ABILENE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
lege better serve those who wish to get a college education in a
Christian environment, Mrs. J. C. Thomas established in 1936 the
Maynet Thomas Baley loan fund with a gift of $500, honoring her
daughter, Mrs. Clarence E. Baley, who is Associate Professor of English
and Foreign Language in Abilene Christian College.
The Harley Woodward Foundation For Christian Evangelism.Mrs.
E. F. Woodward of Houston, Texas, has recently established
in Abilene Christian College the "Harley Woodward Foundation for
Christian Evangelism." This is primarily a loan fund to assist young
people to attend Abilene Christian College so that they may better
prepare themselves for Christian work in the church. This money
is loaned to worthy students-members of the church-at a low rate
of interest.
The accumulated interest from this foundation becomes a scholarship
fund to assist orphans and other very worthy students, who
are preparing to give themselves wholly to the work of the church,
to attend Abilene Christian College.
PLACEMENT SERVICE
The College operates a placement service for students for the
purpose of assisting them to secure employment. Assistance is given
students in securing teaching positions, commercial or industrial positions,
positions for summer work, and part-time employment while
in school. The placement office seeks to place the registrants in positions
for which they are qualified. To this end, credentials for the
registrants are kept on file in the office and made available to prospective
employers, and an attempt is made to bring the applicant who
is qualified for a particular position into contact with the employer
who needs his services.
