' 1 0PL iaiiUi@i Office of the President April 28, 1930 Dear Student j Bethany-Ieniel College is a wonderful place. On this campus the home- like atmosphere anfl the friendships are beautiful, close and lasting. The activities are clean and wholesomej fitting into the framework of building a well-rounded Christian character. The instruction is sound and trustworthy. Our appreciation of this hone-like atmosphere, these associations and privileges should grow with the years. The aRROVi lias given an excellent portrayal of the home- like atmosphere of B.l.C. far the 1949-50 school year. They have preserved for us sane of these graphic, colorful scenes ich make up our college life. But to adequately appreciate the Spirit of the College it is necessary to be associated with the College, The value of study, the import of courses, the impact of the chapel, the influence of friends, the worship of the church and the guidance of our leaders will be revealed in their true worth as we draw upon the strength which they have contributed to oar lives as we find ourselves weak because of oar failure to have properly appreciated and stored these riches. May we at once, if we have not al- ready done so, make such personal adjustment as will enable us in life ' s eventide to review with gratitude, and without embarrassment, the pages of this record which our efficient AEKCSt Staff has given us. Mow, we face both today and tomorrow. That gives us dual responsibility. Vihat may seem expedient for today, when it is judged in the light of to- morrow, may be wholly inadequate. For that reason, I ask each one of you to think carefully, counsel freely and pray earnestly before you make decisions which may mean a complete change in your life. This is our day — and what a day of opportunity. You have the chance of making history— today — and tomorrow, T hat kind of history will you write? And as you fill life ' s scroll with the deeds of each succeeding day, do not forget that the world will ultimately be won, not by a crown but by a Cross. The home-like atmosphere of B,I-,u. is helping you build for time and eternity. C : bl Hey h CantreHTPresident CHARACTER • CULTURE • CHRIST 20
