The Work of Union College  
H 

OME always looks good to those who have been on  
a journey afar. By the same operation of sentiment  
Union College binds to it the hearts of forty-one  
graduating classes and thousands of students who are at  
the outer ends of golden cords, who hold trustworthy posi-
tions, and who live quiet Christian lives. The sun never sets  
on Union's representatives. Around the world at nightfall  
some one's busy muscles relax, some one's eyes are medi- 
tative, some one sits silently, thinking, "Dear old Union—
the college on the hill—loyal to thy standards- -  
Few students spend more than one year at a senior  
college if their coming is not voluntary. Consequently the  
majority of Unionites who have spent two or three or five  
years at Union and have entered into its spirit and purposes  
are supporters of the col-  
lege. For this reason  
strangers to the school  
ought in all justice to con- 
sider the source of their  
information when they  
draw conclusions about  
Union.  
Union's merits need no  
heralding and broadcast- 
ing. Her work is not to  
preach Union throughout  
the world but the gospel  
of Jesus Christ. Her rea- 
son for existing is to sup- 
ply the youth of the Mid- 
dle West with ideals of  
scholarship and standards  
of living, with an atmos- 
phere that breeds this fine  
combination into receptive  
hearts. Many of the  
young people of this sec- 
tion of America come and partake of Union's spirit; and  
the manner in which Mid-Westerners partake can be judged  
not by the standards of Easterners, Southerners, or West- 
erners but by those of Mid-Westerners.  
Undergraduate work is a tantalizer. It should give one  
a degree of proficiency in at least one or two lines, but  
mainly it should acquaint one with the infinite fields before  
him and serve as a stimulus for further research. At the  
completion of the four-year course one should feel that he  
has discovered the world around him and that he is going to  
enjoy learning about it the rest of his life.  
It should be the ideal of any college to maintain a strict  
program of scholarship not to be sacrificed to the gods of  
society or extra-curricular affairs or expediency. As a pre- 
scribed diet of neat packets of pills is not the food for  
healthy people (pills are for sick folk and weaklings), so  
true scholarship aims not to parcel out neat lessons to be   

memorized, but to instill in the minds of students a love for  
voluntary research, for drawing original conclusions, and  
for first-hand study in the realms of knowledge. Union and  
her sister schools are organizations that endeavor by such  
procedure to develop men who are able to think, men who  
understand scholarship, culture, and Christian living.  
In the work required for the bachelor of arts degree there  
is much, much room, however, for broadening horizons. The  
student is expected during his course to discard his high- 
school rah-rahs, to develop the understanding of a searching  
mind, and really to work. He sees in each required subject  
a part of the whole that makes an educated man balanced.  
In his science courses he learns to understand the scientific  
attitude; in his literature courses he learns to associate the  
writing produced with the  
thinking of its time and  
see it in its relation to  
man. An educated man is  
one who, understanding  
the phases of knowledge  
in  their  relation to the  
whole, does not make him- 
self ridiculous in the eyes  
of a specialist by showing  
himself ignorant in asso- 
ciating the importance or  
value of one phase with  
another.  
Union does not intend  
to graduate every spring  
a class of geniuses for  
which the world is clamor- 
ing, though she need not  
be ashamed of the posi- 
tions held by many of her  
students. Union does,  
however, aim to release  
from her doors every spring a few hundred young men  
and women, the majority truly Christians, some of whom  
may follow the inspiration of the golden cords and some  
of whom may live quietly here and there—stronger, nobler,  
more thoughtful men and women to meet life squarely and  
sanely and courageously. If her sons and daughters find in  
life a joy in learning and working and a generous interest  
in world needs, Union's purpose is not defeated.  
It is, then, with the understanding that Union is one of  
a number of colleges participating in accordance with Sev- 
enth-day Adventist principles that this  Golden Cords  issue  
of  THE CLOCK TOWER  is published in order that (1) friends  
of Union may have the privilege of reviewing acquaintance  
with growing Union, her faculty, and her students; (2) that  
there be increased an interest in Union among the youth  
who may come to spend some time  
feel the pull of the Golden Cords.

1 42ND   ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT  
M 
ORE than forty college generations have marched  
through the halls of Union College, trod the walks of  
her spacious campus, studied in her class rooms, made social  
contacts among her school family—eventually, by years, a  
fair portion of them being graduated. The 1933 classes are  
specifically the forty-second to receive diplomas from this  
institution.  
In the particulars noted above, there is no essential dif- 
ference between this class and the forty-one such groups  
that have preceded them. In  
other particulars the present  
group is distinctive. The  
class became freshmen in the  
autumn of the most prosper- 
ous year in the history of the  
most prosperous nation of  
modern times, when the very  
stability of society was, para- 
doxically enough, under- 
mined by a presumptuous se- 
curity, when not only ma- 
terial values were distorted  
but spiritual values even  
more so, when, consequently,  
clear heads and genuine de- 
votion were requisite to ac- 
curate judgment and right- 
eous resolves, and when only  
the fittest were not beguiled.  
Yet in that treacherous time  
we find a group of young  
people just out of high school  
or academy deciding to come  
to a Christian college of the  
Union type, a college that  
stands for the subordination  
of a man to the greater in- 
terest of his neighbor. That  
decision, in the face of al- 
lurements otherwise, is a  
testimony to the devotion of  
the current graduating class.  
By eminent contrast, within the span of a college course  
these same young people are graduating at the time of  
America's most terrific and inert depression. The very fact  
that these graduates have held on during the two past try- 
ing years speaks wonders of their tenacity and belief in  
Baccalaureate

Mr. Edison's famous recipe. It is doubtless accurate to  
say that  finishing  a course in these strenuous times is more  
of a tribute than  beginning  one in the delusive days of 1929.  
The graduates of 1933 are not more resolute or more clear- 
headed than the graduates of other years; they have all had  
the same constituents of birth, religion, and scholastic oppor- 
tunity. But peculiar circumstances have given the graduates  
of this year an unparalleled opportunity for distinguished  
evidence of devotion and high purposes. The friends of the  
graduates of 1933 are en- 
couraged by the evidence  
that there yet remains faith  
in the world.  
The accompanying pro- 
grams showing the order of  
events at the various func- 
tions in connection with com-
mencement are too sketchy to  
reveal the worthwhile nature  
of the different things said  
and done. Of special interest  
in this connection is the pre- 
sentation of  The Substance  
of Things Unseen,  a dramat- 
ic cycle in miracle-morality  
form. This presentation is in- 
debted to the Spirit of  
Prophecy for its thesis and  
to a notable incident in de- 
nominational history for its  
pivotal episode. A young  
man and his sister on a farm  
in one of the prairie states are  
fortunate enough to have the  
friendship of an understand-  
ing conference president who  
appreciates the potential abil-  
ities of young people if they  
have the right vision, proper  
training, and an opportunity.  
This conference president  
persuades the young man to  
attend Union College. The transformation in the young  
man's life and his subsequent achievement in the cause of  
truth constitute the main narrative of the story. This seems  
eminently fitting in view of the things for which Union  
College stands and has stood for nearly half a century.

JUNIORS

VIRGINIA STEVENS,  Secretary  	 WILLIAM HANSON, Treasurer  
PROF. H. K. SCHILLING,  Class Counselor  
It isn't numerical strength that underlies the desirability  
of attaining to the rank of junior. Nor is the proverbial  
jollity of this class a by-product of an automatic freedom  
from school work, a sudden upward leap in the I. Q., or an  
exalted position in the respect and the adoration of the  
lower classmen.  
Junior joviality is only a natural outgrowth of the friend- 
liness and camaraderie that develop in a few years of play- 
ing and studying together in the presence of a common foe.  
Members of this class know each other by now and ap- 
preciate each other on the basis of plans undertaken and  
carried out successfully. Maturity brings richness and ripe- 
ness to friendship. Juniors can have good times that are  
not colored by the "sadness of farewell" of the seniors.  
Another year of glorious conquests and fruitful study lies  
ahead.  
A grave significance attaches to Junior standing, for at  
this stage in the scholastic progression the student has be- 
come a candidate for admission to the Senior class. Having  
survived the elimination process that sorts out the fittest, he  
is rounding the corner for the last lap. Juniors are the stuff  
of which seniors are made.  
This junior class came into being as an organization  
April 25 with a membership of ten. It showed its punch  
by taking care of three problems simultaneously and almost  
at once. While one committee was organizing plans for   

entertaining the seniors, another considered class colors. As  
The preparations for the senior party were being made.  
junior officers had to plan to take charge of the Sabbath  
School. A complication in the form of the illness of two  
members of the class meant more work for the eight sur- 
vivors, but no one shirked. And so on Monday, May 1,  
invitations were sent to the seniors; on Tuesday the juniors  
marched into the dining room at noon to display their colors  
in the form of red linen handkerchiefs with the number "34"  
in black; on the evening of May 4 the seniors were enter- 
tained; and on Sabbath the junior Sabbath-school program  
was given. This is good evidence that juniors are not juve- 
nile, despite a connotation and pronunciation similarity in  
the two words. Execution of the senior plans for decoration  
and ushering at commencement and participation in the joint  
senior-junior picnic completed the official activities of the  
class.  
The current crop of juniors comes from all over the  
Union—from as far south as Texas, as far north as Minne- 
sota, as far east as the Atlantic, as far west as the moun- 
tains. A variety of interests is represented in this group.  
Here are to be found musicians, teachers, historians, literary 
folk, scientists, commerce majors, artists of the spoken word,  
artists of the brush, preachers, and gospel salesmen.  
Prospects are bright for another senior class that will  
be impressive by virtue of its capable personnel.

