THE FIRST ONE-TENTH SHOULDERS ONE-FIFTH OF THE LOAD AND POINTS THE WAY TO GREATER VICTORIES THE NEXT FIVE MONTHS WILL TELL THE TALE To Our Friends and Supporters: Have courage! We've got to do it! We've got to save and develop Pacific Lutheran College! We've got to do it NOW! THE WAY TO SUCCESS Four things are necessary in order to maintain and develop a Christian school like Pacific Lutheran College: 1. An intelligent constituency. 2. A constructive, forward-looking program. 3. Co-operative effort. 4. The blessing of God. OUT Constituency
First of all, our constituency consists of the legal owners of Pacific Lutheran Col lege, who are the members of the congregations of the Pacific District of the Nor· wegian Lutheran Church of America. About ten thousand of these owners are con firmed members of the Church. From each of these members support may be sought in proportion to their intelligence and ability. In a wider sense, our constituency consists of all those to whom Pacific Lutheran College directly or indirectly may render service. This constituency includes not only the Lutheran population of the Pacific Coast, but also all others to whom the presence of a Christian school out West may be of benefit. In an economic sense, the constituency of Pacific Lutheran College includes all the members of the community to which this school is an economic asset. In yet another sense, the constituency of Pacific Lutheran College may be said to consist of all persons who believe in the future development of the Pacific Coast, and who see, or can be made to see, that an institution like Pacific Lutheran College has a real part in this development. The support which this constituency, in whatever sense, may render may be given in various forms: students, gifts, financial support, good words, prayers. Do you know what Pacific Lutheran College, with success, is trying to do? To provide trained leaders and intelligent and consecrated workers, to build Christian char· acter, to develop a Christian view of life, to promote the highest type of citizenship, to help keep America Christian, to advance that righteousness which exalts a nation, and to make speecially the Lutheran Church effective in its God-given mission.. Do your realize that Pacific Lutheran College, as the only school of its specific type on the Pacific Coast, has an open and increasingly important field, extending from San Diego, California, to Teller, Alaska?
