President Speaks of Church and Education H. V. Rowenhorst, President of Northwestern College, and wife Shirley. While Northwestern College has a liberal admissions policy and offers remedial work for students weak in certain areas, while we recognize that most of our students are not going to spend their lives primarily in scholarly pursuits, and while we offer vocational training and are concerned about the whole man, we are first and foremost an institution of higher learning, a firm step above high school. Northwestern offers young people the challenge of excellence, of going beyond the commonplace, of diving beneath the surface, of getting to the root of the matter. Much of our most important work will not be immediately visible to the casual observer - or sometimes even to ourselves - because we often deal in intangible, qualitative matters such as ideas, values, attitudes, and perspectives, which are not readily measurable. Thus, even though Northwestern is many things to many people, our focus must be sufficiently clear so as to allow us to do our primary task well. As ,,ff a Christian college, we have a special calling which no other institution, Christian or not, not, can accomplish. We are serious about this vocation. Although there is ample room for leisure activities and genuine recreation on our campus, we believe that it would be unfair to our students and disobedient to our Lord to expect anything less from them Cand those who teach themb than a total intellectual, moral, and spiritual effort. There is too much at stake. Our churches and our world are much in need of committed, thoroughly liberally educated, insightful, sensitive, creative, wise, Spirit-guided Christian laymen and laywomen Cnot to mention clergyy. Faithfulness to Jesus Christ demands the highest achievement possible on the part of faculty and students alike. l press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
