BISHOP WILLIAM TAYLOR STAFF OF LE FLEURON (The Gem: EDITORIAL IN THE forward march of the world the time has come when the Class of 1905 feel that they must supply the demanding need of the literary world by the publication of another College bi-ennial. Duty has knocked at the door of our conscience, and said : ' ' Give to humanity another ' Gem. ' ' ' Whether it has been decreed from the fovTndation of the world by fixed and inexorable laws that we should be the recipients of this great pleasure and honor, or whether we, by our own voluntary act, took the tide at its flood which has led us into this haven of for- tune, it is not our jiurpose to settle ; but one thing we do know, the task is before us, and with this realization, we advance with the steady tread of a conqueror. One of the greatest problems with which the twentieth century is confronted, is the Law of Supply and Demand. The proper adjust- ment of this law would be one of the greatest achievements known to the human race. This law is not confined to the political, economical or material relations of life only, as some might think, but it relates to the intellectual, spiritual, moral, and other phases of life as well. And the greatest folk of any age are they who come most nearly to fulfilling the conditions for the proper adjustment of this law. He is not a man who lives surrovmded by his accumulated millions, still striving to hoard all that which is possible for him to get, and turning a deaf ear to a hungry multitude crying for a few fishes and some bread to satisfy their need. He may walk upright as a man and wear the vesture of a man, but in his breast beats the heart of a beast. He is not a man who conceals himself in some monastery of learning and there feeds continually his voracious appetite for intellectual de- velopment on the delicious truths of knowledge, and refuses to take time to give to the world the benefit of his already acquired mental wealth. Though he may have acquired all the combined knowledge of the Grecian Philosophy and have penetrated the profoundest depths of modern science, yet he lacks the requisites of a man. He could be called a person of knowledge, but not a man of wisdom. He is not a man who ever drinks at the living fountain and eats the heavenly manna, and fails to go out to tell a restless world of the source of eternal joy and peace. We light the world only as our light reaches others; we are the salt of the earth only as we become the saving agencies of it; we are worth to the world only what we give to it. Never in the history of the world was the need for true manhood greater than at the present. Polities, in its corruption, is calling for men with clear brains and large hearts, to liberate it from the terrible cesspools of its pollution. Commerce is asking for men of honesty and integrity to manage her busy affairs and to guide the wheels of her rapid progress. Eeligion, tainted v ith doubt, skepticism, higher-criti- cism, and fo rmality, is demanding men with acute intellects, tender consciences, and pure hearts, to exhibit and rightly preach the truths taught by the Man of Galilee. And we are proud of the fact that our University is one among the few universities which sends out persons who supply the needs above mentioned. That is, they have not only a trained head, but also a trained heart. Taylor University is free from those vices which generally attend larger institutions of learning. We are glad we have had the privilege of attending such a university as ours, whose motto is ' ' plain living and high thinking, ' ' and now that the time has come for the Class of 1905 to leave her walls, we deem it a privilege to present the ' ' Gem ' ' to the faculty, trustees, alumni and fel- low students, hoping that all who read its pages may be inspired to be true representatives of our beloved Alma Mater. EDITOES. fef H. MARIA WRIGHT LITERARYTHALL TAYLOR UNIVERSITY LOCATION AND HEALTH IN CHOOSING a school, from among the hundreds scattered over our land, a very important consideration is the healthfuluess of the location. We mean physical healthfulness. It is unnecessary to say that the moral and spiritual atmosphere of the institution of learning is everything. No matter how magnificent the equipment, or how able the instructors, if there is poison in the religious and moral teachings of the school, it should be shunned as a pest house would be. There are institutions, called colleges and universities, which utterly ignore the spiritual element, or even do worse than that. Of other schools, of which this cannot be truthfully said, there are all degrees of spiritual good from the highest down to the vanishing point. Taylor University has always stood among the very highest in this respect. But we started out to speak of physical healthfulness. Certainly no young person would wish to go to school in a locality where the atmos- phere was poisoned with malaria or where the drainage, or absence of drainage, was such as to make the conditions hostile to health and vigor. Everybody remembers reading of the dreadful scourge of typhoid fever which swept through one of the largest universities of the State of New York one or two years ago. It was the poorest possible advertisement that the university covild have had. How many hundreds of students were thereby turned aside to other institutions, no one can tell. We are confident that no institution is better situated in regard to sanitary conditions than Taylor University. It is situated on the highest land in all this part of the State of Indiana — the highest between Columbus and Chicago. Healthful breezes sweep over the Campus and University Extension from all quarters. Pure air and pure water and a safe dis- position of sewerage are the possessions of Taylor University. We are not drawing on our fancies for what we have said. The United States Health Bulletin publishes the following: The United States Health Bulletin has had occasion to examine into this subject quite extensively ; and if some of the facts that have come to our notice during these investigations were generally known, we believe that prosi3ective patrons would be shocked at the unsanitary and disease-breeding conditions existing at some of the highest-priced and most fashionable schools. ' ' These investigations have been made without the instigation of the proprietors ' and generally without their knowledge, consequently they are absolutely unbiased and unprejudiced. ' ' Among the schools that met with the general approval of the experts investigating these matters for us, and which we have no hesi- tancy in recommending to our readers, is the Taylor University, Upland, Ind. ' ' We know nothing about the course of study at this chool, for it is of no interest to us, but if the same care is taken with mental welfare of pupil as is shown, and plainly shown, to be taken with the physical, we feel that it deserves the support of parents and encouragement of the public. ' ' Are the days of Dotheboys Hall so long past that parents can trust their children ' s future to the care of strangers without the most search- ing investigation? REV. CHARLES W. WINCHESTER, D. D. The President of Taylor Uuiversity was born in Westminster, Vt., anil was converted at the early age of fonrteen. Preparation for college was made at Springfield, Vt., and he was graduated from Genesee Col- lege, now Syracuse University, in the class of 1867. After graduation he taught at Fairfield, Herkimer County, N. Y., and at Cazenovia, N. Y. -:p%, In 1869 he reeeived his first license to preach, and joined the East (lenesee Conference in the State of New York in 1870. After reorgan- ization and consolidation of Conferences, and after changes of boundaries his work fell in what is now the Genesee Conference. From that time until Jau: 1,3, 1904, when he began his duties as President of Taylor University, he was a tireless worker within the bounds of the Conference, lie was pastor of some of our best churches. He served Corning Dis- trict, Genesee Conference, as Presiding Elder from 1891 to 1897. T find by consulting the Minutes of the Conference that the membership of the District increased during his term of office, notwithstanding re- movals and deaths, from 6,734, when he began his work, to 8,393, when his term expired. There was an increase in the amount given for mis- sions during his presiding eldership over the preceding six years of $4,756.00 and an increase in all the regular benevolent collections of .$6,3.54.00. He closed his last annual report to the Conference by saying: ' ' May the motto, ' Holiness to the Lord, ' burn at the head of the marching columns of the District, till its brightness shall illumine every congregation, class, Sunday School, League, home and heart witliin her bounds. ' ' Dr. Winchester sat in the General Conference of 1896 and was a delegate to the Methodist Aecumenical Conference held at Washington in October, 1891. He ' as the efficent secretary of his Conference for eleven consecu- tive years and then his duties as Presiding Elder necessitated the elec- tion of another man. In 1902 he was appointed Conference evangelist. After assisting a number of churches during the fall and winter of 1902-3 in revival work, he was elected editor of the Buffalo Christian Uplook, and was occupied in that work when elected by the Board of Trustees of Taylor University as President of the University. Since he began his duties here as President, he has been invited to preach in a large number of pulpits of the North Indiana and other Conferences, and was invited to transfer his membership to the North Indiana Conference by a rising vote. Last summer he spent about six weeks in visiting camp meetings, and representing the various phases of the work done here in the University. He has written three books, ' ' The Wells of Salvation, The Victories of Wesley Castle ' ' and ' ' The Gospel of Foreign Travel, ' ' all of which we recommend to the students, patrons and friends of the ITni- versity, as books well worthy of perusal. Dr. Winchester is an interesting and instructive preacher. He has finalities of mind of a high order. He believes in a pure morality, in the best intellectual culture and in the highest standard of New Testament piety. He will do his utmost to place Taylor University in the front rank of educational institutions. Let us all co-operate with him in all his efforts to build up the cause of education and religion, and God will surely crown our efforts with abundant success. JOHN H. SHILLING in mpmnrtam RKV. JOHN H. SHILLING was born in Palestine, Incl., Jan. 14, 1872. He was reared in a Christian liome and was ronverted in rhildhciod. TTntil tlie j ear 1895, lie was a monilier of the Calvin- istic clmrch. At tliis time he united with the M. E. fhurt ' h and in the same year was licensed to preach. In 1S98 he was ordaine l local deacon and later received elder ' s orders. Prof. Shilling was one of the first students to enter Taylor Uni- versity after its removal to Upland in 1893, coming here from Man- Chester C ollege. He was gTachiated from Taylor University in 1895, reeeivino ' the degree of Ph. B. While a student, he had a long sickness, almost breaking down in health. Determined to have an education, he went to Georgia, where he could study and at the same time build up his eonstitutli-n. Here he remained two years, comjileting the theological course in Gamman Theological Seminary, Atlanta, receiving the B. D. degree. Tn 1896-97 he was Instructor in Vocal Music in Gammon an l Clark University and President of Demorest, Ga., Summer Normal Seliool. In 18 97 he returned to Taylor University to bcM ' omc Pro1Vss n- of Theology and Dean of the Theological Department. In June, 19111. he was elected to the Vice-Presidency of the University. Pi-csiih ' ut Reade ' s failing health made it necessary for Professor Shilling to per- form many of the functions of President. After the death of Dr. Reade in July, 1902, Dr. Sliilling became acting President, serving in this difficult position until June, 1903, when, at his own recpiest, the trustees gave him leave of absence for one or two years for advanced studies in Semitic languages and related subjects in Drew Theological Seminary and Columbia University. While attending school there he served a pastorate at Hilton, N. J. After graduating in June, 1904, from Drew he took a pastorate at Dingman ' s Ferry, Pa., at the same time pursuing special work in oratory in New York City. He was holding special re- vival meetings on tliis charge when he was suddenly taken ill. He was removed to the hospital at Port Jarvis, N. Y., where he died Nov. 21, •1904, aged .32 years, 10 months and 7 days. Prof. Shilling was a tireless worker. While teaching in Taylor University he pursued courses of study leading to the following degrees: A. B., A. M., Ph. D. and S. T. D. He was faithful as a teacher in the class room and as an administrative officer surpassed the expeetaticni of his friends. He was the personification of jiush and punctuality. He was rarely late to any engagement and never put of till tomorrow the duties of today. In undertaking any enterprise his characteristic expression was, It has to go; we ' ll make it go. Tn his busy life he found time to drink at the poet ' s fountain and listen to the Muses. He has written a number of poems of commendable merit, among which are, Ruth, Broken But Not Off, Wiien I Consider the Heavens, Gammon Hall, The Old Ilarii, The Departed, ' ' etc. On Commencement Day, June, 1899, there occurred in Literary Society Hall of Taylor University a very beautiful ceremony. It was a double wedding, in which John H. Shilling was united in marriage to Miss Mary Snead and John L. Hoover to Miss Osee Snead, Dr. Reaile officiating. Mrs. Shilling has one child, Charles Wesley, three years ohl, to comfort her in her widowhood. Why a man of such promise should l)e thus cut off just when his preparation for life ' s work, for which ho toiled so faithfully with hand and brain, ' s complete, we cannot understand. But we believe that his knowledge and mental grasp obtahied in these years of study are not accoimtcd loss, either by hinisolf or the Great Teacher, as Professor Shilling now matriculates in Irs post-graduate course of study in the University of Heaven. B. W. AYRE5 B. W. AYRE5 BW. AYRES.— B. S., 1908, Taylor [Tniversity ; A. M., 1900, Tay- lor University; Ph. D., 1902, Taylor University. 1884, grad- nated from Hartford City High School; 1885-1888, stndent at DePaiiw University; 1888-1889, teacher in District School; 1889-1890 ' Superintendent of Eedkey High Schools ; 1890-1892, Superintendent of Moutpelier Schools; 1892-1893, Superintendent of Warren Schools; 1893- 1897, bookkeeper Dunkirk Lumber Co.; 1897-1902, Dean Normal Dei art- me-nt Taylor University; 1902-1905, Dean Taylor University. Professor Ayres, though he is familiarly known as the ' ' Dean ' ' and though he bears the title with grace and dignity, counts this not tlie highest of the titles he bears. Professor Ayres is pre-eminently the teacher and the erudite counselor. No student ever sat under him in class in recent years who did not declare him to be a most excellent in- structor. Let him be announced as its teacher, and almost any class would at once become popular at Taylor. This results from the fact that he is teaching, not for money, nor through mere accident, but be- cause he loves the profession. He clothes it with the dignity it deserves and makes the class room a place for the inculcating of life principles in civic equity, social duty and Christian brotherhood. Incidentally, though purposely and from the bottom of his Puritanic heart, he espouses the cause of party Prohibition. In this, as in every- thing else, he is candid and forceful. He shows the highest marks of the teacher in that he so teaches and lives that his life is grafted into the life of the student, and thus he is becoming a power through tlie world. Surely this is meat and drink and sound consolation to him, for it will merit God ' s approbation at the end. A. R. ARCHIBALD 1888, Wilberhaiii Aeademy ; 18S3, A. B., Boston University; 188(3, S. T.

