ifod fmnS dty Pattkakei, JUmote OFFICE OF THE PRBSIDENT arold W. Reed, Th. D. To the Student Body: Olivet Nazarene College is a Christian institution of higher learning. Education With a Christian Purpose , is more than a slogan or a pious sentiment. It embraces, for Olivetians, a way of life which is to be lived through the college experience, and throughout life. To achieve this philosophy of higher education, your faculty has care- fully defined its institutional objectives. The whole educational pro- gram has been tested in the light of these principles. However, the central focus of college religion is the student. Religion here at Olivet must have a large place in the college program. It must function to unify the entire curriculum. It must provide for experiences of cor- porate worship. It must make available religious counsel and help to any who need it. It must be manifest in professors who are examples of scholarship and piety. This way of higher education attempts to assist the student in devel- oping a wholesome and well-integrated Christian personality, thus pre- paring him for intelligent Christian citizenship . It attempts to point every student to Christ who is the way, the truth, and the life . This way of Christian scholarship should best fit you for a life which is rich, and fruitful in Christian living and service. Sincerely your friend, 4-9 Ui U). (RjuJu Harold W.
