SIMMONS COLLEGE CATALOGUE
In addition to the above the Simmons Bible Institute,
which is conducted in January of each year, has done
much in developing the religious life of the College.
The Mission Band, composed of students who are
looking toward work as Missionaries, is an organization
of intense service and much promise.
Special meetings are held each year. The pastors of
the Abilene church were the preachers this year.
All students are expected to attend church services
on Sunday mornings. Non-resident students usually attend
the First Baptist Church: but on request from his
parent or guardian, a student may attend services elsewhere.LIBRARY.
The library is an important factor in the student life.
Its range is broad, covering every branch of knowledge
and every kind of good literature.
There are 6,000 or more bound books in the library,
besides several thousand unbound volumes and pamphlets,
and the number is continually increasing through the gifts
of generaus friends. The ministerial students are making
special efforts to get more religious books, and other
friends are donating books to the libray.
The kinds of works in the library which are most numerous
are:
1. The standard authors in literature.
2. Religious works.
3. Books of reference.
4. Works of fiction.
Works of science and philosophy are not so numerous.46
