K% mMs ' a. - -A gi g S i ' l- WC f V,f ■ ? Ghe College ' Ghat Cares for the Soul Riches, high position, social prestige, and pohtical influence vie with one another to gain possession of the young person plunging into the adventure of life. In spite of these antagonistic influences which lie in ambush for him, the average youth is optimistic for the future as he ends his high school career and turns his face towards college. The average young person naturally steers his course to an institution where he can have his powers properly curbed and directed. To find a college which will train his mind and body is not difficult. Any person who is willing to work and sacrifice a little, can now receive a college education. When one comes to a finer discrimination, however, and marks the colleges and universities which could with truth bear the title, The College that Cares for the Soul, he discovers a lack of definite spiritual emphasis. I Among the colleges which place a premium upon spiritual things, Taylor ranks as one of the most spiritual. As an institution of higher learning, Taylor compares very favorably with the average college of her size. The most important feature of her role, nevertheless, is that Taylor sacri- fices no good thing on the altars of her spiritual life. The hour of prayer oc- cupies the tiriie often given to indolence ; the days of revival efliort and times of meditation for others merely replace the time spent in frivolity in the average college. Intramural athletics at Taylor give the students a safe and healthful means of physical development. i Should a college which is modern in its curriculum, and safe and sane in every respect, be condemned for teaching and fostering in its halls the very pillars of belief which have been the Gibraltars on which our civilization has so mar- velously prospered ? To the contrary, Taylor is more than ever before in the . cynosure of public approval because of her definite spiritual emphasis. A cross- (, sectional view of her life on an ordinary day will be sufficient to convince the iLiliiJ most skeptical person that there is something really worthwhile in Taylor ' s stand- ard of spirituality. The joy, the peace, and the contentment which are in evi- dence in the lives of her students make vivid the fact that Taylor is The College that Cares for the Soul. Page Seventeen I, ' ; Page Eighteen ISaylor University and Tier Predecessor In comparing the Taylor University of today with her predecessor, the Fort Wavne Methodist Episcopal College, one becomes interested in the very early history of our Alma Alater. Thus, it is our purpose to give a short sketch of its early history in order to gain a deeper love for Taylor and a keener appreciation of her progress through the years. In the year 1846 the Fort ' ayne Female College was organized by the Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. However, the school did not remain in this condition of single blessedness for many years. In 18?2 it united with the Collegiate Institute of the same place and became the Fort |i ilj Wayne Methodist Episcopal College, a co-educational college. In 1890 it passed under the control of the National Association of Local Preachers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and its name was changed to Taylor University. The college was named for the first missionary bishop of Africa, one of the greatest mission- aries of modern times. Bishop William Taylor. After personal visitation and ,, | .| examination into the character and work of the university, Bishop Taylor gave it ' ' his hearty endorsement, prayed for it every day, and assisted it by his influence and means. It found a place in his great heart because of its spirituality and its missionary enthusiasm. Among items of interest in the life of Taylor ' s predecessor, the organization of the Philalethean and Thalonian literary societies is of great importance. The Thalonian Society was organized in 1850 by a group of eight young men. In 1853 the society was reorganized to include the gentler sex, and since that time I ! M the Thalonians have been an outstanding and progressive group. The Philalethean Society was not organized until the spring of 1878. Its organization was deemed necessary because of the increase in the enrollment of the institution. Thus the Lovers of Truth began their stable history. The name of Sammy Morris is so intimately connected with the history of . ; the institution during this period that this synopsis would not be complete without mention of him. The black boy with a life dominated by the principle of Truth in God left an influence in the minds and hearts