AMBASSADOR COLLEGE UPDATE (Pasadena Campus)

We are now well into the first semester of the 1984-85 college year. Thus far, we are having another very successful year. We have a very fine group of freshmen, and I am enjoying teaching the class, Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ, to them. All told, we have 167 freshmen.

Last week, Mr. Shimada, President of Bunkyo College in Tokyo, visited Ambassador College. He spoke briefly to the students and faculty at the Thursday assembly, then had lunch with the faculty. Mr. Shimada invited my wife and me to visit Bunkyo College in the near future. We plan to do that on our return to Pasadena from the Feast of Tabernacles — about October 24-27. We hope to discuss the 1985 Japanese Summer Program with the Bunkyo College officials. (This past summer we had over 90 Bunkyo students studying at Ambassador College.)

My wife and I are scheduled to keep the Day of Atonement with God's people in Fiji; then we will spend the entire Feast of Tabernacles with our brethren in New Zealand. We very much look forward to meeting many of the brethren, and eagerly anticipate visiting with the New Zealand ministers and their wives.

We are planning to have an Ambassador College booth located at each of the Feast sites in the United States and Canada. In addition to the Feast booth, we plan to have an Ambassador College representative at as many of the Feast sites as possible, so they can meet with interested prospective students during the Feast.

I hope all of you have a safe, profitable and happy Feast of Tabernacles. I know that we all will have a very successful Feast if we will be sure to put God first, making certain that we place the real emphasis on the spiritual rather than the physical.