ADMINISTRATION  
In the main building  
are found four offices of  
the administration: the  
business office, and the of- 
fices of the president, the  
registrar, and the dean  
and business manager.  
Every student becomes  
vitally interested in each  
of these offices more or  
less frequently throughout  
his college career, and be- 
comes rather well ac- 
quainted with the chief  
executive, M. L. Andrea- 
sen, the registrar, Ruby  
Lea, the dean and business manager, Alvin W. Johnson, and  
the treasurer, H. L. Keene. The new student first visits the  
registrar's and dean's offices as he registers for class work  
and makes financial arrangements to attend college. Then as  
he may need counsel concerning some of his problems he  
may become better acquainted with the president. He will  
find the officers of the administration always ready and will- 
ing to help him when any question or problem arises.  
From the president's, dean's and registrar's offices comes  
most of the promotion material for student campaigns,  
answers to letters of inquiry from prospective students, and  
letters of encouragement and advice to those who wish to  
come to Union but for some reason cannot see their way   

clear. The three offices co- 
operate in the matter of  
such letters, those of in- 
quiry going to the office  
that can answer best the  
questions asked; names of  
those interested in attend- 
ing college are sent to the  
registrar's office,where the  
mailing list for catalogues  
and promotion material is  
kept as up-to-date as pos- 
sible. The business,  
dean's, and registrar's of- 
fices also serve as a sort  
of information bur ea u,  
and members of the force in each office attempt to answer  
whatever questions may be asked concerning anything that  
pertains to the college, work, and other data concerning en- 
rolment from year to year.  
In the dean's office careful record is kept of the financial  
arrangements made by students when they enter college; at  
appropriate times these records are checked.  
Records of the students' accounts are kept in the business  
office. This is the place each student visits on settlement day  
every month to receive statements and settle accounts. The  
book store is also located in this office to accommodate  
students who wish to purchase books or other articles sold  
from the store.  
LIBRARY  
"Well, our department  
has been a popular one to- 
day," said the audacious  
little statue which stands  
boldly on top of the open  
shelves in the library,  
when the key was turned  
in the lock and he heard  
Mr. Hilt's step receding.  
"Yes, it is amusing,"  
Luther's statue replied, "to  
watch each one of the stu- 
dents in his own charac- 
teristic mannerism. The  
intensity of their study is  
seen not only in their fac- 
ial expression but also in  
their postures. I always  
notice the boys assume a languid manner when they are  
reading the newspaper or some magazine or book from your  
shelves. Do you know, I have often wondered what is in the  
other room. Can you see in there from where you stand?"  
"Yes, I can see just one corner of the room," his neigh- 
bor replied. "That is the reference room. They have many  
different sets of books in there called encyclopedias. Then  
there are commentaries, dictionaries of all the foreign lan- 
guages, some mammoth dictionaries of the English language,  
dictionaries of science, music, classical literature, and na-  

tional biography, who's who books, atlases, and other ref- 
erence books."  
"Well, there certainly are enough interesting things that  
go on here every day in the library to make time fly," the  
smaller statue continued. "I believe the most amusing thing 
of all is to watch the facial contortions of some of the stu- 
dents when they are putting on what they think is concen- 
trated study."  
"Yes," replied his friend, laying down his book and as- 
suming a more relaxed pose, "I take it that many of the  
students have just awakened to the fact that their final  
examinations will come next week, and they are attempting  
to do a semester's work in these last few days."  
"Oh," exclaimed Luther's statue, "I heard the librarian  
say the other day that we have 13,650 books now in our  
library. There seem to be some books that are in greater  
demand than all the others. They are the ones which have  
been assigned for special study, I presume."  
"Yes," answered the smaller statue, "and woe to the  
student who keeps them out past the hour they are due.  
The other day one of the girls had gone off on a picnic  
and left two of those precious reserve books in her room.  
When she remembered them and brought them in that eve- 
ning her fine was eighty cents."  
"That was an expensive picnic for that young lady,"  
remarked Luther's statue. "Well, friend, we have talked  
long enough. I must get in my six winks so that I can hold  
'my pose tomorrow,"


DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY I  
THE GOSPEL WORKERS' SEMINAR  
In the center of the front row are the three Bible teachers: President M. L. Andreasen,  
Pastor J. S. Schilling, Pastor Frank Yost  
The purpose of the theological department at Union  
College is to train young people to bring the gospel of Christ  
to a world that needs it desperately. And to the extent that  
confused thinking and unpremeditated acting is more preva- 
lent then ever before, to that extent is the gospel needed  
more than ever before. Society today stands in need of men  
who can see through the thick darkness to the resplendent  
light that invariably comes wherever the "good news" is  
heard and received.  
Union College would have small reason for existing if  
it did not, through its students, put forth every effort to  
lift that large portion of humanity not so greatly favored as  
many are. Seventh-day Adventists are the recipients of prin- 
ciples that are not to be hidden under a basket.  
The department of theology has, through its consecrated  
instructors, implanted into the lives of many students that  
drive and urge which is necessary to and which has always  
been evident in the Christian church. Spiritual values are  
difficult, yes, impossible to measure accurately. Prone to use  
the dollar as a yardstick, we forget that the most valuable  
and enduring attributes of men are evaluated by entirely  
different means. Many students have left Union's doors to  
go everywhere for the sake of the gospel. They have not  
been dismayed by difficulties encountered. They have not  
counted their lives dear unto themselves. They have gone  
on and have not retreated. Who shall presume to determine  
the value of the work they have done? Many others have  
found responsibility in the work of their home churches.  
Their work is as important as that of those who have gone   

to the distant places of the earth. In too many localities,  
churches are dying for want of intelligent and sympathetic  
leadership. The young people need help. This can be given  
best by those who have been trained for the work.  
It is the purpose of Union College to strengthen further  
its work in the theological department. An important factor  
is the projected school of theology. The students will have  
the privilege of contact with men who have been indispens- 
able in the building of this denomination. The field work of  
the Gospel Workers' Seminar will be further strengthened.  
More churches will be reached and more extensive soul- 
winning efforts put forth. Much good work has been done  
during the past year. Seven churches have been visited  
regularly. A training has been afforded to young people who  
intend to enter the ministerial work. The churches have been  
strengthened by the efforts of these young men. The vigor  
of youth has always been utilized by God for the furthering  
of His work on earth. And as the time draws nearer when  
the Lord is to bring to a culmination His work in behalf  
of mankind, it is clear that the young will perform a large  
and important part. The Scriptures emphatically indicate  
this to be true.  
We look forward with much anticipation to the future of  
this important department of our college. It is certain that  
the Lord will finish His work. It is equally certain that large  
numbers will go directly from this college into the Lord's  
work. The theological department of Union College will do  
its part in sending out workers who are anxious to be used  
by the Lord in the great enterprise soon to he finished.

HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT  
The spirit of our time  
calls for a sympathetic un- 
derstanding of other races  
and peoples, for a broad  
outlook on life, and for a  
deep tolerance of our fel- 
low men of other nations  
and languages. Modern  
communication and trans- 
portation together with the  
industrialization of the  
world have had the effect  
of shrinking the globe.  
Today a man can buy a  
ticket from almost any  
part of the world to any  
other point. Cities that  
were weeks away from  
each other in point of traveling time in 1900 are within  
twelve hours of each other today. Since this change brings  
all nations and people into closer contact there is an imper- 
ative need of a better understanding. With this need there  
also comes a need of a closer cooperation and friendship.  
In order better to understand other peoples it is important  
to know their background and the story of their rise to im- 
portance in world affairs.  
The roots of many of our present-day institutions trace  
back to the medieval period. To appreciate them fully one  
must understand these medieval beginnings. It is with this   

in mind that we study the past, for we know it is the key  
to the present. Our aim is an intelligent understanding of  
relationships.  
Our time is not spent wholly among the musty documents  
of other years. A cultured man is well read. He knows what  
is worth while and interprets passing events. Students are 
encouraged to form correct reading habits and are taught  
to discriminate between the questionable and the reliable  
sources. It is intended that a course in history at Union  
College will daily open up new vistas to the student, will  
arouse a greater interest in the cultural, intellectual, and  
spiritual things of life. Every recitation period is entered  
upon in a prayerful hope that by a study of the past or  
present the future of each individual and the world may be  
made better by our having studied the great problems of  
all time together.  
The new classes for 1933-34 will be Russian Revolu- 
tion, two hours; Rise of the Adventist Movement, two hours;  
and Current History, one hour each semester. Russia fur- 
nishes one of the most interesting experiments in govern- 
ment, industry, society, and religion in history, which we  
have in our own day the privilege of studying. We expect  
a large enrolment in this subject. The Rise of the Advent- 
ist Movement will be a study of the beginnings of the  
Seventh-day Adventist church in America, tracing its pro- 
gress to the organization of the General Conference in 1863.  
The class in Current History will consist of a study of cur- 
rent happenings in the world and an interpretation of these  
in the light of prophecy and past history.  
EDUCATION AND NORMAL TRAINING  I  
A thoroughly satisfactory Department of Education and  
Normal Training operates at Union College. It has for its  
aim the preparation of teachers for elementary and secondary  
schools in Union College territory.  
Besides the theoretical instruction in the college class- 
room, in the normal traning school which is conducted by the  
department students who are preparing for elementary teach- 
ing observe and put into practice the theories and methods  
studied under the direction of specialized critic teachers.  

Methods and practice teaching of the high-school level are  
offered to those interested in preparation for secondary  
teaching.  
Union College is accredited with the Nebraska Depart- 
ment of Education and students graduated from Union are  
entitled to receive ample certification from the state.  
Union College meets all the requirements of a normal  
training school and is proud of her record for efficient service  
in this field.

THE PRE-MEDICAL CLUB  
The student of science  
today is surrounded and  
overwhelmed with materi- 
als for interesting and  
profitable thinking. Facts  
old and new crowd upon  
him for orientation and  
interpretation. Never has  
the Universe seemed so  
wonderful in its great re- 
alities, its evident design, 
and its promise for the fu- 
ture, nor so subtle and in- 
scrutable in its mysterious  
foundations. What is the  
nature and the meaning of  
it all? Can science now  
give us answers? One of  
the greatest facts and deepest mysteries of the Un - 
verse is  life.  Science defines life as ''a dynamic equi- 
librium in a polyphasic system consisting of proteins, fats,  
carbohydrates, sterols, lipoids, cycloses and water." Science  
describes in much detail many phenomena associated with  
life in living organisms.  
Many thoughtful scientists—more today than formerly— 
confess that the field of religion has an important relation  
to the observed facts of the Universe. While some are say- 
ing, "Render unto science the things that are science's and  
unto religion the things that are religion's," implying that  
science and religion are legitimate but unrelated fields, others  
maintain that "the science of a religious man may be scien- 
tific, and the religion of a scientific man may be religious."  

Within the last year some definite improvements in the  
facilities for giving the several courses in chemistry, physi- 
ology, and zoology have been made. Two new ccurses,  
advanced organic chemistry and physical chemistry, have  
been given this year for the first time as work on a chemistry  
major. A new advanced chemistry laboratory, equipped with  
laboratory tables having adequate locker space, water, gas,  
compressed air and electric service connections, was put in  
operation. The new equipment and apparatus include the  
following items with accessories: a Parr oxygen bomb calor- 
imeter for measurement of heats of chemical reactions, fuel  
value of coal, etc., an Abbe refractometer, a half-shadow  
polarimeter, a Lind electroscope and discharge chamber for  
study of radioactive substances, an electrically controlled  
thermostat, a five-dial Wheatstone bridge, a galvanometer,  
several voltmeters and ammeters of suitable ranges.  
In the study of science one is apt to become engrossed  
in the technicalities and fail to grasp the significances—a  
special case of the can't-see-the-woods-for-the-trees short- 
coming of the human mind. As a matter of intellectual hon- 
esty and protection, one needs also to discriminate carefully  
between demonstrated facts and hypotheses. Even some  
so-called scientific facts may need to be reclassified as hy- 
potheses. Not without good cause has Dr. Nicholas Murray  
Butler, president of Columbia University, made this pertinent  
statement which could easily be illustrated by interesting  
examples: "Theoretically the average scientist will admit  
that many of his beliefs are mere hypotheses; but practically  
he will fight for them as if they were demonstrated facts.  
In view of the constantly shifting grounds of scientific data,  
the men of science ought to be thankful for the tolerance  
with which their dogmatizing is received."


