EDITORIAL. IT is with much pleasure that we present this, the first edition of ' ' The Gem, to the students and friends of Taylor University. While the book is limited to our own college and to our own college life and must, of necessity, be much like other college publications, yet we claim many new features for our book. Having no occasion to roast anj- of the Professors, and not having any serious objections to the general management of the school, the Senior Class has not published this book as a medium through which to give vent to low, degrading criticisms and venomous remarks, but it has been published because they desired something which they could keep as a memento of their college life, and which they might give to their friends that thej ' too might have some idea of what Taylor University is like. The committee, not believing that thej- were appointed for this work that they might have an opportunity to get even with anj ' against whom they might have some grudge, or who do not fully measure up to their idea of a perfect man, have earnestly strived to publish onlj- such things as shall be a credit to our noble class and to the College which we have chosen as our ALMA MATER. In this book will the reader find no joke that contains a stinger, no arrow that is dipped in poison, but all is pure, clean and whole- some.

There were less than seventy-five students, but even this small jiumber was as large as could well be accommodated. Now the building and grounds alone are valued at more than |;,i2,fKX), and the students number upwards to two hundred and fifty. As will be seen in the description of the various departments, the laboratories are well equipped, and nearlj ' all the apparatus needed for the present number of students is at hand. In addition to the school here in Upland we have what no other Methodist College in America can boast of having, nameU-, an Associate College in Japan known as The Chnizei Gakwau. This school is the largest Methodist School in Japan and last year two Japanese students in this school received the diplomas of Tajdor University, while three very promising young people will receive diplomas at the close of this school year. The future of the school is very bright. Under the management of Dr. T. C. Reade, our beloved president, the school has not onl} ' been brought to