of his classmates and upon the college as a whole, that never shall be removed. His communion and fellowship with his Father was so intimate and sweet that his life was a veritable benedic- tion. Thus He being dead, yet speaketh , and his work is now going on in Taylor University and throughout the whole world. Page Nineteen i ' :iMi H i Page Twenty l_ ' - Caylor Yesterday hen the spirit of retrospection lays hold of the man of today and he lives again in his yesterdays, playing with children who are now men and women and mingling with young people whose faces he sees no more, he seems to be another person, living a different life; and were it not for the spirit of introspection re- vealing to him the same personality in both these seeming existences, he might live in these reminiscent days much as one lives in the character of a hero in some book that he has read. Thus it is in recalling the yesterdays of Taylor L ' niversity. The people who controlled her in her childhood days have gone to their reward ; those who were associated with her in her youth of service are aging, and many faces familiar in those days are seen no more. W ' e are sometimes tempted to think that the Taylor of today is a different college ; but the spirit of introspection at once reveals to us the same character and the same loyalty to Bible truths that stamped the Taylor students of former years. When we hear the testimonies of the young persons entrusted to us today, beaming with praise for the blessed truth of Holiness which they have learned at the Taylor of today, we know that it is indeed the spirit of her yester- days still growing. Taylor came to life in Fort Wayne in the year 1890 when the old Fort Wavne College was transferred to the control of the National Association of Local Preachers. It was named after Bishop Taylor because he was the only bishop who rose to that position from the rank of local preacher. In 1893, the buildings having been sold for debt. Dr. Thaddeus C. Reade, then its president, started out to find a more quiet spot. As he neared Upland he felt that the Holy Spirit was leading him to stop there. He obeyed the direction and made satisfactory arrangements for starting the college again on the present campus. Thus from small beginnings, through hard struggles, but with noble purpose, self-denial, and loyalty to the will of God, has Taylor come through the years. It is only through the sacrifice of such men as Thaddeus C. Reade, Burt W. Ayres, John H. Shilling, Monroe ' ayhinger, and John Paul — men who cared not for monetary rewards of more profitable positions — that we we stand today with the spirit of yesterday throbbing in our souls. Page Twenty-one Page Twenty-two ' Gaylor ' Gotnorrow A vision not too visionary, a prophecy not too realistic, is what you are to see and to hear. Michael Angelo could see a perfectly chiseled statue in a block of rough marble. Beethoven could hear a beautiful sonata in a blind girFs frugal home. We conclude, then, that where there is an ideal it must first fill the soul before the mind can create it in the world. And so the Taylor of tomorrow will be the creation of our ideals as we know them today. The campus which drinks tomorrow ' s summer showers will be a roomy garden. There will be sweeps of peaceful lawn. Artistically arranged shrub- bery will guard hidden fountains and delightful nooks and retreats. The stately oaks and maples will frame the glory of the orchard trees in blossom time and add their share of artistry to the riot of colors which make the campus of Taylor a thing of beauty in autumn days. Today we see the buds of promise; tomorrow will bring the blossoms, one by one. The morning sunshine smiles upon old Taylor ' s towers and lightens the eastern windows at break of day. We may not hope that the selfsame towers will ever last to stand and catch tomorrow ' s morning rays. Ikit we may hope that the old Taylor made newer and greater will have its towers, too, as if to witness that the builders thought and wished to think of God. Yesterday is gone and so is yesterday ' s student body. They were earnest, humble, consecrated young men and women. We wish to pass their spirit on, as well as the spirit of Bishop illiam Taylor and the beautiful memory of Sammy Morris. Tomorrow the heritage of the student body will be richer, nobler, greater. Tomorrow will see a great company of young people taking up the work as it is left to them. The world must reckon with her. Taylor is set upon a hill, and Light and Faith cann(_)t he hid ! She has struggled and she will continue to struggle. Perhaps tomorrow will bring harder battles, but what of that? It