Were known m o r e widely that Union

standard maintained at Union

this institution are questioned less,
perhaps, than those of any of our sister colleges? W e are accredited with
the University of Nebraska and other
universities, and consequently our students pass without difficulty t o those
places of higher learning.
A y o u n g lady f r o m Canada, who was
preparing f o r w o r k in a f o r e i g n field,
was asked why she came l o Union;
she replied that it was because Union
was the only one o f our colleges
r e c o g n i z e d by the Canadian government.
It Should b e known, also, that Union
College graduates o c c u p y many p r o m i nent positions in all parts of the
world. They include two vice-presidents of division conferences, f o u r
c o n f e r e n c e presidents, three mission
superintendents, six c o l l e g e presidents, and thirteen department s e c retaries, besides a large number o f
workers acting in various responsible
capacities.
T h e heads of departments and the
other teachers of Union are eminently
qualified f o r the. positions they hold.
T h i s guarantees a high educational
standard and p u b l i c r e c o g n i t i o n . But
this in no way detracts f r o m the
strong Christian influence that should
be f o u n d in such an institution, as
is assumed very o f t e n . In Union it
is f o u n d that a c o r r e c t educational
standard is an adjunct of t r u e Christianity.
Union College has not been advertised enough. T h e strong enrolment
campaigns made by other colleges have
benefited t h e m considerably, and a
s i m i l a r result would c o m e t o Union
if we, as f a c u l t y and students, make
it known far and near that w e have
f a i t h in our college. If this college
is g o o d enough f o r y o u to teach in,
it is g o o d e n o u g h , t o boost f o r .
If
this c o l l e g e is g o o d enough f o r you t o
attend as a student, it is g o o d enough
t o b r i n g others to. Our aim should
be five hundred students n e x t year.

A large number of the Union College a cappella choir reserved a balcony in the St. Paul church of Lincoln and attended the c o n c e r t given
by the St. Olaf a cappella choir f r o m
the Lutheran c o l l e g e at Northfield,
Minn.
A l l were intent upon the
entire p e r f o r m a n c e , but were particularly pleased when the choir responded to an encore by singing
" B e a u t i f u l Saviour," which is a number on which they are rehearsing. It
it quite evident that the Union College choir is being trained along the
recognized plan f o r a cappella singing.
The choir is to present the seventh
number of the lecture course o n Saturday evening, A p r i l 23.
Mr. Morey's studio choir rendered
an Easter cantata at the r e f o r m a t o r y

The music
