c O LL€ G € WAKE FOREST AND THE MINISTRY SINCE its very coiu-t-ption one hundred years ago Wake Forest tias been es- sentially a school devoted to the cause of Christ and His work. A denomina- tional school, supported and nurtured by the Baptists of the State of North Carolina, it has contributed much to the Herculean task of per] etuating His Kingdom not only in this state but even into the Nation and into the World. Among the men graduating from the school of Religion may be found the names of the foremost preachers of the Baptist Denomination. To recount their names in such a limited space would be impossible. Suffice to say that, it is they who, because of their courage, devotion, and love for Him who is the Father of us all. first brought to their Alma Mater glory, honor, and renown.
