Dr. Riley passed away December 5, 1917, and Mr. Graham immediately became Interim Presi¬ dent, Three hundred thousand dollars had been set aside by Dr. Riley , but as the work progressed, tre¬ mendously increased costs in construction far ex¬ ceeded that amount. It took a great step of faith on the part of Mr. Graham and the Board to sanction the completion of the building. However, the fall of 1948 found us dedicating Memorial Hall, al¬ ready overcrowded by the student enrollment of that fall. (I shall never forget the parade as the library was personally transferred from Jackson Hall to the new building!) Years before, in the living room of Twin Lakes Lodge, the Riley home, conferences were held about the possibility of a Northwestern radio sta¬ tion, and application was made in December, 1945. In the summer of 1948 the construction permit was granted, and in February, 1949, KTJS was born—after prodigious effort on the part of North¬ western students, both in manual work relative to the actual construction of the tower, and in united financial assistance. But with a constantly increasing attendance we were still in need of dormitories. Hawthorne was purchased in 1949 as a Freshman men ' s dor¬ mitory. Then Plymouth” was leased for married students. For years the Music Department had struggled in the west wing of Fireside, but old 6 South was creaking under the burden of many years and hard use, and in 1950 was finally sold to the First Baptist Church for a parking lot. (Many a sacred memory was stirred as old Fireside was razed to the ground!) Following that. Northwestern pur¬ chased and converted the Unitarian Center at 16th and Harmon into an orthodox Music and Speech building! Mr. Grahams expanded program of evangel¬ ism—Hour of Decision and Television—made it necessary for him in June, 1951, to take the po¬ sition of Chairman of the Board and to relinquish the office of President to Dr. Paul J. Maddox. As we look back over these fifty years, back to the very beginning with seven young people de¬ sirous of further knowledge of God s Word, back to 1902, when one little school, the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School, was official¬ ly born and the first property was purchased—one building, 6 South, 35 students, 3 professors, no salaries, no tuition, and back to 1902, with but one missionary and few trained Christian leaders, . . . As we look about us today and sec hundreds of missionaries doing a work for God on every con¬ tinent and the isles of the sea, and as we see pas¬ tors, colporteurs, Christian leaders in ever increas¬ ing numbers. ... As we now view the Northwest¬ ern Schools—Bible College, College of Liberal Arts and Theological Seminary with her 6 dormitories, a Music and Speech building, temporary quarters for the Infirmary and Missionary Medicine de¬ partment, a non commercial radio station (a sta¬ tion that sends out the gospel, night and day, over AM and FM) and to climax it all, the William Bell Riley Memorial Hall, housing the adminis¬ trative offices, chapel, classrooms, radio, gym, cafeteria, library—accommodations for 900 stu¬ dents. . . . As we look back to 1902 with no budget, to 1952 when our yearly budget was over $500,000 and we realize our needs today, how grateful we are for Christian people throughout the land who invest in the preparation of students for time and eternity, here in our needy America and around the world. Surely, what hath God wrought! As we face the untrod future, we cast our eyes ' unto the hills from whence comerh our help” and say, Well praise Him for all that is past, Well trust Him for all that ' s to come.
