Premer, '15, Speaks on Spirit of Union Lived Out in Lives of Men At the annual alumni luncheon former graduates and the class of '39 were entertained in the college dining hall May 29 at 1:00 p.m. The announcement of the ballot for new officers for the coming year re- vealed Ivamae Small Hilts, '28. presi- dent; Louis Pettis, '34, first vice-presi- dent; Opal Wheeler Dick, '23, second vice-president; and H. L. Keene, '17, treasurer. Declaring that the spirit of Union is the same today as it was twenty- five years ago, and that it has been the same across the years, C. L. Premer, '15, reminded the alumni that the progress which Union has made is great; but greater are the ideals of the college lived out by the men and women who have received the imprint of Union. President Rulkoetter addressed the group, and Elder E. L. Pingenot ex- tended a welcome to the class of '39, A. C. Griffin, class pastor, responding. May Matthews, student in 1930-31, who went to Abyssinia in the fall of '31 and who has just returned from that field, spoke on the status of our missionary work there under the new regime. Francis Avery sang "I Love Life"; and Alten Bringle, '35, who Just re- turned with his wife from Africa, sang "Sylvia." The college male quartet, Avery, Seitz, Pember, and Mazart, sang "The Musketeers." Advanced Degrees from Nebraska University to Three Unionites President A. H. Rulkoetter, of Union college, was granted the degree of master of arts from the University of Nebraska Monday morning June 5. President Rulkoetter's work was done in the field of educational administra- tion. M. J. Sorenson, former missionary to Ethiopia, also received his master's degree in the field of European his- tory. Mrs. H. C. Hartman was awarded the degree of bachelor of fine arts with honors. U. C. Placement Bureau Fills Six More Positions Vesta Fillman will teach church school at Galena, Kansas, next year. Grace Hackett will teach in a ten- grade school in San Antonio, Texas. Leora Van Allen has been engaged to teach church school at Topeka, Kansas. Maurine Peterson will teach church school at St. Louis, Missouri. Boyd Olson has been accepted by the Missouri Conference as a minis- terial intern. Dolores Graham will teach church school at Fruita, Colorado. President Rulkoetter Counsels Surrender to Divine Will The big Seventh-day Adventist church in College View was filled Sabbath morning, May 27, for the Union college baccalaureate services, President Rulkoetter told the graduat- ing class in his sermon that they must allow God to develop their lives and work through them for the accom- plishment of great things. He stressed the point that man can do little by himself, but that God can accomplish wonders through man. To illustrate the power of God, President Rulkoetter spoke of the un- folding of a flower. If human beings allowed the power of God to work, he said, the flower will blossom per- fectly. To carry on the illustration, the speaker pointed out that the or- dinary chrysanthemum blossom is rather small, but that the florists treat the plants in such a manner that the blossoms become huge. In the same way, he said, lives vary by virtue of the treatment accorded them. President Rulkoetter quoted the passage from Zachariah, "not by power nor by might, but by my spirit," using it as further illustration of the "mighty things that can be accom- plished by God through man." As examples of the power working through man, the speaker touched upon the experiences of Gideon, Moses, and David, all of whom, he said, became infinitely greater through the working of God's power in them. The president quoted Emerson's famous statement, "The end of all learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to learn to love, trust, and imitate Him." He also quoted Daniel 11:32, which says that "the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." The graduating class entered to the processional, Haydn's "The Heavens Are Telling," played by the organ and string ensemble. The congrega- tion sang a hymn, "Walking with God." by Barnes. J. W. Rowland pronounced the invocation, and the church choir sang Macfarlane's "Open Our Eyes." 0. T. Garner gave the benediction. College Bakery Moves to Improved Quarters The college bakery moved into its new home last week, the space in the northeast South hall basement oc- cupied in former years by the college dairy and more recently used as craft shop and broom shop storerooms. Though the new bakery is not much larger than the old, it is of a shape that will permit a more efficient ar- rangement of equipment, and it may now be entered from the