proposed two plans to keep Torrey with the new West Coast school: 1) that the Institute arrange evan gelistic meetings for Torrey on the West Coast until 2) the basement auditorium (1,500-seat capacity) be completed. With a man of Torrey’s vision the basement idea was not sound. Said he, “If you begin on the 1,500 basis, the community will size you up as a 1,500-size man, and this, humanly speaking, will make it more difficult later on to gather larger crowds.” He was pleased with the idea of doing evangelistic work and it wasn’t long before a firm agreement was finalized whereby Torrey was to head the academic and spiritual activities of the Institute as dean from 1913 to 1924. After several delays, the Bible Institute finally held a ground breaking ceremony, Friday at 1 o’clock, June 22, 1912. Following the singing of hymns, Superintend ent Horton made a brief address, calling attention to the great work providentially assigned to the Insti tute and the purpose of the manage ment to make the proposed build ings a rallying center for magni fying the Word of God. Stewart, as chairman of the board of directors, turned a shovelful of dirt, and said: “In the name of the Bible Institute I now take possession of this ground for the Lord’s use by the act of turning this spadeful of earth. May our united prayers be that every detail of the construction of this building be accomplished in the fear of the Lord and for His glory. Let it be our hope and prayer that from this place shall radiate streams of influence which will be a great blessing not only to the multitudes around us but also to the darkest places of the earth.” A prayer of dedication was of fered by Dean Torrey and the audi ence sang, “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less.” Almost a year later, on Saturday a f t e r n o o n , May 31, 1913, the cornerstone was laid. Chiseled on the stone was the inscription, “Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.” Inside the cornerstone was placed a copper box containing the city newspapers of that May 31st, copies