also will bring a way of triumph ! e shall not find the great-souled teachers of our own today before us in the chapel of tomorrow. We shall regret it. They have known and have helped to create lofty ideals. Those who teach and labor for the Taylor of tomorrow will surely receive the double portion of their spirit. It is a greater Taylor, made greater by the sculptors and geniuses who see the dawn beyond the night ; who work toward the highest goal. It is a blessed and an ever growing Taylor — the Taylor of Tomorrow. ili|! h . ■■■: ' .) Page Twenty-three J I H £egal 5 undred Pres., B. W. AyrEs Sec ' y, B. R. PoGUE Trci H. C. Miller The Legal Hundred was organized in September, 1923, at the advice of President John Paul, who received his suggestion from the Legal Hundred, created as a legal person to succeed John Wesley- In June, 1924, the Charter of Taylor LTniversity was revised in order to make over to the Legal Hundred the custodianship of all the property and business affairs of the institution. For three college years the Legal Hundred has been functioning admirably as the parent governing body of the college. There are excellent reasons why this type of governing board should be successful. The organization is made up of Christian men and women of the highest type, wholly in sympathy with the principles and ideals of Taylor University. In addition, these members are safeguarded in the execution of their duties by a charter that is clear, concise, and strong, but yet moderate. Taylor believes in old men for counsel ' and so the members of the Legal Hundred are elected for life. These are some of the reasons why an organization of this pattern is so well fitted to be the governing body of a college such as Taylor. Under the leadership of the Legal Hundred, Taylor University has entered upon a new era. Several phases of advancement, including the first considerable unit of endowment, have been made. A building campaign, including ' the Women ' s Dormitories and the Fort Wayne Gymnasium, has been launched with an eye for expansion. 1 I Jl Page Twenty-four 3tt iM m mm William G. Nixon, D.D. Daniel L. Speicher William G. Nixon, D.D. A ' illiam G. Nixon was born near Ovid, Michigan. September 8. 1865. He died December l.i, 1926, at his home in Detroit, Alichigan. Dr. Nixon was a member of the Detroit Conference of the Alethodist Epis- copal Church since 1892. For twenty years he was the president of the camp meeting at Romeo, Michigan, and for five years he was at the head of the camp meeting at Eaton Rapids, Michigan. He was a trustee of Chicago Evangelistic Institute, a trustee of . sbury College, and for several years he was President of the Legal Hundred of Taylor University. His passing means the removal of a man whose influence for good was very great. Daniel L. Speicher Daniel L. Speicher, a member of the Legal Hundred of Taylor University, died December 18, 1926, at his home in L ' rljana, Indiana. He was seventy-two years of age at the time of his death. As a layman, Mr. Speicher was active in many lines of Christian work. He was a member and a staunch supporter of the Evangelical Church. He was much interested in camp meeting work and for many years was the president of the camp meeting at Alexandria, Indiana. Mr. Speicher did much for Taylor Uni- versity in a financial way as well as b}- giving to the college his advice and interest. i I Page Twenty-five President Emeritus I! I !l!

The Student Council has no duties in the normal operation of the college, but is qualified to represent the students ' point of view, and may, at their option, have joint sessions with the President, the Faculty, or the Board of Trustees. As the first President of the Student Council the Senior Class chose John H. Shilling. The Junior class chose Earl Allen as their representative, the Sophomore class, Lawrence Boyll, and the unclassified students chose Emma Bell. Samuel Grove was chosen to represent the incoming Freshman class. The Student Council, though in its infancy and without definite power, ac- complished three or four definite things during its first year of life. Through the efforts of the Council, Taylor University became a member of the National Student Federation of America and sent a delegate to the Ann Arbor Conference. Expressing the unanimous wish of the student body, the Council obtained a promise from the Administration to change the date of future Christmas vacations so that the winter term will not begin until after New Years. Finally, the Coun- cil obtained an extension of time on Saturday nights for the students. iCV % ' y K H Page Thirty-eight Graduate Students Llewelyn A.

