That her statement so nearly approaches truth is all the more re- grettable when we stop to consider the endless opportunities that a college community puts before an individual who is alert and eager to expand his knowledge and broaden his experience. A student in college who can exist from day to day and from week to week without discovering something that will make his eyes bright with (Continued on page 2) • • Union's Religious Philosophy From a chapter on religion, by Charles Frederick Wishart, president of the College of Wooster, in a symposium for college students, On Going to College, we read expressed in forceful terms a philosophy of re- l • � igion which Union college incorpor- ates in her educational administration. "Not only is the religious idea univer- sal and central to all thinking. It is also synthetic. By that we mean that it tends to integrate our mental proces- ses, to weld them into harmony, to furnish a framework in which life's en- tire picture may be seen sanely and whole. Most of our studies are analyti- cal. Their business is to take the machinery apart and see the wheels go round. Philosophy and religion are con- structive, enabling one to put the ma- chinery together again into a working organization. Religion can do this far more effectively even than philosophy, for it uses faith, imagination, intuition, and practical experience. as well as pure theory and logic, in arriving at its conclusions. . . . "Is not this the supreme need of edu- cation today? We have specialized our- selves into utterly unrelated lines of study, until the academic chorus is jangling and discordant, and the whole- some unity of the medieval university has given place to a confusing variety of departments, each supplying a mis- cellany of information in a language that the others cannot understand, a Babel of discord, each in his own tongue .stridently praising the little gods of the inductive method, all engaging in fruit- less debates, fruitless because there is no common ground of discussion and scarcely a commonly accepted set of definitions by which such discussion can proceed. "It is not to be assumed, however, that religion has its value solely as a stabilizing factor. It does have that function, of course. But beyond this it sounds a challenge to spiritual war- ( � fare. It is a pioneering study. It con- stantly seeks a better country. It makes the magnificent leap of faith toward the things which cold logic cannot attain; not an unreasonable faith, but one that is checked not by the laboratory of the scientist but by the experience of life itself. . . ." • Two Missionaries from Inca Union Mission Will Attend Here Next Year Two missionaries, in the United States on a furlough from Inca Union mission in South America, will attend Union college during the coming school year, according to recent re- ports from the business office. 3 � � Elder G.

