PRESIDENT E. E. COSSENTINE • "I go into my library, and all history rolls before me. I breath the morning air of the world while the scent of Eden's roses yet lingers in it. . . . I see the pyramids building; I hear the shoutings of the armies of Alexander. . . . I sit as in a theatre—the stage is time, the play is the play of the world." Alexander Smith "Of all the inanimate ob- jects, of all men's creations, books are nearest to us, for they contain our very thoughts, our ambitions, our indignations, our illu- sions, our fidelity to truth, and our persistent leaning toward error. But most of all they resemble us in their precarious hold on life." Joseph Conrad IT IS A PLEASURE TO STUDY IN THE AIR-CONDITIONED LIBRARY Titir rr VOL. XIX UNION COLLEGE, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 1943 NO. 2 President Extends Welcome To Students Explains The New Accelerated Program Unusual Opportunities Offered "New Days, New Ways" "New days, new ways"—decidedly! On the cam- pus this year Union College has marched along with our nation, meeting every new task, always looking toward tomorrow and keeping itself well prepared for every emergency and new educa- tional opportunity. To this end study has been given to the whole curriculum. New courses are being added and old courses that no longer meet the situation are being dropped and then the whole college program has been streamlined and acceler- ated to meet today's needs. A student can now finish four years' work in three. You may enter now with fourteen high school units. Again Union College is ready to adjust itself to the changes which are taking place in the world about us. College is not only a preparation for life but life itself. You will find an individualized program here to fit your needs to build a successful life. You will have a chance to participate in your own education. You will find work here correlated to life itself. There are many advantages to a Union College education. There are many reasons why a young person should choose Union in preference to other colleges. That is as it should be and we believe every Adventist youth will find here that which he or she needs to build a complete life. Union College is definitely Christian. Character stems from religion and in the stormy period which lies ahead we have need of leaders who are guided by their religious thinking. Any young person desiring a liberal arts edu- cation or preparing for some vocation, will find ample facilities and opportunities for such an edu- cation at Union College. Welcome To You! Union College has welcomed over two hundred young people in the summer school program, the largest summer session in the history of the college, and now we look forward to welcoming that large group of keen, ambitious youth who are looking forward to building for the future, the progressive youth who are eager to measure up to the tasks and be ready for responsibilities of tomorrow. Union College is rich in religious, educational and cultural resources. Here, men and women es- tablish the verities of their lives. When stress is great and hysteria haunts the highway, many are tempted to try to do something valiant and spectacular. Let us possess enough good sense to resist such temptations and go forward with our education, building lines to make a better future. Education is not over just because T. N. T. is exploding. Ambition is not dead just because we must make adjustments in our personal plans so that we may meet new situations. Here we are and here we shall remain, studying so that we may increase efficiency, studying so that we may profit from a knowledge of past events, and studying so that we may be ready to take our place in the future world. We are here with work to do, faith to keep, and a desire to be worthy of the opportunity that is ours. Come and join us. We welcome you to Union College—the College that prepares for life. ENGLISH To BE SELECTED The English department intends to pro- vide to the student: information and spirit for cultural enjoyment and profit in the field of literary art and history; scholarship in the fields of literature and composition adequate to teaching on the secondary level; and undergraduate achievement for graduate study in English. HISTORY E. N. DICK, PH.D. The history department aims to open to the students the great wealth of the ages in all fields. The contribution of the mil- lions who have lived, thought, and failed or accomplshed in the past come to us through the medium of history to teach us lessons and to enrich our lives culturally. 2 CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 3, 1943 E. N. DICK, PH.D. The wise student selects a college whose requirements are stiff. Such requirements take the measure of a student and one having completed work of a high quality goes into life not only better equipped but with a college degree of reputation. For half a century Union College has endeavored to fill the re- quirements for high scholastic standards. Thousands who have attended "Union" look with pride to their Alma Mater and the standards for which she stands. Graduation from college should mean more than a mere residence on a campus for four years. A college is measured by the quality of the work done by faculty and students. As Union opens her door for the fifty-third time she welcomes you to hard work, to growth and to accomplishments at the "College of the Golden Cords." SCHOLASTIC STANDARDS DEAN E. N. DICK Department Heads F. L. MARSH