student government program is seriously challenged
‘arrangement. The Seminary holds that the student gov-
program is an essential part of the training program for

nued to develop the program and has succeeded in gaining
peration of better than 94% of the students. Once again
é of this work was reflected in the generally excellent

at the Seminary is as important in training a physically

g the past year a part-time registered nurse was engaged

gine Seminary’s good fortune to have students as medical

It is hoped that in one of the contemplated dormitories
it can be established to serve the needs of the students