In line with the intent  
of all departments at  
Union College the English  
courses are organized to  
provide for the students  
essential information, re-  
spect 	 f o r 	 scholarship,  
sound training in method,  
and a reasonable amount  
of that sheer joy in learn- 
ing which always distin- 
guishes liberal arts study.  
This optimistic attitude  
should keep the students  
and teachers cheerful even  
through valleys of drudg- 
ery requisite to achieve- 
ment, because worthwhile  
achievement gives plea- 
sure. No informed teacher  
promises his students joy  
unmixed with hard work—the kind of hard work that in  
habit-fixing processes may require intense plodding.  
Without apology and with recurring attention to the ex- 
actions of learning, the English department at Union College  
hopes to give the students help and joy according to th ,   
principles indicated above. This is true from "English I a"  
on through to the most advanced courses offered. We thor-

ENGLISH AND JOURNALISM  
oughly espouse the doctrine that accuracy and elegance in  
our native tongue is supreme gracefulness, and that ad- 
vanced literature courses which, by permitting slovenly anal- 
yses and wandering criticisms in loose English, fail to em- 
phasize this truth in education are preposterously stupid.  
Literature courses are planned to provide the cultural  
satisfactions that derive from a study of the humanities.  
There is adequate provision for advanced study in a diver- 
sity of upper division classes spanning the field of English  
literature. Library growth has been and is being developed to  
fit into the needs of this work as carried on by the English  
department. Our new plan of graduation, harmonizing with  
the work of the departments, should make the graduates  
from and students in this field secure in the soundness and  
reliability of their information.  
The practical elements of English study are emphasized  
because a scientist must know English in order to express his  
ideas properly and accurately, a business man must use good  
English if he would command the respect of his clientele,  
a teacher of any subject who uses incorrect English is a  
jest, and above all, the minister or gospel worker must be  
careful of his words or he will cheapen his high calling and  
offend the sensibilities of refined people. Often a good and  
righteous cause is defeated by its unfair presentation either  
of language or of logic. Potential messengers of truth must  
not cheat their cause.  
For these reasons we try to make our English studies  
"come home to men's business and bosoms."  
MODERN LANGUAGES  
The most intimate con- 
tact—next to a personal  
visit—we can have with  
the people of a foreign  
nation is to know their  
language. For the major- 
ity of us this will remain  
the most direct means of  
learning to appreciate  
thoughts, ideals, customs,  
and cultures differing from  
our own. A knowledge of  
French, German, and  
Spanish permits us to feel  
quite directly the pulse of  
important foreign nations.  
Speaking, writing, and  
reading our mother tongue  
brings us into a closer re- 
lationship with our fami- 
lies, our neighborhood, our home-town, and our nation.  
These abilities in other modern languages will span the gap  
between ourselves and innumerable situations which the com- 
plexities and ramifications of our modern world offer.  
- Study, merely for discipline, is waste," President Chad- 
bourne once said. College students of today want courses 
not only that discipline and develop the mind but also that  
have direct values in themselves or in relation to special  
training. With both practical and cultural aims in mind, the   

modern language department of Union College is striving  
to fulfil present-day demands.  
Modern foreign languages once learned in high school  
or college are not relegated to the realm of forgotten things.  
Professor M. V. O'Shea, after making a nationwide investi- 
gation, reported that 86 per cent of those persons who had  
studied French for two years in high school considered this  
time well spent, and substantially the same testimony was  
given concerning German and Spanish.  
Acquiring conversational and writing ability in a foreign  
language is essential to complete understanding and is, of  
course, a primary or secondary requirement in a number of  
occupations. However, reading ability in foreign languages  
is a vital and practical tool within the reach of every student  
who gives enthusiastic attention to study.  
Even in our native tongue we are continually endeavor- 
ing to improve our reading technique. An improved tech- 
nique in reading foreign languages is a tangible result of  
modern language study. Alfred I. Roehm points out that  
the average student can in two years of college language  
attain a reading speed of practical value, which would mean  
a speed of about one-half as great as that done in thorough  
reading in English.  
A knowledge of foreign languages extends our outlook  
on life beyond national boundaries and thus we partake more  
fully of life's meanings. It makes for a more profound un- 
derstanding of events otherwise incomprehensible. It widens  
the scope of national good citizenship and Christian fellow- 
ship to include world citizenship and Christian brotherhood.

PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS  
There has recently ap- 
peared another book by  
Alfred North Whitehead.  
It is entitled  Adventures  
of Ideas. It  has been  
called "a brilliant history  
of the human race. -  Rath- 
er suggestive, isn't it? Al- 
so startling. Heretofore  
we  have thought of his- 
tory largely in terms of  
the sword. Can it be that  
the story can be told as  
a great adventure in the  
realm of thought? The  
courses offered in the De- 
partment of Physics and  
Mathematics and the  
methods of teaching with- 
in that department are based upon the supposition that the  
story can thus be told. After all, we live—really live— 
mostly in our thoughts and dreams. Happy is the man who  
has something to think and dream about—also, rare is that  
man. Physics and mathematics will give that something to  
any one who desires it fervently enough.  
Students can choose either physics or mathematics as  
their major field of interest and study. There is a well- 
balanced and comprehensive program of study in both fields.  

Altogether too often physics and mathematics have been  
thought of in terms of bread-and-butter practicality, in terms  
of cogwheels and interest tables. Some schools, though more  
particularly secondary schools, classify automobile mechan- 
ics as physics and bookkeeping as mathematics. What a  
travesty. As well call piano tuning music and advertising  
literature. While it is true that music may be helpful in  
piano tuning, and that the appreciation of literary values  
may be useful in advertising, while it cannot be denied that  
physics is indispensable in engineering and that mathematics  
is no handicap to the accountant, nevertheless music, litera- 
ture, physics, and mathematics are "of use" mainly in the  
realm of the spirit. Only on such a basis can physics and  
mathematics justify their inclusion in the curriculum of our  
liberal arts college. At Union College they are taught, or  
intended to be taught, from that viewpoint.  
It is being recognized more and more by educators that  
participation by undergraduates in a program of research  
is valuable training. It is doubtful that the meaning of  
truth and of science is ever really understood by any except  
those who have felt the joys and pains of exploration and  
discovery in the great unknown regions beyond present  
knowledge. For that reason a research program in physics  
has been started as a part of the regular work of this de- 
partment. Students majoring in physics, therefore, have al- 
ready and will in the future continue to have the opportunity  
of engaging in original investigation along with their more  
formal studies.  
COMMERCE DEPARTMENT  
A striking develop- 
ment has taken place in  
recent years in the growth  
and expansion of the com- 
mercial departments in  
small liberal arts colleges.  
As a result of this devel- 
opment, many of these  
colleges have incorporated  
business courses in the  
general curriculum. This  
development is compatible  
with the aim and purpose  
of the liberal arts college  
and stands out as a pro- 
gressive step.  
It is no expectation on  
the part of the Commer- 
cial Department that its  
graduates will at once be  
able to assume important  
administrative  	 positions.  
It is the belief, however,  
that a college training of  
the kind proposed at Union College will shorten the ap- 
prenticeship so that at the end of a few year the students  
will be farther advanced and have a more comprehensive  
outlook over the whole field of business activity than they  

otherwise would. The course is not designed to give students  
a "short cut" to business positions. It is intended to prepare  
students to become business executives and at the same time  
furnish cultural background and sound ethical thinking.


MUSIC  

t.  
"Open my ears to music; let me thrill with Spring's first  
flutes and drums."  
Music finds an honored place among the many activities  
of Union College. As an art, music may be practiced alone  
or in company with others. The pianist, violinist, or singer  
at Union gets training in preparation for solo or concerted  
work. That he benefits thereby has been proved in the many  
public demonstrations given throughout the year.  
What are the special advantages to be gained by music  
study at Union? First, excellent, up-to-date instruction by  
competent teachers. Second, participation in public and  
studio recitals and opportunities of performing for the Sab- 
bath School, Missionary Volunteer Society, and such associa- 
tions. Third, concerted playing or singing in such organiza- 
tions as the college orchestra, the Sabbath School, or Prof.  
C. C. Engel's stringed orchestra, the college chorus, the  
vocal ensemble, glee clubs, or—in smaller groups—double  
and single quartets.  
Every person should have some music experience and a  
certain amount of music training. Not every one can become  
a splendid performer but all may, with a little expended  
effort, become intelligent listeners.  
For the performers, abundant opportunity is offered at  
Union in the various music organizations. For the listeners   

—what? At chapel each Monday and Wednesday some min- 
iature musical gem is performed as a prelude to the exercises  
proper. Throughout the year the Music Department provides  
a share of interesting and worth-while Saturday evening  
programs. This past year three programs have been pre- 
sented by the orchestra, two by the vocal ensemble, one by  
the chorus, and two solo recitals by students. These pro- 
grams offered piano concertos, symphonies, overtures, can- 
tatas, splendid a  cappella  and other choral music, arias, and  
a number of miscellaneous pieces of worth.  
Add to all this the fact that classes are held in history  
of music, harmony, counterpoint, music appreciation, church  
music, and choir training and at once it will be apparent  
that Union offers special opportunities for the serious music  
student or the music lover.  
Besides piano, voice, and violin, private instruction is  
given in all wind instruments in orchestration, in composition.  
and in piano tuning.  
In these days of unrest and uncertainty the buoying  
influence of music is especially needed. Music is a splendid  
tonic. It gives courage, ennobles the thoughts, makes the  
heart joyous, and is welcome everywhere.  
"What joy to capture song from sound and send  
It throbbing through the hearts of men."

ART  
Beauty should be expressed in our surroundings so as  
to become a part of our life and personality. It should not  
be considered as something to be set apart for only enjoy- 
ment but should be sought in everything we do. We no  
longer find  all  the world's art collected into museums or  
incorporated in the construction of great works of archi- 
tecture but it is often found in and around our own homes— 
a simple, and often a more understandable, art that speaks  
in simple language to the soul of the artistically untrained,  
inspiring in him a taste for the beautiful and teaching him  
to seek for beauty in the commonplace or to make the com- 
monplace beautiful.  
Some one has said that good taste in the field of art  
is the application of the principles of design to the problems 
in life where appearance as well as utility is a consideration.  
Art means more than decoration and ornament; it has to  
do with form and color. There may be decoration and orna-  

ment but it should grow out of the structure of the object  
with naturalness.  
We are told that human intelligence is a manifestation  
of many different tendencies but these may be resolved into  
three: science, as a development of the understanding, begins  
in the observation and tends toward knowledge; religion,  
as a development of the will, begins in the conscience and  
tends toward conduct; and art, as a development of the  
emotions, begins in the imagination and tends toward senti- 
ment. These tendencies are independent of each other.  
The advantage of art education, especially to the young.  
is that it cultivates his powers of imagination and observa- 
tion and thus stimulates in him the desire to create; it culti- 
vates powers while the nature is pliable to influence. The  
study of art teaches us to see; it teaches discernment, dis- 
crimination, and appreciation for the beauty in one's sur- 
roundings.

