There is one door which we have not pictured here, but it is as real, or more so, as any of the wooden or glass ones.

Dean, John H. Byrne, M.D., and Thomas Bolger. The Seminary found its first home With the Second Baptist Church. The Way proficentially opened, in 1920, for the securing of the mansion and additional building lots of the Wolfe estate, which is our present location. The splendid building had been a home of Wealth and had in its three stories commodious classrooms, ac- commodations for the modest library and even a chapel. This building Was named in honor of Dr. Byrne, who was one of the four seminary founders, and Who served as chairman of the Board of Trustees during those early years. Dr. James Mosteller and Dr. Edgar Boss . . . Deans of the seminary and college respectively . . . Because of the rapid growth of the school, Byrne Hall found itself bursting at its seams. Although other accommodations had to be found for the school's many activities, Byrne Hall still serves as a vital focal point of seminary and college life. The Hall presently houses the Administrative Staff and offices, the Correspondence Department, the dining room, and offices for the professors. This massive gray structure, a reminder of Chicago's tinsel years, stands like the Rock of Gibraltar --a sym- bol of N orthern's past. Turn the knob of its gran- diose door of oak, brass, and glass, and enter into a realm of activity and prayerful optimism-Meet the people who are charting N orthern's course for the future. . . . advocates of higher academic standards and more efficient Christian laborers. 4 ,A r.

Foufs, BA., Th.D., D.D. 1887- 1960 For nearly forty years Dr. William M. Fouts ministered faithfully to Jesus Christ and the North- ern Baptist Seminary. For thirty-five years he taught in the field of Old Testament and Archaeology with special emphasis on the Hebrew language. He rendered an invaluable service to the school as Registrar, counseling several thousand students with their problems and needs, and assisting in the de- velopment of the curriculum. Dr. Fouts was a native of Iowa and a member of the First Baptist Church of Keokuk, Iowa. His theological training was taken at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary where he received the Doc- tor of Theology degree. Most of his church life was centered in Tabernacle Baptist Church of Chicago, Where he taught a Bible class for many years. He served as catalog editor and editor of the Northern. He was a contributing editor and writer of the Uniform Lesson Series of the Adult Quarterly of the American Baptist Publication Society. As a xg? scholar, he built an outstanding library with many books of exceptional quality and value, which have now been given to Northern Baptist Seminary for the use of a new generation of students. The seminary builds on the foundation of Jesus Christ and the life and ministry of men such as Dr. Fouts. His fine Christian spirit, gracious personality, patience, humor, scholarly contribution, and Wise counsel set him apart as a man of God who lived and believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ and min- istered in the power of the Spirit.

Born in Nor- way, he married Karen Nilsen of Brooklyn in 1905 while he was pastoring in that city. They are the parents of three children. A few of his achievements in a life of outstanding Christian service are: Pro- fessor and dean of the Norwegian Baptist Seminary, editor of The lllissionary, author of Hfteen books and President of the Baptist Conference of Norway for six years. A living proof that scholarship and faith can be combined in one indi'vidual,' preeminent- ly a man of God, challenging all to clear thinking and greater zeal. Northern Student Annual 1933. Julius R. Mantey, Th.M., Ph.D., D.D. DR. JULIUS R. MANTEY . . . Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Greek at North- ern. Appropriate recognition of his many years of service to the school and the cause of Christ was made at the May 1960 Commencement and at the Austin Second Baptist Church in September. Born in Gannett, ldaho in 1890, Dr. Mantey served this institution for thirty-five years. He is author of Was Peter a Pope?, co-author of the Dana-Mantey Greek Grammar, contributor to the Arndt-Gingrich Greek Lexicon of the New Testament, and he has written articles for the American Peoples Encyclo- pedia. Dean Mosteller captures a vivid glimpse of Dr. Mantey's character: The 'very select are those who ha-ve the God-given ability to stimulate hun- dreds, and unselfishly pour something of their own lives into the ministry of the students.

