foreword The Aurora of 1959 . . . An Impression of a O hristian O ollege Olivet in 1959; the Aurora presents an impression of that college. It must necessarily be an instantane- ous impression. It is our purpose to record and in- terpret the attitudes which prevailed and the events which occurred on the Olivet campus in the year 1959. College life— a life made up of friends, classes, coffee breaks, dates, finals— a thousand things. These remain vivid impressions of college. But the thoughts of the Olivet student also turn toward a unique fea- ture of his college life— he is attending a Christian College— a college that is dedicated to teaching the principles of Christianity so that they will be em- bodied in the every-day life of the individual. Any school which merely prepares its students academ- ically and socially to take their places in the outside world only partially fulfills the purpose of a true education. Olivet seeks to provide each student with the opportunity for a balanced personal development: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. In reflecting one year ' s activities, this yearbook gives an impression of the pulsations and purposes of a Christian College— Olivet Nazarene College— our Alma Mater.

— g l ,. ... One hundred eight acres at a glance This is the external Olivet— one hundred eight acres at a glance. To obtain an impression of the interwork- ings of our college, one must first have a panoramic view of its physical aspect. In scanning the beautiful landscape which holds Olivet, one sees many different types of buildings. The architecture varies from the Greek-style Admin- istration Building to the modern library. However, there is more to Olivet than merely a few buildings. ONC is alive! As you examine the campus more thoroughly, you will find it busy in activities and you find it at rest from the cares of life. All of these moods play an important role in the many sided life of this college. The pages ahead depict not only the surface activ- ities but the actual pulsations of Olivet ' s heart.