All entering freshmen are required to be in attendance for the entire Freshman week. During this time psychological, achievement, and placement tests are given in order to determine the individual student's ap- titudes and training, and thus to aid him more intelligently in selecting the proper curriculum and courses. These tests are not entrance examinations. During Freshman week the beginner has the opportunity of becoming ac- quainted with the plant and facilities of the college, upperclassmen, teach- (Continued on page 2) Wallace Nethery, '34, Gives Program of Characterizations Largest Summer Audience on Record Hears Alumnus in Variety of Readings A program of readings and charac- terizations was given by Wallace Nethery, Union alumnus and recently elected English and speech instructor at Atlantic Union College, in the col- lege chapel the evening of July 22. The program was interspersed with musical selections by students of Miss Estelle Kiehnhoff. The first characterization by Mr. Nethery, "Auction of Hearts," was that of an old southern gentleman with a desire to ease the burdens of the whole world. A horn-rim spectacled gentleman carrying a bamboo cane under his arm and a questionable amount of information in his head appeared on the platform on his way to see the doctor about his failing memory. He told of an incident at the "apartment" store, where his wife had sent him after some Ivory soap. There finally, after trying several clerks, he suc- ceeded in remembering and explain- ing to a sufficient degree the nature of the article that he wanted. He placed his order and, being overjoyed with (Continued on page 2) Union college has lost a model Unionite—a typical Unionite. Paul Whitlow graduated; so he took the ten-o'clock bus for home. The ques- tion so many Unionites asked last year, "What will Union be like without Paul?" was 'perhaps more than jest. "You see," he explained in his earnest way, but with a character- istic twinkle in his eye, "I would have left sooner, but I had to stay and give a Bible study last night. I don't want to go on the morning bus because it goes over the roughest country I've ever traveled, but if I take the ten-o'clock bus in the eve- ning, it goes over a much easier route and I can have the whole back scat to sleep in, and I'll wake up the next morning at home in Wichita." Corning in the back door of South hall last night we noticed Paul in the pressing room doing his last bit of ironing at Union college. We stopped at the door. "How're you doin', Paul?" we quer- ied. Editor of British Adventist Journals Sees U.C. Industries W. L. Emmerson, editor of the Present Truth and British Advent Messenger, and of Good Health, and member of the board of directors of the British house, Stanborough Press, Ltd., in Stanborough Park, Watford, Herts, England, spent a few hours inspecting the industrial plant of Union college the afternoon of July 30. "Your industries are much more highly developed than are ours in England," exclaimed Mr. Emmerson as he saw in operation one after the other of Union's several industries in his brief tour of the campus. He stated further: "Of course, competi- tion is much keener in England, which makes it hard for our college to conduct an intensive industrial pro- gram. Newbold Missionary college has an enrolment of but 120 because of the fact that cash requirements are necessarily higher than are yours here. In place of working in a heavy industrial program such as you carry on at Union, more than thirty per cent of our students enter some phase of the canvassing work to help pay their way through school." The processes of broom-making and library bookbinding were a new experience to the visiting editor, he said. Sampling some freshly made dairy ice cream, Mr. Emmerson re- marked about the quality and prom- inence of that product in the Amer- ican diet as contrasted to its corn- (Continued on page 4) Librarian D. G. Hilts Does Annual Institute D. G. Hilts, Union college librar- ian, attended the fourth Institute for Librarians in Service in the series sponsored by the Graduate Library School at the University of Chicago during the first two weeks of August. Papers centered around one particu- lar phase of library service are pre- sented by various authorities in the library field, and time is given to discussion of each paper, said Mr. Hilts when questioned about the na- ture of the institute. Feigning surprise, he gasped, "Huh? Oh! Er-a-a, why,—I'm ironing!" And there he stood between two ironing boards, a steaming iron in each hand, doing two pieces at once, sweating and grinning as happily as ever. "Leaving tonight?" we queried. "Yes, I am," he replied, ironing faster. "Pretty soon." We turned down the hall. "Well, good-bye, Paul. Good Luckl" "Thanks!" he called back. "Good- bye!" And a half hour later Union col- lege had lost a model Unionite. Paul Whitlow, average man but exceedingly cheerful and kinky-haired, is a native of Kansas, Wichita, he says. What all he was and did there doesn't matter so much to us, for at Union college he has done nearly everything. When he first came here four years ago, he was put to work in the mill. After that he worked short per- iods and long periods in the power- (Continued on page 2) Full Complement of Applied, Theoretical Courses Offered Advances in educational ad- ministration for the academic year 1939-1940 include majors reduced in hours but increased in requirements, a new type of vocational requirement, and the deletion of less important courses in favor of new ones felt by Union's educational of- ficials to be of outstanding value in the curriculum, enumerated Dean H. K. Schilling in an interview here recently. A student may now major in any of the following fields by taking the number of hours specified and by observing any particular departmental requirements for his chosen major. Departmental majors consist of twen- ty-six hours in the fields of religion, biology, chemistry, economics, English, history, home economics, mathematics, modern language, and physics, and thirty-six hours in the field of music. Group majors consist of thirty-six hours in natural science and in social science. A minor consists of fifteen hours in any one field, with the following exceptions. No minor may be earned in education; fifteen hours exclusive of freshman composition constitute an English minor; six hours in ad- dition to the prescribed requirement constitute a minor in a modern langu- age; and twenty hours, including four hours of upper division credit, con- stitute a minor in religion. The requirement of proficiency in labor, formerly called the vocational (Continued on page 2) Language and Education Faculty to Washington For Teachers' Meeting Dr. H. G.

C., this month. Miss Shepard will also work at General conference headquarters this summer with a committee charged with drawing up the educational ob- jectives of the Seventh-day Adventist educational system. The work of this committee will constitute a worth- while contribution to the denomina- tional program of teaching and learn- ing.