The new building was Northern's pride and joy. It was appropriately named for Dr. William C. Wilkinson, a steadfast friend, who also contributed his private library. Wilkinson Hall houses a number of facilities which were instituted to afford the student a Well rounded academic and social life. The Armstrong Library, containing 60,000 volumes, occupies the first floor. Recent contributions to the library were received from the William Fouts and Roland Turn- bull estates. The Baptist Archives, the seminary and college read- ing rooms, along with the Periodical Room, comprise the major portion of the library. Hall The second and third floors accommodate the seminary and college men and provide office space for the profs, The dormitory rooms have been equipped to fit the individual taste of the occupants. The men learn the full meaning of brotherliness by living in a communal type situation. Dormitory life provides a wealth of activity-from Weekly Wednesday evening prayer meetings to late and exhaustive bull sessions.

The dormitory en- courages and fosters this growth through quiet hours and pleasant study surroundings, weekly prayer meetings led by the girls, a small prayer room for private devotions, and a house mother who loves and understands each girl in the family. Finally, as the school year ends, the graduates are bade farewell by some of the closest friends they will ever have. With the farewell is a party and a small remembrance gift for each girl to take with her as she steps from Mabel White Hall into the fields of the aisle with the happy bride carrying the dormitory Service and harvest for her God, SS wedding handkerchief. Annual Open House is preceded by the Hurry and scurry of drape-hanging, rug-shaking, swishing brooms and dustmops, furniture moving, close in- spection for possible dusty spots Ctops of doors, especiallylj, and the last minute disappearance of not-to-be-seen odds and ends into already full dresser drawers!

Taft, Dean and later President of the seminary. The apartment building, with its forty-eight two and three room apartments for married students, soon found itself overcrowded. Necessary steps were taken to pur- chase other available space for the growing seminary family. KOLLER HALL, dedicated in honor of Dr. Charles Koller in 1945, and CONAWAY HALL dedicated in 1950, and the 3126-28 Building com- monly known as. Dagge Hall, recently secured to keep abreast of Northern's forward move. Life in the married student's dorms has many facets. Perhaps a conversation overheard would pro- ceed like this: May I borrow a cup of sugar? I ran out and I want to finish my cake right away. Left to right, House Chairmen-Daniel McDonald, Roderick Johnson, and John Dennert. 20 Sure, come on ing I think I have enough sugar for you. Oh! You have new drapes! I got them yesterday. Do you like them ? They're gorgeous. Dick said we could get new drapes next summer when he's able to work more hours. I-Ie's so busy with his studies, he just hasn't been able to work much. In each building the students get to know one another fairly well by studying together, through prayer meetings, and by old fashioned visiting. In the time of need, or of joy, most of the students feel free to call on their neighbors who live near them to share with them on the occasion. As you walk down the long hall and stop to look at the different apartments you quickly notice the differences, but you also see the similarities. In some of the apartments, the occupants have the bare es- sentials of furniture, because extra money is hard to find. In some cases, the women support their hus- bands, so they can finish seminary sooner. Other apartments show the tenant's ingenuity by the way they are decorated and some as if they were done by a professional. But, regardless of how the apartment is furnished, it is the home for the students while they are in seminary. The catch on the doors of these buildings are never lowered against the newcomers They are as open as the people who live behind them . . . penetrate our portals and see for yourself.

Is it not the majestic strains of the organ evoking the music of the soul? ls it not the strengthening oneness of Northern united in prayer? ls it not the satis- fying ubreaking of bread feeding us intellectually? Is it not the unique symbolism of the baptistry cross rekindling our devotion to Him? Is it not the per- sonal communion existing between the Creator and the created? Step through the classrooms in Howel Chapel into a world Whose foundations are textbooks and Whose limits are human capabilities. This sphere is shaped by the professor but is kept rotating by study. The atmosphere is invigorating. Moreover, the conviction that a call to service is a call to prepare is the primary motivation for these stu- dents. To be prepared academically is to be better equipped to Work in the Kingdom of God whatever the service be. At Northern, this realistic, physical World is singularly relevant to the realistic spiritual world. NG 29 Charter Day 1 WH?

