College Reorganizes 
Curriculum 
Technological Training 
Introduced 
To meet the growing demand 
for technical and medical tech-I 
nological training by Seventh-! 
day Adventist young people all 
over the country, Madison Col-
lege has reorganized its curri-
culum by introducing several 
technical 
courses, 
dropping 
most of its degree courses in 
the humanities and liberal arts, 
and making Nursing a three-
year diploma course instead of 
the four-year B. S. course that 
it has been formerly. The col-
lege offers degrees in Medical 
Technology 
and 
Elementary 
Education with minors in such 
fields as English, Religion, Busi-
ness, Science, and Secretarial 
training. 
Although at present the new 
technical courses are diploma 
or certificate courses, it is hoped 
that in the very near future 
they will become major degree 
courses, thus making Madison 
College a college specializing in 
the industrial. as well as in the 
medical arts. 
The college decided to alter 
its program on advice from the 
Education Department of the 
Mrs. M. Bessie De Graw-Sutherland 
General Conference, the Depart. -----------'--------------
ment of Education of the South. 
ern Union, and the administra-
tion of Southern Missionary 
College. 
The immediate effect of the 
re-organization has been a de-
crease in the enrollment, but 
when 
the 
college 
becomes 
better known for its emphasis 
on medical and technical train-
ing, it is expected that the en-
rollment will remedy itself.

Students Honor Mrs. Sutherland Original 
Founder of Madison 
On the occasion of this fifty-second Convention of Southern 
Self-supporting Workers, the students of Madison College would 
like to express their love, respect, and appreciation to Mrs. 
M. Bessie De Graw-Sutherland. 
Mrs. Sutherland, now 91 years old, is the only one of the 
original founders of this institution still living. 
During the course of Madison's history she has been a master 
teacher, a talented administrator, a wise and far-sighted coun-
sellor, and a devoted worker in whatever line she was needed. 
She has ever been anxious to follow only God's plan for the 
education of young people so that they might be fully trained 
spiritually, mentally, and physically. 
The then Miss DeGraw, one of the few professionally trained 
teachers in the denomination at that time, taught at Walla Walla

and Emmanuel Missionary Col-

also joined the faculty there.

Living Endowment 
Favored by 
Alumni 
Wide alumni approval at last 
Saturday night's twenty-ninth 
alumni meeting greeted Presi· 
dent Ralph Davidson's sugges-
tion of raising a· "living endow-
ment" for Madison College. A 
"living endowment" is the ac 
tive financial· support· of a col· 
lege by the alumni. 
. By adopting this method oi 
raising necessary funds Madi· 
son College will be joining sis 
ter Seventh-day Adventist and 
other colleges all over the na· 
tion in a modern, active way oi 
assisting one's alma mater. 
President Davidson said that 
every single Madison College 
alumnus he talked to at the 
General 
Conference 
in 
San 
Francisco 
was 
enthusiastic 
about contributing to the liv-
ing endowment. 
He also reported that Madi· 
son College will receive an an-
nual appropriation of about 
$30,000 from the General Con 
ference, the Southern Union, 
and the local conference. Thi~ 
amount is for the technical de-
partments of the oollege. 
Major actions taken by the 
alumni called for the establish-
ment of an annual homecoming 
and the election of officers. 
Homecoming we e k e n d this 
school year will be the first 
weekend in May, 1963.

Appalachian Studies 
Administrator Is 
Guest Speaker 
An honored guest and speaker 
at the convention last week was 
Dr. W. D. Weatherford. He is 
director of administration of 
the group of 19 researchers 
who took part in the Southern 
Appalachian 
S t u d i e s 
that 
reached out into 190 mountain 
counties of Alabama, Georgia, 
Tennessee, 
Kentucky, 
North 
Carolina, West Virginia, and 
Virginia. He is also chairman 
of the Board of Directors and 
co-author of some of the publi-
cations that have resulted from 
the studies. 
Since the college and the 
Seventh-day Adventist Church 
have had a strong influence 
socially, culturally, and eco-
nomically on the mountain peo-
ple of the Appalachians, it was 
of interest to the delegates at-
tending 
the 
Self-supporting 
Workers' Convention to under-
stand 
the 
benefits 
of 
this 
study so that they might real-
ize what needs there are to fill 
and how these needs can best 
be filled. 
50 Years in Appalachia 
For about 50 years Seventh-
day Adventists have played a 
prominent part in this mountain 
area both because of the edu-
cational and medical institu-
tions that they have been con-
ducting and because Madison 
College has sent many teachers

Se!f -Supporting 
Workers 
An awareness of the problems 
that face them in the South-
ern Appalachian area, a con· 
;ciousness of the need for 
thorough 
preparation · in 
all 
lines of endeavor, the place and 
necessity of agriculure in God's 
work-and thoroughly trained 
1griculturists, a deeper dedi-
::ation annd consecration to the 
Saviour,-these were some of 
the good things shared by the 
guests, students, and faculty 
during the fifty-second Annual 
Convention of Southern Self-
Supporting Workers held on 
the campus from October 12 
to October 15. 
Over 65 out-of-town guests 
registered. The convention is 
sponsored by the Laymen's Ex-
tension League. Leland Straw, 
former Music Department head 
at the college, and now prin-
cipal of Little Crek School, is 
the president. 
Frank Judson, of the Class of 
1938, dealt with agricultural 
problems at the 9:00 o'clock 
session on Friday morning, 
and 
Saturday 
evening 
he 
showed a film on edible plants 
of field and forest and on the 
agricultural work at La Sierra 
College, where he heads the 
Agricultural Department.