Miss Sampson 'received a bachelor of arts degree from Washington Mis- sionary college, took her nurses' train- ing at the Washington sanitarium, and took a bachelor of science in nursing education at Washington Mis- sionary college. Floyd R. Kleiman, resident of Col- lege View and employee of Gotfred- son Motors, will join the industrial faculty of Union college in September as college engineer, filling the vacancy left by Fred Sofsky's resignation last spring on account of ill health. Mr. Kleiman has had intensive boil- er room experience while in attendance at Mankato Teachers' college in Min- nesota, and is an expert mechanical engineer. Oakwood Junior College, Plainview, and Shelton Get Teachers from Union The following information concern- ing placements of former students has been received here recently. Elder M. J. Sorenson, former mis- sionary to Ethiopia who received his master's degree from the University of Nebraska this spring, has accepted a position as Bible teacher at Plain- view academy, Redfield, South Da- kota. Doris Wilcox, '39, will teach home economics in a high school near her home at Harris, Minnesota, next year. 'Cornelius Harris, '39, will be dean of men and commercial instructor at Oakwood Junior college near Hunts- ville, Alabama, next year. Mr. Har- ris took a business and economics major at Union college and was for two terms in his senior year secretary- treasurer of Sigma Iota Kappa proper, the men's club. John Christensen, '39, moved his family this week to Shelt emy, Shelton, Nebraska, will be preceptor and science teacher. for the next year. Majors Cut to 26 Hours But Specifications in Each Department Made The revised curriculum of the music department, putting it on the same level of high standards as the other depart- ments of the college, constitutes one of the most significant ad- vances in educational adminis- tration of the year, declared Dean H. K. Schilling in a re- cent interview concerning new departures for the school year of 1939-1940. The work of the music department is designed to meet the needs of two types of students: those who are primarily interested in other fields, but who are conscious of the great contribution music has made to civi- lization and to the enrichment of individual lives and wish therefore to make first-hand contact with it themselves; and those who need basic training preparatory to becoming musicians or teachers of music. Since there is a definite need for a limited number of trained musicians the department is offering a major and a minor. The major consists of thirty-six hours, including twelve in applied music; the minor consists of fifteen hours, including six of ap- plied music. Sufficient hours in courses other than music should be taken each year, so that in the four years the student will have fulfilled the requirement of one hundred twenty-five hours for a degree. A student taking voice as the ap- plied music on a major must elect as early as possible in the college course four semesters of piano, two semesters of German, two semesters of French, and speech courses, Interpretative speech and Voice and diction. Each student majoring in music will be required to give a recital in the senior year. Whereas in the past the setting up (Continued on page 2) Women's Dormitory Gets Repairs and Redecorating Before Opening of School North hall, the women's dormitory at Union college, is being made ready for those who are coming to Union college and North hall for the first time and for those who are return- ing.

All the floors are to be varnished, twenty-five rooms are to be painted, in addition to those rooms that are to be papered. The first and sec- ond-floor halls will be redecorated soon.

Union Loses Typical Unionite FROM THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE O NLY a short time remains until Union opens its doors to the youth of this message for its fiftieth year, save one, of continuous service. It was within its walls that many youth for the first time learned to sound the depth of their own ability and to know their God in a personal way. It was here at Old Union that the boundaries of their vision expanded, and it was here that these earlier students learned to weigh true values. In Union's classrooms their own torch was lighted by the spark of learning, and they went forth to ignite the tapers of others. This same service the institu- tion is ready to proffer to those who come this year. To you who have come for the first time and to you who have been here before, Union extends its hand in heartiest welcome. A. H. RULKOETTER, President. Elder B. L.

