff in areas of self- improvement. In recruiting members of the fac- ulty, Dr. Martin sought to upgrade academic re- quirements. This year for the first time, the Dean of Faculty’s office has provided the faculty with the Faculty Handbook which will be issued on a regular basis. The Curriculum Committee, headed by Dr. Mar- tin, incorporated a Missionary Literature major in the Missionary Course. This new major will begin in the fall of 1965. Dr. Martin taught Bible courses this year both in the Day and Evening Schools. He also completed a “Study of Christian Stewardship” which was recently published in the Moody Manna series. In collaboration with his wife, Dr. Martin wrote the third in a doctrinal series, “Learning From God.” This course, originally written for juniors, has now been adapted for adults.

When by the grace of God you became a child of God, Christ laid hold upon you. But He did not simply claim you as His own, He laid hold upon you for a purpose. Says the apostle: “I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:12). Surely one of the purposes of our Lord in saving us is to conform us to His own image (cf. Rom. 8:29). Thank God, He will not quit until He gets it done. Familiar as we are with the Word of God, we know that in all its fulness, this objective awaits the consummation—the return of our Lord. It is when we see Him that we shall be like Him (I John 3:1-3). But does this fact mean that we should in the meantime content ourselves with carnality? God forbid. Spiritual maturity is not only a goal, it can be a possible present experience GiGoresto) Phil. 3°15) 2 The Word of God also says: “I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:14). Surrender, faith, and obedience to the Word of God are the ingredients God uses to bring us into the experience of spiritu- al maturity. But even there, there is more! There is the goal! Thus we should never settle down in complacency. It is always “more and more” (I Thess. 4:1). May God so lead you on in spiritual growth, in empowered service and in blessed use- fulness until the Lord come. God bless you.

ADMISSIONS AND REGISTRATION Mr. Roy Shervy assumed the responsibility of Registrar and Director of Admissions this year. Mr. Shervy, a graduate of the Institute, came to Moody last year as Assistant Director of Admis- sions and Registration. His departmental duties include processing and accepting applications for the Day School, academic counseling and adjust- ment of schedules, registering Day and Evening School students, and insuring academic require- ments for graduation. Working with Mr. Shervy is his staff: Miss Alice E. Heck, Assistant to the Registrar; Miss Vivian Martin, Assistant to the Director of Admissions; and Miss Alice M. Everard, Assistant to the Regis- trar. Both students and staff agreed that registration day was one of the smoothest in history because of the management of Mr. Shervy and the more effective use of IBM.
