Dear PLAIN TRUTH Subscriber:
As our older subscribers know, it has become custom for me,
twice annually, by personally written letter, to answer the
questions most asked by our readers.
Right now there is special need for this letter. Since
June, 225,000 new subscribers have been added. So I want now to
answer the questions that have been coming in from you NEW
subscribers. Since The PlAIN TRUTH is published by Ambassador
College, many are asking about Ambassador College. Others want to
know more about The PLAIN TRUTH, its staff, how it is produced.
Still others ask about The WORLD TOMORROW program broadcast
worldwide by Ambassador College, and now also, on television in
full color.
It has become custom, also, to have something NEW and of
SPECIAL INTEREST to offer -- entirely gratis, of course.
I realize that you have never heard of any operation like
ours. Almost everything about it is utterly unique. It's only
natural, I suppose, that some think there's got to be a catch to it
somewhere. Apparently no one else has ever done things this way.
But isn't it, after all, a refreshing experience to find something
with no catch -- no gimmick -- nothing to be offered later for you
to buy, nothing for you to join? We have nothing to sell. You'll
never be asked to become a contributor.
You'll find we mean what we say. And now I shall try to
give you the frank, honest, straightforward answer to some of these
questions.
FIRST, WHAT IS AMBASSADOR COLLEGE? It is a co-educational
institution in the field of the Arts and Humanities at both
graduate and undergraduate levels.
The undergraduate college offers Liberal Arts courses
leading to the B.A. degree; and in the School of Education and
Graduate School of Theology it offers courses leading to the
degrees of M.A., Ph.D., Ed.D., and Th.D. It maintains highest
academic standards. It is unique in its emphasis on character
building. The college has achieved a remarkably consistent and
steady growth -- now three campuses: at Pasadena, California; near
London, England; and 100 miles east of Dallas, Texas.
Student enrollment is restricted, so that we accept less
than 20% of applicants. Thus we maintain both a high-level student
body, and a high faculty- student ratio. All unmarried students
are required to be in residence on campus.