God's Promises Are Sure, States Elder Rowland Many question the rulership of God in the world today because of the presence of so much trouble, stated Elder J. W. Rowland at the College View S. D. A. church in his sermon Sabbath morning, July 15. Some of these very doubters, de- clared the speaker, will come to the time of the end when Jer. 8:20 will apply to their experience: "The har- vest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." But those who believe in God's Word "look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness," El- der Rowland said, quoting from the Apostle Peter, and know that "God is not slack concerning His promise." Bible Needs No Defence; Witnesses, Not Lawyers That Jesus was primarily interested in the Kingdom of God which is in the heart, and that its develop- ment there is a slow, unobtrusive, natural growth like that of the mus- tard seed is told in the parable of Matthew 13:31, was the dominant idea of Dean H. K. Schilling's talk to the South hall men at Worship July 18. Dean Schilling said in part: "We should be witnesses rather than law- yers in our defense of religion. It seems to me that in dealing with skeptics we ought to let the Bible rest on its own merits, along with other books. I should tell the doubter, 'Read it, and if there is something in it that appeals, take it and make it a part of you.' For I know its in- fluence and its message will grow as the mustard seed that grew into a great tree, and will permeate the whole life as the lump of leaven that spread through the whole loaf." TOWER ... (Continued from page I) interest and his heart warm with ap- preciation is surely a case type to the educational psychologists who are so concerned today about the lack of social consciousness and intellectual curiosity on the average university or college campus. Every man should learn to relate knowledge to experience and exper- ience to knowledge so that his every stimulus will open up a boundless field of correlated interests. Life ought not to be a common- place. And it need not be. Missionary I. F. Blue Appeals for India The object in Hindu worship is to keep the gods happy, declared Elder I. F. Blue, superintendent of the Northwest Indian Union mission, in his sermon at the College View S.D. A. church Sabbath August 5. India has been rightly called the "Gibraltar of heathenism," asserted Elder Blue, and although the country is only half the size of the United States the population is three times as great. Of India's 380 million peo- ple only five million are Christians, he said. Christian's Should Have Feeling of God's Power Too much analysis and criticism will make a living religious experi- ence meaningless, declared Dean H. K. Schilling in men's worship June 22. A Christian should have a growing certainty about God, a continually growing recognition of His presence with each one, a sense of His near- ness, he said. "It seems to me," he suggested, "that all that's good in the world, in life, comes from God." "We've so ridden the terms ser- vice and activity that sometimes we've crowded out worship, communion with God, which can come only in quiet and unhurried thinking of Him," stated the speaker. Elder H. W. Christian Brings Report of China The North China Union mission has a population which equals that of nearly five of the American union conferences combined, reported Elder H. W. Christian, secretary and treas- urer of the North China Union mis- sion, July 29 at the College View church. More than 141 Bibles cut up into single letters would be re- quired to give to each man, woman and child in China only one letter, he remarked, so great is the field. Elder Christian believes a person going to a foreign country should certainly learn the language of that country. The language school at Peking, he said, teaches the ladies words related to the culinary depart- ment, ministers the Gospel of John, and office workers expressions con- cerned with business operations. Hundreds of believers from the war zones went to other unions, Elder Christian stated, but were faithful. Wallace Nethery Reads to Record Audience . . . (Continued from page I) his success, rushed immediately from the store. The soap was never de- livered, because "to my wife" is a rather indefinite address. In a sketch of an Italian city worker, the immigrant, portrayed by Mr. Nethery, approached a florist inquiring the price of a "rosa." Unfavorably im- pressed by the Italian's appearance, the florist answered him rudely de- manding an explanation of why he wanted a rose. After hearing the story of the death of a wife and an only daughter Rosa, the florist's at- titude changed. He gave all the roses to be placed on Rosa's grave. Mr. Nethery read a group of poems: "The Owl and the Pussy Cat" by Edward Lear; Browning's record of bravery, "Incident of the French Camp"; and two of Lew Sarett's poems, "Dynamite" and "The Great Divide." A descriptive symphony of a lion. who starved to death beneath three "palalm" trees because the little gazelle heard his hungry roar and skipped away, was played on the piano by a pseudo-musician, who spoke broken English. Although the audience may have been affected differently, the musician was left breathless with the depth and the sadness of the . com- position. Mr. Nethery also read a parody of Arabella Eugenia Smith's poem "If I should Die To-night.- Dean Hickok, with Miss Kiehn- hoff at the piano, sang "I Heard a Forest Praying," "Sittin' Thinking" by Sanderson, and "A Dream" by Hawley. "None But the Lonely Heart" by Tchaikovsky and Toselli's "Serenade" were sung by Nellie Linscott-Jensen, accompanied at the piano by Miss Kiehnhoff. Preston Neff, accompanied by Jeanne Griffin at the piano, played on his trumpet "Stars Under a Vel- vety Sky" by Herbert Clark. Ernest Herr, Robert Nystrom, Paul Kemper, and Stanley Kannenberg sang two songs, "Friend of Mine" by Sanderson and "When Song is Sweet" by Sans Souci. Miss Kiehnhoff was at the piano. -Brunette and Blonde" by Rollinson was played as a trumpet duet by Genevieve 'McWilliams and Preston Neff. They were accompanied at the piano by Jeanne Griffin.