SPEECH AND EXPRESSION  
The Department of  
Speech aims to give every  
student in its classes the  
kind of training that will  
enable him to make a  
straightforward, interest- 
ing, and worthwhile ap- 
pearance before an audi- 
ence—whether that audi- 
ence be one or a thousand.  
Such skill can be acquired  
only through technical in- 
struction, constructive crit- 
icism, practice—and more  
practice.  
After a student has  
made a study of the basic  
principles of good public  
speaking, in which equal  
attention is given to the cultivation of a pleasing, forceful  
voice, an attractive, energetic bearing, an intelligent  
mental interest, and a direct audience contact; after  
his mannerisms and weaknesses have been pointed out  
repeatedly, and at least partially corrected; and after  
he has gone to the platform and performed for his  
class on the average of once a week for the thirty-six  
weeks of the school year—the practice followed by every  
class in the department—much of his timidity and his feeling  
of inferiority, and many of his inhibitions slip away; and,  
although he emerges a far-from-perfect public speaker, he  
has a confidence and an at-homeness before an audience  
that has been unknown to him before. Thus he is further  
on his way toward making a success of presenting himself   

and his message to his associates, no matter what his pro- 
fession or calling may finally be.  
In addition to this intensive class drill, every speech stu- 
dent is urged to make just as many public appearances dur- 
ing the year as is possible; hence it is not surprising to hear  
the members of the various speech classes taking part in  
nearly every program or meeting that offers a fitting oppor- 
tunity. To the end of providing much practice in public  
appearance, various recitals and programs are given through- 
out the year. During the year 1932-33 six full evening pro- 
grams were given by the department, five of which were in  
the college chapel and one in the college dining-room. One  
program and parts of two others were given by the class  
in repertoire, one by the class in interpretative speech, and  
the others by the students in expression. In the second  
semester the repertoire class made four radio broadcasts  
and the interpretative speech class one. Although choral  
speaking of poetry is rapidly gaining prominence in colleges  
in different parts of the country, this type of speaking had  
not been tried in Union College up until this year; hence  
the class in public speaking did something unique when  
they gave in unison the poem "The Leper" as a part of  
the mission study in a recent Sabbath-school program. Be- 
sides these programs there have been numerous individual  
appearances at different institutions, clubs, and meetings in  
the vicinity of Lincoln.  
Whether enjoyed by the student who possesses it, or  
by the instructor who observes it, no satisfaction is greater  
than progress, be that progress ever so little; and no student  
who has centered his attention and effort during this school  
year on the problem of self-improvement and better public  
appearance can he without a certain measure of this satis- 
faction.  
HOME ECONOMICS  
The individual courses are planned to meet the specific  
needs of young women in after life. The degree of emphasis  
being placed on subjects in this field by the finest schools  
in the country is a fair indication of the solid hold the sub- 
ject has on the minds of sane educators. In particular are  
these things valuable to Union College graduates because  
of the continued interest shown here in foreign mission work.  

Every girl may at some time be a homemaker, whether  
for herself or for others. Homemaking is now an acknowl- 
edged profession and requires a preparation. The business  
of homemaking can be learned just as the business of run- 
ning a bank, operating a store or a factory. The man who  
has studied for his profession will more often succeed than  
the man who has made no preparation for his life's work.  
This principle holds true with the homemaker who has  
studied in the field of home economics.  
The study and application of the principles of propor- 
tion, balance, emphasis, harmony, and rhythm are an essen- 
tial part of the work in the Interior Decorating and Fur- 
nishing, Arts and Design, Textile and Clothing, and House  
Management courses.  
Students who study nutrition and diet are greatly inter- 
ested in the work and make application of the knowledge  
gained in attempting to better their own health through diet.  
Never, in the history of the world, have people realized the  
enormous part played by food in the affairs of men as they  
do now. Modern dietetic principles disseminated along scien- 
tific lines by the colleges save the students from being vic- 
tims of fads and misinformation. Well-grounded knowledge  
enables them to profit by advancement throughout the field  
of foods and cookery.  
"We may live without friends, we may live without books,  
But civilized man can not live without cooks."  

Home economics is far  
more than cleaning, cook- 
ing, and sewing. It is pri- 
marily interested in the re- 
lation of individuals to the  
problems of everyday liv- 
ing. The courses given in  
this department at Union  
College teach rational liv- 
ing, the richness and full- 
ness of life, the joy of  
work and good citizen- 
ship. The practical educa- 
tion, as well as the theory,  
which is offered to all  
students of home econom- 
ics is an invaluable asset 
in life.

FACULTY AND STUDENTS WE  
Why Come to College  
U
NION College extends  
come to students new  
school year  1  9 3 3- 3 4  
should be the best we have  
ever had. Economic con- 
ditions are on the up- 
grade; optimism is in the  
air; prices are becoming  
more and more satisfac-
tory; work is somewhat  
easier to get; and on the  
whole the financial outlook  
is encouraging. We have,  
therefore, every reason to  
believe that the coming  
school year will be a good  
one and that we will have 
our full quota of students.  
Financially the past year  
has not been so good.  
Union College has suffer- 
ed with all the rest of our  
institutions; and yet in  
spite of untoward condi- 
tions we have been able  
to pay all our bills and  
our teachers and have not  
had to go farther into  
debt. This is most encouraging under the  
circumstances. Indeed, it seems almost like  
a miracle that we have been able to weather  
the storm and come out with colors flying.  
If we have been able to do so with a re- 
duced number of students and a reduced  
income, we have reason to look with cour- 
age to the future and not be disappointed.  

M. L.  ANDREASEN  
This is the time of all times to prepare  
for the future. Whether one is planning  
definitely for work in the 
denomination or is com- 
pelled by necessity to look  
elsewhere, a t h or o u g h  
preparation is needed to  
do work acceptably. We  
have no time to waste; we  
must not delay. All true  
Adventists believe that the  
end of all things is at  
hand. We shall have peri- 
ods of depression, and  
then there will be a little  
let-up. We must not let  
these fluctuations thwart or  
even delay us in our life  
purpose, For this reason  
every young man or wo- 
man who can possibly do  
so should lay definite  
plans to come to Union  
College this fall. The  
opening day is September  
11. It does not pay to be  
a day late; come on time  
prepared to work and  
to improve every minute. Our whole faculty  
stands ready to welcome you. Our teachers  
are better prepared than ever to do their  
assigned work. 'They meet the scholastic  
and spiritual requirements expected by this  
denomination. We believe that a young  
man or woman can do no better than to  
come to Union College this fall ready to do  
hard, intensive work preparing for a  
place of service. We welcome all,  
young and old, and believe that the  
Lord will abundantly bless us the  
coming year.  
Man starts out in life with cer- 
tain endowments and talents as his  
capital, for the management and im- 
provement of which he is responsible.  
According to the way in which he  
uses them, he will be either a "good  
and faithful —   or a "wicked and  
slothful" servant. It has been said  
that the worst enemies that man has  
to meet in the effort to live an ener- 
getic and successful life are his own  
passions and desires. These are apt  
to suggest enjoyable digressions to  
him. They are always ready to point  
out the way that appears more pleas- 
ant than the one which he is travel-  

ing. At first he yields in some little thin.  
which he thinks will do no harm; but a  
the result of that yielding, soon the wa;  
has opened for the second and third time  
and presently the man wakes up to fin(  
himself in abject slavery. Like a ship with  
out a rudder, his dereliction is impending  
When we lose direction of worthy mo  
tives we commence to drift, and then th,  
rocks of disaster are not far ahead. The in

SOME YOU TO UNION COLLEGE  
W. JOHNSON  
You will be moved by an impelling force,  
a conviction that spurs you on to greater  
achievements. You will  
not have entered Union  
College as one who fol- 
lows the line of least re- 
sistance but as one who  
recognizes that the values  
in life are in many re- 
spects commensurate to  
the efforts put forth to re- 
alize them.  
Education  	 us to  helps  
11 bring him to school and spends his  
qe aimlessly wandering about openly in- 
es disastes. Half-hearted strokes will  
ver tell for much.  
It pays to reach the top. No matter how  
ich toil, hardship, and even suffering it  
iy cost to climb thither, the effort pays.  
Edison has told us that genius is made  
of one per cent inspiration and ninety- 
le per cent perspiration. The individual 
lo adopts this formula as his own is al- 
1st certain to win.  

How  
By DEAN  A.  
S
UCCESS seldom comes floating past our  
habitation inviting us to reach out and  
draw it in without putting  
forth some effort or ex- 
ercising some degree of  
energy on our part. Thus  
he who would succeed  
must be willing to put  
forth energy and even en- 
counter hardships, if need  
be, in order that he may  
achieve the desired goal.  
If you would share in  
the benefits that accrue to  
the student who has com- 
pleted his education at  
Union College and be the  
recipient of that training  
which makes the individ- 
ual a bigger, better, and  
nobler man or woman and  
enables him to appreciate  
more fully the values in  
life, you will begin today  
to plan that you may be  
one of Union's students  
and thus share in the priv- 
ileges that she has to offer.  
You should begin by planning in a very  
definite way what you can do this summer  
that will make your enrolment in Union  
next September twelve certain. Do not wait  
and sit idly by just hoping that something  
will come along and unbeknown to any one  
sweep you into Union's portals. Begin to- 
day to work, plan, and pray. Make use of  
the summer months by doing every  
available thing that may help you  
realize your desired goal, and then  
be rigidly careful to conserve your  
resources. This will require careful  
study, planning, and strict devotion  
on your part.  
Plan your varied lines of endeavor  
so that you will be able to discon- 
tinue them at the close of summer.  
They may necessitate greater efforts  
on your part that you may add finan- 
cial resources to what you already  
have. As the time draws near, you  
may have to grasp opportunity by 
the forelock and even encounter some  
hardships in order that your aim may  
be realized. But with such determin- 
ation, a determination that ripens in- 
to self-mastery, when you arrive at  
Union College you will share in the  
opportunities that await you as one  
who has achieved.   

rouse our latent energies;  
it helps paint for us a pic- 
ture of the highest pos- 
sible self and stimulates  
our growth and develop- 
ment. Pumping of facts to  
the brain is not education.  
True education calls for  
the best that is in us. It  
exercises the mental facul- 
ties until they become  
strong enough to grip and  
to hold. Education is self- 
discovery. Who makes the  
most of his life, makes the  
most of each passing moment. Application,  
industry, courage, and persistent energy  
must compel each day's affairs to contribute  
to the enlargement and nobility of life.  
Union College stands ready to help make  
it possible for men and women with deter- 
mination to surmount what may appear to  
be insurmountable obstacles.

