Ellen G. White: The Later Elmshaven Years: 1905-1915 (vol. 6)

A Visit To Pacific Union College

On Tuesday, March 8, although not feeling well, Ellen White went to Pacific Union College to join a group of about twenty-five workers and members who had been invited to come to the school and become acquainted with developments there. The group had arrived the afternoon before and had looked over some of the more general features of the plant and listened to presentations made by the president, C. W. Irwin, and some of the teachers. They found that, in harmony with the counsel given through the Spirit of Prophecy down through the years, a strong industrial program was in operation, with students dividing their time between study and manual labor. Students were found with skills in engineering, blacksmithing, electrical work, the handling of horses, orchard care, the felling of heavy timber, poultry care, gardening, and cooking. 6BIO 292.5

Ellen White spoke encouraging words to the inspecting group. She was pleased with the accomplishments at the college (WCW to AGD, March 13, 1910). 6BIO 293.1
