Future Is Bright for
Alaska Methodist U,
States President McGinnis
Graduating seniors of Nome
High School expressed much in
terest in the new Alaska Metho
dist College last evening at a
banquet g^ven by the new college,
■with its president, Fred McGinnis,
and academic dean, Herbert Hel
ler, addressing the students.
“Never has the future of the
school which opens its doors next
fall, been brighter,” predicted its
president. The Methodist Church
now has 138 colleges, 12 of which
were started before Statehood
was achieved, and all of which
are non-denominational in its
teachings. The colleges are not to
produce more Methodists, but to
include certain “Christian values
into the education pattern.”
There have been over 500 appli
cations from teachers from all
the 50 states for the 12 positions
open on the first staff of the
Alaska Methodist College.
By the time school opens, there
will be one dormitory completed,
one building for classes, labs, ad
ministration, and housing for the
faculty.
The course of study offered is
planned along modern concepts
of teaching, integrating the
many fields of learning in the
humanities, social and natural
sciences.
Statehood Dollars Going Out
Today is the last day that
Statehood Dollars will be in cir
culation. They are to be turned
over to Paul Mandeville for re
demption, by the business houses
desiring to do so. Several places
are keeping the coins for sale next
summer to tourists.