kitchen or the outdoors. The three windows provide ample lighting and, together with the three doors, will allow much better ventilation than was possible in the former location. The bakery did a thriving business in doughnuts and pies the past year, but the move to better quarters was made in anticipation of a substantial increase in commercial baking this next year. The large space occupied at pres- ent by the ladies' dressing room will be made into a recreation rocm for the men of South hall. Live to Full Measure of Capacity, Speaker's Counsel to Seniors Union college conferred bachelor of arts degrees on 46 senior students and gave one bachelor of science degree in absentia Sunday morning at the college's 48th annual commence- ment in the College View Sev- enth-day Adventist church. "Education should be defined in terms of results—of life," declared M. L. Andreasen, professor of Biblical exegesis at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological seminary in Washington, D. C., in his address of the morning. "An educated man is one who has learned to live to the full measure of his capacity," he asserted. Professor Andreasen developed his address around the ten points that mark an educated man: ability to make a living, reasonable living habits, a just view and appreciation of life, faith in God and man, a supreme reverence for truth, an active religion, ability to live with others, a willing- ness to share and sacrifice, a desire to serve, purity and consecration of life. President A. H. Rulkoetter con- ferred the degrees on the graduating seniors. Invocation was given by G. D. Hagstotz and the benediction by J. M. Howell. Estelle Kiehnhoff (Continued on page 4) South Hall Men Elect Governing Committee Kannenberg Chosen Chairman, Bauer and Bieber Associates South hall will be supervised by a committee consisting of Stanley Kan- nenbarg, chairman; Bill Bieber and Albert Bauer. assistants, during the summer while Dean Habenicht is away. The men discussed the problem in worship, and voted a system of self- government with a committee of three which is to have charge of the dormi- tory. The committee meets once a week to outline the program in the dormi- tory and take care of business. The main work of the committee members is to keep the dormitory in running condition, conduct worship, and see that the details of routine work are taken care of throughout the day. South hall men are proud of the trust placed in them, and each .fellow is taking the responsibility of personal self-government. Before leaving on June 7, Dean Habenicht expressed his confidence in the men and chal- lenged them to return a good report for the summer. ) Ninety-five Shown Registered for '39 Summer School Enlarged Instructional Staff Offers Variety of Courses to Students Ninety-five students regis- tered for the nine-weeks session of summer school beginning June 5.

On all other even- ings of the week, worship is held in each dormitory. Former Unionites Finish Medical Course Dean Schilling Tells Seniors to Dedicate Lives to Service Class of '39 Accepts Charge to Devote Selves To Serve Christian Cause Forty-seven seniors of Union col- lege were consecrated at a service in the College View S.D.A. church Fri- day night, May 26, before an audi- ence of about 1000. In the consecration address, Dean H. K. Schilling urged the outgoing students to dedicate their lives to service and to seek to know God. "Knowing God," he declared, "is more than intellectual acquiesence in Chris- tian doctrine; it. is living a life Add service." Dean Schilling warned that "politics and wire pulling" may be found even in the church, but he urged the stu- dents to endeavor to rise above it and seek higher ideals. "The most important thing in the world is to know God,- he added. "As Christ made known to man the meaning of His name, so we are to make known the true significance of it." After the processional by the organ and string ensemble, Ivamae Small Hilts of the speech department, opened the service with scripture reading. F. H. Yost, chairman of the Bible department, gave the invocation. J. N. Anderson, professor of Biblical languages, delivered the consecration prayer. P. C. James, senior presi- dent, responded to Dean Schilling's address. H. G. Reinmuth, modern language chairman, gave the benedic- tion. C. C. Engel and Clayoma En- gel Foreman played a violin duct. Former students or graduates of Union college who were graduated from the College of Medical Evan- gelists this June include three •from the White Memorial School of Nurs- ing and seven from the four-year course in medicine.

SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE OFFERED T HE HANGING of a golden cord is truly the most representative ceremony that can occur at Union college. It expresses the culmination of Chris- tian training in the beginning of a life of positive Christian service. Of course, we know that every one of us cannot occupy a place in a foreign mission field. We have heard this a great many times—too often, perhaps. Have we heard it so often that some of us have lost sight of the objective for which Union college really stands? For Union college is not merely an educa- tional center. We come here to learn from books, it is true. But we could go elsewhere for that. We come here for something better. Union is prepared to give to every student of the sacred fire—spiritual life, acquaintance with God. And then—what? There was in ancient Athens an annual festival in honor of the god Prometheus. On this occasion it was the custom for the young people of the city to engage in a most significant race. Under the con- ditions of the race, he who won had to show a rare combination of judgment and speed. The runners were required to light their torches at the holy fires that burned always on the altar of Prometheus, which was about a mile and a half outside the city. With his lighted torch, each rushed to an obelisk in the city, and the first to arrive with torch still burning was the winner. When the sacred fire is yours, keep it burn- ing. Don't let it go out in the race for an education. Tend it carefully, that it may be ready to light you on in a life of service when you have finished college. H ERE AT UNION we smile and say, ""Hello.'" Even if we meet the same person several times in one morning, there is an exchange of greetings. We like friends and we like to be friendly. If you're not in the habit of smiling and speaking when you meet someone, practice up this summer. You won't crack your voice, and a smile will probably not wrinkle your cheeks. Friendliness between students and between stu- dents and teachers has always made Union known as the -cordial college.- E VEN the most casual observer needs no goading to notice the improvements that have been actual- ized at Old Union. With each year come noticeable changes for increased efficiency on the campus. Union is on the way up. We have our new library, a veritable haven for the would-be scholar and in itself an opportunity with the richest possibilities. Also, the industrial setup of the college continues to improve under the careful and frugal direction of experienced men. New equipment is being installed; some of the plants are being renovated and enlarged each year; and working conditions are made more satisfactory to students working a part or all of their way through college. In addition, the curriculum is growing — new courses are being attached to an already expansive list of subjects. And as a result, students are af- forded a wider choice than ever before to serve them in preparing for their respective jobs in the world field. Truly, Union has gained notable momentum during the past decade. She has built up a dynamo of power that can be either usefully potent or dangerously ram- pant. What will she do with this power? It is for us—students, faculty, and field—to keep ever in mind the principles and purposes for which Old Union was founded; to remember for what reason we have generated our strength; and to make effective use of it in the direction of the noble cause of which we all are a part. Union College Desires Only Consecrated Young People By H. K. SCHILLING, Dean U NION COLLEGE does not exist for its own sake. It is a service institution. It operates particularly for the benefit of Seventh-day Adventist youth who are interested in collegiate education. Therefore it has clearcut objectives which together with its program, policies, and ideals arise directly out of a philosophy of education which is dis- tinctly and distinctively Seventh-day Adventist in conception. Consequent implications of this fact have been set forth in detail repeatedly in this paper and elsewhere and need not be dis- cussed again in this article. However, there is one of these implications which needs to be called to the atten- tion of prospective students of the col- lege, namely, that a college can op- erate consistently with its ideals only when its faculty and student body are thoroughly in sympathy with those ideals and when there exists practical unanimity among them as to the desirability of the ways and means adopted for the realization of those ideals in practice. You who are planning to attend college the coming year will be welcome at Union College—provided you are actively and wholeheartedly interested in perpetuating its standards and ideals. Union college is not interested in students who are merely passive in their acquiescence with its regulations, and of course it will not knowingly admit and retain those who may be positively opposed to them. There is a great task to be performed in the realm of Chris- tian education. To accomplish it will require all available resources of Christian student-teacher communities: keen minds, clean hearts, strong bodies, devotion to the common cause, unity of purpose, unselfish cooperation—all dedicated to God. It will mean hardship, difficulties, sacrifice, and tremendous individual and corporate effort. Union college is looking for students who wish passionately to participate in that undertaking and are willing and anxious to give it all they have. Such students will be happy at Union —and such students will receive a true education at Union. Appreciation of Work � Faculty Members Hold Shown at Farewell Party Farewell Dinner for Six Given Elder Pingenot � A farewell dinner was held by the istry here. The program was con- master of ceremonies. L. Pingenot, pastor of the College View S.D.A. church, and to his fam- ily, at a church gathering the eve- ducted with Prof. J. N. Anderson as ning of May 22, marking the close of the pastor's recent period of min- three years, coming here from Denver, where he will be pastor of the church. Colorado, in 1936.

