respond tothe call of his church and the friends of his youth to return to Illinois to build from the foundation to the tower a modern university. These first five years have amply confirmed the public judgment of his adtministraztfive powers. Hzis untirinfg energy and great zeal are the admira- tion of all. The administrative duties of the president of the The James Millikin University are exacting, yet Dr. Taylor finds time to teach ten hours per week, and to lecture extensively throughout the state. Since coming to Illin-ois, he has served or is serving as president of the following organiza- tions: 'The State Sunday School Association, The Illinois College Federa- tion, The College Section of the State Teachers' Association. The Universi- ty Club of Decatur, and The Elducaitional Commission of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. In 1890 Dr. Taylor was president of the National Council of Education, the most important educational body in our country. President Taylor mariried Miss Minerva Dent of Wenona, Illinois, who fs in entire sympathy with him in his Christian and educational work, und lives in the hearts of his friends as his peer. Their home has always been open to the stud-ents, to whom it is an ideal of hospitality and re- finement. They have two daughters, Mrs. Allen S. Newman of Emporia, Kansas, and Miss Kittie M. of Decatur, who has been active in University circles. Docto-r Tayloir is a man of warm personal attachments. His affections are knit to family, friends, students and his work. All his purposes seem to be formed in the spirit of helpfulness and thoughfulness. To the stu- dents he is counselor and confidant, their advisor in difficulties, their helper in every legitimate ambition. Governing without set rules, he appeals to the highest instincts of honor. Severe he can be when severity is needed, but in his severity there is an intuitive sympathy and an abiding hope that acts as an appeal. His faith in the ultimate triumph of the right cannot be shaken. He has oftern written. There is no longing of a nioble soul that hath not somewhere its satisfaction. VVhen others de- spair, he hopes and labors on: others may retire in defeat. but he knows how to win a victory from defeat. His pride in the University. its clean- liness, its strength, and its walls of brick and stone, is always strung. hut never so marked as is his pride in the clean hearts and pure minds of the young men and women of his flock in whose mental and spiritual develop- ment he finds his supremest joy. 1 S. 23
