THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY OF WATERLOO LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY The 1971 Annual Meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of W.L.U. was held in the Theatre Auditorium on Wednesday, September 29. Mrs. Chapman, president, called the meeting to order at 10.00 a.m., and introduced Mr. Gilbert Scharf, senior seminarian, who conducted the devotions, and Mrs, Ellen Childress who played the piano for hymns which were sung. Mr. Scharf chose as his text St. Matthew chapter 7, verse 7: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you". Ask; seek; knock. Mr. Scharf said that we should sense the movement and excitement in these three words and use them in our journey through life. Mrs. Chapman welcomed the members to the meeting, also the representative of the Women's Association, Mrs. Lloyd Schaus, Dr. Frank C. Peters, President of W.L.U. brought greetings from the University. He informed us that W.L.U. has the highest student-teacher ratio in Canada, and that more classrooms and teachers are needed. He reported that definite plans have been made for a Students' Athletic Centre to be built on campus, to be completed in 1972. In connection with the 60th Anniversary of the Seminary, an Anniversary Booklet is being prepared and will be ready in October. Dr. Delton J. Glebe, Dean of the Seminary, in this 60th Anniversary year of the Seminary, spoke of the tradition of support given by the Auxiliary through these years, without which the Seminary would have lost hope. Mrs. Fred Stahlschmidt, the first president of the Auxiliary, was welcomed with a standing ovation.