Rulkoettcr spoke of ties of friendship between the pas- tor and the college. Representing the church, William Robertson recounted the pastor's achievements here. Vernon Dunn spoke of the relation of Elder Pingenot to the Sabbath school, and Mrs. F. H. Peterson, the Dorcas leader, represented the Welfare so- ciety. F OREIGN traveler, lover of Paris, ora- tor, amateur radio man—that's Rey- nolds Hoffman, sophomore at Union col- lege. Last winter Reynolds worked in the power house. He's an expert plumber, especially when it comes to coaxing a lazy drain that has developed a case of pernicious "clogania." It's been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but for Reynolds Hoffman one needs a special passport in the form of angel food cake. He's an advocate of individualized cookery. Everyone has his pipe dreams, but not everyone sees his dreams come true. Reynolds Hoffman saw the realization of his dream to study and travel in foreign countries when he spent one school year at the Alliance Francaise in Paris, and later traveled through Italy, Switzerland, England, and France. After his fling abroad he came back to Union college for a double major—religion and French— and a minor in history. While a resident here at Union college this summer, he finds time to be the superintendent of the college Sabbath school. Dean Schilling George Stillman's remarks were made in behalf of the church school and junior work, stressing continua- tion of the progressive programs the pastor had begun. George Stone expressed the mem- bers' appreciation for the presence of Mrs. Pingenot in the activities of the church. She was presented with a bouquet of flowers. Thirteen Promoted Those of the men in training ad- judged by the officers worthy of pro- motion were ceremonially accorded the following rankings on June 2: Herbert Schmidt, Kansas, first ser- geant; V. W. Becker, Texas, platoon ser- geant; Robert Crawford, Missouri, platoon sergeant; Raymond J. Daily, Missouri; Flet- cher Savage, Texas; Elmer Frimml, Nebraska: and Allen Vanderman, Minnesota. all section sergeants; Robert Crone, Texas; William Gib- son, Colorado; Vinson Shrunk, Kan- sas; Harry Welsh, Texas; and Dia- mond Gore, Louisiana, all corporals; Palmer Schmidt, Kansas, first class private. Dwight Nies, of Kansas, was bugler for the company, and Toba Warren, Texas, guidon bearer. The men received intensive train- ing in basic military drill, litter drill, extended order maneuvers in clear- ing field of casualties, and a complete course in first aid. Five and a half hours were spent on the field each day, and an hour and a half of class- room medical instruction was given every afternoon by Captain Emery. Addressed by Special Speakers Special speakers assigned to ad- dress the Medical corps members at morning or evening meetings were Elder J. F. Piper, president of the Central Union conference of Seventh- day Adventists; Elder J. M. Howell, educational secretary of the Central Union conference; Elder R. J. Chris- tian, Missionary Volunteer secretary of the Central Union conference, El- der K. L. Gant, educational secretary of the Northern Union conference; Elder J. A. Tucker, of Oak Park academy, Nevada, Iowa; and G. T. Burgess, Elder A. E. Hagen, and El- der C. A. Purdom, all of the Nebras- ka conference. Reveille sounded at 6:00 a.m., as- sembly and setting-up exercises came at 6:30, breakfast at 7:10, and room inspection at 7:30. The remainder of the day was divided among drill periods, chapel, first aid instruction, meals, and recreation. During recrea- tion periods the recruits swam, or played baseball, basketball, and vol- leyball. A roundtable discussion in- volving the problems of military life was held each evening. Camp Requirements In order to attend the camp each man was required to be at least eighteen years of age and without prospect of attending college. Each furnished his transportation to and from the camp. Field uniforms con- sisted of blue shirts, blue bibless over- alls and white sun helmets. Dress uniforms were white trousers, white shirts, black four-in-hand ties, black belts, and black shoes. The total cost of each man's board and room for the ten days was $15.00. A public demonstration consisting of parade in review of the corps, followed by a platoon drill, litter drill, and physical exercises was given Tuesday evening. Summer Unionites Relax with Varied Pastimes Swimming, cycling, playing tennis and horseshoe have been the main sources of recreation for the summer students and workers here at Union during the past couple of weeks. Right now, the swimming pool is a little stormy sea of waves and splashes. Many end their day's ac- tivities by taking a dip in the pool, and then go out and wheel across the country on a bike; or maybe, smack the ball across the tennis court, or throw a "ringer" or two on the horseshoe stob. Several good games of tennis have had a number of spectators in the evening after supper. The village students offer some good competition to the college players. —Plans are being made for the en- tertainment of the summer students to give them some diversion from the regular routine of classes and work. BY JOE BECKNER The treasurer of the '39 Golden Cords has just announced (after hours of toil interspersed with hair-pulling, etc., over the books) that the annual for this year has paid out. This is good news to the exhausted staff which has been waiting fearfully for the outcome. After the staff read how the seniors of Midland college had to dig dandelions, wash windows, haul bricks, and otherwise labor for their institution to pay off the debt they incurred in producing their year- book, each member got a double case of physical