In the fall of 1923 the class ship set out on her venturesome vovage with Harold Ockenga at the helm. At the very outset of the voyage the passengers and the crew were noted for their enthusiasm, and their lovalty to the standards and ideals of Taylor. The Sophomore year was marked at the outset by a dee]3 desire to contribute to the life of the college in a definite way. Since the class had become noted dur- ing its Freshman year for the outstanding talent of some of its members, it gave a program in the spring term featuring Ada Rupp, Eiertha Phillips, Alary Bonner, — composer of one of the prize winning tunes for the Taylor Hymn. — Alelvin Reed, and Howard Skinner. At the end of this year, under the guiding hand of Leon Manning, the ship came into port vidth flying colors. The Junior year was particularly characterized by a great deal of enthusiasm. Dr. Glasier was chosen as class adviser and he served faithfully in that capacity while he was a member of the faculty. Albert Eicher guided the course of the class, and special stress was placed on the weekly prayer meetings, as well as the regular class activities. The Junior breakfa.st, the presentation of the Mod- ern Arabian Xights , and the Junior-Senior Reception constituted the outstanding events of the year. As the Class of ' 27 started on the last part of its voyage Captain Eicher was again at the helm and every Senior was in excellent spirits. Professor Barton Rees Pogue was chosen as the class adviser, and to him the class owes a debt of gratitude for his assistance and his judicious counsel. The class ranks were enlarged by the addition of eight new students whom the old members greeted warmly and heartily initiated into the responsibilities on board ship . During its Senior year the Class of ' 27 held weekly class meetings combined with a .social hour, as well as its weekly prayer meetings. Many happy and precious memories are connected with these weekly meetings. The Senior class play, The Taming of the Shrew, presented April 22 and 2i, was an unusual success. Professor Pogue, Bertha Phillips, and Harold Beane took the leading parts. Coming L)ut Day began a definite epoch in the history of the class during its last year at Taylor. The Senior breakfast, the Junior-Senior Reception and, finally. Baccalaureate Sunday and Commencement Day marked the close of 27 ' s college days in Taylor ' s memorable halls.

It is an event toward which the faculty, the students, and the friends of the college look forward with pleasure and anticipation from the beginning of the fall term. The commencement season epitomizes all the activities of the institution— religious, social, athletic, and scholastic. Thus the visitors who at- tend commencement have an adequate opportunity to see Taylor as she is. For the first week during this climactic period, special emphasis is placed upon religious uplift. Famous evangelists conduct the services and those for- tunate enough to attend them receive definite spiritual assistance and edification. The afternoons during this period are usually left open for various student and college activities such as tennis tournaments, orchestra and band concerts, and social hours. The Sunday which immediately precedes Graduation Day is Baccalaureate Sunday, a day of rare inspiration and blessing. The artistic and scholastic features of the commencement program usually take place during the last three days. It is then that Taylor faculty members and students have a chance to show their friends the kind of work they are doing. Literarv societv contests in expression, vocal and instrumental music, oratory, and essay writing hold the center of the stage. Another big event in this very last portion of the season is Taylor Day with the Alumni Banquet. Graduation Day is reserved for the awarding of prizes, the presentation of diplomas, and the deli •ery of the customary commencement address. As the Gem goes to press the 1927 commencement bids fair to be one of the greatest commencements in the history of Taylor. Rev. and ]Mrs. John Thomas, who have won warm places in the hearts of Taylor audiences, have been secured for the early-morning and early-evening services. Dr. AMlliam H. Hufif and Rev. T. M. Anderson, both famous evangelists, are scheduled to ci nduct the evangelistic sessions of the commencement season. The music, — a very essential part of every commencement. — is to be conducted by Professor Kenneth Wells, head of the ' oice Department of Taylor University. Those in charge of the commencement program have secured Dr. Henry Clay Morrison, famous orator and President Emeritus of Asbury College, as the speaker for Graduation Day. With such persons as these on the program, the 1927 com- mencement cannot help but be the capstone event of the entire college year. As the years come and go, the commencements at Taylor furnish outstanding milestones, marking the progress of the institution. i,!.J Pai;e Fiftv-four kM Ifaiiufel - nu-l-h - - m rV ' tnar f -BCffhq JutK. - - ' - rt cEBA ic — wm I ! :IJi, , : ;!■•« ' ' ] m Page Fifty-five r I , Ji ut he 5 E,l r« cL feo-i-v-V 1,11 !!

