MRS. NEWTON WRAY (Nurm.il Certificate New York State Board of Regents) Professor of History The Faculty of Tavlor University was strengthened two years ago bv the addition of Mrs. Wray, as professor of history, a position which her experience in teaching and education by trayel have eminently qualified her to rill. She is a woman of rare tact and ability, and is generally con- ceded to be one who i apt to teach. Always desirous of attaining an unprejudiced mind on any question, she seeks to acquaint herself with facts from every standpoint, and willingly takes whatever can be proven, even it it is contrary to her views. Her sympathetic nature, cheerful disposition, breadth of charitv and liberality, but above all her Christian experience, have won for her a place in the hearts of the students of Tavlor University.
