420 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION
First Magnitude Organizations—The following B.S.U. organizations were
on the First Magnitude Honor Roll for 1944-45, having successfully met all
points of the Standard of Requirements. The revised Standard, put into use
last year, is more difficult than the old Standard, therefore the schools attaining
First Magnitude are to be heartily congratulated.

In Gratitude—Grateful for the obvious favor of God upon our work the
foregoing report is submitted. To recapitulate, the most significant progress
made in the year's work has been: first, in the increased number of students
enlisted on local campuses and in the churches adjacent thereto, (more and
more students are taking their church letter from the home church and joining
outright the church at the college center); second, the increased number of
fuh-time student religious secretaries that have been employed for local
campuses, for statewide work, and in the Southwide department; third, the
progress being made m providing student centers as headquarters for B.S.U.
work on local campuses and for the city-wide work; fourth, the increased opportunity
and accompanying responsibility for the enlarged student bodies on
the campuses throughout the South. We face the coming year with high spirit
and abiding gratitude.
