Faodtg W. E. Taylor, Ph. D., President. Born and reared in Kentucky. Graduated at Clinton College, Purdue University — the Indiana State School of Technology. After spending eight years in the West, most of the time as Instructor of Sciences in the Nebraska State Nor¬ mal, he entered the University of Chicago, taking graduate work for three years. He has been connected with the Industrial Institute for ten years—eight as teacher of Biology and two as President. While in Nebraska engaged in scientific research work he pre¬ pared several Bulletins for the State Board of Agriculture. He has also prepared twelve or fifteen scientific monographs published in American Naturalist, American Geologist, Proceedings of United States National Museum, Reports of United States Department of Fish and Fisheries, and other publications. While a student at the University of Chicago he edited Progress, a monthly magazine issued by the University Extension Department of the World’s Congress of Religions. Mr. Taylor was engaged to plan this magazine for use in organization of local clubs for study. Fifteen thousand subscribers were obtained the first year. Subsequent edi¬ tors of this magazine were Dr. Buckley of University of Chicago, and Dr. Richard T. Ely of University of Wisconsin. The World To- Day, the monthly, is an outgrowth of “Progress,” and is edited by Dr. Buckley. During nine succeeding summers Mr. Taylor has engaged in sum¬ mer school work in Louisiana. C. H.