Professor Archibald is a man of true devotion and deep piety, and manifests a great interest in the work of his department. His unswerv- ing adherence to the principles of justice and untiring fidelity in incul- cating the highest principles of character into the hearts and minds of the students, are worthy of praise.

Afterward he entered and graduated from the Boston School of Theology, receiving the degree of S. T. B.

In 1876 he became pastor in the Genesee Conference, of which he has been a member ever since. In the Conference he has taken a high rank. For ten years he held the diflScult and honorable office of Stat ' stical Secretary. When he ac- cepted his ijresent position he was just finishing his sixth year as pastor at Castile, Wyoming County, New York. Among his old friends he has the reputation of being solid gold.

An original, inventive organizer of means and forces, he multiplies the five loaves and two fishes through co-operation and fills the bas- kets with the fragments. With the devotion of a Pestalozzi, he is striv- ing to solve the problem of self-help for industrious students, and to teach that, with intelligence and conscience to guide, the work of hand and of brain are equally divine. Practical education and practical Chris- tianity are his ideals. His transparent honesty makes him loved by all who are without hypocrisy. EDWARD E.

Senior Class History HOMER dipped his pen in living flame and wrote the victories of the Dardanians. Demosthenes immortalized his name by hurl- ing Philippics against the despotic tyrant of the north. Virgil, Herodotus, Plutarch and others emblazoned their names on the sky of literary renown. My star portended that some day I would achieve something extraordinary and be enrolled among the famous. At length that greatness has been thrust upon me; not to unbind Prometheus or to kill Zeus, but — to write the history of the Class of 1905. Other historians wrote of heroes on the war-path; of fiery chargers; of battle-field stained with gore and resonant with shouts of victory. Inundated by the inspiration of our task we dip our pen in the fire of living deeds and endeavor to faintly portray the noble class of 1905. It would swell ' ' Le Fleuron ' ' to enormous proportions to chronicle the individual achievements of our class, so it will be necessary to contract the prolixity of our record, in order to leave a fraction of space for the historians of those struggling beneath us. ' Tis an honorable and pleasant task to write this history ; but I deem it almost needless, for we are living epistles known and read of all men — a terror to idlers and a credit to those who do well. From noble ancestors we sprang ; from various historic lands we came. Guided by an unerring hand through the vicissitudes of child- hood, we rustic sons of toil were led to enter as Freshmen this ren- dezvous of learning. Most of our members have waged war against ' ' the armed man, ' ' poverty, and wielded triumphant arms, overcoming financial embarrass- ment, by working with our hands in holidays and after hours, perform- ing Iiumble tasks with a faithfulness that would honor the highest station in the world. Giving preference to our ladies, we have those in our class who have carried off the laurels in musical contests, both vocal and instru- mental; those who can manipulate every conceivable variation from the whippoor-will to the nightingale. We also have the first graduate from the Oratorical Department, who many times has carried off the laurels ; her fame has spread through all the borders. In our class are those who have won the sheepskin insignia of classic diligence and philosophic toil ; persons, who, in their limited orbit, have shown with no small degree of brilliancy. If our class has ever been equalled, it has never been excelled. We represent every department of the University — Preachers, Musicians, School-teachers, Bvisiness Men. We rejoice in our success, and in the prospects before us. Our sun has simply risen and has passed the ruby portals of an auspicious career. To the summit of the mount of erudition there is no royal road ; alike the peer and peasant must climb to his abode. With this in mind, we baffled discouragements and adhered to our motto : ' ' Heights of great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. ' ' I dare not intrude by predicting the future, but with the past as a background, I see an inspiring task for the seer. Senior Class Roll AERASMITH, M. P.

Senior Class Poem When Night ' s sable curtain is lifted, Eevealing the dawn of day ; When the m ' st and darkness of even ' ug, Have i assed from the earth away ; When the snn with its glorious power Brightens the eastern sky ; And tints of gold like wealth untold Light up the clouds on high — ' Tis then that the sleeping earth Takes on new power and life, And busy man, with strength renewed, Begins the toil and strife. So thus with each new dawning, Come chances for weal or woe; We may win or lose by the way we choose, As the moments come and go. O, worthy class of Taylor U., O, Seniors of nineteen five; The day is all before you, Aim high and nobly strive. Commeucen-ent is the dawning Of the day of active life ; And heights atta ' ned but power gained, For the battle and tlie strife. Press onward, forward, uiiward, The heights are still before; The day dawn is behind you, And its sun will rise no more. Strive for the best and noblest. Be worthy of Taylor ' s halls ; Until it be told like Sparta of old, That men are her castle walls. Class of 1906 Motto : Habes quod petiste tote uieute. Colors: Nile green and pink. OFFICERS.