THE GIRLS' HOME  

•  
North Hall is more  
than just a good-sized  
brick building where cer- 
tain girls stay during the  
school session. It is more  
than a place where they  
may keep some of their  
personal belongings, a  
place to sleep, to study.  
North Hall is this, but in- 
finitely more.  
Without its interesting  
girls who have come from  
diverse environments,  
without their characteris- 
tics, this place would not  
hold the charm that it  
does. Perhaps some one regards dormitory life as sordid,  
uninteresting, something to be endured only as a last resort  
when one must leave home in the distance and seek further  
education. On the contrary, such experience is recognized as  
being an important phase of education. The pleasure afforded  
a girl by associating with others whose ideals and aims in life  
are on a high level, and whose interests are somewhat in  
common, is of no small significance. Here is an opportunity  
to cultivate the art of living contentedly with other people  
and of learning to work with a group for the best interests  
of all. There must be a great spirit of cheerful compromise  
and a laying aside of self-interest throughout life in order  
for an individual to find true happiness.  
One of the most important of all the individuals in this  
home—for truly it is a home—is the Mother, Dean Pearl  
Rees, upon whose shoulders rests the responsibility of keep-  

ing everything going smoothly. Under her capable super- 
vision and direction her daughters learn the little touches  
of refinement which are possessed by women of true culture.  
Helping girls to see what is really noble and lovely in life— 
helping them to mould characters "after the similitude of a  
palace," teaching them to be "kings' daughters, all glorious  
within - -all this and much more comes within the scope  
of her responsibilities.  
Then there are two registered nurses whose services are  
of utmost importance. Their efficiency makes the misfortune  
of being ill not a totally dark spot in the picture, for they  
seem to adhere to the teaching of the wise man who said,  
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine." Their cheery  
countenances, their ministrations to the soul as well as to  
the body are deeply appreciated.  
There is that which always adds interest in a group— 
the fact that some of its members come from places other 
members have never seen. For some, Lincoln is the point  
farthest east that they have been, and for others it is the  
extreme western point of their traveling experience. Two  
of the North Hall girls came from New York, one calls  
Ohio her home, and still another claims West Virginia as  
hers.  
From high schools, from large cities, and from farms,  
these girls have gathered. From Louisiana, Texas, New  
Mexico, California, and Michigan, besides the states of the 
Middle West and those previously mentioned, they have  
found a home at this central point and enjoyed each other's  
association and friendship. North Hall with its many op- 
portunities for cultural development, for the broadening of  
the experience of those who will avail themselves of this  
opportunity, is by no means of minor importance in the  
college education of the girls it protects.


THE MEN'S HOME  
A SONG OF LIFE  
- We're from Old South Hall;  
We're from Old South Hall;  
There is nothing half so fine.  
Were from Old South Hall, dear Old  
South Hall.  
Round this home my heart strings  
twine.  
'Tis the time of work and study,  
Of programs, campaigns too;  
And we learn to love each other  
Before the year is through.  
Mixing work and play together  
With this South Hall crowd of mine  
Suiting every kind of weather— 
Oh, we love our Old South Hall."  
The song is appropriate and the boys sing it with gusto.  
However, we know that standing on the front row and sing- 
ing loudly is only a formal thing after all. The residents of  
South Hall as a group then go about their study, play, and  
work in such a way as to prove that their singing the song  
is a sincere exercise. Even the dean claims that it is fun to  
live in South Hall.  
What memories will come thronging back to the men  
who in 1932-33 have called Old South Hall home. They  
are men who have come from all directions and from every  
walk of life, yet who have one purpose: To get a genuine  
education in a Christian environment. They have lived to- 
gether, shared their work, their pleasure, and their disap- 
pointments, and learned together and from one another.  

It's a jolly crew that camps in South Hall, a lively,  
enthusiastic, loyal crowd. Long to be remembered are the  
"big league" indoor ball games after supper and at noon,  
the dandelion digging campaigns (and the swimming pool ),  
the "democratic" parliamentary meetings on "vital" subjects,  
men's club programs every Thursday night, and all the rest.  
A year of depression demanded a hard times party after the  
girls won THE CLOCK TOWER contest. Dean C. W. Kime's  
leaving brought out the whole house to the station to see him  
off. And the South Hall annual program, this year the pic- 
ture "Bring 'Em Back Alive," filled the chapel  full  for the  
first time in the year. (South Hall programs always bring  
a full house.) Ask them and they say, "We're from Old  
South Hall."


THE ACADEMY  
Practically all of the  
students attending the  
Union College Academy  
are from the city of Lin- 
coln. They derive advan- 
tages through access to  
the college science labora-
tories, the library, and the  
gymnasium and swimming  
pool. The academy now  
has the highest possible  
rating as a high school  
with the State of Nebras- 
ka. the University of Ne- 
braska, and the North  
Central Association of 
Colleges and Secondary  
Schools, and a similar rat- 
ing with the General Con- 
ference Board of Regents.  
All of the teachers are  
state certified.  
Graduates of this  
academy are prepared to  
enter any college or university in the United States. Addi- 
tions to the faculty planned for 1933-34 will make it possible  
for each teacher to confine his work more closely to his   

major field, thereby increasing the efficiency of the instruc- 
tion. The teachers appear in the center of the front row  
above as follows:

UNION COLLEGE INDUSTRIES  
BINDERY  
The Union College bindery is a comparatively new in- 
dustry of the school, having been in operation for the past  
year only. The work is done in the large basement room  
of North Hall formerly occupied by the women's treatment  
rooms.  
Most of the business comes from local school libraries,  
but sample orders for advertising purposes have been re- 
ceived from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Wyoming, South  
Dakota, and Iowa. One unsolicited order came from Penn- 
sylvania. Many letters of appreciation have come from sat- 
isfied customers. The bindery has done a large volume of  
work for the Lincoln City library, the Nebraska University  
library, and the Union College library. It has rebound the  
chapel song books and those for the Lincoln church. Much  
of the work received consists of magazines to be bound, in- 
cluding many of the  Christian Record  papers for the blind.  
CAFETERIA  
In planning meals for the students' cafeteria, two im- 
portant factors are involved, namely, the balanced diet and  
the balanced budget. It is essential that the school help to 
maintain the health of the student, and this is largely con-  

trolled through the serving of proper food. One needs a  
sufficiently balanced ration in order to supply properly his  
bodily needs. Without it one's scholastic ability is impaired,  
for a sound body means a sound mind. The person who  
considers his health is the person who succeeds in life.  
Aristotle said, "He who has health has hope, and he who  
has hope has everything."  
The cafeteria endeavors to operate on a sound economi- 
cal basis that has in mind the financial problems of the  
student. That the cafeteria is one of the most interesting  
departments of the school is evident when the nearly two  
hundred dormitory students are having their meals.  
The Union College Dairy is one asset to the cafeteria.  
The best of milk, cream, eggs, and ice cream come to us  
from this department. We also have fine bakery goods made  
by students in the college bakery.  
The cafeteria gives employment to about thirty North  
Hall girls who work from two to seven hours a day. It  
not only serves as a means of a student's earning part of  
her way through school but also furnishes practical educa- 
tional value. Many of the girls learn how to prepare whole- 
some food in an attractive manner; they learn to be sys- 
tematic in their work; and they learn to he orderly and  
punctual.


THE PRINT SHOP CREW  

THE PRESS  
The print shop appears first just as a  
mixture of noises. A roaring sound comes  
from one corner and a grinding noise  
from another. The puffing and rattling of  
the radiator joins the symphony and per- 
plexed sighs are heard here and there over  
the room.  
A gray-haired man sits in the office  
looking business-like and impressive. One  
hand is on the arm of his chair and the  
other runs feverishly through his sparse  
hair as he tries to figure out just what  
the customer had in mind and if not why  
not. He looks complicated.  
Eighteen students work an average of  
over 300 hours a week. The work done is  
chiefly commercial printing from Lincoln  
and its quality compares well with that  
done by the leading printers in the city.  
The College Press is a productive department. Specifi- 
cally its business totals about $15,000 in a year, including  
eight periodicals. The annual payroll is approximately  
$6,000. Some of those boys must work!  
POWER HOUSE  
The Power House is one of the leading industries on  
the campus. In furnishing heat and electricity to the college  
plant and in keeping up routine repairs in the various build- 
ings, some seven boys work a good share of their school ex- 
penses. Aside from two large boilers in regular use and two  
auxiliary ones there is a well-equipped tool room.  
The firemen, working in six-hour shifts, use about thirty  
car loads of coal in a year keeping the school warm.  
PLANING MILL  
The College Planing Mill, situated in the basement of  
the College Press building, is one of the interesting Union  
College industries. It has the capacity of about seven work- 
ers in the shop and a few others to sell the things manu- 
factured.  
Lumber, mostly white and yellow pine and some oak,  
is received in carload lots. Then it goes through various  
processes, depending on what it is to be used for.  
The mill is furnished with necessary equipment. A joint- 
er levels the edges of the boards so they may be glued  
together for ironing-board tops. A shaper rounds edges; a  
planer smooths the surfaces. Various kinds of saws and   

borers are used. One saw, similar to a jig-saw, cuts the  
wood in shapes for such uses as the arms of lawn chairs.  
In the assembly room different sizes and shapes of wood  
are in some mysterious manner converted into garden trel- 
lises, arbors, pergolas, bird houses, ironing boards, quilting  
frames, window screens, children's furniture, lawn chairs,  
and other articles of a like nature. Besides this there is the  
painting room, where manufactured articles are finished and  
made ready for sale.  
LAUNDRY  
The Union College Laundry employs twelve girls and  
two young men who average about 320 hours a week. Be- 
sides doing the student laundering the plant carries on a  
commercial program in College View and Lincoln. Vernon  
S. Dunn, manager, endeavors to produce the highest quality  
of laundry work possible.  
DAIRY  
To have the best dairy products on the market is the  
aim of Union College dairy. For this reason there is a ready  
sale for all the products. Not a few people come out from  
Lincoln in order to get the whole, raw Guernsey milk, the  
purest in the state. This milk is produced by fifty-two cows,  
the approximate number milked the year around. Each of 
these cows is a heavy milker and a high tester. They are all  
cared for by six or seven real dairy boys who ''know their  
cows. -   These boys are earning a big share  
of their school expenses in this way.  
Other products sold in the dairy room  
are cream, cottage cheese, ice cream, but- 
ter, and eggs. The ice-cream plant takes  
care of the surplus milk in the summer  
months. The freezer has a capacity of  
fifty gallons daily, and on the hot summer  
days it runs at full blast. The fact that  
Union College students have that plump,  
well-fed appearance proves significant  
things about the efficiency of the dairy.  
Every morning and evening the dairy  
room is open for business for several hours  
and the attendants are kept busy. Eugene  
Stout, the head of the department, greets  
customers with a cheery word. Others  
who work in this department are Hazel  
Hutchison. Elsa Paeper, and David Olsen.


