Their scholastic attainments are outstanding. Comparatively speak- ing, our faculty has a higher scholastic standing than many of the better known colleges. All of them have had many years of experience in the in- struction of young people and have become experts in their line of teach- ing. More than two-thirds of them have their Master ' s degrees and some have worked toward their Doctors ' . This in itself is a distinguishing mark of accomplishment. Our young people in the Southeastern Educational Zone will find no better teachers anywhere than those in our own Trevecca. Not our faculty ' s scholastic attain- ments alone make them an important part of our church school; their sancti- fied lives wield an influence on our stu- dents that they can never forget. It is essential in a holiness college like ours, whose purpose is to train young men and women for work in the kingdom of God and the church, to have professors

.HE PROPOSED BUILDIN AUDITORIUM AND OUR INSTITUTION We Treveccans are much elated over the progress which has been made on our new auditorium. The significance of this building in rela- tion to the progress of Trevecca is great. The building movement in progress is one of the great movements in Trevecca his- tory which will make our institution a more desirable and outstanding one. Our aim cannot be altered. With the progressive spirit of accomplishment which our student body possesses, the goal must be attained. In later years we students of today will be able to glance back over the intervening years, gaze fondly at this magnificent edifice, and say, We helped; we had a part in its construction. When the time comes for us to leave these sacred halls, which we all love, we shall do so regretfully; yet there is still a bright side. The service we rendered Trevecca will not have ended at this pic- ture; indeed, it will only have begun. We shall then have the opportunity of boost- ing and helping to build a still larger and better Trevecca for the generations of tomorrow. After pledging allegiance to our coun- try and our God, may we forever pledge our undying devotion to our beloved Alma Mater as she weathers the sea of time; bringing a multitude of rich bless- ings to anyone who may sail with her.

and teachers who possess a high spir- it ual and moral standard as well as a high scholastic standing. Each of our teachers has a clear, definite expe- rience of salvation which is reflected in their teaching and everyday living. Our students feel free to call on their teach- ers in times of spiritual or moral need. Every class is ooened with prayer and it is not an uncommon occurrence for a teacher to help some backslidden or unsaved student to pray through and become established in his experience of salvation. This is indeed a factor for which we may boast, for very few col- leges of today offer such a classroom atmosphere. The self-sacrificing spirit of our teachers and their devotion to the up- building of our school has inspired us to love and uphold the ideals of our alma mater. They have dedicated their lives in loving service to the cause of Christian education; their patient and unselfish spirit endears them to our hearts; their noble and inspirational lives have instilled within us a desire to scale the heights and maintain the lofty ideals and standards which they are teaching us.