History of the Junior Class IN TTTE middle of September, 1902, a class entered the halls of Taylor T ' liivcrsity which Yas even then remarkable for the strength, intellectual attainments and Christian character of its members. Through the great trials of the Freshman year in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, we strode with uneciualed jjerseverance and skill, nothing daunted by the keenness of Professor Duncan, the dignity of Professor Pyne, or the incisiveuess of Professor Smith. Our Freshmanic greenness won the hearts of all the faculty, so that our faults were overlooked an d our good ciualities eulogized. Tu the Sophomore year the class of Naughty Six did not display the usual i)omposity and arrogance which, we are sorry to say, characterizes so many Sophojnore classes. But in humbleness of mind and meekness of spirit, yet not without a certain confidence in our ability, we at- tacked the great problems which came to us and invariably marched through to victory. As we canu to the third year of our college life, we began to realize how little we knew in comparison with the knowledge of the world and how much there was to learn. This flred us with new zeal and enthusiasm to make the Junior year count more than any of the others in the knowl- edge gained and the heights of glory reached. And so great has been our strides in the pathway of knowledge that our fame will be handed down til the remotest posterity in the annals of history. Junior Prophecy APEOPHECY ! The seer needs not an inspiration to foretell the future of such a class as this — the Junior. One needs but a glance to see that only success in all lines awaits it. Can we not tell by Mathews ' very strvit that he is cut out for a bishop ? And are not Hill ' s leanings toward ' ' the road ' ' the very es- sence of a railroad magnate? Then, too, what better indication of a successful mathematician than Carlson ' s energetic search for the evasive value of X? The inclinations of Bro. Parker, lovingly dubbed Beans, toward the fine art of cookery will certainly place him in no lesser place than chief chef of Delmonicos. The studious habits of ' ' young Ayres ' ' point unmistakably to a Dean Ayres the Second, ' ' the living picture of his pa. ' ' Miss Southernland will, of course, realize her pet ambition of nursing. As for Miss Christman, she will also realize her ambition, and within a year sail as missionary to sunny Africa. Brothers Brewer and Ballinger will certainly make strenuous anti-saloon league speakers, and as for a linguist to be proud of, Bro. Pierson will fill the bill, for besides speaking his own, his native tongue, he is able to say ' ' Pass me the syrup ' ' in three different languages. The great dignity and learning of Miss Hudnutt will make her an excellent matron of a girls ' school, where she will successfvilly lead young members of the fair sex along the flowery path of knowledge. Eev. Worth we plainly see pastor of a flourishing charge, and his owlish inclinations — being so fond of Knight — without doubt, portend for that gentleman wisdom of a very ponderous character. Then the hand of prophecy points with pride to another clergyman, Mr. Shatzman, who, if anything should happen to his schedule, would make a fit leader of a foot-ball team. Miss Zimmer, accomplished, but unselfish, will decide to sail for Africa, there to en- lighten the dusky natives in musical matters. It perhaps is unnecessary to mention that Miss Zimmer will not embark alone. And then, forsooth, with what pleasure we foretell the careers that await Messrs. Ford and Heiniger. Such religious zeal as is shown by these young men leads us to say without hestancy, ' ' cowboy evangelists, of course. ' ' Then the faithful work done by Mr. Stelle on the campus and ' ' that mile to town ' ' for Uncle Sam will ' certainly never go unrewarded; and me thinks I can see him in the dim future filling the official position of postmaster- general of the United States. And in this procession of shining lights Miss Martha Speicher comes before me. She is a Greek teacher in an Eastern Seminary and happy in the teaching of her favorite language. The medical ambitions and re- markable oratorical ability of Mr. Wilson will make up that rare pro- duction, the successful patent-medicine man. Success to ' ' Wallie. ' ' Then what more indicative of the making of a servant girl than Miss Conklin ' s industry, meekness and perseverance. And as for a debater, look at Ray- mond Graig. A veritable politician in embryo. Garland Whitehead we predict to blossom out into the captain of a crack base-ball team some- where in Kentucky. As for Miss Parker, one can tell with half an eye that she will be a stunning success as a minister ' s wife, officiating in that capacity with zeal and enthusiasm. For Brother Smith, hailing from the wild and wooly West, we f orsee a missionary ' s life among the red men. And then there is our friend Graff, who, if we cannot prophesy with certainty, we sliall liope will be the chief electrician to install an electric system in Taylor U. And last and least is the seer, who we are sure will . not be one thing, anyway — a shining light as a literary success. As for what he will become, his many ambitions make it difficult to tell, so we leave it to the future. And now with the telling of the careers of this extraordinary class, the feather of the prophet wearies, and we cease that the reader may turn the pake and descend from the sublime to the commonplace, so to sjieak. In closing we wish to say for the benefit of the various prodigies named herein, that it was not their true ambitions and ideals, but little foibles and excentricities which suggested a slightly posssil:)le rather than a probable future. 7-  } THE OBSERVATORY The Observatory VISITOE: There stands a rather unique building. What is it? Student : ' ' That is the Observatory. ' ' Visitor: Observatory? Astronomical Observatory? What kind of telescope is in it? Student: It is fitted with a 10% inch reflector. If you desire I will find the professor who has charge of it, and you may see for yom ' - self. Visitor : ' ' Thank you, I shall be very glad to see it. ' ' {The professor arrives and they enter the building.) Visitor: How long ago was it installed? Professor: It was installed in the spring of 1898. For this we are indebted to the late Dr. C. L. Clippinger, the students of that year, and to the people of this community. ' ' Visitor : ' ' This has the appearance of a very good instrument. What will it do ? ' ' Professor : I can show you more easily than T can tell you. ' ' Visitor : ' ' But the stars can not be seen in sunlight. ' ' Professor (adjusting the polarizer): No, but surely you re- member that this is the period of maximum sun spots, and we may be able to see some of them now. Yes, here is a fine group of them. Look. ' ' Visitor : ' ' Yes, I can see them but they are not distinct. ' ' Professor : ' ' Then the instrument is not focused properly for your eye. Readjust it. ' ' Visitor : ' ' Oh, yes, now they are very distinct. They remind one of openings in the mantel of an incandescent gas lamp. ' ' Professor : ' ' Yes, and that suggests the idea of their time nature. Now, if you will meet me here at dark this evening I will show you some sights still more sublime. ' ' Visitor : ' ' Thank you ; I shall not miss such an opportunity as this. T shall be here soon after dark. ' ' (They retire and come again at the stated time.) Professor: We will first examine the moon. Visitor : ' ' But this is not ' full moon. ' Would it not appear better in time of full moon ? ' ' Professor : ' ' No. It is better in the first or last quarter when the light of the sun falls obliquely upon the visible part so as to throw shadows of the mountains. Now look. ' ' Visitor : ' ' How strange ! It looks qviite difl ' erent f rom its ordi- nary appearance. It resembles honey-comb. What are those rings which resemble the depressions in mud caused by dripping water? Professor : ' ' Those are called ' lunar craters, ' although they differ from craters of mountains on the earth in being wider and not nearly so high. Now I will put on an e.) e-piece of higher power. You have been looking through the eye-piece showing 50 diameters and we will try 500. Visitor : ' ' Oh, what a sight ! It seems that we are in speaking distance. Is it possible that this is one of the craters? Yes, I am sure it is, but this reveals a number of small peaks standing within the crater. ' ' Professor: Now let us turn the instrument a little and examine Venus, that brilliant planet a little lower than the moon. What do you see ' ? ' ' Visitor: That is extremely brilliant. It shows a crescent like that of the moon, but is much smaller. ' ' Professor: We will now turn it upon that reddish body just south of Venus. What do you see? Visitor : I see a large planet attended by one-two-three-four satelites. That must be Jupiter. I suppose the other three are too small to apjiear. ' ' Professor: Yes, these were found, not by direct vision, but by photography. I wish I might show you Saturn with his rings, but that is too near the sun at present. But look in the northern sky. Do you see a small dense portion of the ' Milky Way, ' a little more than 30 de- grees from the pole star? Vis ' tor: Do you mean that which resembles a spot of fog about twice as large as the disc of the moon? Professor : ' ' Yes. ' ' Visitor- What is it? Professor : ' ' Look now through the telescopie and see what it is. ' ' Visitor: Can, I believe my eyes! Stars by the hundreds! Is that what I saw and thought it resembled fog? Professor: Yes, and you must remember that each of these is like our sun — some probably much larger. ' ' Visitor : ' ' Well, these things are truly wonderful. I have been contemplating entering this school as a student. There are many things here which please me and this is one of them. So you may look for me here at the opening of the next school year. I thank you ever so much for your kindness, and will see more of the ' work of God ' s fingers ' next year. ' ' Professor: I shall be very glad to see you and hope you will bring more students with you. ' ' The Bachelor Club THE BACHELOR CLUB of Taylor University was organized in 1903. Its purpose is social encouragement to the disconsolate, good fellon-ship, and the promotion of the proper appreciation of pie. Mr. A. V. Roberts was the first president of the organization and a snccessful one he was. The writer has been pie custodian from the very beginning. The members of the club have held quite a number of meetings and enjoyed many feasts. Mr. .W. F. Atkinson is now presi- dent, a more loyal member than whom cannot be found. Among the distinguished graduates of the club may be mentioned Herbert Boase, the orator; A. V. Roberts, the business man, and E. E. Strevey. With tlie memory of a feast fresh in mind, we can say that the club is in a flourisliiup- condition. Class of 1907 Motto : Crux nobis anchora. Colors: Cherry aud Wliite. OFFICEES. J. E.

