President's Message This year, 1950, has been widely hailed as Mid-Century Year. How appropriately we pause a moment to survey the past and look forward to the future! From this rare vantage point, we are able to look back upon the first five decades of the twentieth century. In many areas phenomenal progress is evident, especially in science and technology. Supersonic speed in transportation, instant communication across great distances, vast spreading networks of power transmission lines, an endless variety of commercial products, astounding medical discoveries-these are symbols of our progress. In the realm of human relations, however, the picture is far from encouraging. These five decades are characterized by two great global wars and almost endemic international turmoil, by skepticism and lack of interest in things of the spirit, and by a worship of material entities. As we turn from the past and attempt to peer into the future, we see at first only the dark clouds of strife between two antagonistic world orders on this one small planet. We hear only the ominous sounds of plowshares being beaten into swords in preparation for a final titanic struggle for universal domination. But as we observe more closely, we can see in the distance the agencies of the all merciful one, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will, and we rest confident in the knowledge that the future of this world is in the hand of God. Nor do we fear for ourselves, for we are buoyed up by the assurance that God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be led if they could see the end from the beginning. With confidence in our God, we take up the task He has outlined for us. May every son and daughter of Pacific Union College in this Mid-Century Year so do His will that in the never-ending future of the hereafter we may meet as an unbroken family at the feet of the Master Teacher! . . may
