come to enjoy that blessed EFFECT. And because, also, we are
SETTING THE LIVING EXAMPLE on our three college campuses. On them
we have peace, harmony, radiating happiness, purpose,
accomplishment!
And now many, high in government and business from many parts
of the world, are visiting Ambassador College campuses. And here
they see and experience the living example of the PEACE, and
enthusiastic happiness that the "GIVE" way of life produces. They
are impressed with the character of the students, faculty and other
personnel.
Let me tell you of a few specific instances.
In November, 1968, when both Hebrew University of Jerusalem
and Ambassador College were considering the joint participation in
the huge archaeological project, Dr. Benjamin Mazar, former
President of the University, and Dr. Joseph Aviram, Dean of the
College of Humanities at the University, visited the Pasadena and
Texas campuses. They were much impressed with what they saw.
Several others from Hebrew University and the Israeli government
have since visited various ones of our campuses. Ambassador
College is highly respected and honored in Israel.
Late in 1969 Willy Brandt replaced Kurt Kiesinger as
Chancellor of West Germany. Soon after, Chancellor Kiesinger's
Press
Secretary and Public Relations Officer, Dr. Alf Enseling, flew to
Pasadena to spend two days on our campus. Then he spent one day on
the Texas campus. Returning to Bonn, he held a press conference.
His first words, as reported to me, were: "Gentlemen, I have just
returned from Paradise!"
A little later, spring of last year, the "strong man of
Europe," Dr. Franz Josef Strauss, former Finance Minister of West
Germany, with his wife and secretary, spent two days on our
Pasadena campus. At the close of the first day, he commented that
he had just spent the happiest day of his life. The PEACE and
happiness here are contagious! Dr. Strauss drank it in. Herr
Strauss said, "We need an Ambassador College in Germany."
He was flown in our jet plane to our Texas campus, then to
Houston to inspect the giant moonshot Space Center, then to
Washington, D.C. for important conferences. But from our Texas
campus he sent his wife back to Pasadena to enjoy another day on
the Ambassador campus.
Last October, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Singapore, Mr.
George Thompson, came to visit the Pasadena campus. His reaction
was the same.
In November of last year, King Leopold, with his wife and two
daughters, were our guests at the Pasadena campus. They also had
visited the campus in England. I have already reported on their
reaction.
Last February, in Tokyo, Mr. Rader, Mr. Gotoh and I were
