Phineas F. Bresee A PRINCE IN ISRAEL By E. A. Girvin CHAPTER 22 The Bible College and University -- The Missionary Interests -- The Work in India -- Some Remarkable Providences -- A Pentecost in Calcutta The Bible College And University I will necessarily devote considerable space to the University in subsequent chapters, but in this connection, I deem it appropriate to give Dr. Bresee's own account of the origin and growth of that institution. "The need of special educational help for young men and women who were called specifically to this work, became apparent. Men and women were coming from other churches and taking part in the battle; but among the young people who were converted and brought into the church were those whom God called into pastoral, missionary and evangelical work, and who needed further training for efficient service. In the providence of God, some property was offered which would make the beginning of a Bible College a possibility. Because of the many duties which already devolved upon me, I was slow to take up this department of work. Encouraged, however, by Brother Ruth, the matter was taken up and adjusted, and arrangements made for the opening of the school, which took place in the autumn of 1902, thus preparing the way for the final incorporation of the institution known as the Nazarene University and Deets Pacific Bible College. This school was carried on under my general supervision, Miss Leora Maris being principal for several years. After a time it was found necessary to add another department, and an academy was opened under the principalship of Miss Cora Snyder. This was carried on until the latter part of 1910. Among those who taught in this school up to that time were Rev. C. W. Ruth, Rev. Isaiah Reed, Rev. A. L. Whitcomb, Rev. C. V. LaFontaine, Mrs. Alice P. Baldwin, Mrs. Lily D. Bothwell, Brother Leslie F. Gay, Miss Bessie Wood, Mrs. Annie T. Armour, Rev. B. E. Sherwin, Rev. P. E. Ryland, Dr. F. A. Seymour, Miss E J Kellogg, and Mrs. A. F. McReynolds. "In 1909, Rev. W. W. Danner was called to be principal of the institution, and served for one year. This school did excellent service, and turned out some young men and women who have made their mark in Christian work in the church. "It was during this period that Brother Jackson Deets, of Upland, became much interested in the college, and felt that larger opportunities were a necessity to its growth; that we must have a place for better and more commodious buildings. For this purpose he gave the institution $30,000, with which a campus of about nine acres was bought. It was a beautiful location, between Los Angeles and Hollywood. "Toward the latter part of 1908, a very serious matter occurred, which threatened the life of the Bible College, and serious injury to the church. Through a misunderstanding, a schism took place, which carried with it some of the teachers of the Bible College and many members of the First church, who seceded from the church, and organized an independent mission. But through the good providence of God, the church was sheltered from ultimate serious harm, and the matter