THE GYMNASIUM  

STUDENT DIVERSIONS  

•  
Union College makes ample provision for needful recre- 
ation in spite of misconceptions to the contrary. Her atti- 
tude is a sensible one in that her ideal of attainment to a  
more perfect balance of the physical, mental, and spiritual  
phases of life is stressed with greater emphasis than is usual  
in colleges and universities. Overbalance on the side of  
sports is avoided through careful supervision.  
Approaching the subject from the side of directed re- 
creation, one finds such sports as swimming, basketball, base- 
ball, volley ball, hiking, marching, miscellaneous games  
played in the gymnasium and on the lawn. It has also been  
suggested that in relieving brain fatigue beneficial results  
have been obtained from working out ''domestic time" at  
tasks around the power house or even at some other places  
around the institution, although it is to be seriously doubted  
that these activities could be classed strictly as sports.  
Facilities for swimming at Union College place it among  
the best in the vicinity of Nebraska's capital. The pool is  
twenty feet wide and sixty feet in length and has a maxi- 
mum depth of over three yards. A diving board is located  
at the deep end. Adequate showers, lockers, and dressing  
rooms are also in evidence. In the physical education classes  
swimming is taught, including a course in life-saving.  

The physical education classes conduct- 
ed on the gymnasium floor above the pool  
are well filled. The requirement of attend-
ance is justified, for every one should  
never become so busy that he does not 
have time to cultivate habits of healthful,  
regular exercise. Instruction in marching,  
calisthenics, and mat, horse, and bar work  
is specifically given. Facilities for such  
other miscellaneous games as basketball,  
volley ball, and handball are provided; oc- 
casionally class instruction is given for  
these games. Teams are chosen by the  
physical directors for a systematic coordi- 
nation of plans.  
Then there is the directed recreation of  
school hikes, and picnics or an evening of  
games and marching. Annually there is  
a Hollowe'en hike and a school picnic in  
the spring. The entire school takes part  
in these gala events. The evenings of  
games and marches have always proved entertaining and re- 
creational. Even the most reserved personalities have been  
observed to crack their glacial physiognomies at some of the  
antics of the participants.  
Provision for undirected recreation is also made by the  
school. A plot of ground used for tennis courts during the  
warmer months is flooded in winter for ice skating. Baseball,  
a modified form of football, and some of the other sports  
mentioned heretofore are often spontaneous. However, there  
is a force that operates to secure an appropriate balance be- 
tween these impromptu games and recreation with a shovel  
handle or a similar useful implement.  
Mention must be made of the many miscellaneous pro- 
grams and affairs given during the year. These programs are  
refreshingly recreational and possess definite educational  
values. Exceptional wholesome moving pictures are also  
shown. Five more affairs which apparently have now be- 
come a tradition with the college are the evenings when the  
faculty and residents of the school homes are hosts and  
hostesses in turn.  
By the time all the diversion is summed up, one can  
scarcely fail to agree that the aggregate is sufficient but not  
overdone.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES  

p  
SABBATH SCHOOL  
The Union College Sabbath School is one of the impor- 
tant phases in the spiritual life of the college. The programs  
afford a threefold opportunity in that they prove educational  
in every sense, they add definitely to the religious life, and  
they afford special opportunities in training for teachers  
and Sabbath school officers. A weekly feature of the school  
is a prelude given by the college orchestra under the direc- 
tion of Prof. C. C. Engel. The program is always refresh- 
ingly varied, containing such numbers as mission talks given 
in person by those having experience in the foreign fields,  
dialogues, mission scenes reenacted, and musical numbers.  
The officers the first semester of this school year were:  
Ruth Gardner, superintendent; Cree Sandefur, assistant sup- 
erintendent; Ralph Yost, secretary; Gladys Flatten, assistant  
secretary; Arthur Bietz, chorister; Sterling K. Gernet, pianist.  
Those selected for the second semester were: Marshall  
Rockwell, superintendent; Gladys Munn, assistant superin- 
tendent; Margaret Farnsworth, secretary; Earl Gable, as- 
sistant secretary; Calvin Gordon, chorister.  
MISSIONARY VOLUNTEER SOCIETY  
The Missionary Volunteer Society of the college affords  
an organization through which students may receive training  
in leadership, public speaking, music conducting, various  
other forms of public appearance, arranging and planning  
programs, and enthusiastic missionary work.  
Exceptional programs have been given during the year  
under the direction of Elmer Hagen and Ada Townsend  
in the first semester and Elmer Robertson and Alma Sparrow 
in the second semester. They obtained the help of the Gos- 
pel Workers' Seminar, the Sunshine Band, and the Mis- 
sion Band in presenting the programs. There have been  
evenings devoted to the study of hymns, the story of the  
Christian in song, instrumental music, temperance, an in- 
vestiture service, and true education.  
MISSIONARY ENDEAVOR  
Among the activities sponsored by the Missionary Vol- 
unteers is the Sunshine Band, whose society is not limited  
to a standing membership but includes any one who is hap- 
py in helping others. As a means to proper Sabbath ob- 
servance it is unsurpassed. Instead of reading, sleeping, con- 
versing, or studying, the students are provided with an  
opportunity for serving. Through songs, stories, and per- 
sonal visits they bring gladness into the lives of the aged  
and sick. These activities extend to the orphanages, hos- 
pitals, and old people's homes of the city. The missionary  
zeal of the students is kept burning as they participate in the  
work of this band.  
The Mission Band was organized for the purpose of  
studying the problems of the mission field by those especially  
interested in preparing themselves for future foreign work.  
Under the leadership of Joe Tucker during the past year the  
band has spent much time in careful study of the conditions  
and needs of different countries. From time to time, mis- 
sionaries have talked, discussing the problems of the work  
from their own experiences. Among these visitors were Pas- 
tor W. H. Branson, vice-president of the General Confer- 
ence, who gave a definite outline of the qualifications needed  
by those who plan to do foreign mission work; Pastor J. S.  
Schilling, who spoke on Iceland; R. G. Wakeham, who  
spoke on. Egypt; and Mrs. William Kirstein, who told of her  
experiences in South America.  

DEPARTMENTAL CLUBS  
On alternate Wednesdays chapel time has been devoted  
to the various club meetings. An active interest has been  
taken by most of the departments in spite of the fact that  
a few people seemed to have circulating memberships and 
a few clubs died natural deaths.  
Lively debates on such subjects as "Advertising, a Men- 
ace to Society" and "Should Women Have a Career?"  
were carried on in the Platform Guild. In addition to local  
talent, people from the surrounding schools in Lincoln have  
helped make the club programs interesting and worth while.  
Three students of the Department of Speech at Wesleyan  
University read for the Platform Guild; Dr. T. T. Smith,  
Professor of Physics at the Nebraska University, gave an  
illustrated lecture on crystals, snowflakes in particular, at a  
joint meeting of the Physastromath and Catalyzers. At an- 
other such combined club meeting Dr. H. G. Deming, Pro- 
fessor of Chemistry at the University of Nebraska, lectured  
on color.  
Moments Musical, organized to develop more interest  
in music has studied folk, operatic, and seasonal music.  
Programs illustrating topics under discussion were given by  
the members, no outside talent being used.  
Quidnunc has considered vital current happenings. "The  
United States Should Cancel the War Debt" was debated;  
also the attitude of Christian youth toward a future war and  
the question of bearing arms were considered.  
Deutscher Verein was organized to help the students in  
German obtain a truer conception of German life and cus- 
toms. The programs are conducted by the students. German  
anagrams has been one of the popular diversions of this  
club. Songs, short plays, and poems in German have helped  
the members to an easier familiarity with the culture of this  
important language.  
The Catalyzer Club is attended by those students whose  
interests are in Chemical and Biological Science. The pro- 
grams are presented by demonstration, motion pictures,  
student speeches, and lectures by prominent scientists.  
The Sanhedrin has carried on mainly as a discussion  
club. As such it has been of much worth to its members.  
Topics which have been discussed from a Biblical standpoint  
included: "The attitude we should take toward military  
service in times of war"; "The failure of modern Christianity  
to solve present-day problems"; and other vital topics.  
HOME CLUBS  
Each girl of North Hall is a member of Kappa Theta,  
the young women's club which meets every Wednesday  
night during worship time. It is the aim of the club that each  
girl in the school home have at least one opportunity to  
take part in the program during the school year.  
Self-improvement is sought by the men of South Hall.  
One avenue through which such improvement can be at- 
tained is in club activities. The young men's club, Sigma  
Iota Kappa, an organization of which every South Hall resi- 
dent is a member, holds meetings each Thursday evening.  
Programs during the past have been of varied nature. Speak- 
ers are frequently invited from different city and state in- 
stitutions. It is broadening to the student's vision and experi- 
ence to know what these men think of life in its different  
phases. At times the ordinary program is varied by a hike or  
game of ball. The young men are supporters and boosters  
of their club, which is a vital part of South Hall life.


UNION COLLEGE WEEK  

•  
Shortly after the college board met in February rumors  
began to be circulated concerning an unusual event which  
was planned. Academy seniors and prospective college stu- 
dents from all over the Central Union Conference were to be  
invited to visit Old Union and become acquainted with  
the school which so many of their parents and teachers had  
attended. When the plans were more fully developed Presi- 
dent M. L. Andreasen announced them in chapel. The  
rumors were true. Seniors from all the academies, as well  
as high-school graduates, would be urged to come to Union  
on a Friday and spend the week-end as guests of the college.  
As many of their teachers as could come would be welcome.  
April 14 was set as the date for Union's open house, and the  
prospective hosts became happy.  
The students of Union were enthusiastically in favor of  
th,: plans. How could the advantages of their college he  
better demonstrated? Long had Union been preached to  
graduating classes at the academies; now it was to be shown  
to them in person.  
Weeks of preparation followed. A general committee of  
which Prof. Guy W. Habenicht was chairman had charge of  
the plans. Student committees were appointed to work on  
various phases of the program. Problems of housing and  
feeding were tackled and conquered. In the meantime Presi- 
dent Andreasen was visiting the academies and extending  
invitations to their students. The responses which he re- 
ceived were encouraging, so he said on his return. Every- 
where the idea was being gladly accepted.  
Eventually the day came for the visitors to arrive, and  
as though endeavoring to cooperate, the sun shone beauti- 
fully. First to reach the campus was a group from South  
Dakota. That was late Thursday afternoon. Late that night  
the group from Campion Academy, Loveland, Colorado,  
arrived. Early Friday afternoon a truck from Shelton Acad- 
emy, Shelton, Nebraska, carrying the seniors from that  
school, reached Union. Before the afternoon was over most  
of the guests had reached the college, and red badges of  
visitors were to be seen everywhere.  

