THE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GETS UNDER WAY To Friends and Supporters of Pacific Lutheran College: What should you do with this number of the BULLETIN? First, read it yourself. 1'hen, unless you want to keep it permanently in your files, give it to someone else to read and to pass on to another. If possible, keep it circulating until it has won at least one new friend for the cause. We have set as a goal 10,000 contributing supporters of Pacific Lutheran College. Shall we succeed? God willing, we shall. Our Problem America was settled by wave after wave of God-fearing people from Europe. These people established Christian schools to train Christian leaders. American civilization is accordingly in some sense a Christian civilizaton. Educatonally speaking, the friends and supporters of Pacific Lutheran College are "pioneering on the last frontier" in America. To establish and maintain Pacific Lutheran College as an institution that will help to keep America Christian, especially by means of the Lutheran Church which fostered this college, is our problem. Our Plan Pacific Lutheran Coflege can survive, grow, and serve only to the extent to which it enjoys the confidence and the intelligent support of the people whom it undertakes to serve. Our plan is, therefore, to keep as closely in touch with the people as possible, t mobilize and to organize them for intelligent, effective, and harmonious action, and, for this purpose, to keep as many as possible enrolled as members of the Pacific Lutheran College Development Association, membership in which is secured and maintained by the payment of "at least a dollar at least once a year" to Pacific Lutheran College. Our Progress Since the publication of the August BULLETIN, in which our plan was first made public, field man Elvestrom and the president of the College have traveled ex足 tensively in Washington, Oregon, and California in the interest of the Development Association. Addresses have been made to uniformly sympathetic groups at many places, including conventions at Pasadena, California, Silverton, Oregon, and Tacoma, Seattle, and Everett, Washington. Campaigns for membership have been undertaken at Parkland, at Kent, and in Mountain View Congregation, near Puyallup, Washing足 ton. Plans have been laid for congregational rallies in Oregon and Washington in December, in nearly all the California congregations in January and in Washington in February and the succeeding months. 1.
Some Forward Steps The new chemistry laboratory has been fitted out at a cost of
$2,500.
2. 3. 4. 5.
The library has been improved and expanded at a cost of $1,000. Dressing rooms and toil t facilities have been provided in the gymnasium. Forty automatic fire extinguishers hllve een installed. The P. L. A. class of 1900 has promised to finance a campus survey at a cost
of �300. 6. New office equ ipment has been added in three offices at a cost of about $300. 7. An orchestra of sixte n pi ce.s has been organized. 8. The P. L. C. Choir has been invited to sing at the International Convention of the Young People's Luther League at Duluth, Minn., June 1-5, 1929. 9. Thirteen thousand dollars of endowmen t funds have been invested in Class A bond by the newly appointed investment committee, consisting of H. E. Anderson, August Buschmann. Forbes Haskell, A. L. Leknes, and O. A. Tingelstad. 10. A financial policy has be n formulated in ha rm ony with the auditor's sugges tions, adopted by the board of trustees, and put into operation by the administration. Endowment fund income will retire our indebtedness, and the Development Association will provide for current expenses and growth. Hopes and Prospects Ten thousand contributing members of the Pacific Lutheran College De velopment Association. We not only believe that this goal can be reached, but that we simply MUST reach it. Three parishes ( Park land, Mountain View, Kent) have yielded 300 members; 100 parishes should yield 10,000. 2. Increased endowment funds. The minimum should be $500,000. This goal must be reach d if it is decided to expend into a four.year college. We no have en dowment ple.dgcs totalling $290,000, one-third collected, and we have a four-year high school department and a two-year junior college division, including a two-year state· accredited n rmal department. 3. A complete topographical survey of the campus with plans for expansion through twenty-five years, to be submitted by a competent architect. This will be con sidered at the next board meeting. 4. An enrollment large enough to compel the erection of a dormitory for girls. The pre ent enrollment is 150. The building could pay for itself on the Minnesota pian. 5. A library building costing $125,000 within the next three years.

Encourag ing Items 1. The California Lutheran Hospital, Los Angeles, was inspected by our presi dent and by our field man in October through the courtesy of Mr. Knute B. Norswing. Wonderfully equipped, efficiently planned and managed, this institution is an inspiring example of what may be accomplished through intelligent cooperative effort. 2. Five coellge executives have joined our Developmnt Association: Dr. L. \'II. Boe, Dr. ]. N. Brown, Rev. Carl L. Foss, Dr. O. M. Norlie, Dr. Oscar L. Olson. Says Norlie: "I belong to fifty enterprises now. One more won't break my back. I promise five dollars a year for five years, and to show my promise is good enclose my check for �25." 3. God's chastened poor pray for our school, and the widow's mite has blessed us more than once.
