OUR NEW COLLEGE President W. B. Riley T HE establishment of a new college is no child’s play. The creation, then, of THE NORTH¬ WESTERN COLLEGE in connection with the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School and the Northwestern Theological Seminary, calls for explanation. In this day of multiplied educational institutions, why another? ITS OCCASION The public seems to demand it. t Between When ton, Chicago and the North Pacific Coast, there is not one four-year college committed in doctrine and practices to the absolute fundamentals of the Christian faith, in the sense in which Wheaton h committed. It is well known that such institutions as Wheaton, Bob Jones College and others that have made an absolute stand for all the fundamentals of the Christian faith, including the premillennial return of the Lord, are overcrowded. There arc more students applying for admission than can possibly be accepted by them and since this great territory of the Northwest holds such a multitude of orthodox Christians, Minneapolis seemed the natural place for the creation and location of another. The local possibilities favor if. We have a number of professedly Christian four-year colleges in this vicinity, but, tin fortunately, they are either openly modernistic in their teaching or have a mixed faculty—theologically speaking, THE NORTH¬ WESTERN COLLEGE will tolerate nothing of liberalism. It proposes to stand foursquare for the “faith once delivered ’ including the inspiration of the Scripture, the deity of Christ, the blood atonement, the physical resur¬ rection and ascension, and the second coming. Its Christian conduct also shall comport with its doctrinal views. We covet no others as students of this Institution than ardent believers in Christ. Wc have no desire whatever to educate the imregenerate There are plenty of schools provided for them, and we count our task a divinely prescribed one. ITS OPENING On September 22, 19If, we enrolled twenty-six i i the first class, This is an excellent opening for a new college in this day of multiplied and established schools. It is nearly four times as large as was the first class in the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School, a school which, with its theological department, grew in forty years to an attendance of 1,233 in all departments. With this much larger enrollment for the first year, in forty years Northwestern College will enroll a few thousand. In this expectation wc view with encouragement God ' s own method oT working. From the tiny acorn He brings into being the enormous oak with all its spreading branches, but He uses time in the process. Should He speedily appear. His very presence would, wc believe, vastly accentuate and increase such schools. ITS PROGRAM If taught only Freshmen the first year , Next year Sophomores will be added; the year after, Juniors; and in the fourth year we plan a full four-year course and will be graduating our first enrollment. Com¬ petent educators arc diligently at work on the four-year cu rriculuin It will, of course , seek accreditation. Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School and Northwestern Theological Seminary arc known to have a strong faculty, and our standing is increasingly high among schools of kindred order. The present fac¬ ulty in the College are not only all university products, but those that will be added from time to time will bring to the school such academic degrees as will aid in accreditation. Our great present problem is not new students for any feature of our threefold work It is, instead, necessary buildings. With our present six buildings including the recent purchase and with the plans for the speedy con¬ struction of two more when the War Production Board gives the green light, and the careful Investigation for purchases of other possible properties about the cast end of our beautiful Loring Park, the prospects for the three Northwestern schools were never so bright as now Correspondence indicates an avalanche of students for next autumn. 20
