Last Will and Testament of 1913 Senior Class of Taylor University We, the Senior Class of Taylor University, Village of Upland, County of Grant, State of Indiana, being of souiid mind and memory, and considering the fact that our senior-class life is about to close, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, to-wit : First. — From the heights of our seniority and wisdom, we ha e watched with compassion the struggling Juniors as they endeavored to keep pace with our illustrious class. Therefore, fearing lest they might lose their way as they clamber up the rugged heights of development and achievement, we hereby give and bequeath to the said junior Class an electric arc light. This is a token of our love and best wishes for them, and it is also a symbol of our experience, which, we trust, will shine with greatest brilliancy, especially upon those days of their life when the days seem dark and the heights insurmountable. May the thought of this symbol cast over the rugged pathway of the juniors, in the midst of their discouragements and trials, the motto: What man has done, man may do. Second. — Since the Sophomore Class is just approaching the foot- hills of difficult problems and stern experiences, we bequeath to them a compass, trusting that it will safely guide them to the heights of men- tal and spiritual achievement. Third. — To the Freshman Class we hereby give and bequeath a barrel of salt and our best wishes. Fourth. — To the Academy Senior Class we hereby bequeath a large box of ANTIMONY . This substance has a physical prop- erty of expanding noticeablj- when cooling. It also enters into com- bination with other substances to form valuable alloys. How many a graduate of High Schools and Academies is like unto Antimony. While the heat of Commencement week gradually cools, he expands noticeably m his own estimation. Antimony, therefore, is to be a warning against a swelled head. But this is not all. As the antimony enters into combination with other substances to form valuable alloys, so may the academy graduate let his character enter into combination with other godly characters to form a holy commonwealth. Fifth. — To our kind Brother Abbey, who has so faithfully and energetically superintended the work of the campus and the buildings for our comfort and convenience, we leave a hearty Thank you. Sixth. — To the Faculty, who are untiring in their devotion to right and duty, uncomplaining in their untold sacrifices, and holy in their example, we bequeath our deepest, heart- felt gratitude, praying that the blessing of God may continue with them in their work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope. Seventh. — fo Dean Ayres we hereby give and bequeath a ton of pure carbon which has the power to break down the strong af- finity that many substances have one for the other. We trust that this will assist the Dean m breaking down the STRONG AFFINITIES that many SUBSTANCES manifest ONE FOR THE OTHER in the library. We also bequeath to our beloved Dean our sincere affection and friendship and gratitude for his holy, consecrated life which he so unhesitatingly devotes to the welfare of Taylo ' - students. God bless our Dean. Eighth. — To the kind and thoughtful President of the Univer- sity, we hereby give and bequeath our heartiest good-wishes for his con- tinued success in leading the University to a place of still greater bless- ing and power. Thanks for his leadership under God in the past; hopes for his leadership under God m the future. Ninth. — To a needy World we hereby give and bequeath our lives in, and for the name of the world ' s REDEEMER. THE 1913 SENIOR CL.-X.SS OF TA ' LOR UNIVERSITY. The above written instrument was subscribed by the said Senior Class in our presence, and acknowledged by them to each of us; and they at the same time declared the above instrument, so subscribed to be their last will and testament; and we, at their request, have signed our names as witnesses hereto in their presence and in the presence of each other, and have written opposite our names our respective residences.
