Special Summer Issue 
GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT: 
It gives me great pleasure to address a word of greeting to all the students 
of Union College—past, present, and future. 
Alumni of the college quite naturally turn their interest bock to the 
campus upon which they spent so many pleasant days, and we who are 
still privileged to be at the college wish to assure them that they are still 
remembered individuolly and collectively by the teachers who knew them. 
We take pleasure in following the record of graduates and the present 
student both of the college. They are scattered throughout the many states 
of the Midwest, and even in other states and countries. We read their can-
vass'ng records and their letters with interest and look forward to their return 
to us in the fall. 
To the large body of young people who are getting ready to come to Union 
College for the first time, we wish to extend an assurance that the faculty 
and staff of Union College is devoted to the service of those whose sincerity 
of purpose will lead them to enroll in this Christian college.

UNION COLLEGE PROGRESSES 
The founders of Union College were indeed 
optimistic, yet how their hearts would thrill if they 
could see how far beyond their greatest hopes and 
desires this college of theirs has progressed. 
The Seventh-day Adventist youth of the Middle 
Western states, realizing the importance of an edu-
cation in a Christian college, swelled the 1946-47 
ENROLLMENT at Union to over one thousand. With 
1078 (998 in college and 80 in the prep school) 
the enrollment is the largest in the history of the 
school, not including the 290 who registered for 
the summer session. The 60 member senior class 
of '47 is equalled only by the record class of 1922. 
Accommodations for classes during the past 
year would have been impossible without the NEW 
BUILDINGS which have been erected on the campus 
within the last several years. The SCIENCE BUILD-
ING is an indispensable addition which was complet-
ed just in time to take care of the increased num-
ber enrolled in natural and physical sciences. The 
biology department (the second largest department 
of the college the past year), the chemistry depart-
ment, and the physics department occupy the three 
floors of the new $100,000 building. The comple-
tion of the MUSIC BUILDING made provision for 
the many students in this field. There are 20 prac-
tice rooms, 7 teachers' studios, and on the second 
floor is a commodious auditorium for student recit-
als, band, orchestra, and choir rehearsals. Other 
comparatively new buildings are the Library, which 
now boasts over 39,000 volumes, the Auditorium, 
which with the nearly finished tennis courts also 
provides a place of recreation for Union's many 
students, and a large Warehouse for the industries. 
The quarter of a million dollar dining room will be 
the next building erected on the campus. 
At Union may be felt a worm friendliness which 
exists between students and instructors. Although 
IN THIS ISSUE OF THE CLOCK TOWER an at-
tempt has been mode to portray some of the activi-
ties of Union College students, their places of study, 
work, and relaxation. The three full page pictures 
show scenic spots on the campus. On the front cover 
Audra Ching, Kent Dickinson, Lawrence Bogdano-
vich, and Edna Jensen stop in front of the Admin-
istration Building for a visit after class. On the page 
opposite, Ed Wyman pauses for a moment with 
Myrtle Schwandt, Virginia Grotheer, and Glenn Rice 
to enjoy a few minutes on Union's beautiful cam-
pus. On the back cover appears a typical view of 
the waterwheel and rock garden in back of the girls' 
dormitory—"one of the coolest corners on the cam-
pus," Floyd Scott tells his colleagues Jacquelyn 
Faucher, Floyd Eccles, Ulric Martin, and Barbara 
Dodson. 
the institution has no Student Association as such, 
student participation in the government of the 
school is evidenced in nearly every organization. 
The Student-Faculty Council is a committee in 
which student plans and wishes may be brought to 
the attention of the teachers; working on a co-oper-
ative basis also ore the Social and Special Events 
Committees, the Student Publications Staffs, and 
the House Committees of the respective school 
homes. 
Many of the DEPARTMENTS of the college are 
expanding. The Business and Secretarial Training 
Department now occupies more than half of the 
first floor of the Administration Building. The 
Speech Department has just completed a remodel-
ing of their quarters to better facilitate teaching of 
radio speech. This includes a laboratory, office, 
broadcasting studio, and control room very similar 
to that of a commercially operated studio. In addi-
tion to disc recording apparatus, the department 
also has recently made installation of a "Sounding 
Mirror" and a wire recorder. The Music Department 
has expanded its staff for the coming year, in add-
ing a number of new teachers. 
UNION COLLEGE SCHOOL OF NURSING is an 
institution unique in being one of the two Seventh-
day Adventist nursing schools to offer a B.S. in 
nursing in four years. It is the only two-state col-
lege campus in the denomination, students in this 
course taking class work on the college campus and 
at affiliated hospitals in Colorado. Thus the fresh-
man year is completed in Lincoln; the sophomore, 
junior, and part of the senior years ore spent at 
Boulder, Denver, and Pueblo; and the last semester 
before graduation is spent again at Lincoln. 
In SPIRITUALITY the year of 1946 - 47 has 
been one of growth. The activities of the year past 
would have been impossible, and the achievements 
mentioned would have been impossible without the 
blessings and guidance of the Lord. The Spirit of 
the consecrated Christian youth in attendance at 
Union may be felt in everything that is done within 
the school. Much appreciated during the school year 
were the two Weeks of Prayer which were conducted 
by Elder Lynn Wood, of Washington, D.C., and 
Elder N. R. Dower, of Amarillo, Texas. Not soon 
to be forgotten were the inspirational talks in 
chapel, and the quiet thought-provoking services in 
Friday evening vespers. The students have re-
sponded to their Master's call for service as is evi-
denced by the 46 new Golden Cords which were 
hung this spring for alumni entering foreign service. 
True progress never stops. Union College will 
continue to grow. 
/ bDve: The a:r-conditioneJ Library is a building of which we 
may well be proud. Marian Moy is glad to help Judy Thompson 
and Richard Pitsch find the right reference book. 
Above: Ruth Je-tnron and Sarah Emb:eton also learn while they 
tench the children at the Elementary school. The Teacher Training 
course prepares for a life work. 
The study of the frog is just ono:her port of Biology. Rex Wolters and Mar;orie Wearner 
Icok on as Mary Louise Loveless, Graduate Assistant in Biology, points out the muscles of 
:he frog. Rex ponders the scientific name.

find enjoyment in a quiet evening at 
home with their families; others relax 
with friends in their respective school 
homes; while still others obtain pleasure 
in harmonizing on old familiar melodies.