CLASS 1907 CLA55 1907 Sophomore History HISTOEY is not made by the mere passing of years. It is not necessary for a nation, an institution or a class organization to have a long existence in order to have an intensely interesting and important history. The Sophomore Class has already made a great record. Her stahvarts are of the salt of the earth. They come from the nobility, from the brightest and best of the land. Their ancestry is made of the greatest intellectual giants to be found. The element of victory over every diflBculty has characterized the members of this class from the very beginning. Sometimes, it is true, the victory came only after long but faithful perseverance and re eated effort. But victory has ever been and will ever be the goal, and after all, what matters about perseverance, the oft-repeated trial, if at last triumph comes ' ? Again, the battle is more than half won when a man finds his proper place in the world. To try to work out of your sphere, is to be out of harmony with the universe, and means ultimate failure, unless in the jostling and shifting of human conditions, you get into your proper place. For instance, some of our members were mistaken in their call, and threw in their lot with the Juniors. The mistake was realized only too soon, for to be a Junior means positive failure. With true Sophomore spirit and zeal and wisdom they left the frail bark on which they had cast their fortunes, and this year came aboard the great iron-clad Sophomore man-of-war, before which in mortal fear the little frigates of other classes, tribes and nations flee to their respective havens. The star of the Sophomore class has arisen midst the splendors of a magnificently decked firmament ; steadily and surely it is approaching the zenith of fame and power, and if the past is any indifnl en of the future it will set upon a world of great intellectual and moral genuises who trace their ancestry to the class of 1007. Sophomore Prophecy IT IS evening-, everythinj ' is wrapped in sil( ni-e, the mixin lias with- drawn her soft silvery ravs, the earth is drajied in blackness and as I adjust my prophetic telescope and pierce the veil which shrouds the future, unperceived by natural eye, I see emblazoned upon the banner of fame and shining as luminaries of the first magnitude in the sky of society, of politics and of Christian infiuence, names and records of the illustrious class of 1907. Taylor is proud of them; the world does them liomage, and all heaven rejoices at their accomjilishments. Nineteen hundred and seven they graduate; 1908 the forces of Juniors and Preshies will be suljmissive at their feet; 1911 they have gained universal prominence ; 1913 they have made known their para- mount issue to every tribe, clime and jieople ; 1915 the world seeks counsel from them; 1918 Emj)erors, Czars and Kings send members of their royal families to Taylor to receive culture and learning ; 1920 they have brought about a great crisis in the world ' s history ; have aroused public conscience, and have been the means of seizing the scepter from the forces of wrong; 1925, accompanied by the remaining rulers of tlie earth, they pursue their avocations in placid quietude and trancpiility and still the Freshies and Juniors are glad to throw primroses and palms in their pathway ; not living on past record, however, but because they have accomplished their mission and are still marching on mar- tialed in one solid | lialanx. Moore ' s Utopia is almost realized, and instead of wars and runiors of Avars, Eden ' s paradise has returned. Never in all past history has the world enjoyed the fellowship of so many illustrious and comretent men so capable of performing herculean tasks. Everyone is an intellectual, moral and spiritual giant. Thinking it boastinc - to personate any of the members we have re- frained thus far, but s ' nee you have asked, we will answer your inter- rogatory. At i resent Anier ' ca is in a political campaign, the field is be ' ng stumped, polit ' cal caucuses are as numerous as the stars tha,t stud the vaulted sky. President Hoover is running for the second term of ofiice on the Socialistic ticket. The last four years have been pros- perous ones and there is no doubt as to his re-election. O! concerning Singer, why he is in the penitentiary for i reaching his ethical theory on realism, supposed to be a mean between pessimism and optimism ; how- ever, we expect that Judge Hawley will release him in a few days. By the way, Dr. Russell is leading a woman ' s crusade against Taiiiniaiiy Hall. He expects to cleanse that whirlpool of corruption. I ' itzer and wife are still in the evangelistic field; Biddlecum is president of tlie Armour Beef Company. We have not heard directly from the otiiers lately, but judging from the dominancy of Christian ethics, from the many industrial achievements, from the eloquence that is flowing from the lecture platforms, and from the way that peace is being promul- gated through the land, this illustrious class has lost none of its excel- lency, but has increased in power, influence and esteem. Let all the world rejoice and Taylor be praised and blessed for giving to the world such stalwarts. ' %t Sophomore Class Poem Many have sung of the great and noble Who lived in the long ago, But few there be who pause to honor Those who are facing the foe. We shall not sing of heroes of old, Of those who have won their fame. But of them who now are in the strife, Who are now gaining a name. Nor would we wait till Death ' s cold clutch Has dragged them to the grave. To sing our lay of simple praise To the truly great and brave. So we sing of the young hearts, brave and true. Of the class of nineteen seven, Who not only on earth great honors may gain, But we hope a place in Heaven. With our motto, Crux nobis anchora, We venture life ' s stormy main, For our Captain has gone the way before And will bring us to port again. The race is not to the fleet of foot. Nor the battle to the strong. But to him, who with a heart of love, Takes his stand against the wrong. Oh Thou! whose love is ne ' er excelled. Whose eye is ever o ' er us. To Thee we pray with hvimble heart ; Lead Thou the way before us. Put Thou within us hearts of love. But wills as firm as steel ; May we stand firm for what is right, May we Thy presence feel. As we have come from far and near To grand old TAYLOE U.; May we forth to bless the world And unto her be true. £ vfr-a T y Class of 1908 Motto : ' ' Volens et Potens. ' Colors: Orange and blue.

CLASS 1908 Class Poem, 1908 We listen with joy to a clear voice deep; It sounds, through the corridors, true; We listen again, and the glad hearts leap ; The voice we hear thus, to know Comes from a future, where clouds seldom weep. Anil winds, perchance, never blow. We gaze with delight on our castles grand, We ' ve built where the pure, sunny light Eeflects on them softly, when towering they stand, O ' erlooking far the broad lea ; We ' ve built on a rock, we hope not the sand — Beside life ' s beautiful sea. We feel now the raptures of Youth ' s gay dream; We feel the quick pulses beat, And hands which beckon us on gently seem Ever pointing to purpose true. Success to the vittermost, be our theme. Success in pathways anew. O, cherished Ideals, to thee we cling. Thy realm our source of delight ; In thee we shall tind all our life one spring, A spring whose rich season ' s lure Is rarest of melodies borne on the wing Of zephyrs, soft, and most pure. POET. Freshman History A NATION, a state, a community, a family, is composed of individuals. Only in proportion as each individual member in society lives a high, noble life, will the family, state and nation become pui ' e and whole- some. Since every human being has been created in the image of God, it mat- ters not whether one ' s birthplace were in the jungles of Africa amid barbarism and ignorance, or in a civilized country in some beautiful jjalace in the heart of a prosperous ami influential city. It matters not whether we can trace our ancestry back to renowned and illustrious families, or living in a humble cot- tage, reared in poverty, with few educational advantages, where father and mother toiled from early morn until late at night. The great problem of ' ' Who is my brother, ' ' has been solved by the lowly Man of Galilee in that He has by one blood united al Inien, and all have become brothers to each other. So wonderfvdly made is the human body that, when one member suffers all the other members suffer with it. Linked to each other by this common relationship, when one individual member suffers, all suffer; when one rejoici s, all rejoice; when one succeeds, all hearts are made glad; when one is defeated and fails, heads and hearts bow in grief. In a word, when the individual member in society rises to such heights of unselfishness of deep sympathy for th,e degraded, having divine love for each member, then will the golden age be ushered in so long foretold by prophet and sage. As one looks into the bright attractive faces of the Freshman class of 1905, although beginners and untried by many of the experiences of life, we discover natural ability for accomplishing wonderful achievements in the his- tory of our world. We notice some who have left foreign shores having said . a long farewell ' ' to home and friends, and come asking admission to this, our class. Again we look, and we discover among our number not only those who have just left the seminary or high school, but others more matured and ad- vanced in life in whose cliaractors we see stamped the print of victories won and struggles mastered. But again we turn our eyes with rejoicing to find transformation in the lives of some of our class. Where the ideal had been for the seeking of happi- ness for happiness ' sake, now the attitude has been changed, the will has been brought into harmonj ' with the divine will ; ability and talents have been placed on His altar, so that even in this short time the sweet unconscious influence of their lives has been felt by every member of the class. A mixed company representing a noble band of young men and women, whose lives are clean and who are ready for any work and glad for any ojiportimity to do service for their King. Equipped and prepared they stand before the enemy and say, ' ' We have met the enemy and he is ours. ' ' They are to be numbered among that ' ' great multitude which no man can number, of all nations, kindred, peo- ple and tongvies who stand before the throne and the Lamb, clothed with white robes and palms in their hands, saying, ' Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and power and might be unto oiu ' God forever and ever.