WiLsox Paul rt ' .v — Martha LixDshV Prcs. — Lawrexce Boyll Trccis. — Harold Pailthorp DEAR SILAS ;— Perhaps you would be interested to know about our class officers this year. We feel that we have done remarkably well in the selection of the Sophomore officers. Vou remember how well Lawrence Boyll guided us to the end of a successful Freshman year, after Walter Hopkins left our ranks. Well, we elected Law- rence president again this year. He also represents us on the Student Council. Li the selection of Wilson Paul for vice-president, we selected a man who is well fitted to help Lawrence in his executive work. Martha Lindsey is serving in the capacity of secretary in a very commendable manner. Can you ever forget Harold Pailthrop as Philo treasurer when we were Freshmen? Harold uses all the tricks he learned last year to extract our Sopho- more dues. Anna Stewart is our chaplain, and she is just as faithful as James LHilinger was last year. Morris Baldwin has risen from the ranks to become sergeant-at-arms. . Sincerely, Soph O ' More Page Sixty-four Sophomore Class In the fall of 1926 Taylor again welcomed the Class of ' 29. Although the class did not return with as large a membership as that of the preceding year, yet it still retained its real Christian spirit which it had developed during its Freshman year. There were, however, a few new students who joined the ranks of the Sophomores and there soon proved themselves to be real fellow Christians, upholding the standards of Taylor as well as those of the class. During the year the Sophomore Class held its usual prayer meeting on Tuesday morning of each week for the purpose of uplifting and strengthening the spiritual lives of its members. Anyone who attended one of these meetings can testify to great spiritual blessing. Inasmuch as practically every member of the class is a true follower of Christ, it is his desire to promote Christian fellowship. ' ith Christ as its guide, the Class of ' 29 is pressing forward, preparing itself for better service for Him in this world. The ' ship of this class which set sail in 1925, is one more league on its journey and will reach the harbor in the year 1929. Page Si.Kty-livs 1 ' t 3Utiiu ' ' tburC y ' 1m (Xtnt af f  al HNr3VB -5i- Page Sixty-six Ojficers of the Freshman Class President, E ' DELL Owen rice-President Els A Buchanan Secretary Edna Chambers Treasurer, Kenneth Hoover As each year a new Freshman Class gathers, it must first of all choose of- ficers to direct the activities, before it can become a unit of the life at Taylor. The future success of the class depends upon the wisdom of this choice, and yet it is difficult to tell so early who will prove to be capable leaders. In this respect the present Freshman class was fortunate, for there were two students among its number who already had some contact with life at Taylor, and so were well able to lead the rest of the class. These were ' endell Owen, who was elected president, and Elsa Buchanan, who was made vice-president. Mr. Owen did not fail the class in its choice, as he has directed the class well in its activities of this year. }tliss Buchanan has also proved herself to be a most efficient officer. Edna Chambers was elected class secretary, and Ken- neth Hoover has served as treasurer. Both of these officers have been loval in their work for the class. Mr. Hoover, especially, has had occasion to show his diligence. The Freshman class feels that it owes the success of its first year at Tavlor to these officers who have so well started it on the trail that will end with the commencement of 1930. Page Sixty-seven Freshman Class w ' M % % Ti On September 2ci, 1926, registration closed and a new group was enrolled at Tavlor — the Freshman Class of ' 27, the Senior Class of ' 30. From thirteen states in the Union, and from China, Guatemala, Canada, and Porto Rico, they came — all attracted by the ideals of Taylor University. On October 12 the class organized and the following officers were elected: Wendell r)wen, president ; Elsa Buchanan, vice-president ; Edna Chambers, sec- retary; and Kenneth Hoover, treasurer. A little later the class decided upon Rose and Gray for the colors, the pink carnation for the flower, and E.xcelsior for the class motto. The class purposes to apply the motto to at least three realms of activity — the spiritual, mental, and social. The prayer meetings are held every Thursday morning, and it is the desire and ambition of the class for its members to grow upward until they become not only leaders in Taylor, but have something to give the world when college days are over. Determination is also present to excel in studies and to obtain benefit from the courses taken. . nd lastly, every member wishes to be a factor in the social life, as is attested by the fact that each Fresh- man is a loyal Philalethean or Thalonian, and that most members of the class support a debating club. The Freshman Class appreciates the kindness and friendship that the upper classmen have extended to them, and intend to be worthy of their trust by main- taining the ideals of their predecessors.

