Special to the Chronicle
HOUSTON, TEX.' — After
several years of planning and
work, Houston Christian College
chartered earlier this year, will
open its first session in Sep-
tember, 1961.
The college is an outgrowth
of Houston Christian Schools, a
fully - accredited elementary
school, which began in 1953 and
is* under the same’-board of
trustees. It is the 18th college
in the U. S. to be put into
operation by members of the
Church of Christ.
The college will conduct at
first as an evening and night
school only, on the campus of
the elementary school which
erected three buildings about
two years ago
In addition to this $250,000
plant, the college officials hope
to raise $15u.oou within the next
three months so that two ad-p
ditional buildings can be erect-
ed during the summer.
The curriculum will cover cer-
tain basic subjects, usually re-
quired of first - year college
students. In 1962 the school will
offer sophomore level courses
also.
Initial subjects will include:
first year Bible, religioqs edu-
cation. history of education,
speech, history of western civili-
zation, Greek, English and
French, Should .there be suffi-
cient demand, fully qualified in-
structors are available to offer
instruction in accounting, busi-

This is a new nation,’ only
14 years old. It is underdevel-
oped economically but is mak-
ing strong efforts to overcome
this. Religiously, its people are
dedicated to Islam, a new fron-
tier for Christian people to be
sure.
Muslim believes devoutly in his
one god, Allah, while the Hindu
likewise devoutly believes in
many gods.
The customs and culture of
the two groups are very dif-
ferent. These major differences
