THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY OF WATERLOO LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY The 1964 Annual Meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of Waterloo Lutheran University was held in the Theatre Auditorium on the Campus on September 23, at 3 p.m. Mrs. Martin Dolbeer of Waterloo led the devotions, with Mrs. Herbert Gastmeier of Stratford. as pianist. Using for her theme the parable of the talents, Mrs. Dolbeer told us that God works wonders with little "1-talent" people - He created so many of them - but they must have faith in themselves and in Him. Mrs. Harry Greb welcomed the members, and. introduced. Dr. W.J. Villaume, University President, who referred to the Women's Auxiliary as a vital part of the campus family, and expressed gratitude for the many ways in which the Auxiliary has helped during the past year, both as a group, and as individuals. He suggested some present needs, namely: good used pianos for music instruction in the Bricker Street house and for the Seminary Conference Room; two hymnboards for the Seminary Chapel; more bursaries for needy students; and expansion of the Library Fund. There are now 11,500 volumes, and this number must be doubled, for the purpose of post-graduate studies and in order that the Seminary may become fully accredited by the American Association of Theological Schools. Dr. Lloyd D. Schaus, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, spoke of the record enrolment of over 1900 students this year. This might be due in part to the scholarship programme which gives free tuition to all candidates with 75% or more in Grade 13, tuition plus $200 to those with 80%, and all expenses paid to those with 90%. Almost 10% of the freshman class is scholarship calibre, and, this will raise the academic tone of the University. Bursaries are welcome for students with a 60 - 74% average, and he expressed his thanks to the Auxiliary for the provision of the two bursaries. Dr. J. Ray Houser, President of the Faculty of Theology, said. "You give us dollars but when are you going to send us your sons?" Getting more young men into the Seminary is the crux of the Seminary's development. Dr. Houser expressed his gratitude to the Auxiliary for assistance in building up the library; and endorsed. Dr. Villaume's remarks about the necessity for more books. Dr. Henry Endress, University Vice-President and. Director of University Resources, gave a report on the progress achieved so far in preparing a filmstrip for Auxiliary promotion. The filmstrip will be entitled "Willing Hearts and. Hands". The cost of producing 24 copies of the filmstrip will be $500, and he appealed for financial assistance from the assembly. Several photographs were taken during the meeting in the Auditorium and at other points on the campus, to include in the filmstrip. -1-
