Sign on DuPont Company property in Arden Hills that reads, "Explosives Keep Off No Trespassing or Shooting E.I. DuPont DeNemours & Co., Inc." It was used to store dynamite until Bethel bought it for the new campus. The sign intrigued President Lundquist so much that he adopted a new motto for Bethel; to be an "explosive" community for the gospel of Christ.
