Dear Brethren and Co-Workers:
I think you ought to know more of what goes on here at
the dynamic nerve-center of God's Work! I would like you to know
more of the inside facts---the operations and activities of this
headquarters of GOD'S WORK.
It's important, and I'm sure it will be very
interesting, for you to know more of how this work is organized---
what its active staff and personnel look like---where they work---
how they work. As you know, the headquarters is located here on
the beautiful campus of Ambassador College in Pasadena. Here is
where the future ministers and executives of the work are being
trained.
Even better, in many ways, than a personal visit to the
campus will be the new, larger, finer, 1957 college yearbook, The
Envoy. Yes, another thrilling yearbook is well under way, and the
advance designs, layouts and illustrations which the committee has
shown me indicate it will excel any we have produced so far.
A personal visit to Ambassador College is an exciting
and most enjoyable experience---but on a single visit it is not
possible for one to share in all the clubs, field trips, concerts,
assemblies, forums, and the many and varied activities of the
college over an entire year. These are all recorded and pictured
in The Envoy.
Through this book you share in the experiences of the
students, professors, ministers, and the entire staff. Ambassador
College is constantly GROWING---even as God's work is expanding
around the world. We now have the largest enrollment so far---106
undergraduate students. The campus has more than doubled in size
since last year's Envoy. You will want to keep up with this growth
by ordering your Envoy every year. You'll see more than 40 new
students pictured in the 1957 Envoy. You'll see pictures of the
fabulous adjacent Hulett C. Merritt estate, now added to our
already magnificently-landscaped campus. The formal Italian sunken
gardens on the South Orange Grove Avenue side, once restored, are
the equal of anything at Versailles or any place in the world. The
semi-formal stately cyprus columns and lofty deodar trees and
majestically-contoured lawns on the Terrace Drive side form a two-
block-long continuation of our present campus grounds. Nothing on
