TREVECCA ' S MAN OF THE HOUR Almost if not alto- gether unique in the history of education among holiness col- leges in modern times are the personality and contributions of President A. B. Mackey of our own institution. As a student over a period of years in a number of the foremost universities of America, his chief concern was to seek out knowledge that was most practical and courses of action that were most honorable, whether to do so was popular and conventional or not. His phenom- enal accomplishments as a teacher and admin- istrator have been achieved through the con- scious and consistent observance of the same simple rule of life. With him, fanfare, display and a program of the spectacular have no value in themselves; their sole raison d ' etre is to serve the practical end of increasing his own and his institution ' s usefulness, thereby promoting both right being and efficient doing among all who come under the influence of Trevecca Nazarene College. The result of the operation of a college in accordance with this philosophy is a new, a rehabilitated, Trevecca. We do not believe that present conditions in the institution exhibit a loss in spirituality through the new emphasis on utility. Rather it is our feeling that the recent gains in financial strength, achieved through rigid adherence to a practical economy, have given the college a new prestige in our com- munity, among the people on our educational zone, and throughout the Church of the Naz- arene which has enlarged and intensified the sphere of our spiritual radiance. Some phases in the development of this re- habilitated Trevecca are well known to most of our constituency on J friends. The year 1 94 1 - ' 42 marks the transition of the insti- tution from junior to senior college stand- ing. We take signal pride in the fine class of A.B. and Th.B. grad- uates now going from our halls to emulate the example of our president and thus to perpetuate the ideal of the new Trevecca. Helping to make possible this expansion of our program to the four-year-college level, is the new building, to be entirely completed at least by the opening of school in September, 1942. This building is one of the largest and finest to be found on the campus of any holiness college. In addition, the area of the campus site has been expanded until it is now the largest of the college cam- puses of the Church of the Nazarene. The added acreage is enabling us to develop ade- quate playground facilities as well as to sell lots in appropriate places for the building of homes and the molding together of an ideal college community. This should interest a large group of prospective home builders who are also inter- ested in finding a wholesome, Christian atmos- phere. What Christian parent would not be at- tracted by the opportunities offered for the education of children in this center of Christian faith and workable idealism? What Christian young person will not see here the answer to his queries and the object of his quest for a college with holiness ideals as well as high standards of scholarship and aca- demic attainment? We submit these questions to ministers and laymen, to young and old, throughout our great Southeast.
