The College of Medical Evangelists

By Editor

WE have received the annual announcement of the Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists for 1912-13. The school year opens September 26. This college affords to its students excellent opportunities in hospital and clinical work. We would call special attention to the following important resolution passed by the Department of Education of the General Conference:—

"Whereas, Our young men and women are in great danger of losing their faith in God's Word and their interest in this message if subjected to the influences of medical schools where religious instruction is not a part of the curriculum; and,—

"Whereas, The members of the Department of Education of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in attendance at the annual council held at Loma Linda, June 1-6, 1912, have carefully examined the work of this institution, inspected its laboratories, library, course of study, clinical facilities, recognition by other medical schools and the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association, and have noted its efficient faculty and its broad and substantial plans for the future; we therefore unhesitatingly—

"Recommend to our young people who are contemplating the medical work that they attend the College of Medical Evangelists, of Loma Linda, Cal., rather than other medical colleges, because we believe by so doing they will be much more efficiently prepared for work in the great advent movement."

Six courses of study are offered to those of our young people desiring a training along medical lines,—the medical, a combined course whereby the student may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree upon completing the third year of the medical, a medical evangelist course, the evangelist nurses' course, a special missionary course of one year, and a cooks and bakers' course.
