Emmanuel Missionary College Second Annual Calendar
The second annual calendar of Emmanuel Missionary College contains a brief history of this institution, the successor of Battle Creek College, with a statement of its distinctive aims and plans. The following departments of work are offered: ministerial, missionary teachers, preparatory medical missionary, Christian business, music, and manual training. This calendar is the first one, so far as we have noticed, in which the names of the members of the faculty appear without any degrees appended, or any specific department of work assigned. This would seem to indicate a purpose to depart from the traditional idea that each instructor has a distinct portion of the field of knowledge fenced off and allotted to him, outside of which he is not expected to lead the students, and within which no one else is supposed to venture. We like this plan. Of course each instructor will emphasize such views of truth as have entered most fully into his experience, but the true teacher should have an open field in which to deal with truth under the guidance of the Spirit of truth. When this is done, each teacher ought to find that all truth is of God and that the best expression of the principles of all truth is found in the Bible. In this way the Bible naturally becomes the foundation of all study, and every teacher is a teacher of Bible truth. The plan of taking one subject at a time is continued. The fall term opens Wednesday, October 15. Copies of the calendar and further information may be obtained by addressing the president, E. A. Sutherland, Berrien Springs, Mich.