PH.D. BIOLOGY The lines of study offered by the department of Biology were selected not only to furnish the required standard biological courses for pre-professional stu- dents but also to give the gen- eral college student an oppor- tunity to add to the resources of his life by becoming better acquainted with plants and ani- mals. • L. WILCOX-JARNES, R.N., B.A. HEALTH . The need for missionary nurses is urgent. Peculiar to the denominational nursing curri- culum is Bible study and ern phasis on treatment of disease by natural means. While this additional work makes a pre- nursing year in college neces- sary, only Adventist nursing schools give the vision, conse- cration, or experience necessary for Christian workers. R. W. WOODS, PH.D. ABSENT ON LEAVE 1943-44 PHYSICS This department proposes to acquaint liberal arts students with physics as a typical science; its meaning and scope, its theoretical and experimental methods and achievements, its philosophy and history, its con- tribution to civilization, its re- lation to other fields such as the arts, literature, religion—as well as to the other sciences. R. W. FOWLER, M.S. BUSINESS The department of business and secretarial science at Union College aims to prepare young men and women to occupy positions in the offices of our institutions and teaching posi- tions in our academies. The de- partment offers a major or minor in business and a second minor • in secretarial science. A two-year secretarial course is also given, designed to prepare those who take it for secretari- al positions. MAY STANLEY, M.A. HOME ECONOMICS The aims of the home eco- nomics department are: to im- part cultural education, to raise the ideals of homemaking; to give the students an insight into the social and economic position of the modern home; to impart to them scientific and technical knowledge; to pre- pare young women for the successful management of a home, and to furnish them with sufficient practice to fit them to become responsible home- makers, teachers of home eco- nomics, or workers in any field where this knowledge is needed. C. G. JORGENSEN, PH.D. CHEMISTRY It is the aim of the various courses in chemistry to provide the student with a practical and cultural knowledge of this field of science, and with an understanding and appreciation of its place in the world of today. It is planned to provide effectively for the needs and interests of students preparing for professional work in medi- cine, dentistry, dietetics, nurs- ing, clinical and commercial laboratories, for science teach- ing, and for graduate work in chemistry. H. G. REINMUTH, PH.D. LANGUAGE The study of languages in- stills a certain amount of gener- osity and charity towards those of other nationalities in that it affords an opportunity of in- sight into the thought of other nations. It broadens one's out- look on the world. It makes one's sympathies more compre- hensive and universal, and thus educates for wider service. E. M. CADWA LLADER, M.A. ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Education is the civilizer of man and Christian education has as an additional aim, man's redemption. The school is by many considered to be earth's most important institution. Teaching is the paramount pro- fession. Elementary teachers wield the primary influence in determining the worth of the individual, the state of society, and man's future existence. E. B. OGDEN, PH.D. MATHEMATICS The mathematics courses at Union College intend to pre- pare students for further study in science and medicine, teach- ers in secondary and elementary fields and selected persons as qualified mathematicians. I t also plans to give to the general liberal arts student the impor- tant basic facts and training in the method and content of mathematical technique. A. D. HOLMES, M.S. SECONDARY EDUCATION Learning by doing is con- sidered excellent procedure. Union College offers to those interested in teaching in the secondary field, opportunity first to study the principles of teaching and the best methods of procedure; and then actually to teach in a regularly, ap- pointed academy, the Union College Academy. The student taking such a training thus finds himself, continuing in his first school, the work begun at college. H. A. MILLER, M.A. IN MUSIC MUSIC Music is not the right arm of the message; buk it is the thumb of the hand that locks the powers of the other fingers in one co-ordinated effort. Union's music department places as its first objective the balanced training of young people who can give service that will honor the message. I. F. BLUE. PH .D. RELIGION The objectives of this de- partment are twofold: first, to teach all students to discover the real meaning of religion and a proper appreciation of the Bible as a textbook in practical Christian living; secondly, to give a basic training to pros- pective ministers, Bible work- ers, and• teachers of religion. J. T. DEVICE FURNITURE FACTORY Mr. J. T. DeVice, for the past three years sales manager for the Union College furniture factory, has now become super- intendent of this same school industry. He and his son, Mr. R. J. DeVice, began the first factory in North American Seventh-day Adventist schools that manufactured a complete line of unfinished furniture. This was first done at Auburn Academy, Auburn, Washington. Future Missionaries Train For Service LOWELL A. MONTGOMERY LAUNDRY Mr. Lowell A. Montgomery comes to Union after heading the laundry at the Orthopedic Hospital, Lincoln, Nebraska, for two years. Before that time, he worked in St. Louis, Mis- souri and also Madison College in Tennessee. Mr. Montgomery will take some studies towards completion of his bachelor of arts degree at Union. 