Snin- iniminii ' licr whiili strenjitli in dvder to res|i(md tii the call of her sujiposed lover, she leaps upward itli sucli a sudch-n lioiuid that her old last winter ' s jacket is ripjied eoniph-tely up the liack, and she is compelled to leave it behind in her old bed-room, the eartli, while slie gcies fortli, unprotected, to meet him. When slie stiidvs In-r nose out o1 ' docu ' s tor the tirst time, she is somewhat sur- ];rised to find that the lilue-bird has tound a mate more to his liking and has flown a vay. tSlie is still more siu ' prised at the coldness of the atmosphere into vhich she pokes her head; and when a short time after she is raked over, lu ' uised and bent by a careless hand engaged in gathering up the accumulated trash of winter from the flower-bed in which she is growing, she feels that hers is indeed a hard lot. The greater trial is yet to come, however, for ere long her tender shooting leaves are nipped off by a wand ering old horse that has been baiting thereabouts; and then, planting his huge hoof squarely upon her, he fairly grinds her into the earth. Despite the fact of her first great disapjiointmeut, however, and the early trials that overtake her, she is only strengthened in heart by her besetments, and rises with a queenly air and regal grace superior to all of them. Finally, in full-blown splendor, she sheds a halo of glory above the soil that has nour- ished her, and the breezes waft to distant lands the sweetness of her perfume. The blue-bird which ju-oved her earliest disappointment returns, and perching on .-i bough near by carols in her honor his sweetest song. Instead of the chilly atmos|)here that met her first appearance, she is now liathed in warm dune sunshine. Instead of rude hands to bend and bruise and spoil, she is now tended by fair ones with jealous care; and the old horse tliat pruned her so mercilessly in former days now gazes at her with evident admiration. So the uncouth and uncultured Freshies, after living at a poor dying rate, cTopin-v in impenetrable darkness for, lo, these many years, upon receiving a cataloivue of Taylor Fniversity, think they recognize in it a personal call to get hitched no uith Wisdom and work with her in doable harness. Imagine their surprise when, after shaking off the mantle of the old life and striking a bee- line for tho halls of Taylor, they find as soon as they poke their green noses into this realm of learning that Wisdom seems to have gone a flirting down a long, hard trail with company more to her liking. Worse, though, than this first great disappointment are the cruel frosts with which the Sophomores meet us, m ' to find cuu ' selves at the uun-cy of the dtuiiors, who, like a fussy brood- hen in a flower-bed, scratch and dig as industriously to sciueleh all budding in- telligence as a hen ,to ruin a sprouting plant. But the climax of the opposition is reached when the Seniors set their big feet down upon us; or, they would say, subject us to their superior intelligence. However, the bruised reed is not broken, and like the lily, that in spite of opposition, grew into a thing of sneh marvelous beauty that it surpassed the glory of Solomon ; so the Freshies, scorning opposition and surmounting diffi- culties, will attain in the rich soil of Taylor that gives us growth, to a fineness of character and the sweetness of life that shall be heralded throughout all the earth. Wisdom will fly to us as a bird, and we shall be exceeded in that characteristic only Ijj Solomon himself. Instead of the frosts of the Soph- omores, they shall seek to warm themselves in the sunlight of our knowledge. Instead of the Juniors to ir.olest and make afraid, that fus.sy old hen will come to us, as a class, to learn how to scratch with less vehemence and more gump- tion; and the Seniors, having learned horse sense in their old age, will yet look upon us with admiration and respect, and accord to us a place in their estima- tion and regard thiit e eii now belongs to the Freshmen. Prayer Band ONE of the most important factors in our school life at Taylor is tlui Prayer Band, which is known by every student for the great ])(iwer ii exercises in the spiritual life of our school. It was organized about six years ago by a band of devoted students, who felt the necessity of banding themselves together for the common purpose of advancing the kingdom of God among the students. Since the organization of this Band, numbers of penitent souls have found God either in His saving or sanctifying power. The prayers of the Band are not for the students alone, but for all who desire its prayers. One night each week is especially devoted to prayer for missionary work. Every Wednesday evening is exclusively given to the subject of holiness, where many testimonies are heard to the ' ' fullness of the blessing. ' ' The other two nights are devoted to prayer and testimony in general. The work of the Prayer Band is sealed by the Holy Ghost, and God ' s power is felt in every service. It affords a spiritual feast to every Christian and many times the old time pentecostal power is manifested in a marked degree. It is the privilege of every student to attend these meetings, which are held four evenings each week from 6:00 to 6:30. May the blessings of the Comforter ever abide with us.

Atkinson Janitor The Philalethean Society WITH a glad heart we unroll the scroll of history for a few moments and view the past. No pages are brighter or more interesting than those of the P hilaletheans. The pages reveal industry, business pol- icy, grit, unceasing activity and invincible determinat ' on, w-hile, bes ' des these, are placetl their regular concomitants — prosperity, intellectual advancement and general improvement. The Society began its existence in Fort Wayne in 1878 in very adverse circumstances. With no regular hall and only a few members, it seemed that the infant society was never to reach its majority. After a tim.e it came to be recogn ' zed and has been pushing its way to the front until today it is con- sidered a very prominent feature of our school. The Philaletheans are known for good, honest work and undaunted loyalty. While the honors were be ' ng bestowed upon Taylor ' s brave sons and fair daughters the Philos were not wanting. In a beautiful halo of oratory and culture they have swept past their opponents to have laurels thrown at their feet and their heads crowned with glory and honor. The overwhelming vic- tory which came to the society during commencement in 1904 was not the result of mere chance, but came because of her eflSc ' ent work. Almost every Phila- lethean contestant came off with honors. Th ' s year the society furnished all of the six contestants in the Prohibition Oratorical Contest. A large share of the degree students who have gone from our school have been Philos. Many of these college men are in prominent circles and give promise of being tomorrow ' s leaders in thought and action ; some of whom are Kevs. George Wood Anderson, Herbet Boase and A. E. Day, Profs. D. S. Dun- can and O. N. Kiger, and A. V. Roberts and C. D. Hicks. Our Society is up to date. Leading questions and subjects of tcdny are discussed. Our aim is to establish a broader and more extensive view in this general field of knowledge than we have ever known. Our motto is: Animi Imperio Corj oris Cervitio Ufiimn- Vp ,gg lie power of the mind for the service of the body). Although our history has been bright and success has come to us in a large measure, we are tletermined to make rapid strides in order that we may keep in the front ranks. We are determined not to sit idly by and see the colors of the blue and white trail in the dust, but with a brave heart, a cul- tured mind, and a trained will, we will hold them high until all the world shall imbibe the principles of Truth and Purity into every fiber of their being. The Eureka Debating Club THE EUREKA DEBATING CLUB was organized in the spring of 1903 by a ban l of young men who saw the need for more practice along the line of debating and extemporaneous speaking. It was never intended to be a substitute for our Literary Societies, but rather as a supplement, and many of onr men have become more efficient Society workers on account of the training received in the Debating Club. We have numbered among our members the best debaters of oiu ' school and our men have achieved a name for themselves wherever they have wan- dered, and we are expecting still more from our members and our Debating Club in the futiu ' e.

Weimer Janitor Thalonian Literary Society 1850-1905 YEARS ago in the hazy past, in the days of idealistic philosophies, Thales, sage and philisopher, conceived the idea of a society of kindred spirits, which wonld embody all the principles involved in the ideal theory of the brotherhood of man, social equality of woman and the mutual improvement of all who fell under its beneficial influence. And yet such were the conditions of life at that time, that the idea could only exist as a dream, a fancy, or a fond vis ' on in the mind of the old philosopher. But as the years rolled on, bringing with them higher ideals of life, and more concentrated forms of organized society, this idea, though devoid of visible form, flourished and grew, until on the 28th day of November, 1850, at Fort Wayne, Ind., it passed from its embryo state and assumed its present form, presenting itself before the waiting world as the Thalonian Literary Society. There are certain associations connected with college life which will ever cling to the walls of memory as does the creeping ixy upon the old brick church. There are scenes and recollections to which the memory will revert with unalloyed pleasure. These recollections are as a valuable heritage from oin- Alma Mater, and should we forget them or count them as nothing, we should lose a vital part of our life. And we as Thalos all agree tha.t the most pleasant recollections, the fondest memories of our school days, cluster about our Society. Thalonianism does not stand merely for an organization for the improvement of the mind, but it represents an eternal principle of fellow- ship, of fraternal union. The cords which bind our Thalo hearts together can never be severed, and all through life ' s journey we shall feel the gentle and comforting drawings of these silver cords. We may be carried upon bounding billows to unknown lands ; we may traverse the weary jungles of fever-stricken Africa; we may jiursue our journey through trackless forests, or we may remain in our native land, yet wherever we may abide or sojourn, we shall never forget the fact that we are Thalonians, and as the scenes of bygone days fit across the curtain of memory, bringing to our minds recollections of former joys and sorrows, we shall experience a strange feeling of longing steal over our hearts, and silently blessing those old days we remove our hats in silent reverence, as face after face of those old Thalos, whom we loved, and who are now scattered all over this old earth, appear before us. We close our eyes, forget the present and in our minds trav- erse the journey of life over again. We are back again at Taylor, among loved friends and true ; we are sitting again under the loved pink and yellow, imbibing the wisdom and love of ovu ' Thalo friends. We feel again the thrills and emotions filling our Thalonian bosoms as we hear the old familiar T-h-a-1-o-n-i-a-n ringing through ovir halls, and awakened by its pleasing rythm, we arise from our reverie, a truer, a stronger Thalonian than ever.

