j b r . ( Z l i ase SUBJECT: 64ih ¿z/dcademic‘^X^ear DATE: ^September, 1972 This month Biola begins its 64th academic year. Students, faculty, staff, location, academic structure, our world; just about everything has changed. A Drama team that prayed with 2300 new converts in its first ten days in Africa. A teaching team to Ghana with the Sudan Interior Mission. Athletic teams and individual students literally reaching around the world before they graduate. Musical groups of every size and de scription. Involvement beyond the greatest expectation of any of our founders. Tremendous as these changes are, our foundation is the same — to know Christ and to make Him known. The Bible is still the central feature of each student’s program, sharing our faith in Christ is still our major objective. Today’s students don’t look, dress, or act like those that attended Biola in the 1940’s, just as the students of the 40’s were quite different from those of the 1920’s. Culture never stands still. And the pressures it brings upon its young always have profound effect. Our young people have grown up with television, the cold war, and Viet Nam. They are part of a society whose value system dictates that nothing is intrinsically right or wrong, that God is dead and human hope Page *4
