18 ABILENE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
Texas, physically and morally. It has all the modern conveniences
of the city without its usual vices and degrading
influences. It is a high, healthful location, almost
entirely free from malaria, and with an abundance of
sunshine the year round. Students without doubt have
better health, feel better, do more work and better work
in our excellent climate than in a low altitude and humid
atmosphere farther east. Abilene is a very desirable
place in which to live, from the viewpoint of elevation,
climate, health, citizenship, church, and school. The oil
industry and excellent crop conditions make it especially
inviting in the various business fields at this time. Good
families are moving here especially for the benefit of
Abilene Christian College. This is true to a greater
extent than ever since we are giving four years of standard
college work so that the children of the family can
complete their college education with us and receive
their B. A. degrees. We are glad to furnish further information
on these points.
PURPOSE OF ABILENE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
The Christian men and women who make Abilene
Christian College possible have in mind the glory of God,
through the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ennobling of
mankind. The promulgation of truth and the building
of Christian character are primary. Sacrifices have been
made and will be made to maintain such secular courses
as will give the greatest efficiency for the several fields
of human endeavor. To this end, by the grace of God
and through the kindness of consecrated men and women,
is offered the full work of a standard four-year college.
The purpose is to develop genuine Christian men
and women, well equipped for efficient service in any
honorable field of human activity.
