A WORD TO PROSPECTIVE
STUDENTS
BY A. M. HILLS

| BY A. M. HILLS, ID. ID.
Many students and young men and
women will not be reached by our
catalogs; for we do not have their
names and addresses. But l have
been requested by President A. O..
Henricks, D. D., to send word to
them through the Herald of Holi-
ness. You will choose a school for
the coming year in the few weeks
before you. Instead of choosing a
school whose religious life is at a
low ebb, where the Bible is not
taught, and where holiness is under
the ban, why not come to us where
lyou can have the best mental train
ling under the most favorable Chris
tian influences to be found any,
where?
We have the best climate in the
world, and natural scenery unsur-
passed - mountains within three
miles of us, some six thousand feet
high, whose tops in winter may be
covered with snow, while we are
|picking oranges and flowers on our
college grounds and breathing air
|perfumed with the fragrance of or
|ange blossoms. This is the Damas-
Gus valley of America.
Then, our students have opportun-
tiles for self-support not equaled in
ANY school we have ever known.
Pasadena is said to be the richest
city of its size in the world, and
families pay the largest wages for
service. Our students have made
themselves popular by their trust
worthiness and fidelity, and we have
many more calls for their service
than we can fill. Many of our girls
get employment in the best of homes,
where they receive from SIS to $50
a month and room and board for
what service they can render nights
and mornings and on Saturdays.
They have from 8 a. m. to p. m.
for their school work. This COM
|mencement week woman phoned to
the matron for student girl to cook
for a family of seven and look after
the children during their summer
outing on the ocean beach. One of
our girls got the place in an hour,
and receives $50 month and room
and board for three months.
Young men have similar oppor-
tunities serving in hotels, receiving
from $40 to $40 a month and room
and board Thirty cents an hour is
paid for working on lawns. Some
times students get from SIS to So a
night for waiting on tables. One
man graduated this year with the de-
gree of BID. from our theological
seminary. Four of his children were
also students in our school, and he
supported his family, earning nearly
$4,000 the last year besides keeping
up with his studies. There is no
excuse for young people not having
an education.
Another suggestion | wish to make.
Hitherto students have left our holi-
ness schools and gone to the theo-
logical seminaries of other denomin-
Iations because no Nazarene school
or holiness college offered a three
years Greek and Hebrew theological
course leading to the degree of BID.
In these schools they have had
their experience of holiness sneered
at by professors and fellow-students
until they were browbeat into silence
backslid, lost out, and were heard of
mo more.
Pasadena University has deter.
mined to remedy all this. We have
Iengaged new professors and offer
lfor next year and future years a
Greek and Hebrew theological course
of three years-120 semester hours
las high as any in the country ano
|more than most of the universities
land theological seminaries require
TRAINED minds will defend the Bible
lagainst evolution, higher criticism
land modern infidelity.
| Students who have completed thu
first three years of their college
lcourse in any standard college, ant
lour own college seniors, may elec'
the first year studies of our theo
ogical seminary course for their sen
Iior year, and receive the ABB. degree
land then finish the seminary course
in two years with the degree of BID.
lcompleting the two courses in si'
-ears instead of seven.