Communications 
Seminar Open to All 
The Communication Seminar, 
a new non-credit class, is being 
taught by Elder W. H. Grotheer, 
head of the Bible Department, 
each Friday evening at six 
o'clock. 
The objective of this seminar 
is to teach the individual how 
to give Bible studies and how 
to project a thought to his 
audience. 
' 
It will be a great asset to the 
students of the campus who 
wish to better prepare them· 
selves to reach others with 
God's message for this hour.

Guest Editorial 
As Seventh-day Adventist young people, we have a 
sure guide to our heavenly home-the Word of God. We 
have no need to concern ourselves with the thought of 
getting lost on our way to heaven. God's Word will guide 
us safely through the ~ost stormy and dark paths. 
Just what is this Word?

REPLY TO LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 
It was because the gas boiler burned out several months 
ago that we had to contend with the soot output from 
Central Heat. 
The boiler is now fixed and is being used. And, until 
the weather turns cold, there will be no more soot. 
During the winter, however, Central Heat reports they 
must switch back to coal because it puts out much more 
heat than the gas does. 
The possibilities of getting a filter for the smoke stack 
are few because of the· cost involved.

Pen League was begun in

From Your ASMC President 
by David Martin 
Just as a ship needs a com-
pass, the student association 
needs direction in the course 
it will sail. And just as a voyage 
must have a destination, so the 
student government on our 
campus must have certain goals 
to reach this year. 
The direction we will take 
is the direction that leads to a 
better student association and 
a better college. The students 
are a vital part of the college, 
and the student association rep-
resents the students of the col-
lege. Hence, if we the students 
work toward making a better 
student organization, we will in 
turn make Madison College a 
better college. 
Three Goals 
The ASMC has three goals to 
work toward this school year. 
The first and major goal is to 
train leaders. The best way to 
train leaders is to give students 
opportunities to work in leader-
ship positions. In this instance 
the best way to learn is by 
doing. 
Many organizations on our 
campus such as the curriculum 
clubs, student-teacher council, 
and the three forums, give 
practical experience in leader-
ship; but you do not need to 
hold a major office in an organi. 
zation to exercise leadership. 
Simply by choosing good lead-
ers and by making good de-
cisions as a student body each 
one of you practices group 
leadership, and this is the basic 
principle of a democratic so-
ciety. This practice, therefore, 
not only makes .good members 
in our association but good citi-
zens for our nation. 
Activities 
Activities of the ASMC such 
as recreation, programs, and 
projects, provide not only fun 
and social enjoyment to your 
college life, but they also pro-
vide valuable practice in leader. 
ship principles. 
Each social 
event 
requires 
organization 
and careful planning; by taking 
part in these activities ffi<!DY 
students receive training that is 
valuable to them in later years. 
The 
recreational 
activities.