This is an organization having its con- stituency in the student body of the world, who purpose, if God so wills, to become foreign missionaries. Tlie objects of the Band are to acquaint its members with mis- sioneary knowledge, to bring them together in united prayer for the heathen, to spread misisonary literature and to keep its members on fire for the salvation of the unchristianized millions. Nearly fovir years have passed since the Volunteer Band was organ- ized at Taylor. Here it is a distinct organization, while in many col- leges it is a part of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Our Band has steadily grown in strength until it has become a vital part of the school, and aids intrinsically to promote the spiritual life of the students. The more specific work of the Band is as follows: A business ses- sion is held each Monday evening. After the business is transacted, the meeting is thrown open for prayer, song and testimony. Frequently the program is varied by a character sketch of some Bible character or missionary, given by one of the Volunteers. This meeting, presided over by our worthy President, Mr. Ernest Mathews, has proved invaluable to the members. Among the other duties of the Band is the maintenance of a mission study class, during the school year. This class takes up the study of one or two good text-books — biographical or historical — pertaining to for- eign missions. Two books have been studied this year, viz : ' ' The Price of Africa, ' ' by S. Earle Taylor, and ' ' Japan and Its Regeneration, ' ' by Otis Gary. Miss Martha Speicher has very ably conducted this work. At noon, on each school day, from 12:00 to 12:15, a prayer-meeting for missions is held. The prayer cycle is used, which assigns a specific field or group of fields as the subject of prayer for each day of the month. In this way the whole Student Volunteer body of the world is engaged in prayer to the one end. The missionary table and library are important products of the Band. The ' ' Table is in the University Library, and on it are found nearly all the best missionary periodicals. The ' ' Library ' ' consists of some sixty volumes and occupies a separate alcove in the University Library. The missionary chart hangs in the first hall of the Gollege building. On this is written each day some verse of scripture or some striking fact concerning foreign missions, ' ' that he may run that readeth it. The Volunteer Band of Taylor is justly proud of the representatives it has in many of the foreign fields. Among the first to go out were Eev. Samuel Culpepper, who is at present in Porto Rico, and Miss Mabel K. Seeds in Japan. Within the year just passed others have gone to their respective fields of labor. Mr. Charles Scharer and wife, Elizabeth, are located in India; Mr. Oliver Moody and Mr. Goodenough are in western Africa, and Mr. George Schofleld and Miss Florence Myers in China. Miss Harriet Merrin leaves for Africa April 12, 190.5. May the Lord abundantly help them in their labor with the Master. University Journal A COLLEGE PAPl ' R sliould stain 1 in the frout rank of all college oiganizatious. It should coutaiu the life, set forth the spirit and in every way contribute to the interests of the institution it represents. Tliis is what is claimed for our University Journal, of which we make the proud boast that for the tone and strength of its reading, it is equal to an_y other college paper published in the United States. Taylor University is no common school, not in the sense of its surroundings, equipment and financial backing, but in the sense of the high standard of moral life it sets forth, and the many sacred influences connected with ' ' this old familiar spot ; thus it becomes that the paper should be no common j)aper, but that it fully participates in and takes the nature of the noble work its alma mater is doing. Is it such a paper! Bead it and see for yourself. Its pages glisten with inspiring truths, and are full of meat for the mind, and heart as well. While it is not a religious paper, it is naturally svibordinated to the religious life of our school, and in every issue are articles on the vital questions of the religious world, and the experiences of men. About one- half of our paper is thus devoted; of the other half we speak briefly as follows : The editorials of course have their place, generally dealing with some leading topic of the day or general questions of interest and profit. Then there are notes De Alumnis, brief and witty sayings which cut and go deep, some local items of interest, short incidents and amusing stories, and, last but not least, the ixsual college jokes and roasts. This is truly a paper for the students by the students ; its editors, managing board and printers being students of the dear old College it represents. All work in splendid harmony, and for the benefit of our contributors we say that all requests are cheerfully complied with. As long as this good feeling exists the paper must succeed. Indeed, it is succeeding, for this year marks the highest number of subscribers it has yet known. Who would refrain from predicting a great future for this humble, yet promising, yovmg child in the realm of college literature? University Journal, thou who hast struggled so nobly for a place in the halls of fame and literary merit, and who in thy seeming pov- erty hast possessed a most enviable richness; and thou who art now entering the great era of power and honor, and who art soon destined to enter the open lists of competitorship and there fling thy gallant challenge to the pviblications of the day ; and thou child who will soon take onto thyself the strength of a giant, and adorn thyself with the garments of praise — we send thee forth on thy mission. Do thy work well, nobly and inspiringly, and success shall be thine, and the foremost place among the publications of the day shall not be lacking unto thee. Go thou, and win the day ! W(j OVcu C ' ' - Wyrl Elocution Till ' ] object of Elocution -is not, primarily, to make platform readers and public speakers, but to give a broadness of culture and grace, such as no other one study can give. The i)urpose of Elocution, in its broadest sense, is to develop a sound body, for a person cannot be at his best unless he has perfect health; to cultivate a musical voice; to discipline the mind and store it with the rich gems from the best literature ; and last and best, to enlarge the soul and spirit by thinking and living the thoughts of the great and good men who have lived in all ages. It is as natural to express wliat has been impressed as it is to breathe. Hence the primary purpose of the student must be to get the best things in literature thoroughly impressed upon his mind and heart, and then to cultivate and develop a good medium, or instrument, through which to express what has been imjjressed. As the best performers cannot render the most perfect music on an imperfect instrument, so the person with the best production cannot give it with the best effect unless he has a perfect voice. Beecher said that the best cultivated voice ' ' is like an orchestra. It ranges high, intermediate, or low unconsciously to him who uses it, and men listen cpiite unaware that they have been bewitched out of their weariness by the charm of a voice not arti- ficial but made by assiduous training to be his second nature. ' ' Emmerson says, ' ' What is said is the least part of an oration. ' ' While this may be an extravagant statement, yet there is great truth in it, for a poor discourse well delivered will have a better effect than a good discourse poorly delivered; so that one who has a good discourse and a good delivery has everything in his favor. The secret of true oratory is sincerity and the occasion. But it is neces- sary, in order to lie ready for the occasion, to have some preliminary training. Demosthenes could not have vanquished his rival, had he not had the period of seclusion, during which time he trained his memory by committing Thueydides and overcame his defects in speech by speaking with pebbles in his mouth. Beecher could not have had the in uence over his hearers that he did, had he not practiced, every day, before an imaginary audience. Webster could not have overcome his opponent at the greatest crisis in his life, had he not had twenty-five years of preparation. The aim of this department is to cultivate and develop the body, mind and soul in such a way that the student may be able to express himself force- fully and intelligently as well as pleasingly to his audience. Young Men ' s Holiness League THIS is a (lay of organization, and every movement in Cliurch and State, as far as the machinery of organization is concerned, seems to be well established. Yet, with all our organizations, there always seems to be room for one more, whenever the occasion demands it. We believe the Young Men ' s Holiness League is a child of Providence and has a mission to fulfill peculiar to itself. The Y. M. C. A. is an association which is necessary in its sphere, yet, we believe the Young Men ' s Holiness League has a work to per- form and a mission to fulfill that no other organization can fully accomplish. The spread of Holiness is becoming universal and thousands of our young men are enjoying the experience, and it is just here where the Young Men ' s Holiness League steps in to meet the demand of an organization composed of young men filled with the Holy Spirit. The League has been blessed of God from its infancy, and although its membership cannot be numbered by the millions, yet it has a constituency in almost every State of the Union, and in several foreign countries. The League is a new organization, but we verily believe it is going to be a potent factor in the coming revival and in the spread of aggressive evangelism. Already the League has quite a number of representatives in the active work, and we believe the time is not far distant when it can number its pastors, evangelists, and Christian workers by the hundreds. Our Constituency TAYLOR UNIVERSITY, uulike some provincial scliools which make louder boasts, draws its students from many parts of the world. ' ' No pent- up Utica confines its powers ' ' or its influence for good. Our artist has given us a picture of the various nationalities and nations which are repre- sented in the student body this year. Every one of them is with us at this writing. They certainly make a very interesting group. Four of the great con- tinents of the globe have sent a representative. One comes from that far-off land where Noah built his great ship and where he landed his flocks and herds and goods and chattels and family, after the high water had subsided. On the .top of ' one of the mountains, in whose shadow our Brother Harvey was born, the keel of Noah ' s ocean-liner may still lie buried in the snow. The Land where the Pharoahs had their throne, and where Pyramids lift their proud heads, has its representative in the person of one who wears a name borrowed from a little green isle in the remote northern sea. Long may O. ' Neil preach the gospel to his brethren on the dark continent. We go back to Asia again and find that the Land of the Vedas and the ' ' Sunrise Kingdom ' ' are represented in our student band. Charles Wesley Conklin, the son of missionary parents, stands for one of the oldest of all the empires of earth, and Takemaye makes it easy for us to understand why Japan is ' ' too much ' ' for the grim old Russian bear. Europe is splendidly represented by delegates from Germany, Switzerland, Bohemia, Sweden, and, ' ' last but not least, ' ' old England, who gave us so much of ovir best blood and taught us the art of self-government. We are proud of Klein, Kehl, Kokohl, Carlson and Eussell. Crossing the great brine we land in New Scotland, and as we have no representative from Old Scotia, we are happy to find Miss Sutherland from the Netv peninsula. From another part of the same Dominion is Brother Bain. We wish he had ten brothers -with him in the University, instead of only one. From the distant South, from our dear little island, which we are making happy after centuries of Spanish hell, is Ernesto Eivera. We hope he, with his friend Torrez, will prove to be the advanced guard of an army of students from the Eich Port. Our Sister Kepublic, where the Montezumas ruled, sends a worthy repre- sentative in the person of Lorenzo Castilla. Our dear home land is represented in the groujj of nations by a lady from the Blue Grass State, one of many who honor their State and the University. Miss Kaye belongs to the corps of instructors, as well as to the student band. It is fitting that she should sit in the center of the group. Athletic Association THE Athletic Association of Taylor University lias c ' -arge of most of our college athletics. We believe in athletics as a means of recreation, exercise and enjoyment rather than making them the ch ' ef a ' m and end of college life, as is the tendency in our schools today. Men requ ' re recreation; and a man who can rest his mind by a game -of base ball or other outdoor exercise, is less liable to break down from overwork, than those who see no good, only evil, in these things. Taylor University needs a gymnasium, and it is the secret hope of every man interested in clean athletics, that the day may speedily come when we may enjoy the l.ienefits of a first-class gym. In the Realm of Books LIFE OF AUNT HUE ' S OLD KOOSTEK. The best, latest and most nuthentic life of this great and convivial citizen. His life reads like a romance. The latest production of James S. Newcombe. It contains an introduction by Dr. Alonzo Brown Hurst. Illustrations drawn by Craig, the eminent cartoonist. Smith, VanValer Comiiany, Publishers, Upland, Ind. A Bachelor by Refusal.

