. . our Seventh-day Adventist center for health education, is by design an institution which prepares future church leaders. Professional training and evangelistic activities at CME equip students for soul-saving service in the church. Following are some of the church-centered ac- tivities in which they engage:

* Bible studies (400 given by students in 1958-59)

* Summer dental clinic group of 30 stu- dents to southern Mexico

' Singing groups to hospitals, jails, shut- ins, etc.

* Discussion groups on overseas and home mission service, religions of the world, fundamental doctrine, etc.

Dental students set up crude laboratory in southern Mexico to serve needs of populace. This type of ex- perience during student sojourn at CME sparks de- sire and dedication to service wherever God may direct.

Today's students are tomorrow's alumni. In contrast to physician alumni distribution that predominates in medical schools — or probably for every other educational institution — 46 per cent of CME School of Medicine alumni are located outside the state of California. (Neighboring University of Southern California says that only 11 per cent of its medical alumni are practicing out of California.)

Both distribution of alumni (four times the number outside the home state when expressed in percentages) and the spiritual emphasis that characterizes CME indicate a continuing dedication to emulate the Master. C/W - — Aay 28