With the arrival of the guests the reception and loca- 
tion committees had gone into action. There was never a  
busier place than the two dormitories on that afternoon, 
unless it was in the kitchen. While Deans Pearl Rees and  
Lowell Welch did their best to provide satisfactory resting  
places for the visitors, Miss Miriam Westcott directed a  
corps of workers in the kitchen and dining room. And be  
it known that at supper time every one was fed, and that  
before night every one had a place to sleep, though it was  
discovered that sleeping three in a bed is democratic. Every  
one is on the same level (unless some one is uncomfortunate  
enough to roll out) and luxury is rather evenly distributed.  
The vespers service Friday evening was conducted by  
President Andreasen in his usual dignified and inspirational  
style. A departure was made from the regular program Sab- 
bath morning when the Sabbath-school classes met by state  
groups. Each person, whether Unionite or visitor, met with  
the group from his state. After Sabbath school the group of  
five hundred students and visitors went to the church,  
where Pastor Frank H. Yost preached the morning sermon.  
In the afternoon the value of a Christian education was  
especially stressed by the students who spoke in the Mis- 
sionary Volunteer meeting held in the chapel. Saturday eve- 
ning the Union College orchestra gave a concert which was  
a credit to the organization and its director, Prof. C. C.  
Engel.  
Soon after breakfast Sunday morning the tour of inspec- 
tion began. For this the visitors were again divided into  
state groups, and a complete circuit of the campus was made.  
Each group was shown through the classrooms, offices, lab- 
oratories, and library in the administration building; then to  
other places of industry on the grounds. The press, laundry,  
shops, gymnasium, and dairy room were visited and their  
points of interest shown. At the laundry each visitor re- 
ceived a miniature clothespin with a ribbon attached as a  
souvenir.  
Sunday dinner was the climax of the occasion, as far  
as Miss Westcott and her helpers were concerned. Over


five hundred people were served and satisfied in the short  
space of—well, not much over an hour or two. Tremendous  
amounts of food passed over the deck in that time, and much  
credit is due to those who so efficiently administered this  
all-important part of the program.  
After dinner and picture taking, the guests were escorted  
to the Nebraska state capitol building, This magnificent  
building, which was ten years in construction, is the pride  
of the state and especially of Lincoln. Capitol guides were  
on hand to conduct the large crowd of visitors through the  
building and to show it off to advantage.  
When the group returned from the capitol the soft-ball  
game was revived. Only one ball game was played during  
the entire week-end—the one which began early Friday  
and continued, with an intermission over Sabbath, until late  
Sunday evening. The men of South Hall had provided  
enough balls to last that long.  
Sunday evening the Expression Department provided en- 
tertainment. The recital consisted of readings, some humor- 
ous, others more impressively solemn, and all well given.  
Monday morning saw preparations for departure. The  
groups from the farthest schools left the campus early; those  
who were able remained for the chapel exercises. By eve- 
ning the campus and dormitories were lonesome. The Union- 
ites in the dining room at supper time seemed pitifully few 
in number, but the comments they made were all alike— 
"Don't you wish we had that many students all the time?"

UNION'S GLORY GALLERY  
BY JEANETTE MCKIBBEN  

  
Over one thousand men and women are gathered in  
THE CLOCK TOWER office of Union College. The company  
is made up of professors from various state universities,  
doctors, missionaries, ministers, conference secretaries, writ- 
ers, teachers in high schools, musicians, business men, moth-
ers, and fathers. Most of them are graduates of Union  
College, all of them former students from 1908-1927. Why  
are they here? Some are sitting around tables; others are in  
various groups. A reunion? But they do not visit. A con- 
vention? They stay there night and day. Is it because they  
are interested in THE CLOCK TOWER and the staff who  
spend so many hours in there?  
Thirteen Ph. D's present! That means something is call- 
ing for "deep speech." Thirty-three M. A.'s appear to aid  
them. A weighty problem is surely calling for the thinking of 
these minds. W. I. Smith, educational secretary of the Gen- 
eral Conference, is present. Perhaps he called the meeting  
which evidently concerns Union College, Professor Smith,  
himself, having been graduated from here in 1911. He seems  
to have called together past faculties of the college. There  
is Leo Thiel, graduate in 1911, and president of the college  
in 1925-28. He is now head of the English Department at  
Washington Missionary College. Another of Union's past  
presidents, Otto M. John, is one of this large company, being  
a graduate in 1908. He is now president of Atlantic Union  
College. Others than former presidents are among the crowd  
of alumni. One may see representatives of the faculties of  
numerous years of Union's history: Emily A. Johnson,  
Rochelle Philmon-Kilgore, Homer F. Saxton, Benton Wil- 
cox, Lulu Blanche Hiatt, Guy Habenicht, Ruby Dell McGee,  
David Glenn Hilts, Iva Mae Small-Hilts, Linnie Leota Keith,  
Irene Couch, Opal Wheeler-Dick, Mabel Van Gorder-Ham- 
ilton, Blanche Wood-Oss, Martha Doris MacElvaine, Mar- 
garet Miller-Christiansen, Marie Olson, Esther Sonnenberg,  
Rollin Nesmith, James Oss, Marvin Knoll, A. Meiklejohn,  
Rufus J. Roy, and Everett N. Dick.  
Not being satisfied with these, some one seems to have  
called in Union's graduates who are teaching in other col- 
leges: Gordon G. Andrews, associate professor of history in  
the University of Iowa; Paul Gibbs, head of the English  
Department at Walla Walla College; William G. Wirth,  
professor of Biblical exegesis in the White Memorial School  
of Medicine; A. W. Werline, head of the History Depart- 
ment at Washington Missionary College; Harold 0. Mc- 
Cumber, sometime professor of history at Walla Walla 
College, now studying at the University of California; Les-  
ter  ,Lonergan, instructor in pharmacology in the College of  
Medical Evangelists; Lincoln Damsgard, teacher of science  
in the Pasadena Junior College; George Bowers, head of  
the Chemistry Department at Walla Walla College, now  
in Lincoln studying at the University of Nebraska; Joseph  
Tucker, sometime president of Oakwood Junior College;  
I. V. Counsell, teacher of Bible at Oakwood Junior College;  
George Kretschmar, head of the Physics Department at  
Walla Walla College; Wilton L. Halverson, assistant pro- 
fessor of public health in the College of Medical Evangelists;  
Elmer C. Blue, professor of chemistry and biology at Wash- 
ington Missionary College; W. Homer Teesdale, professor  
of history at Pacific Union College; Florence Leo Taylor of  
William and Mary College, Virginia; Gladys Robinson- 
Stearns, assistant in elementary education at Pacific Union  

College; Harry L. Pearson, sometime teacher of expression  
at Emmanuel Missionary College; R. E. Hoen, professor  
of science and mathematics at Emmanuel Missionary Col- 
lege; Leon W. Cobb, vice-president of the college associa- 
tion at Pacific Union College; Katherine Lutz, home econom- 
ics teacher at Washington Missionary College; Dorothy  
Foreman, dean of women at Walla Walla College; Lessie  
Culpepper, dean of women at Atlantic Union College; Ella  
Johnson, librarian at Southwestern Junior College; Rosetta  
Y. Musselman, normal director in Oakwood Junior College;  
Malcolm Hause, professor of history at Atlantic Union  
College; Letha Taylor, instructor of English in Southwestern  
Junior College; Ed. F. Degering, assistant professor of chem- 
istry in Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana; William D.  
Leech, of the Pasadena Junior College; Oran I. Cutler, as- 
sociate professor of pathology in the College of Medical  
Evangelists; Walter H. Nash, Southern California Junior  
College; Blanch Gilbert, Spanish teacher at Southwestern  
Junior College; Clara Erickson-Hickman, sometime teacher  
of piano at Walla Walla College; Arthur Smith, business  
manager of Southern California Junior College; Otis B. Ed- 
wards, instructor of music at Oakwood Junior College.  
As though these were not sufficiently capable of solving  
the great problem, twelve academy principals ( all graduates  
of Union College) are assembled: George E. Hutches, Shel- 
ton Academy; Walter C. Flaiz, Loma Linda Academy; Wal- 
ter J. McComb, Maplewood Academy; Vernon P. Lovell,  
Indiana Academy; Lee Marsh, Glendale Academy; Everett  
D. Kirk, Enterprise Academy; Harvey C. Hartman, Plain- 
view Academy; Ernest F. Heim, Campion Academy; Wil- 
liam Nelson, Cedar Lake Academy; Guy Habenicht, Union  
College Academy; and Robert R. Newman, Sheyenne River  
Academy.  
One hundred seven other teachers are here. Some come  
from academies, others from high schools, still others from  
public grade schools, and a number from church schools.  
Suddenly one realizes that there are doctors present— 
sixty-three of them. Nurses are not as prevalent, there being  
apparently only nine. These, too, are all graduates of Union  
and most of them have received their medical training from  
the College of Medical Evangelists at Loma Linda. Among  
the nurses are Annah Vaughn, Merced County Hospital,  
Merced, California; Ellen Vogel, Faye Felter, and Beulah  
Stringer of White Memorial Hospital; Louis Hansen, tech- 
nician at the Boulder Sanitarium; and Winifred McCor- 
mack, nursing instructor at Broadview College. Two College  
View dentists may be seen at the gathering—Cecil R. Lovell  
and Frank Lopp. There is also present Mrs. Laura Smith- 
Adson, wife of Dr. Alfred Adson, brain specialist of the  
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.  
The doctor's personnel from California consists of Burt  
Wade, Naval Hospital, San Diego; Walter Palmer, Long

The problem is not altogether a scientific or educational  
one, for thirty-three ministers and fifty-five foreign mission- 
aries have joined this solemn crowd. The class of 1922 pre- 
sents Prof. Milton Robison, educational secretary of the  
South African Mission; Charles Larsen of Shanghai, China;  
Aurora Wearner-Randolph, Josie Kiser-Willmot, and Mel- 
vin Oss from India; and Grace Schneider-Baker of Peru.  
South America. Lorenzo D. Minner. graduate of 1926. is  
from Lima, Peru, and  
Eugene I. Mohr, grad- 
uate of the same year.  
is a teacher in the River  
Platte Junior College,  
Argentina. From the  
class of 1920 are Joseph  
and Marian Phillips of  
Burma. Roy Cossentine comes from Shantung, China.  
Others from China are Cush Sparks, Iva Hamel-Hartwell,  
Zella Schmaltz-Dixon, H. R. Dixon, Harry Cooper, 0. J.

