This debt does not represent money which has been wasted but is represented by value received on the campus in plant and equipment. It is also represented in the lives of those who have come under the shadow of the influence of the college. The debt has.been largely caused by ,the economic depression which prevented those w'ho subscribed to the million dollar campaign from meeting their obligations to the extent of $230,000 promised the college in that campaign.

There are many ways in which this objective is to be gained and certainly one is through the medium of Christian education. That is to say, the development of leaders in colleges which are definitely and positively Christian.