and mental prostration. The books are now clear for the '40 Golden Cords. However, there are still a few copies of the '39 Golden Cords left. If you have not yet ob- tained your copy, rush your dollar and a half to the business office, and your copy will be sent immediately. The other day a representative of a large printing establishment in St. Joseph, Missouri, came into the office. He told how his house writes copy for, organizes, and prints the year- book of a large business college; then the house sells the college the books for a tidy sum right around five dol- lars apiece. The book was a neat bit of printing, but how could a book produced in such a way really catch the spirit of the school? The gentleman was quite surprised when he was told that the Union col- lege student body edits its own book, but when he was informed that the book is also printed and bound here in the college industries, he packed up his samples and went home. (After all, why should he hang around a place like that?) With the book out of the red and prospects for a bigger student body next year, things are looking up for an even bigger and better annual for 1940. May the Golden Cords al- ways reflect the true spirit of Union! K EEPER of the trees. flowers and shrubs is Joseph Judson Beckner, bet- ter known as Joe, the man about the cam- pus at Union college. His job affords Joe ample time to reflect on his problem—the justification o f teaching mathematics. You see, Joe is a mathematics major. When Joe starts teaching, he'll have plenty of stu- dents once they hear that he � believes i n letting classes out on time. Joe has high ambitions —high, because he wants to build airplanes. He also does soap carving, and according to reports he has a number of models. Maybe that ac- counts for his intricate handling of the power mower used on the campus. Although Joe has never taken Persua- sive Speaking, he conducted a laboratory in persuasion during the past second se- mester, and as a result, the GOLDEN CORDS came out on the right side. Now he's worrying about his new job—business manager of the GOLDEN CORDS. But these worries don't dampen his usual good spirits. "Another day, another dollar— we hope!"—that's his slogan. People B IOLOGIST, ornithologist, anthropolo- gist—three in one in the form of Stanley Kannenberg, senior at Union, who is getting some practical experience work- ing in South hall this summer preparatory to his work in the biol- ogy lab here next win- ter. Stanley has one main objective, that of being a good science teacher — emphasis on the good. He divulged the other night that he likes any- thing in the wilds, but Kannenberg � what he really means is that he likes nature, birds, flowers, and the like. In fact, according to reports, he is something of a taxidermist. He revealed that he had done very little stuffing; in fact, he doesn't like cake. Perhaps that sort of stuffing would hardly be cata- loged under taxidermy. Besides his scientific accomplishments Stanley is the chorister for the Union college Sabbath school and also helps with the sunshine bands.

Rees, former dean of wo- men here, and H. A. Morrison, for- merly president of Union college, were guests here during commence- ment week. Miss Rees is now dean of women at Atlantic Union college, Lancaster, Massachusetts. Elder Morrison is educational secretary of the General conference of S. D. A. in Washing- ton, D. C. D. J. WEISS Great thinkers of today do not agree with the optimistic belief that the world is enlarging its field of fellowship, for they know that man- kind has lost his bearing and has reason to be fearful and anxious, stated Elder R. J. Christian, home missionary secretary of the Central union conference of Seventh-day Ad- ventists, in his Ingathering-launching sermon in the College View church Sabbath, June 3. This is the time when angels are holding the four Winds of strife till God's servants are sealed, Elder Christian said, and Seventh-day Ad- ventists should sense their responsi- bilities of giving the gospel while conditions are ripe. The Ingathering goal for the Col- lege View church was set at $2500. The speaker suggested that when one goes out with the Ingathering annual he should not feel that it is a burden but should rejoice that he is a Sev- enth-day Adventist. Everyday the equivalent of a new church of 123 souls is added to the denomination, which already has a membership of nearly half a million, and every five and a half days the advent message is proclaimed in a new language, Elder Christian reported. Provisions for territory were made for persons ready to begin the cam- paign. Hope was expressed that the College View church would follow the pace set yast year by the Austral- asian field, which reached its entire goal in three weeks.

Chorister Stanley Kannenberg led a short song service before each meeting. HORNUNG HARDWARE Across from South Hall President Urges Summer School Students to Teach with Purpose No teacher should be satisfied with his teaching accomplishment in any field until he is certain that his pupils understand the principle involved, per- ceive its truth, and are able to state what they have learned, quoted Presi- dent A. H. Rulkoetter in his chapel talk to the summer school students June 7. To restore in man the image of his Maker, and to point out to him the purpose of God in His workings with mankind, the president summarized as the principle aims of true education, emphasizing the vital necessity of having definite objectives in teaching. President Rulkoetter's talk had par- ticular pertinency since the majority of Union's summer school students either are, or plan to be, teachers in elementary or secondary schools.
