Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
GREETINGS! Again I am a couple weeks late getting this letter
to you! Mrs. Armstrong and I have been back at Headquarters from
England only a short time, and the pressure has been so heavy on us
I simply could not get to everything at once. And now our Business
Department is putting pressure on me to write you this letter. IT
IS URGENT!
We are right in the midst of opening the 19th year of
Ambassador College--Pasadena campus. About 192 new freshmen
students have arrived--our largest incoming class in history. The
start of a new school year always brings a buzz of activity.
More than that, Mrs. Armstrong and I have been in the throes
of moving. I think I had mentioned in a previous letter that the
California Institute of Technology is in a multi-million dollar
building expansion program--even as Ambassador College is. We
have lived only a block from their campus. They are taking all the
property in our block--in fact, about a twelve square block area,
and we have been forced to sell. Our own staff of carpenters,
plumbers, electricians, etc., have remodeled one of our college-
owned houses for us. We had lived at the same place for over 18
years--ever since Ambassador College was founded--and when one must
move after 18 years, it is a big task. And now we have to leave in
two days, for the opening of Ambassador College in Texas--and after
that, we must undergo the long, tiresome flight back to England
again, for the opening of the college in England.
I wish you could be here, and see the students queued up in a
long line, extending more than a block, and out into the street,
from the entrance to Mayfair. Mayfair is one of our women's
student residences, but for years we have had to use the entire
ground floor as a dining hall. Now not even half of the students
can be seated at once. If it rains, students must stand in line
out in the rain, waiting. It is a very unsatisfactory situation.
If you could see it, you would realize WHY our new expansion
program of new buildings is so urgently IMPERATIVE.
Our new dining hall is under construction, to alleviate this
overcrowded situation. But all building operations in Southern
California were at a standstill for a good part of the summer, due
to a general building industry strike. Our dining hall should
