Twenty-one received the degree Bachelor of Arts. Twenty-seven of the young men and women who have attended the Missionary College the last year are under appointment for work in foreign fields. Some of these will leave at once; others will wait until next fall. The second year that the Washington Missionary College has done regular college work has proved a most successful one. Prof. J. L. Shaw will now devote his time to the work of assistant secretary of the General Conference, the position to which he was called by the Loma Linda council. Prof. B. F. Machlan will succeed him as president of the Washington Missionary College.
