more clearly as he has gained his stride across this his second year as Dean of the College. His easy use of Arabic is such an enormous advantage. His human qualities, his personal interest in the lives of the students, his organizing gifts, his wisdom in discipline and above all the deer and strong religious interest which actuates all his life -- these are invaluable assets in the po-sition which he has so efficiently administered. If his past missionary experi-ence has not been along distinctly educational lines, a College faculty, made up of many personalities with varied gifts but possessing a well developed corporate experience, has been his to steady and guide him where technical educational training was required. The result of his leadership and of the hearty cooperation of his faculty has been a year of unusual success. It is always baffling to compress within the limits of a few pages the activities of the College throughout a year. Dean Badeau's Report comprising 21 typewritten pages is itself a compression of 105 typewritten pages of group re-ports detailing the activities of the year. Naturally, in this Report only the most outstanding features of the year's report can be noted. First to be noted is a marked gain in enrolment, the most gratifying feature of which was that a Sophomore enrolment of 36, as against 20 last year, gave a strong impulse to the Senior College section. Resulting directly from the increased enrolment was an improved financial record, the actual income of the College exceeding that of the budgeted income by L.E.200 ($1000). A measure of reorganization has divided the College more clearly into a Junior College section and a Senior College section. The attainments aimed at in the courses leading to a B.A. degree have been defined as follows: "Proficiency in two languages, some knowledge of the culture and the ideals of the West as reflected in its literature; an awareness of present-day natural science; an ability to appreciate the present-day world; a sense of social responsibility; a genuine interest, backed up by a compre-hensive view of history, in the political, social, and economic problems of the Near East, with a view to intelligent citizenship; a basis for meeting and a technique for trying to solve the religious and moral problems con-fronting himself and the group of which he is a member. The specific requirements need to be changed, but they should always add up to the total we have in mind, and consistently have had." Extra-curricular activities in the College continue to feature our charac-ter and personality developing program, 200 out of 279 students taking part in at least one activity, exclusive of 100 sharing in purely athletic activities. While the Campus Caravan is counted as one of the extra-curricular activities,it is much more than that, serving as a laboratory and as field practise for students taking the Journalism courses. The development in recent years of this student publication, in form and size, frequency of issuance, content, organization, sense of responsibility and especially in financial solvency constitutes one of the most striking features of the two decades in which the paper has had its existence. Religious activities and influences promoted in the College deserve special mention in spite of comprehensive statements in my past reports. Progress, resourcefulness and creativeness in dealing with the many new problems and oppor-tunities which emerge in this sphere of student life may be reasonably expected