46. LILLIE G. BLUE Instructor in Foreign Language Union College, the "College of the Golden Cords," has sent over 500 students and graduates as missionaries to foreign countries in all the continents of the globe and to many islands. In order to foster for- eign mission service, Union College is now teaching Russian and Urdu. Urdu is the leading language of India. G. II. STRAIGHT BINDERY Mr. G. H. Straight is already in t r o d u c big innovations in styles of binding and other im- provements in the bindery rou- tine. For many years he has been connected with Seventh- day Adventist educational insti- tutions in different capacities, among these being principal and business manager duties. Russian Students Urdu Students CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 3, 1943 3 REGISTRATION PROCEDURE RUBY E. One of the inescapable "procedures" through which the student must go after he reaches the campus is registration for his course program. This is not such a difficult experience for the young person who has given some thought previously to his purpose in attending college and to what he must do to fulfill that purpose. True, he must see the business manager and the registrar; he must LEA, Registrar stop at one office to have his choice of courses approved by a member of the registration staff, and at another for assignment of chapel seat; and so on through the seemingly endless round until he finally emerges at a desk bearing the placard, "Leave your registration books here. This completes registration," and is ready to begin the real task for which he came to Union College. RUBY E. LEA, B.A. New Staff Members NO CUT AVAILABLE WINTON BEAVEN, M.A. SPEECH Mr. Winton Beaven becomes instructor of speech at Union College. Mr. Beaven graduated at Atlantic Union College, South Lancaster, Massachu- setts, received his M. A. from Clark University, Massachu- setts, and is now doing gradu- ate work at Michigan Univer- sity, Ann Arbor. At Atlantic Union College, Mr. Beaven was dean of men in addition to his duties as instructor of speech. LESSIE L. CULPEPPER, M.A. ENGLISH Miss Lessie Lee Culpepper, '29, returns to her Alma Mater as a teacher. Miss Culpepper holds a master of arts degree from the University of Ne- braska and is working on her doctor's degree at Michigan University, Ann Arbor, Michi- gan. The civil war in Spain in- terrupted her two years' studies at the University of Madrid. HAROLD FUJII, M.A. BIOLOGY LABORATORY Mr. Ifarold Fujii assumes his duties as graduate assistant in biology upon his return from Washington state. He is a graduate of Walla Walla College, College Place, Wash- ington. During the past year he completed the studies for ob- taining his master of arts degree from the University of Ne- braska. LILLIAN LARSEN, M.A. SECONDARY TRAINING Miss Lillian Larsen will ar- rive at Union immediately to begin her work as instructor and critic teacher in secondary training. She is a graduate of Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Michigan; her master of arts degree was ob- tained at the University of Wis- consin. For several years Miss Larsen has taught at both the Battle Creek and Greater New York academies. The 1943 Summer School I. F. BLUE Director of Summer Session The Union College summer school opened May 31. The session was arranged in two parts for the benefit of the church school teachers who could not remain the full twelve weeks. Most of the education courses were offered the first nine weeks, closing on July 28. Several complete courses are offered for the last three weeks, ending August 18. The maximum credit for the summer was 12 hours. Some courses like chemis- try and Greek II extended over the 12 weeks. On the whole these arrangements met the needs of the entire group. Fifty-three courses ( aside from applied music) were offered during the summer and all but two of these were taught. Some classes were necessarily small, but generally the teaching load was fairly well distributed. The total enrollment was 208. Of these, 21 were in the academic grades. The church-school teachers numbered 67; the Central Union Conference sent 29 teachers, the Southwestern Union 19, the Northern Union 18, and the Southern Union 1. High standards of scholarship and spirituality that characterize Union College have been maintained and it has been a privilege to associate together as students and teachers for these few weeks. Grants-in-aid Given Yearly To 10 Deserving Students Ten grants-in-aid, each of $50.00 value, are given to Union College students every year. These are con- ceded on the basis of the student's past scholarship and present need. Qualifications for these grants-in- aid include ranking in the upper ten per cent of their classes, maintenance of at least a B average in class- work taken and possession of a good citizenship record. All prospective students for the 1943-44 school term should send their requests for grants-in-aid to Dean E. N. Dick not later than August 18. These must be accompanied by applications for admis- sion to Union College, transcripts of grades and ref- erences of scholarship and general citizenship. • 4 CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 3, 1943 News of Students Ardis Aalborg—working as office nurse for her uncle, Dr. Frank Lopp, in College View.