THREE-HOUR CLASSES 
.. WAY BACK WHEN-" 
Fifty-minute classes too long? 
Former Nutrition Head, Dr. 
Frances L. Dittes, who came to 
Madison in 1910, says that in 
the early days of the institution 
the students took only one class 
for three hours each day for 
a whole quarter, but they stu-
died and examined every angle 
of the subject thoroughly. 
She said that when she was 
taking Bible, the studies and 
discussions under those early 
master teachers such as Dr. E. 
A. 
Sutherland, or Miss 
M. 
Bessie De Graw, or Floyd Bral-
liar, led to a penetrating study 
of the history involved, to ample 
practice and study in the prin-
ciples of rhetoric or language 
structure, to a study of the 
literary composition of the ma-
terial indicated, and into any 
other field of related study. 
"It was thorough study," she 
saysl "and a real privilege to 
sit in the classes of some of 
the greatest teachers this de-
nomination, and the world; has 
produced." 
specially invited, help bridge 
the gap between the faculty and 
students. Bridging this gap is 
another important function of 
the student government. Dur-
ing these occasions the students 
learn to know the faculty out-
side the classroom. When the 
ties are taken off and the books 
are put away, the students dis. 
cover how fine it is to meet 
their teachers in a social way. 
The third main goal this year 
is to strengthen school spirit. 
Success in this goal depends 
definitely on the success of the 
first two goals. 
As you, the 
students of our college, partici-
pate in the many activities in-
volving leadership and learn to 
trust and respect the faculty, 
a· spirit of pulling together, 
esprit de corps, develops, and 
this is the underlying principle 
of school spirit. 
' 
Teamwork 
Without this spirit of pulling 
together-teamwork, we cannot 
accomplish much this year. Cer. 
tainly there will be differences 
of opinion, but in the basic 
principles we must be united. 
How much would a baseball 
team accomplish if the mem-
bers did not have this team 
spirit? · What if the third base-
man refused to throw the ball 
to first base because he did not 
like the man playing first base? 
What kind of team would 
harshly criticize and make fun 
of one of its members when 
he made a mistake? So it is in 
the student association; we as 
members should work for the 
encouragement and uplifting of 
our fellow members. There is 
no better way than this to build 
school spirit. 
Now we are launching the 
3hip of student government for 
another school year. The jour-
ney will be long and many 
times difficult. Whether or not 
we reach the destination safely u 
depends on each member and 
how he does his part. The 
officers of your association have 
the utmoot confidence in you 
and in your doing your part, 
and because of this confidence, 
we know that this school year, 
'62-'63 will be the best year yet 
at Madison College. 
lVleditation Program 
At the end of a busy week 
many of the students were 
found in the quietness of the 
chapel on September 28 for an 
hour of meditation and relax-
ation. 
Terry Troy, who is in cha11ge 
of this hour, says that every 
other Friday evening from six 
to seven o'clock has been set 
aside for this purpose. 
The beautiful candelight serv-
ice consisted of the reading 
"On the Cross of Cavalry," 
organ music, and two vocal 
solos. 
Terry would like to welcome 
all campus and village students 
to make this their hour of medi. 
tation.

cation as outlined in the book ------:--------
Education by Ellen G. White. 
White. 
1. God is the sonrce of true 
education. His principles are 
found in the Bible. 
2. Love is the basis of real 
education. It should be the 
motivating factor. 
3. Education should be har-
monious, and the physical, men-
tal, and spiritual powers are. to 
be equally developed. A stu-
dent who does only sedentary 
work, or who is not actively en-
gaged in missionary endeavors, 
is not on a balanced program. 
Frank Judson, Class of 1938 
"I have high hopes that dur-
ing this quarter the Sabbath 
School will help the spiritual 
life of the students in a de-
cided way," says Mrs. L. A. 
Watson, .general superintendent 
of the Sabbath School of the 
Madison College Church. She 
also says that she is looking 
forward to excellent student 
leadership and co-operation in 
all the Sabbath School activities. 
Dwight Wilson is head super-
intendent. Under him are three 
~tudent superintendents: Mrs. 
Betty B.all, Henry Scoggins, and 
Lorraine Fields. They alternate· 
as leaders of the Sabbath School 
exercises. 
4. Service is the goal. When 
an individual is motivated to 
serve for nothing in return, his 
character is developed. On the 
other hand, if right actions are 
prompted by wrong motives, --"--------:-:------

secretary; her associates are

Hubbard, and

ants are Claudia Kunau and 
Emily Titsworth. 
one's character will be weak· 
ened. 
5. Education should be con-
tinuous and unlimited. The goal 
for each individual is the maxi-
mum development of all his 
powers during his entire life. 
6. The method of true educa-
tion is by direct communion. 
It was thus that God taught in 
the Eden school.

innocent little centipede.

while the door of the ark was 
closed by God: It was a quiet 
group of girls that left the wor-
ship room that evening, as each 
one asked herself, "Am I ready 
for the modern deluge, or have 
I, too, closed my heart to God?" 
The best way to prove that 
a stick is crooked is not to 
argue about it, or spend your 
time denouncing it, but to lay 
a straight stick alcmgside of it.

arid medical and other trained 
personnel to the area. 
In dealing with the problems 
of Southern Appalachia, Dr. 
Weatherford said that educa-
tion is one of the greatest prob. 
lems of the area. "The educa-
cational standards," he said, 
"averages a mere 7.2 years of 
formal education. 
The definite aims of the study 
were to discover what changes 
had taken place during the last 
25 years, to observe the effects 
of heavy migration from the 
mountains on the spirit o£ the 
people, to learn what specific 
contribution 
social, 
religious, 
and educational agencies might 
make to the needs of the peo-
ple, and to study the place of 
the church upon the lives of the 
people and ways to guarantee 
its further contributions to the 
mountain community.

The group of researchers felt 
that church leaders, educatorsf 
and health and social agencies 
would be able to plan construe. 
tively for their work only if 
they had complete data on cur-
rent religious, educational, so-
cial, and economic conditions. 
Backed financially for the 
greatest 
part by the Ford 
Foundation, the Southern Appa-
lachian Studies research group 
was sponsored by 15 religious 
ienominations assisted by Berea 
College, by the Council of

by various interested individ-
uals. 
Three books resulting 
from the studies have been pub-
