or many years there has ap–
peared in the annual Ambas–
sador College catalog a
ection captioned "Founda–
tional Policy." As you wilJ see in my
"Personal" ("The Deadly Leaven of
Higher Education"), Ambassador
College had been systematically
infiltrated in the past seven to
ten years by the Jeaven of "in–
tellectualism" and "higher educa–
tion."
That article explains how 1
fought, bled and died to KEEP ouT
this leaven the first three years after
the college was founded and to es–
tablish Ambassador as uniquely
Goo's OWN COLLEGE.
Jesus Christ, the living HEAD of
God's Church and college, has led
me
lO
STEP BACK IN FULL CONTROL,
setting Ambassador College back on
the track as Goo's college.
This college, as it was- unique
among the educational institutions
on earth-and as 1 have now RE–
STORED
IT,
once again follows this
foundational policy.

again, or for the first time.

Ambassador College is rooted to
an educational policy and a philo–
sophic approach which permeates
the institution.
Today we live in a different
world. Frightening changes have oc–
curred. The world went along on a
comparatively even keel from the
dawn of history until the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. Suddenly
knowledge increased. Nearly all
modern inventions have appeared
during the past 150 years.
In
little more than the brief span
of a lifetime the world has passed
with accelerating speed through the
age of invention, the machine age,
the age of science and technology,
the nuclear age, and now, the space
age. The sudden acceleration in sci–
entific development is evidenced by
the astounding fact that 90 percent
of aU scientists who ever lived are
living today.
And with these developments has
emerged a new age in education.
Today's world is what its leaders
have made it , and these Jeaders are
the product of this world's educa–
tion. But what kind of world has this
education produced?
It
appears
to be a progressive
world, suddenly newly enlightened
and fantastically advanced.
lt
has
become a modero world, producing
awe-inspiring inventions, labor-sav–
ing devices, dazzling luxuries un–
dreamed of a single century ago.
Today there is instantaneous com–
munication, worldwide. We fty
around the world in two days, and
orbit the earth in 90 minutes. The
miracles of radio, television, hi-fi
s tereo sound reproduction, and
cinerama entertain an amusement–
hungry world. Assembly-line mass
machine production makes avail–
able a myriad of exciting new de–
vices and simultaneously increases
incomes and shortens work hours,
thus providing both the leisure and
the purchasing power for the masses
to enjoy al! these new luxuries.
A fascinated, entranced world
now looks ahead to the magic
dream-world, push-button Century
21, when human labor will be al!
but abolished, with idleness, ease
and luxury enjoyed by all! lsn' t this
breathtaking PROGRESS?
So it seems. But there is the other
side of the coin, and it's high time