REES 6 CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 3, 1943 NORTH HALL Women's Home Dean of Women Describes Club Activities Many and varied are the interests that enter into the life of the North Hall young women, not the least of which are the clubs that have become an integral part of the North Hall program for many a year. It was in the early twenties that the club known as Kappa Theta was organ- ized. Its motto, "Seekers after the key of knowledge," and its objects to fos Lei friendliness and sociability, to give the young women experience in public speaking, to acquaint them with parlia- mentary procedure, to keep them in- formed on current events, and to pro- vide wholesome entertainment, explain the reason for the club's existence. Kappa Theta meets once each week and its membership includes all the girls who reside in North Hall. In the fall of '35 the "King's Daughters' League" was organized, consisting of upper division students only. The object of this organization is to maintain the standards of the College and to broaden the lives of the young women spiritually and culturally. Their pledge: "I hereby pledge myself to live up to the aims and purposes of the 'King's Daughters' League,' holding high the standards, doing what I can for my college sisters, and looking to Christ my example." Later a branch of this league was formed by the lower division girls. These clubs have done much to create a spirit of cooperation, loyalty, honor and culture among the young women of the College. A most cordial welcome is extended to others to join us and enjoy the excellent privileges and opportuni- ties that Union College offers. • Music Ennobles The Soul Music brings to the souls of both the actors and the listeners the contact with refining influences that inspire mankind to seek the beautiful and the worthwhile in a world torn by war. At Union College students may choose from many musical organizations for this type of culture; some of these groups are, the choruses, or- chestra, band, glee clubs, pep bands, and individual classes. THE MIXED CHORUS A P. C. JARNES CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 3, 1943 7 SOUTH HALL Men's Home Dean of Men Describes Religious Life One of the most permanent contribu- tions of dormitory life at Union College concerns the development of the spirit- ual man. The daily association with Christian youth; the regular morning and evening worships which train in habits of spiritual growth while helping supply its daily need; the weekly prayer bands that foster a sense of unity and interest in the welfare of others; the emphasis placed on Sabbath reverence, —all mold attitudes that cannot be easily forgotten later in life. Whether con- fronted with army discipline or the usual temptations common to daily living, these religious concepts are present to support and guide. The importance of this to Seventh- day Adventist young people cannot be overemphasized, for today they are called upon to face unprecedented times. The world has popularized a religion that is permeated with skepticism, doubt, and faithlessness. Formalism has more and more been substituted for genuine spirituality. Against this insiduous flood of evil the standard of the denomination to "keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus," must be held high. For this reason training in the daily living of Christian principles is made a primary objective of the dormitory in the weekly cycle of planned activities. South Hall welcomes her young men to share in and to contribute to a strong program for the coming year. Former Unionites Are Serving Their Country Herbert Alexander, Donald Altman, Edward A.

HEALTHFUL RECREATION IS PROVIDED IN THE AUDITORIUM-GYMNASIUM ON LOVE INDUSTRIAL •UILDING 8 CLOCK TOWER, AUGUST 3, 1943 Union College Is A Growing Institution H. C. HARTMAN, Business Manager Union College has indeed been a growing institu- tion in every phase of its work. May we point to some of the material growth in recent years that has greatly increased the efficiency of the college in carrying on its work. In 1937-38 our new fire-proof library building, the pride of our campus, was built. The construction is concrete and brick with a tile roof. The floors are battleship and tiltex linoleum and the hall floors are terazzo. The cubical content of the building is 162,- 000 cubic feet. The total book capacity of the building, when completely stacked, is 60,000 volumes. At present we have 35,000. Because of the great need on the part of our stu- dents to work to help defray their expenses while attending college, the late Don L. Love, former mayor of Lincoln, gave $15,000.00 which made possible the building that bears his name. It was erected in 1939- 40, with floor space of 16,200 square feet. It houses the College Furniture Manufacturers and the Lincoln Broom works. Opportunities are provided for about seventy-five students to work in these industries. H. C. HARTMAN, Business Manager In both dormitories improvements have been made from year to year. New floors have been laid in North Hall and the worship room has been remodeled. On the second floor of the administration building the equivalent of three regular size class rooms have been remodeled to provide offices for the registrar, presi- dent, business manager, and dean. In our print shop a Kelly automatic press, Baum folder and linotype machine have been added. The bookbindery has had an addition the size of which is 32x40. The farm has had a new barn added, which is 40x64. Also, a pasteurizing plant and milking ma- chine have been installed. For all these new buildings and improvements, we want to take opportunity to thank the General Con- ference, unions, and the conferences within Union College territory, and also the loyal members of the alumni, teachers, and students for the financial help contributed. We also wish to thank Mr. W. E. Barkley and our many Lincoln business friends for their gener- ous gifts which made especially the library and audi- torium-recreation building possible. For the future, our board has additional plans for continued growth. Already a much needed science building is being planned. Also, some other needs are being given study. This summer, our chapel and a number of class rooms are being redecorated and also some class rooms are being refloored. The second and third floor halls of the administration building are receiving a new coat of paint. In North Hall, the second floor is being refloored with oak flooring. The entrance hall, the parlors, and a goodly number of student rooms are being redecorated. In South Hall a large number of student rooms are being repapered and some new furniture is being added. Union College extends to the young people of college age a most hearty invitation to join us Septem- ber 13-15 for the opening of a new school year.
