V. Erskine's Purpose
The purpose of Erskine College should be to provide sound training in a campus environment where evangelical Christian influence is supreme and pervasive. The role of the church-sponsored college is the distinctive one of relating academic disciplines to the Christian realities of faith and responsible selfhood.At the same time, there must be intellectual stimulation and open dialogue; and creative individualism should be fostered. The basic premise of education ought to be that the goals of education are to open the mind and the heart to truth, to teach one to think Biblically and objectively and to give direction to daily life. "In Thy light shall we see light."As an arm of the Church, Erskine College exists to enlarge and help sustain the mission of the Church. It exists, primarily, for the benefit of its students. Their interests must be paramount and their individual and collective needs a matter of continuing concern. Erskine's goal must be to afford them the opportunity and encouragement to integrate knowledge and moral values in the development of the highest and best use of their abilities. A primary objective of the College should be to guide the student into the development of a mature faith within a Christian system of values which defines contemporary pressures in their true light and which is staunchly resistant to the impersonality and relativism of our time. Erskine's ultimate objective for every student must be the gaining of an understanding of the truth that "man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever."
