EDITORIAL ) the faculty, trustees, alumni and students of our University, to the college world in general, and to friends of education every- wliere, the Class of 1901 presents with pleasure, the present issue of the Gem. The silent but steady evolution of our college man- agement, the wonderful improvements made since the last appearance of the Gem, the magnificent success which has attended all our efforts, the grand prospects for future growth, and above all, the changes yet to be made in order that our University may attain its proper position, we realize are subjects worthy of our highest literary endeavor. Concerning the nature of the publication which we present for your consideration we deem it necessary- to saj- but little. The Gem, as an es- tablished part of our college literature has become so fixed in its character that the mere mention of the name informs the reader what he is to expect. In this connection we would say that the editors have not considered them- selves a self-appointed board of correction, whose duty it is to super -ise the general administration of the University, but the purpose of this publication is to bring about a better understanding between the faculy and students on the one hand, and the trustees and alumni on the other. Many events of importance to the University mark the period that has intervened since the publication of the ' 98 Gem. The increased attendance at the colleges and universities of this country during the past two years, ac- counted for, no doubt, by the fact that the desire for an advanced education has been stimulated during the closing years of the nineteenth centurj ' by the increasing zeal and earnestness manifested in scientific research ; and the general advance observed in all institutions of learning, has nowhere been more manifest than in Taylor University. New theories have been advanced, new methods have been put in operation, and many errors deeply buried un- der the obsolete investigations of the past have been disclosed. The best methods of teaching — not only giving abundance of facts, but also stimulat- ing the desire for personal research — have been adopted. Wliile Taylor has kept to the front in educational lines, yet the knowledge that an educated intellect alone is detrimental to the possessor and the world in general, un- less backed by a character worthy of emulation, has been so riveted upon the minds and hearts of the management of the I ' niversit}-, that equal attention is given to the development of the higher, the spiritual nature of her stu- dents. As trees are to be judged by their fruits, so colleges mu.st be judged, not by their buildings and equipment, but by the men and women who go out from under the fostering care of their Alma Mater.
