AMBASSADOR COLLEGE UPDATE
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA
AUGUST 21, 1981
The students are now on campus preparing for the new college year. We will
have approximately 500 full-time students, plus about 25 part-time students
(those taking only one or two classes).
On Tuesday, August 18th, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong conducted the first fac
ulty meeting of the 1981-82 college year. He pointed out where the educators
of this world go astray--not knowing God, or not having contact with Him. He
revealed that the real problem with modern education all started in the
Garden of Eden when the first parents of the human race chose the way of
death as opposed to the way of life.
On Wednesday, August 19th, Mr. Armstrong spoke at the Orientation Forum.
During his address to the students and faculty of Ambassador, he stressed
the importance of having the proper foundation for a true education.
He
showed how he disproved the theory of evolution about fifty years ago. Also,
he proved to his satisfaction that there was a Designer and Creator of the
universe who ordered the material creation. Again he stressed the fact that
Adam and Eve rejected the true foundation of education by rejecting God and
His way. Modern educators do the same thing--reject God's instructions as
found in the Bible.
Then, on Thursday, August 20th, Mr. Armstrong flew to Big Sandy to be there
for the reopening of that campus. He especially wanted to be at Big Sandy
for both the faculty-student reception and the Orientation Forum.
Once again, it looks like we have a very good group of students.
I have
already met quite a few of them, including sons and daughters of some of the
ministers. We fully expect the 1981-82 college year to be the best in well
over a decade. I am sure God will continue to bless Ambassador if we keep
Ambassador on the course which the Founder and Chancellor set for the
College from the beginning.
We are going to be very busy for the next few days with the students regis
tering for classes, signing up with various departments to work, etc.
And I might add that it is good to have Mr. Armstrong back in Pasadena, mak
ing this truly "headquarters" once again. He has a very busy schedule, but I
feel that in spite of this Mr. Armstrong will manage to take quite a number
of the forums and/or assemblies during the coming college year, thereby in
spiring both students and faculty.
