Excerpts from the article:

Manchester College.....has contributed approximately one-half of its more than 9,000 graduates to the teaching and school administration field.

....This outstanding institution of higher learning surrounds students with opportunities for full development -- intellectual, religious, moral, artistic, physical and social.

Funderburg Library, pride of the 1,400 students at Manchester College was dedicated last October.  Built at a cost of $1 million, the new facility houses 150,000 volumes and has a seating capacity for 500 students, half of them in individual study carrels.

The Manchester College Union, built about 2 years ago, is the center of much of the student activity on campus of the liberal arts college located about 35 miles southwest of Fort Wayne in the town of North Manchester.

Petersime Chapel......It houses an 80-seat chapel, individual meditation rooms, a committee room, lounge, office for the minister and a secretary's office.  It was built about four years ago.
