GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORICAL SKETCH
In 1906 " The Fisherman 's Clu b," whic h combined Bi ble stu dy and so ul winning, was organized for th e yo un g men of the Immanuel Presbyter ian Church by Rev. T. C. Hort on, ass istant pas tor. The fo ll owing year. Mr. D. H. Steele, an elder of th e same church and manage r of a department s tore, requested Mrs. Hort on to open a Bible class fo r the yo un g women employed in his store, offerin g a la rge room for the purpose . The g roup was named ' 'The Lyceum Club" and g rew to includ e oth er yo un g women bes ides th e employees of the one store. These two groups of yo un g people presented the cha ll enge of further study and training. The Bible In stitut e idea was not entirely new; as earl y as 1901 Mr. Lyman Stewart, a Chri sti an layman with a zeal fo r the Lord 's service and an almos t propheti c eye to th e futur e. had plann ed fo r such a school in Los Ange les . ow, in response lo an immediat e need, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Horton became co-founders of the Bibl e Institut e of Los Ange les. In the fall of 1907. through th e cooperati on of Rev . A. B. Pritchard , pastor of Central Presbyterian Church. some classes, whi ch were the fore runner of the Bibl e In stitute, were held in the lecture ro om of that church. On February 25, 1908, a mee ting was called to effec t a permanent organization. At thi s mee tin g th e foll owing persons were elec ted as officers: Lyman Stewart , Pres ident ; A. B. Pritcha rd , Vi ce-Pres ident ; T. C. Horton , Superintendent; R. A. Hadden, Associate Superintendent ; B. C. Atterbury, Secretary ; and Leon V. Shaw, Treasure r. Mess rs. Hort on, Hadden, and Pritchard formed the faculty. The re was rapid development of the sc hool. From the beginning its outreach was evangeli sti c. Shop mee tin gs were taken over and conducted . Bible Women 's work was organized, a wo rk amon g Jews was commenced, as was also Spanish Mi ss ion work and work among the men of th e oil fi elds. Extension classes were organized in the city and in surrounding towns. Within three years the schoo l had well outg rown the experimental stage, and a forward educati onal step was taken with the calling of Dr. Reuben A. Torrey to be Dean. On Januar y 1. 1912, Dr. T orrey began his twelve-year period of service in this offi ce. In order to meet the en larg ing needs and to provide a suitable and permanent home for th e schoo l, a new site was purchased at Sixth and Hope Streets and a new building e rec ted, gro und for whi ch was broken on June 22, 1912. This building, dedi cated the foll owing year, reflected the builders' hopes and faith for futur e g rowth. Legally known as The Bible Institute of Los Ange les, Incorporated, this institution acad emicall y has taken four distinc t forward s teps in the fi eld of Christian education. In 1936 the Institute appli ed for and received State authorization for the conferring of certain degrees. Three four- year courses were th en organized, leading to the deg rees of Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Christian Edu cation, and Bachelor of Sacred Music.

GENERAL INFORMATION
In 1945, in an effort to extend the m1ss1onary trammg program of the Bible Institute, the School of Missionary Medicine was brought into being. This postgraduate year is planned as supplementary training for missionary work and is open to graduates of any school who qualify in the spiritual, intellectual, and missionary requirements that are outlined. In the summer of 1949 another forward step was taken when, in response to repeatedly stated needs of mission boards and other Christian leaders, the school increased its Faculty and en larged its curriculum to include a Bible College with courses leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. This school is now kn own academically as Biola College. The most recent expansion occurred in 1952 when, to keep Christian education in step with world missionary and evangeli stic demands, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated , inaugurated a standard three year Theological Seminary with courses leading to a Bachelor of Divinity degree. This school was named Talbot Seminary in honor of Dr. Louis T. Talbot, who held the office of President from 1938 to 1952 and who still serves the school in the capacity of Chancellor. To meet the demands imposed by the present student body and the enl arged cu rri culum a campus s ite of seventy acres was purchased in La Mirada, twenty-two miles eas t of Los Angeles civic center. From the small beginning of one course of study to four distinct but related schools on an enlarged campus, the story is one of steady grow th and expansion. The present organization provides for a President over the whole, with a Dean over each of the four schools, one of which, Biola College, presents this catalog. THE COMMUNITY OF LA MIRADA The community of La Mirada is in Los Angeles County, twenty- two miles south-east of the city of Los Angeles. It li es near the center of Southern California's fastest growing area, surrounded by such cit ies as Whittier, Norwalk, Buena Park, Anaheim, and Fullerton. La Mirada is a planned residential community with a present population of approximately 25.000. Included within the community are two major shopping centers in addition to many other business es tabli shmen ts scattered throughout the area.

THE NATURE AND STANDARDS OF BIOLA COLLEGE Biola College is an interdenominational school of college rank empha sizing thorough scholarship and is committed to the evangelical doctrines of the Christian Church. It earn estly endeavors to make these historic doctrines a vital reality in the spiritual life of this present generation. In view of the fact that founders of Biola desired to serve the Christian public, the conduct of a Biola College student is expected to conform to the highest Christian standard. The rul e by which he lives is the earnest striving for God's approval and the conscious protection of his Christian testimony. Specifically, there are certain practices which are contrary to the standards of Biola College and from which, therefore , all students are to refrain as long as they are in school: the use of alcoholi c beverages or tobacco, attendance at commercial theatres , dancing, the use of playing cards, and gambling in any form. Since the College is interdenominational and yet theologically conserva tive, the Articles of Incorporation coiltain a doctrinal statement an abridge ment of which is given below: "The Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God, a supernaturally given revelation without error or mis- 13
GENERAL INFORMATION
statement in moral and spiritual teachings and record of historical facts. "There is one God, eternally existing and manifesting Himself to us m three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. "Our Lord Jesus Christ was supernaturally conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, lived and taught and wrought mighty works and wonders and signs exactl y as is recorded in the four Gospels, was put to death by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, was raised from the dead in the body that had been nailed to the cross, now sits at the Father's right hand from whence He is coming again personally, bodily, and visibly to this earth to inaugurate His millennial reign. In His pre-existent state He was with God, and of His own choice laid aside His divine glory and took upon Himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men. He became in every respect a real man , possessed of all the essential char acteristics of human nature. By His death upon the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, redeeming us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse in our place. "The Holy Spirit is a Person, is God, and is possessed of all the dis tinctively divine attributes; He indwells all believers, having baptized them into the body of Christ at the time of regeneration. ''Man was created in the image of God, but the whole human race fell in the sin of the first Adam, and apart from Christ is sp iritually dead and lost. Men are justified on the simp le and single gro und of the shed blood of Christ and upon the simple and single condition of faith in Him who shed the blood , and are born again by the Holy Spirit, through the instru mentality of the Word of God. All those who receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour and their Lord , and who confess Him as such before their fellow men become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ and at death their spirits depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness , and at the second coming of Christ their bodies shall be raised and transformed into the likeness of the body of His glory. All those who persistentl y reject Jesus Christ in the present life shall be raised from the dead and throughout eternity exist in a state of conscious and endless torment. "The Church consists of all those who, in this present dispensation, truly believe on Jesus Christ and is the body and bride of Christ, which Christ loves and for which He has given Himself. "There is a personal devi l, a being of great cunning who can exert vast power only so far as God suffers him to do so, and who shall ultimately be cast into the lake of fir e and brimstone."
