filled by Stanton Richardson, a graduate of the class of 1940. Mr. Richardson served for one year and Mr. Zeek succeeded him for a second term as Dean of lVIen in 1942-43. In the early months of 1943, upon the resignation of Dean Perkins, Mr. Strohm was recalled from Nyack and once again became the head of the Insti- tute. VVhen Mr. Strohm returned ta distinct change came into the school and its policies. Up to this time the Superintendent of the Northwestern District had been, by virtue of office, the President of the school. Now, upon the recommendation of the New Nation- al Board of Education, the oflices of Dean and Presi- dent were merged and the new oflice which Mr. Strohm accepted was that of President-Dean. Many changes were made that were definite im- provements. The physical aspect of the campus and building was improved by the addition of shrubbery, the change of otlices for greater efiiciency, the en- largement of the Institute Book Store, the installa- tion of the interofiice communication and public ad- dress system fin honor of Chaplain Floyd Richert of the class of '33 - the first St. Paul Bible Institute Chaplain to be killed in servicel, and the strengthen- ing and change of location of the library. And with these changes came another strengthening of the faculty of the school: H. L. Turner as the Director of the Bible and Theology Department, Donald I. Kenyon as Dean of Men and Instructor in Bible, Miss Ethel F oust, formerly of Taylor University, as Instructor in the Humanities. In 1945 Charles H. Shaw was appointed to the new and responsible position of Business Manager, while Miss Mary Hoffman Q now Mrs. W. Myersj was appointed to the new position of Librarian. Then a new step was taken that is to set a prece- dent for years to come. On February 12, 1946, the St. Paul Bible Institute presented World Missions Night. Six student speakers spoke of the needs of the world all around, while the Choral Club assisted in setting the musical background. It was such a chal- lenge to the hearts of young men and women that scores rose to their feet in a new consecration to the Lord of the Harvest. Yes, the year 1946 ushered in one of the most glorious in the history of the St. Paul Bible Institute. New strides were taken, great things were accom- plished for the Lord and Master. Praise His Holy Name! The year 1946 saw the Choral Club catch a new vision of a lost world that needs Christ - saw them reach outacross the continent to the east and the I 1. - ' f . - ' .gg -.F - we... f -. wi. i li .Jaw tx .. , ffl -' E -Mtg-'11, -if-.Ill ,qui -fr 1 mm 'Q ,1 ,miiiwj .lug llc' , L' 1' pl- ,L .s v a - ' :'ailii.,if l 4 12 ls, 1 q .

The year 1946 saw our servicemen returning with a clear vision of the task that the Lord has given them to do. The year 1946 saw prayers answered and saw, on April 24, the first spadeful of earth upturned as the first step in the building of our new dormitory. The year 1946 saw our beloved school with a peak enrollment of 314 students, all desiring to know Him in His fullness and His power, so that they might tell others of His love. The year 1946 saw the beginning of our Chris- tian Service Department with Rev. G. A. French as Director. The year 1946 saw the real beginning of a Ladies' Choir under the direction of Miss Lucile Maxwell, Instructor in Music. The year 1946 saw the addition to our faculty of Mrs. A. B. Raines to fill the position of Dean of Women left vacant by Miss Cora Schultz, and Rev. S. R. Richardson as Registrar and Instructor in Bible and Theology, and Rev. C. Wenninger as Instructor in the Humanities. The year 1946 led us into the year 1947 and led us to january 6 when another milestone was passed. The men who had lived in the attic barracks since last September began to move into their new private rooms. On the same day the new kitchen and dining room, seating between 250 and 300, swung into oper- ation. This miracle building alone would be enough to make our Thirtieth Anniversary an outstanding event. God has been gracious in doing more than we could ask or think. It has been thirty years of constant growth both materially and, more impor- tant, spiritually. The year 1946-47 has been a year of untold blessing. We have a beautiful new dormitory, a new lounge, a new dining room - the Lord has been good! But above all these material things there is something far more vital - He has given us a new VISION of those that are lost without Him. Thanks be unto God!
