instructors schooled in this world's cdu–
cational cvils would have won over
most of the student body. This would
have become just another collegc.
As it was, I was ablc person.tlly
tu
keep so close to those four that thcy
were won over to the Ambassador \\AY.
Only thrcc more ent<:red thc second
year. They, too, clcctcd to choose the
true pionecr Ambassador way. Thc same
was true of thc five additional studcnts
who carne the th1rd year- and su the
collcgc grew into thc new and diffcrent
Ambass<tdor mold.
And wlut is that \'<"AY?

is the way that
m·ouls
the CAUSE of
evils that grip this en tire world?
In
a nutshell it is a philosophy of
life d•amttncally oppositc to th.tt which
hwnan nature has travellcd
6,000
ycars. It is the way of outgomg con–
cern for
otherJ
- instcad of incoming
lust, vanity :tnd grecd - the way of
giving instcad of gctting, taking
:~nd
acquiring. Thc w:ty of helping, serv–
ing, shanng, and
of
kindness, consid–
erat.ion and lovc tow.1rd others. instead
of cnvy, je:llousy, rescntmcnt, hatred,
10\'Íng only one's self.
Thc collc:ge grcw in that w.ly.
But
we
foresaw the c:Yils of assembly–
line education for multiple thous:tnds
on one campus. So we put a limit of
700
un thc nwnbc:r of studcnts resi–
dc:nt on one campus. In 1960 the
sccond campus w:ts opcned, just out–
side of London. in Fngland. In
1964
the third c.unpus was npened in east–
ern Texas,
100
miles l·.lSt of D,tlbs,
near tl1<: village of Big S:mdy.

are bc:ginmng to contnbutc