Ruth Youngberg, Elva Babcock-Gardner, Cecil A. Ran- 
dolph, Everett Willmot, Nettie J. Knister, E. M. Meleen,

so N. Anderson and Ellen Stacey-Olson, Japan; Dr. H. E.  
Scoles, Blanche Walker-Scoles, and H. G. Patchett, Africa;

Schmidt, Java, East Indies; Robert Altman and J. L. Bunch,  
Singapore; Florence Pfeiffer and Ellen Wilson, Hawaii;  
Merrill Smith and Elsie Mohr-Smith, Trinidad; Martin E.  
Anderson, Jamaica; and Mrs. B. B. Davis, Phillipine Islands.  
Ernest Dick, brother of Dr. E. N. Dick and secretary of  
the Northern European Division, is also present.  
In THE CLOCK TOWER office the preachers do not preach.  
Like the doctors and professors, they only "keep watch."  
John C. Stotz and George W. Tucker of the class of 1923  
have a part in this vigilance meeting. Accompanying these  
are Frank Isaac, educational secretary of the Lake Union;  
Verner Anderson, home missionary secretary of the South- 
ern Union; Elmer Pingenot, Sabbath-school and home mis- 
sionary secretary of the Colorado Conference; Jack Chris- 
tenson, missionary secretary of the Iowa Conference; Var- 
ner J. Johns, pastor of the Minneapolis Seventh-day Advent- 
ist church; W. E. Barr, chaplain of the Washington Sani- 
tarium; John Thompson, associate Sabbath-school secretary  
of the General Conference; Emil H. Oswald, president of  
the North Dakota Conference; E. H. Meyers, field secretary  
of the Kansas Conference; Alger H. Johns, Wray, Colo- 
rado; Oscar Snipes, Connecticut; Walter H. Schacht, pastor   

in Los Angeles; H. J. Sheldon, Missionary Volunteer secre- 
tary of the Lake Union; and Walter Howe, Jr., of the Iowa  
Conference.  
Business managers of diverse sorts have mingled them- 
selves with those who linger in the office of THE CLOCK  
TOWER. Felix Lorenz, contractor of College View, seems  
loath to leave; Lulu Mae Plumb, assistant postmistress of  
'Lincoln, may be seen here as often as in the post office.  
From other places come the following business managers.  
treasurers, and accountants: Jacob H. Nies, Iowa Sanitarium  
and Hospital; Henry Johnson, Campion Academy; James  
Oss, Oakwood Junior College; Earl Beaty, Emmanuel Mis- 
sionary College; G. H. Curtis, Los Angeles division of the  
School of Medicine; Herman L. Keene, Union College. The  
Ortners are still in business with I. G. as treasurer in South  
Lancaster. Christian G. auditor in the Southern Union con- 
ference, and S. E.  
treasurer of the North  
Dakota Conference.  
Of special interest  
is Lora E. Clement,  
graduate of 1908, now  
editor of  The Youth's  
Instructor.  In the same  
class was Florence Aul-Terry, mother of our Florence Lu-
cille of 1933. Clara M. Ogden-Degering, 1913, is a teacher  
in the Lincoln schools as is also Anna Hullett Bergman,  
graduate of 1911. The class of 1914 gave us Mary Welch,  
librarian of the College View branch of the Lincoln Public  
Library.  
Nor did Union fail to produce poets—Eugene Rowell of  
the class of 1908 has proved that. Proofreaders, too, seem  
to feel at home in the office where journalism students strug- 
gle with copy-editing or writing of heads. Mary H. Moore,  
proofreader of the Southern Publishing Association, calm- 
ly watches and offers no aid. Neither does Eunice Andrea- 
sen-Phillips, proofreader at the Washington College Press,  
feel any urge to help these sweating young editors.  
The editors think and write, write and count, think again,  
and count the units of the head again. Heads, heads! The  
editor looks up and only heads face him-everywhere! They  
hang on either wall, thousands of them, but those heads be- 
longing to former CLOCK TOWER staffs offer no suggestion  
for the heading of the big story of the week.  
With all their Ph. D.'s, M. A.'s, M. S.'s, B. A.'s B. S.'s  
M. D.'s R. N.'s, and D. D. S.'s they do not speak one  
word of wisdom to the students who work in THE CLOCK  
TOWER office and who search those many faces for new  
ideas, or a fresh supply of encouragement.  
A facetiously inclined wit stepped in one day and queried  
us as to why we have decorated the walls of our sanctum  
with all of these old pictures of former classes and CLOCK  
TOWER staffs, suggesting that they should be put down in  
the museum with the other fossils. We hastened to look  
serious and informed our callous friend that "this is the  
Glory Gallery." Literally forty generations look down on  
our efforts day by day. At times of greatest need we are  
buoyed up by the inspiration of so many who have labored 
unsung ( as we do) and have achieved notable things in the  
cause of truth. It is lamentable that  all  of Union's graduating  
classes are not represented in this Glory Gallery. The com- 
piler of the data in this article craves forgiveness for any  
error in fact or omission of fact. The difficulties are legion,  
,for reasons apparent enough; we both need and expect the  
charity of all generous souls.

WHAT PRICE SOUL?  
"Had I two loaves of bread, aye, aye  
One would I sell and hyacinths buy  
To feed my soul,—or let me die."  
—Theodore Harding Rand.  
"Two loaves of bread"—not much food for a person.  
If he had nothing else to eat he should probably enjoy the  
bread no longer than three days. "One would I sell and  
hyacinths buy"—one day less of bread; two days of bread  
and a week of hyacinths—rather slim living, smelling hya- 
cinths. "To feed my soul"—wasting time and money on  
one's soul when one's body is starving? Ridiculous. How can  
one save other souls if one kills oneself being sentimental?  
The world is mad. It is a world of people with starved  
souls, who, never having had their souls fed, do not know  
they are starved; who, having had a chance to feed their  
souls, choose rather to eat the second loaf; who, having  
denied their souls, bitterly lament the emaciated condition  
of their souls while their bodies yet live. Better only a day 
of life with a healthy, whole soul than two or three days  
of life with a twisted soul or no soul.  
Edwin Markham's famous poem "The Man With the  
Hoe" aptly describes an extreme type of starved soul—the  
man "dead to rapture and despair, a thing that grieves not  
and that never hopes."  
"Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave  
To have dominion over sea and land; 
To trace the stars and search the heavens for power;  
To feel the passion of Eternity?"  
asks the poet. Here, in truth, is "Time's tragedy," a man  
whose heritage does not admit of the ability to love the  
esthetic values symbolized by hyacinths. What to him are  
"the swing of Pleiades . . . the long reaches of the peaks of  
song, the rift of dawn, the reddening of the roses?"  
Our present concern, however, is not so much with this  
type of man as with the man who, having had a chance to  
feed his soul, chooses rather to eat the second loaf—the  
man and woman who drudge through life tied to responsibil- 
ities and fearing to pause to offer a cup of cold water or to  
buy hyacinths; the student who wades desperately through  
college, bent on finishing on time, neglecting the cultural  
benefits and voluntary research, and wearing out his vigor  
and joy. This type of person is more tragic than the stupid  
plodder, for to hunger for hyacinths and deny oneself is  
sadder than never having hungered for hyacinths.  
That man cannot live by bread alone and that life needs  
hyacinths as well as bread are evident: for his own hap- 
piness man must relax and love something beautiful; in a  
world in which selfishness is rampant there is no upward  
striving unless some few possess idealism; God created man  
intending that his first business be to feed his soul.  

Once there was a man and his wife who were always  
too tired to walk with their children on pleasant Sabbaths.  
They told the children to run along and walk by themselves.  
When the man and woman were old and had nothing to  
do they were sad, for they had not even the joy of remember- 
ing fragant hyacinths—hours spent with their little boys and  
girls. They had been too busy.  
There have been countless people who have lived near  
the mountains and have never explored the wonders of a  
mountain stream; who have lived by the sea and have never  
lain awake at night listening to the roar or sat on a rock  
during a calm morning to watch the lazy sea-gulls and stare  
into the purple blue.  
There are those who have never inconvenienced them- 
selves in order to experience the fun of seeing faded eyes  
smile and tired faces brighten when Youth is thoughtful  
of Old Age. There are homes that might have rung with the  
guileless nothings of neighbor children but have stood som- 
ber while the joy that might have entered went elsewhere.  
Hearts have frozen and grown insensible that might have  
overflowed with Christian love and patience and hope.  
All of these hyacinths—Sabbath walks, taking time to  
love the beauty at hand, running across the street to visit  
an old lady, accepting Christ's life and studying it—are free.  
They do not require the selling of the second loaf, How sad  
that much of life omits their fragrance.  
In the field of learning there is also a deplorable state  
of callousness. Noisy youngsters dive into college intent on  
getting by and getting out with the least pain and the most  
speed possible. In comparatively few colleges does there pre- 
vail a profund respect or even an understanding of scholarly  
learning. Once it was the pride of scholars to be scholars— 
to develop thought powers and to be not only masters in  
one line but well informed in many cultural lines. The pres- 
ent college dash consists of grabbing off an abortive effi- 
ciency for the race through life. Educators are coming to  
believe that relaxing the grip on the past and teaching  
courses of only contemporary value has been a mistake. The  
restlessness of the age has robbed scholars of the hours that  
should be spent in searching wisdom for themselves. Conse- 
quently there is lacking the spirit of willingness to sell the  
second loaf in order to buy hyacinths.  
It is unfortunate in these serious times that instead of  
denying our bodies to be sure that our souls are whole we  
are frantically hording the second loaf. Now, of all times,  
no man can afford to starve his soul, If it were possible to  
summon Aladdin's genie, we would that he should put in  
the hearts of men a friendliness that goes the extra mile, a  
love of beauty that pauses to meditate, and a self-denial that  
sells the second loaf rather than starve the soul.

Our Advertisers  
Most of the firms listed on these pages have solicited business through the advertising columns of THE CLOCK  
TOWER this year. Others are by this means making known their courteous interest in Union College and its  
students. They are all reliable merchandisers and loyal friends—a priceless combination in those with whom  
we do business. We commend them heartily not only to the current students and friends of the college but  
also to that numerous host which will make up our student body next year and in after years. It is no distor- 
tion to say that these pages are profitable investments for the firms, because our students both read the ads  
and are responsive to friendly gestures.

For Your Attention--Union College  
This special number of The Clock Tower intends to convey an  
accurate picture of things at Union College—students, faculty,  
activities, intellectual and spiritual interests, opportunities, tradi- 
tions, and general atmosphere. The editors hope that they have  
been accurate and fair to the school which, for what seems to them  
like abundant reasons, has so firm a grip on their affections. It is  
hoped that the reader will be charitable with the shortcomings and  
that he will be profited by reading everything, including the cour- 
tesy ads. This special number represents community effort, for it is  
possible only by co-operation of the whole school. The various  
classes and organizations have provided their own cuts and have  
been helpful in other ways. These students are hereby thanked for  
their generous spirit. The College Press employees have likewise  
done extra work and have shown their interest in other ways.  
Plan to be on the Campus when  
School Opens September 12