He graduated from the East Waterloo High School in 1926, coming to Taylor in the fall of the same year. He died December 28, 1926, at LaPorte, Indiana, in ail automobile accident. ]Mr. Bachtell was born into the kingdom of God in November, 1920. He early received his call into the ministry and came to Taylor to prepare himself for this life of service. He was a member of the Gospel Team Association and often conducted services under its au.spices. l lr. Bachtell was a member of the Thalonian Literary Society and the Eureka Debating Club. All the members of the Taylor family mourn the loss of this young man. Edward Allen Anderson Edward Allen Anderson was born near Belgrade, Minnesota, June 19, 1903. In 1923 he graduated as an honor student from the East ' aterloo High School. He died January 4, 1927, at LaPorte, Indiana, just a week after the death of his chum, ' Sir. Bachtell. They were the victims of the same accident. When Mr. Anderson came to Taylor in the fall of 1926, he became a member of the Thalonian Literary Society and the Eureka Debating Club. He played on the Eureka basketball team and was captain of the Thalonian team. Mr. Anderson was preparing for the ministrj . His influence among the Taylor students was marked by his deep sincerity. His death deprived Taylor of one of her best students. Page Sixty-nine f ■ ■■ ' ■ ' , 1 1 nam- t rer - ntore Fpo ff ■4 F ' On l-hlt XockS Chief Chef PK k.

John Shilling, President of the Student Council, called the unclassified students together last September, and the students of this group became established on the same basis as the regular classes of the college. The Special Students include sub-freshmen, graduate students, and several persons who are taking work in the School of ] Iusic. It is a decided advantage for the students who would otherwise be un- classified, to be grouped together under this common caption. By having the privilege of an organization, they have the power that they need to take charge of their common interests. As an orgnization they have a respresentative on the Student Council. This year Emma Bell, the representative of the Special Students, was the Secretary of the Student Council. As a composite organization, the Special Students of 1927 have been typical students of Taylor University. It is truly remarkable how the sub-freshmen have fellowshipped with graduate students. In all their associations they seem to have had a great unifying bond that has made an ideal state of comradeship.

The League is a student organization founded in the early years of Taylor ' s history. The purpose for its creation was to inspire and teach followers of Jesus Christ to enter into their full inheritance of Christ ' s abounding grace and power, and to walk worthy of the Lord in all manner of living. The organization was named the Holiness League in sympathy with the teaching of John AA ' esley in which he set forth sanctification of heart and holiness of character as the goal of Christian experience. The activities of the League find expression in the weekly instructive and inspirational services. There is an opportunity given for prayer and testimony. Special music is a feature of the service, and a short message usually follows. Besides the main activities of the Holiness League, there are others in which the organization takes a part. During the present year, for instance, the League has raised one hundred fifty dollars for Philippine missions. The Holiness League will always have its own peculiar place in the college life at Taylor. It is the heart of the institution. } {ft Page Seventy-three Student Uolunteer Band ' m ' ■ x :; ,iJ.,.: ' J l vwp -sraaas?

Whether ' ' my brethren are of the tribes that dwell in the jungles of Africa or are the zealous Nationalists in the great cities of seething China, or are the self-satisfied materialists of America, every true follower of Jesus Christ will have the go tell ' spirit. Taylor University has heeded the Great Commission, She was founded upon missionary principles. The man whose name she bears, Bishop Taylor, was one of the greatest missionaries the world has known since the time of the Apostle Paul. From the beginning Taylor has been characterized by her mis- sionary spirit. The students responded to this call of the Master, and in February, 1901, they organized the Student Volunteer Band with five members. Today the membership roll bears the names of forty members, and former students of Taylor University are located in various parts of the world, ministering to the needs of the hungry multitudes. Of the students who studied at Taylor between 1908 and 1921, as many as seventy-five have gone to serve in foreign lands.

