An educated man without religion is like a ship without a rudder or a powerful automobile without a steering gear, There is no life so much worth while in this world as the Christian life because it promotes the most happiness and contentment and the greatest promise of life hereafter. Therefore, as my contribution to the well being and happiness of this generation and those that follow, I am endowing this institution to help young men and women to prepare themselves for a life of usefulness in this competitive world and to help them build a foundation of Christian character and faith which will survive the storms of life. Young men and women in this college are to be given educational privileges equal to the best in the liberal arts, Bible training, and later, we hope, in preparing for various professions. All instruction is to be under conservative, fundamental Christian supervision with stress upon the importance of strict Christian living. I hope every student who attends this college will embrace the philosophy of life which acknowl- edges our responsibility to God and to our fellowmen. A great gift has been made to each and every one of us-the privilege of living in this world for a short span of years and the oppor- tunity of doing our part to help the less fortunate, to improve civilization, to advance knowledge, both scientific knowledge of men and the wisdom which is from above. And most important of all, the privilege of receiving the eternal redemption offered through Christ's atonement. This gift of human life and the opportunity which is ours to serve others for a short time should be regarded as a sacred trust. As faithful trustees we should direct our lives in the way which will accomplish the greatest possible good. We will thereby honor the Giver and provide a full measure of happiness for ourselves, both in this life and in the life which is to come. We want to build in the student, Christian character and a desire to prepare for Christian service, Christian living, Christian influence in the world. We believe that all should acknowledge the total sovereignty of God and submit our lives fully to His will in faith and action, which encompasses the complete duty of man and is full proof of our acceptable stewardship. H 'George Pepperdine, 1937