(This book is not recommended by President Roosevelt.) Dodd, Mead Company. The Lost Clew. By B. W. Ayres, author of Two Times One Makes Two. ' ' A realistic detective story somewhat different from ' ' The Great K. and A. Train Robbery. It is a fascinating story of college life. It does not deal with angels, but graphically represents conditions as they are today. MacMillan Company. To those desiring heavier reading we recommend The Theory and Practice of Social Relations . By Walter Wilson. Mr. Wilson is a well known authority on sociological questions, having practiced sociology in Upland and Matthews.

By Carl Henning Carlson, successor to Jenny Lind. Oliver Ditson Company. Smith ' s Patent Automatic Burglar Alarm THIS invention consists of a scalene triangle, an acute triangle and a right triangle placed upright on a foundation of obtuse angles. It should be placed before the door and the burglar should be asked to stej) on it. When the burglar steps on the scalene triangle it moves the acute triangle and this strikes the right trangle, causing it to explode. The sine of the angle strikes the burglar on the head and the hypotenuse is guaranteed to strike his partner. If ten quarts of nitroglycerin are placed below the alarm and con- nected with it by a fuse it will alarm the most intrepid burglar. Satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded. Tennis Association Motto : Ut sit mens saua iu corpore sano. ' ' OFFICEES. Arthur H. Ayres President Ray Pierson Vice President G. Garland Whitehead Secretary Harriet Conklin Treasurer Probably no branch of athletics meets with more enthusiasm from the player ' s standpoint than tennis. Other games attract larger crowds of spec- tators, but are not so attractive to the player himself. Tennis is peculiarly fitted for a college game in that it can be engaged in by both sexes, is fascinating and affords a healthful, yet not too violent exercise. It is not i ossible for every one in school to play base ball or foot ball, but almost any one can learn and enjoy tennis. College athletics should be more for the physical exercise of the individual student than for the enjoyment of the spectators. Tennis is the game which most nearly meets the needs of all. The Tennis Association at Taylor consists of a band of enthusiastic players, and though all are not of championship material, yet it has among its members some first-class players. This Association is perhaps the most wide-awake athletic organization in our school. It has four courts and there is also a private court on the campus. Music Department THE purpose for which man was created was to glorify his Creator, and tliere is no medium through which the adoration of the creature can be better expressed than that of music, which is the art of moving the emotions through the combinations of sounds. From the fact that God has so wonderfully organized man with almost innumerable organs and muscles, and has endowed him with a thirst and talent for this angelic art, shall we not cultivate this-facidty and use it in grateful praise to its giver? The Music Department of Taylor University has been steadily growing for several years. The methods used in the course of instruction are those adopted by the leading colleges and conservatories, so any student completing the course here may pursue his studies in larger institutions with credit. Courses for the Piano, Organ, Voice and Harmony are carefully arranged and will be followed at the discretion of the teacher. To encourage and stimulate the stu- dents, recitals are given at least once a term, also weekly programs are ren- dered by the literary societies in which the music students participate. There are three regular teachers in this department, with an enrollment of sixty or more students. There is a chorus class organized each term, for those who Avant to learn sight-reading and actual practice in anthem and cantata work. Pupils may enter at any time and will be graded according to their advance- ment. Any one completing the prescribed course in Instrumental or Vocal Music will be entitled to graduation. The following are the graduates for this year : PIANO Miss Ruth Speicheb. Miss Bertie Speicher. Miss Cora Hooker. Miss Margaret Eaton. Miss Amelia Bryant. VOICE CULTURE Miss Ruth Speicher. Miss Bertie Speicher. Miss Florence Stover. Miss Ethel Elder. Mr. Melvin J. Hill. Thanatopsis To HIM who in the love of Taylor holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A variovis language ; for his busy hours She has the voice of Brackney and of Smith And e loquence of Winchester, and glides Into his secret feastings, with a frown And pointed reprimand, that steals away Their pleasvire, ere he is aware. When thoughts Of the last bitter ex. come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of an angry parent, both Pa and Ma, And curtain lecture, and the farm and plow Make thee to shudder, and grow faint in knee — Go forth, unto the Gleaner ' s Home and list To Cupid ' s teaching while from all around — Earth and her waters, and the dense hot air — Comes a still voice — yet a few years, and thee The all-beholding Ayres shall see no more In all his rounds ; nor in the faculty Where thy pale face Avas seen, with many pleas ; Nor yet within the stately halls shall exist Thy image. Work, that wearied thee, shall claim Thy strength, make thee resolve to work again, And, lost each Freshman trace, surrendering vip Thine over-education, shall thou go To mix forever with the Sophomores, To be a brother to the self-respecting Soph And the noisy Junior, whom the rude Dean Scolds in his room and frowns upon. Cupid shall send his shafts abroad, and pierce thy heart. Yet not to thy forlorn bachelor den Shalt thou retire alone, nor eouldst thou wish Crowd more conglomerate. Thou shalt sit down With bachelors of the mystic pie — with Pyne With Dennis blackslider from the way, alas! Earth ' s Bain — sailor in the ethereal realm. And Bellamy, sweet Singer. Mid Hills Kock-ribbed and ancient as the sun — Carlson Sitting in the pensive qviietness between The yenerable Craig — suppers that fade In majesty, and the hard-working chef That cooks the bachelors ' spread; and poured round all. The cocoa ' s rich and melancholy waste — Are but the cheerful indic ations all Of the great w-oes of man. The golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven. Shine on sad abodes of bachelordom, .r-. Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread The hall are but a handful to the crowd Departed from its bosom. Take the wings Or evening, pierce the Speicher quietness Or lose thyself in the continuous noise Where roars the monitor, and hears no sound. Save students ' moekings — yet the Dean is there. And hundreds in those solitudes, since first The might of Ayres began, to have laid them down In their sad sleep — for noise reigns there alone. So shalt thou rest, and what if thou withdraw In silence from the building, and no girl Sheds tears at thy departure? All that will come Will share thy destiny. The boys will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn in class Sigh on, and each one as before will chase His favorite tantrum; yet all these shall leave Their mirth and their enjoyment, and shall come And tell their woes to ihee. As the long train Of periods glides away, the sons of men Freshies in life ' s green spring and Sophomores Wise in Sophomoric lore, matron and maid, The noisy Junior, and the humble Prep Shall one by one be mustered to thy side. From those who in their turn shall follow them. So court that when thy summons come to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His leetvire in the saddened halls of woe, Thou go not, like the Sickler lad at night Tied in his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering girl, approach thy roast Like one who wraps a borrowed overcoat About him, and lies down to jsleasant dreams. 3 G CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 14.