We have given over one hundred con- certs in churches of the lXfIid-West covering nine states. This year we went east into new territory, giving concerts in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. Under the very capable leadership of Professor Edward L. Thompson, the chorus has progressed each year. The chorus sings at all major school func- tions and gives a special home concert. Our chorus provides fun and fellowship for men who like to sing and witness for their Lord. Our annual tour provides opportunity unlimited for learning, teach- ing, and testimony as We visit many homes and meet people with a mutual love for our Lord jesus Christ. -Jack Pasko 36 ...gk .M C THE WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB provides a chance for all girls to join in the most Wonderful of all activities which is that of singing praises to our Lord. This year has been one filled with many memo- ries, blessings, and opportunities. We sang at many diilerent occasions away from school. We have also had opportunity to sing for the benefit of our friends ri ..-di, --k .xl if' A ' 5,1 and students here at Northern. The Christmas Musicale and the home concert were highlights of the year. The two Week-end tours taken through Indiana and Iowa were Hlled with much inspiration. This has truly been an eventful year and it is hoped that we, as in the past, can fulfill our aim of glori- fying God in song throughout many years to come. -Kaye Dwiggins WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB: Firri rofw-Mavis Sanders, Kaye Dwiggins, Presi- dent, Gertrude DcSpain, Librarian, Barbara Sanders, Shirley Olmsted, Betty Brown, Second ro-w-Carol Simpkins, Doris Olson, Secretary, Judy Dutton, Elaine Howard, Carol Radmacher, f'Iccomp1mi.rt,' Third rafw-Beatrice Selfe, Lois Binkley, Gail Ofloy, jane Bedwell, Kathleen Grant, Greta Kumlander, Sylvia Sikesg Edward Thompson, Dirnrtur. 37 THE CHAPEL CHOIR provides a monthly chapel hour of Worship through song.

THE NORTHERN WOMEN'S MISSION- ARY SOCIETY is an organization for the student wives and meets once a month. This organization has as its aim to better equip each member for her future Christian work with her husband, to acquaint her with the procedures of the American Baptist Women's Missionary work, and to provide an op- portunity for fellowship among the women on campus. Our theme this year was That Ye May Know Him. Half of our meetings featured special missionary speakers and plays presented by members of the group. The other half were workshops on planning a nursery, entertaining, music and the Woman herself. A new feature of our program was our Pixie Week, held in January. Mission displays were pre- pared by our missions committee and presented at our meetings and we had special missionary pen pals. Our Christian Service Committee conducted a work project during the summer-we refinished the chairs in the pre-kindergarten room and the study tables and chairs in llflabel White dorm. Two special events this year were our pot-luck supper in August and our first Sweetheart Banquet for the wives and their husbands on February 13. THE WILLIAM CAREY MISSIONARY SOCIETY is the organization which sponsors mis- sions on the campus. Programs are provided for the student body and faculty one Thursday night a month. Speakers come from many areas of the world to give the group ideas of opportunities, needs, and responses to the Gospel. The Society has planned one combined chapel service each month, featuring missionary speakersg each spring the Society is re- sponsible for a special work of missionary emphasis. In addition to the meetings on campus, the Society has sponsored Gospel Teams to Cook County Hos- pital, Baptist Home and Hospital in Maywood, and to three city missions. For the first time, the group has a chaplain calling in the immediate neighbor- hood. First rofw-L. Wilson, C. Smith, R. Peck, J. Brouse, B. Brown, V.P. Christian Service, L. Smithg Second rofw- M.

THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB attempts to bring before the student body men qualified to present contemporary issues for discussion which are differ- ent, sometirnes controversial, and which come from a point of view other than that ordinarily encoun- tered in the classroom. The relationship of this to Rofw one-D. Crellin, S. Olmsted, Secretary, D. Bartholo- mew, President, A. Schultz, Advisor, D. Thurston, Rofw tfwo--T. Shishak, H. Sommerschield, K. Pokrant, W.

We are then attempting to get our heads out of the sand and our- feet more clearly and firmly upon the Rock. KB THE STUDENT COUNCIL began its work early in the summer while most students, still un- concerned about their coming academic struggles, were enjoying their beautiful summer vacations. The groundwork was laid for the resumption of a school yearbook. Our channels of communication progressed with the continuance of our fine student newspaper, The Northern Light, and the establish- ment of a separate bulletin board for Student Coun- cil notes.