H. Yost To receive Christ as He is, one must know the Scriptures and know the power of God, according to Elder Frank H. Yost, speaking in the College View S. D. A. church Sabbath July 22. The church must overcome the Laodicean feeling that it is rich, increased with goods, and has need of nothing, he said, to have life eternal. The churches today will fail as did the Sadducees, Elder Yost added, in attempting the substitution of other things for Bible study and for the power of God. Marsh's Describe Summer of Research and Rest Mr. and Mrs. Frank Marsh report a pleasant, profitable, and peaceful summer. Mrs. Marsh is enjoying full time research at the University of Nebraska's Nutrition chemistry lab- oratory. In addition to teaching in the Union college summer school, Mr. Marsh has passed his comprehensive exam- inations for the Ph. D. degree and states he is making progress with his dissertation. The peaceful part, they insist, applies to cool evenings spent caring for their lawn and flowers. SNAP SHOT SHOP Your film developed and two prints each for 250 .

Dean H. K. Schilling and family spent a week camping in Estes Park, Colorado. Miss Ruby Lea, registrar, left July 13 for a month vacation, part of which she planned to spend with her sister Mrs. D. L. Wiltse, at Mon- damin, Iowa. Dr. G. C. Jorgensen, professor of chemistry, "will leave soon for some- where," he says, stating that prob- ably he will go to the mountains of Colorado since it's so far to the sea- shore. Elder J. W. Rowland, instructor in religion, said that his vacation would be spent quietly at home, getting some rest before another school year begins. Elder F. H. Yost returned last month from Washington, D. C., where he has been teaching in the Seventh- day Adventist Theological seminary in Takoma Park. He now spends most of his time at home and in li- braries pursuing special study in the field of church history. Miss Linnie Keith left August 6 for a three-weeks vacation in Calif- ornia.

Petrie Service Station STANDARD GAS AND OIL 48th & Calvert Illustrated Lecture Shows Customs in India Adventist School, Scenery, and Native Dress Featured An illustrated lecture on life and customs in India was presented by Elder I. F. Blue, for twenty-five years a missionary in India, in the College View S. D. A. church Saturday eve- ning, August 5. The pictures featured Adventist schools in India and Burma, includ- ing the Vincent Hill school for Eur- opeans at Mussoori. Many beauty spots in India, among which were the Taj Mahal, the viceregal lodge and the viceroy's gardens, and scenes at New Delhi and Lucknow, were also shown. India, only one-half the size of the United States and one-half desert, has a population of 380 million peo ple, of whom only five million are Christians, stated Elder Blue. There are seven major languages and nearly 200 vernacular dialects in use in India today, he said. Mrs. Blue, assisted by two other ladies, exhibited three Indian women's costumes, the burqa a white all en veloping garment which covers even the face, worn by Mohammedan women when in public; the sari, which differs in texture according to station but never in style, worn by the Indian women; and the colorful Camp Meeting 17-26 . .

Two snake skins were shown by Elder Blue: the smaller, of a cobra, a deadly poisonous reptile; and the larger, of a python, a non-poisonous snake which grows to immense size. The python kills its victims by crush- ing them, and a full-grown snake is capable of swallowing a man, Elder Blue declared.
