"THESE ARE TIMES THAT TRY MEN'S SOULS" War "plirs Christians to daily repent ance , to humility, and to greater efforts for God and country. "[n God we trust." It is in this spirit that ,,-,, gratpf ull , report progress as indicated below. 1. Contrary to our expe tations , th stud nt enrollment at Pacific Lutheran Colleg . for the sixteenth successive year, sho, s an increase, despite the unavoidable falling ff in the ' econd semester. Last year 's total was 523; this year's, to date, i, 535.
�. On 'February 3, 1 942, the Executive Committee of the Boar d of Trustees y"ted. "because of the demands of the war emergency," to reco m mend "that the Board of Trustees grant the B. A. d egree in Liberal Arts in the spring of 1942." .·\pproved as a fonr·year College of Education in 1940, Pacific Lutheran College "ill, when this recommendation is ado pted by the Board of Tn"tec.-. also become a four·year College of Liberal Arts.
3. The Coll ege will revise and expand its Summer Sef'sion offerings in ouch a way as to effectu te it. p romise to high school graduates: "If YOLl �nro J] now and ea.n continue college without interruption, it is possible to earn you r B. A. degree in thTco years (and possibly less) by attendina the regular sessions and 'ummer � ssions." The C ollege is also in position to expand its offerings in the IIigh School i\'iBioD to offset withdra, als in the upper years of college, if war·time needs make ueh . hift f em phasis necessary or desirable. 4. Because oj war·time need, the ollege for the first time in years is soliciting the renewed or continued su pport of all who have ever given a dollar or more to the Development Association, in harmony with the published a ppea l of the Director of Education of our Church: "No sacrifices that Christians. members of onr Church. can make offer a promise of more lasting blessings than the sacrifices made in the intcrc t of our Christian colleges. It is through thes institution" that we as a �hllrch in the present crisis may expect to make our greatest ontribution tu the ·tdvan ement of God's Kingdom , to the support of OUT country's war effort, to the establishment of a perrrument peace, to the rebuilding of a world·wide Ch ri st ian civili'lllt ion, bringing freedom and happiness to all." 5. Payments on endowment pledges of 1927 are still coming in; library building pledges of 1936 are still bein g paid up; and the Golden J u bilee ampaign in its preliminary phases is prayerfully getting under way. Soli Dco gloria! "For Goel and counlr . ., let us try to do Ollr full dUly da} by clay!
