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.