Following the Gold Dome party came in- dividual college and seminary fall parties, the De- cember Musicale, the hayride, home concerts for the Male Chorus and Women's Glee Club, and finally our Spring Banquet. 1 r M wi ,H - ., ,- Q ' A ,wif FY.: ,V if 1 6 gif if 1 fav , Wwg 3' 7 ,,.,' 1.- 13 A A ,f A dl ' x Ni Administration Seminary- College Faculty CHARLES W.

Seminary Seniors As seminary seniors our immediate activities have been concerned with putting the finishing touches on our formal education. Following graduation, many will find new places of service. We expect life will take on quite a different look. We are eagerly anticipating the future. This year we have been responsible for three prayer days instead of conducting one class day as in the past. Outstanding activities of the year were the middler-senior ban- quet at which middlers served as hosts, the senior retreat early in the spring, and the graduation time activities, with baccalaureate, senior breakfast, alumni luncheon, and graduation exercises. We extend sincere thanks to our teachers, school staff and officers, and to others who have helped us along our academic Way. As we leave Northern, we take with us many wonderful memories.

It is indeed a privilege to have had Dr. I-I. Der- mot McDonald, of London, England, as our class advisor and we deeply appreciate his contributions. By having been the first seminary class to con- duct a monthly chapel prayer service, the Middlers instituted a binding fellowship through testimony and prayer, which has had far-reaching conse- quences.

This newness and strangeness gave Way to familiarity and friendly interest in our fellow classmates who would be studying with us for the next few years. One of the most memorable activities was the open house at the home of Dr. and Mrs. George Vanderlip. After informal conversation and refresh- ments, Dr. Vanderlip showed some interesting slides of the Mediterranean area and emphasized their im- portance and interest for Christianity. The members of the Junior Class are active in all phases of seminary life. However, our main thrust is in the field of Christian service as ministers, youth directors and teachers.

Four years of fellowship have seen many changes in the membership of the class. Some friends have left and new friends have been welcomed College Seniors into the group. This year the class activities have included two opportunities to lead prayer day serv- ices in the college chapel hour, participation in all- college events, and finally, graduation and the many activities connected with it. After much considera- tion, the senior class of the college made its decision to purchase a folding machine as its gift to North- ern Seminary. It is hoped that this machine will provide a greater amount of efficiency in bulk mate- rial folding.

We look back in review of the past three years at Northern and we wonder into what drawer of experi- ence we have filed all those times of growing that have become a part of us here. On the other hand, We peer into the future toward that seemingly infinite graduation date and time dwindles to a standstill from the reality of the present. So, as students in our junior year, we find ourselves in that paradoxial state where we have to say with Paul that we must count ourselves not to have achieved, but are striving ever onward. One of the main events that the Junior Class undertakes every year is providing the Senior Class with a banquet in the spring. We are becoming more and more aware of the providence of God in our lives and are seeing ever more clearly that path which He would have us to tread in the future days.

We miss some of our former class- mates who did not return. Although we will con- tinue to miss them, we open our welcome to some new faces. It did not take us long to settle down, re-unite with our friends, renew our class respon- sibilities and studies, and re-settle ourselves in the various clubs and organizations and field work as- signments. Upon the request of the Student Coun- cil, we planned and presented two college prayer meetings in chapel. We eagerly looked forward to the Spring Banquet and our outing with the Fresh- men at the Dunes, and enjoyed them. Lasting memories were born. Two years down, two to go. May the future be as bright, even brighter, than the past.

College Freshman Y-ri' If '-v 3 Q 'Kp' ,f This year the Freshman Class had the privilege of seeing many changes take place at Northern. We also witnessed the planning of a new school site. With our studies and the every-day duties of student life, and with the wonderful new friends we have made, this has truly been a good school year for all. Now, having made the adjustments to college life, we can look forward to better and brighter events during our remaining years here. The highlight of the year was the freshman initia- tion. For one entire day the campus was crawling with curious looking boys wearing different colored socks and rolled-up pant legs, and carrying bricks neatly wrapped in tissue paper and tied with red ribbon. The girls wore short dresses, carried dolls, and had their hair tied up in ribbons. Even though it was hectic, it was worth the effort.
