Broadview Swedish Seminary

By H. O. OLSON

THE Broadview Swedish Seminary has just closed one of its most successful school years. The closing exercises were very impressive and inspiring, and a fitting culmination of the many spiritual feasts enjoyed during the year.

Of the seventy students enrolled, all except three remained until the close of school. The enrolment was about fifty per cent above that of the previous year. Half our number enter the canvassing work during vacation. Several go out as tent masters and Bible workers. The seminary graduated a class of eight,—two from the seminary course, which includes fourteen grades of work; and six from the academic. These two were the first to be graduated from the seminary course. They will probably remain permanently in the work.

Plans have been laid to increase the enrolment for next year, and consequently dormitory room is being provided for about fifteen additional students. A number of improvements were voted by the board of trustees at its last meeting. These will be made as soon as sufficient money is secured. We have every reason to believe that by the opening of the next school year the entire debt of the institution will be liquidated, and a surplus raised to make possible all improvements voted. When this has been accomplished, we plan to dedicate the seminary and celebrate our jubilee of freedom from debt.

We extend a cordial invitation to all Swedish young people within our ranks who have not finished their education to attend the seminary next year. The fall semester opens September 20. Any one desiring information concerning the courses offered by the school should write for a catalogue at once. Address the Broadview Swedish Seminary, R. F. D. 1, Box 20. Lagrange, Ill.
