mm SSa QM The yesterdays and Tomorrows of Taylor Uniuersity Tavlor University claims to be seventy-seven years old. In order to be thus venerable it must date back to its earliest tributary, the Fort Wayne Female College founded in 1846, which united six years later with a younger collegiate institution to form Fort Wayne Methodist College, co-educational. Under the presidency of Dr. Thaddeus C. Reade the name was changed to Taylor University in 1890, and for reasons not clear to us now it was moved from Fort Wayne to Upland, Indiana. Its campus has grown to more than one hun- dred sixty acres, including the farm. The original building, Maria Wright Hall, stands with the newer buildings back in a beautiful grove near the corner of the grounds, one mile south of the Upland station. The surrounding country is dotted by a number of thrifty manufacturing cities, and a typical specimen of America ' s best civilization is found in the adjoining communities. The institution has always been known for its spiritual emphasis. In its early days as Taylor University it was the subject of the prayers and counsels of its illustrious namesake, Bishop William Taylor. Its abundant missionary spirit and its record for educating more students for the ministry and mission field than any other college in proportion to its size have been wholly in keeping with the spirit and example of Bishop William Taylor, the apostle to the whole world. Taylor University like the majority of schools that have been built around an ideal has had a good share of tribulation and trial. However, it has had almost none of that type of fanaticism that splits institutions into factions. It has always held together and gone straight ahead with its work. Its generosity to needy students down through the years seiwed to bring it into financial trouble ; but lately it has been reorganized under the Legal Hundred described elsewhere in this volume, and its policies have been shaped for permanency. Taylor looks out upon this great age of the world read}- to serve, believing in the Bible as the word of God, organized to endure the passing years. Without any phariseeism its supporters believe that the institution has a peculiar mission among the colleges of the nation and the world, and the increasing number of choice young men and women who come to the school from all sections proclaim in the most eloquent terms that the school has its field, reminding us at the same time that in the nature of the case it cannot be a mere provincial affair. The world is its parish. John Paul. | i im i i i m i i uuum m w llllllllllllll3HUHfflfni l! Page Seventeen