Farewells. rtr The Students ' Co-operative League IN A RECENT jjeiioral report, Prof. Smith, the President of the League, saiil that, with an investment of about $300.00 in paid-un stock and an investment by himself of about the same amount in horses, chickens and gardening and draying implements, there had been pa ' d to students for labor, either directly or indirectly, about $1,000.00 during the past two years. Th-s flowed into the treasury of the University and so has meant practically the same amount to her as a $20,000.00 endowment. But of course our equipment for such a business represents much more than paid-up capital, and so as you would naturally expect there are obliga- tions in the shape of notes and mortgages, and certainly nobody exrects us to make enough clear profits to cancel these. And, tco, the students and faculty have done about all they cnn hi the matter of taking stocks, so if the League is to live and prosper, God ' s spirit must lay its cause upon the heart of some one of H ' s servants with whom He has entrusted some of His s ' lver and gold We would like to add a laundry, a gas engine and a new job press and type to our equipment. With these things, which could be had for about $1,000.00, we could employ from eight to twelve boys and half as many girls, enabl ' n ' ; tliem to earn a good part of their way while in scliool, and save con- s ' derable expense to the University also. The rresent officers of the League are: President — C. E. Smith. Treasurer — A. R. Archibald. Secretary — D. Shaw Duncan. The Struggle Upward O(i0n! ?ilust. life be ever thus— To toil amid unnumbered failures, While ever and anon across my spirit ' s vision Flits the image of my perfect self? Well may the poet bid, Walk in the Light, And thou slialt know the fellowship of Love. ' ' But where the man that, journeying here below, Follows ever where his spirit guides. Fulfilling the prophecy of his inner soul ? Perchance the sculptor, toiling o ' er the stone. May finish his hard-chiseled task. And gaze w ' th solemn rapture on the image that fidfills The loftiest day-dream of his artist ' s soul ; Or the painter say of his masterpiece, ' Tis finished! Not the slightest touch Could I add to its perfect loveliness. But who, at any time. Amid the efforts cf h ' s will or faith. To make out of himself The ideal of his heart, Can pause, step back, And gaze uj on h ' s work and say, Now ' tis complete! And ever From this time forth. There shall stand upon the | edestal of time For men to gaze upon and copy from A perfect man ! ' ' And yet despair not. Oh my soul ; One such has lived. And if with him before thy face Thou cease not in thy toil, Perchance sometime in earth or heaven The voice of God may say, ' ' Here once more is the image of Ourself . ' ' UPLAND METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Upland Methodism THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH of Uplau.l has been making wonderful progress in the last few years, and especially has it taken advanced steps, both temporally and spiritually, in the past two years. In connection with this grent progress we might mention Rev. J. F. Radcliffe and numerous other pastors and workers, but the one whom we want to men- tion especially is Rev. G. H. Myers (whose cut appears on the opposite page), who has been our beloved pastor for the past two years. He is a graduate of Syracuse University and also took his Ph. M. degree from there. He is a graduate of Boston School of Theology. Bro. Myers is an earnest, energetic, self-saerificin.i; Christian gentleman. He has done some hard work for Upland Methodism. The two years have been full of unceasing toil. While he has done his pastoral work faithfully, he has also built a church. Under his labors the magnificent new brick church has been completed. All the work was planned and completed according to the best designs of art and architecture. Many people wonder how a church so beautiful, so commodious, containing so many modern conveniences, such as class rooms, reception rooms, gallery, audi- m •Tri -7 REV. G. H. MYERS ence room, etc., could be built for the svim of $13,000.00, exclusive of the ground. The seating capacity is about 1,000. This magnificent structure is indeed a blessing and an honor to the town, country and Taylor University. The best of all, the debt was all provided for on the day of dedication. Not only has this temple been built, but the spiritual temple of the Holy Ghost, the church membership, has proportionally increased. During Kev. Myers ' s pastorate the missionary collection almost doubled. The church membership has grown from 264 to 427 — almost doubled. God has honored his labors with some old-time Methodist revivals, in which over iOO professed to be either saved or sanctified wholly. During this year especially has God poured out His spirit and given great victory. The revival fire from the Uni- versity seemed to catch in the town ; and under the leadership of the Texas Evangelists, Allie Irick, John and C. E. Roberts, there were over 200 profes- sions of either conversion or sanctification. May God abundantly bless the M. E. Church. Bro. Myers has the sym- pathy, good will and prayers of the T. U. students and especially of the Class of 1905. Announcements FACULTY.

HILL, 2nd Tenor W. C. DENNIS, 1st Bass H. G. HASTINGS, 2nd Bass A Great Revival THE prophet said that it should come to pass afterwards that the Spirit of the Lord would be poured out upon all flesh. We hardly think that he had in mind any idea of time limitat ' ons; for ever since the prophecy was uttered its fulfillment has been, and is being realized. We sing a great deal about the God who lived in Moses ' time as being the same today ; yet we rarely ever stop to realize the truth of its theology. Be this as it may, the days of great revivals have not passed. It has been our privilege to be in Taylor for the last three years ; and in that time we have witnessed some scenes of great power. We have also been associated with holiness people, holiness camp meetings and holiness revivals for the past six years ; and in that time we have seen some wonderful manifestations of the Spirit. But never in our lives have we seen such tidal waves of salvation and sucli billows of divine glory sweep o er a place as has swept over Taylor University during the winter term. At the close of one of the Sunday afternoon services in whicL Dr. Win- chester led, he made an announcement that he felt impressed of the Lord that we should have a meeting at once ; and thus the revival began with no special leader but the Holy Ghost. The whole campvis seemed pervaded with the spirit of prayer ; and, as a result, each succeeding service was a veritable Penticost. God ' s power was so great that the class work was broken into and still the tide rose higher. After the first few days of the revival Allie Irick and Roberts Brothers, Texas Evangelists, dropped in to spend the night with us, and for ten days they preached the Word with great power. The service on the night of January 18th was beyond any power of description. Th ere was no opportunity for preaching, for at the singing of the second song, souls began to rush to the altar; and from that time until 10 o ' clock it seemed that ' ' Heaven had come our souls to meet, while glory crowned the mercy seat. ' ' Souls came through who had been seekers for years, and the hardest sinners found their way to God. Those who previous to this were the most timid and backward, are out and out for God. It would be impossible to tell just how many were saved and sanctified ; for they ' Sarrie through everywhere and at all hours. But we believe a conservative estimate would be one hundred at the very least. Almost every student was saved in this meeting, for all of which we give glory and praise to the triune God. ' i God in Nature By JOHN HARVEY When I see the snow-white lilies and oonsidev how they bloom. When I see the tinted roses and inhale their sweet perfume, Then mv heart goes out in praises to the One whose kindness shows In the blossom of the lily and the fvajirance of the rose. When T wnlk within the woodland and behold the vine-clad trees. When I walk am ' d the clover and behold the busy bees. Then my he-irt goes out in praises to the One whose kindness shines In the blossoms of the clover and the climbing of the vines. When I see the dark clouds gathering in the far-off western sky. When I see the raindrops falling on a land that ' s long been dry, Then my heart goes out in praises to the One whose kindness stands In relation to His people as the rain to thirsty lands. When I sit alone at evening with my daily duties done. When I think of all my troubles since the rising of the sun. Then my heart goes out in praises to the One whose kindness bears Peace to His believing people, peace and rest from all their cares. The Mooney Library OUE library was named in honor of Rev. George W. Mooney, D. D., of New York, who fonnilod it l)y making the first donation of books. Since the removal of tlio eollege from Fort Wayne the growth of the lilirary has been rapid, and now six thousand books are catalogued in addi- tion to a large number of valuable reports and periodicals. The library has lately been rearranged and the books all reclassified by authors. As soon as possible a classification by titles will be made. All books are open to students for reference, while any but tlie special reference books may be borrowed. All the privileges of the library are free to the students. The reading tables are supplied with about fifty current standard periodi- cals. In addition to the general library are the department libraries in the various departments of the college. The most valuable of these are the Historical and Theological Libraries. The Historical Library is especially well selected. Adilitions are constantly being made to the library, over $200.00 worth of books being donated during the past year. The Campus WHEN our eyes shall have grown dim, and our hair become sparse and mixed with silvery threads; when our voices shall have become husky and our ears dull and heavy; when our shoulders shall have become stooped and our steps slow and unsteady — even then the memories of that sacred spot, over which we have roamed in our school days, will be green to our mind ' s eye. ' ' Next to the place of our birth will it lie dear to our hearts. Tt will be a place of fond recollection, not so much because of its external beauty, though it abounds in this, but because of the intrinsic and interior beauty of which it will be the occasion of awakening in our minds. Our campus is not all it might be in beauty, yet it presents a view to the spectator of no small degree of admiration and interest. Its eastern slope, dotted with beautiful young trees and carpeted with velvet verdure, affords an EEsthetic scenery of the works of the Hand divine. It is here where we have basked in the vernal sunlight, or changed ideas in our social life, and heard the hearty laughter and joyful voices of our fellow students; it is here where we have seen our beloved professors go to and from with stately steps along its winding walks ; it is here where ' ' He our souls has come to greet, while tarrying at the mercy seat. ' ' There are multitudes of pleasant memories that will have as a nucleus the campus of our Alma Mater. We hope that its beauty may be continually enhanced, and that it may become the sacred spot to thousands of those to whom now its beauties are unknown.