David Clench Wayne Eller In the world today there is no broader field of service than the ministry of praver. It is a field in which workers are needed everywhere and it is a vocation in which each one of us can share in active service for our Master, for there is always room for prayer. It is only through fervent prayer that God ' s children can gain the victory, for there is no weapon half so mighty as the word of intercessory prayer when linked with God ' s Holy ' ord. If we Christian people expect great things from God we must consistently resort to the old-fashioned method of prayer. A group of students, realizing the value of prayer, met together in 1889 to form an organization which would devote itself solely to the deeper life — the life of prayer. According to the constitution, the object of the Prayer Band is to spread scriptural holiness among the students and others who may desire to live a holy life. Since then, every Tuesday evening the members of the Prayer Band and their friends have met together to pray. Today the Prayer Band is one of the great religious organizations at Taylor. Requests for prayer are being sent in from all over the world and God is hearing and answering prayer in the same old-fashioned way. iJli- I Page Seventy-five tDomen ' s CDinisterial Association President. Grace Olson Secretary. Ethel Dover In the past few years the ministry, — the place that has been closed to women so long, has been opening. God has been putting the call to preach upon the young women in the colleges. j n evidence of this tact has been found at Taylor where there has been a growig interest in this work in the past two years. Last year there was ( mlv a small group of girls interested in preaching, but this year this number has grown until it has become a real factor in the life of the college. The organization chose as its name the Greek words for Bearers of Good Tidings, but on the campus it has become known as the Women ' s Minis- terial Association to distinguish it from the men ' s group. The real sponsor of this work among the women has been Miss M. Madeline Southard, president of the International Association of ' omen Preachers. Miss Southard is also a member of the Taylor faculty. IMeetings of the organization have been held twice a month on Wednesday evenings. At these ser ices talks have been given by various women preachers and the lives of outstanding women preachers of the past have been studied. This organization is new at Taylor, but it has already proved to be of inspiration to the women interested in preaching as a definite life work. In the future it intends to send forth many women who will tell to the world the mar- velous gospel of Christ.

Edward Maynard David Hasbrouck He that winneth souls is wise. Important as the other great and varied activities of an all-round minister may be, his supreme work is the saving of souls. There is no more glorious and Christ-like labor in human life. The Men ' s Ministerial Association seeks to keep this very vital fact paramount in the hearts of its members. Since the work of the minister is so important, and the salvation and nurture of souls constitutes his supreme task, there is nothing in all the range of human influence that requires more wisdom, tact and versatility; and it is these God-given qualities which the Association endeavors to help its members to develop in order that they may better perform the duties and bear the responsibilities of their high calling. The following hymn, which the Association has adopted as its own, well expresses the conviction of each member : I II A charge to keep I have, To scrz ' e the present age, A God to glorify; My caUing to fulfill — A never dying soul to save, Oh. may It all my pozvers engage.

Douglas Scc ' y, Ona Ingerson Treas., James Uhlinger An interesting and helpful feature of student life at Taylor is the opportu- nity to put into practice the facts which one learns and to exercise in a practical way the religion he professes. This aspect of extra-curricular activities is under the direction of a committee from the student body, with officers elected by the group and an adviser selected from the faculty. Under the leadership of William Hawkes as president, and Dr. John F. Owen as faculty adviser, teams have been sent to many churches in the surrounding territory in Indiana, and, during the Christmas holidays and spring recess, teams were sent to several churches in Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. Many young preachers, evangelistic singers, and personal workers have gained valuable experience through co-operating with the Gospel Team Associa- tion in filling the demands which come in for Spirit-filled workers in revival campaigns and special meetings. There is not a definite list kept of those who have sciught salvation or sanctification in meetings carried on by teams sent out by the organization, but many have been definitely edified, not only among those ministered to, but also among those who ministered. This has been a pro- fitable year in actual service, as reported by the Gospel Team Association. Page Seventy-eight- ' Ghalonian £iterary Society Fan Prcs..

The society has endeavored to develop its members along many lines of activity. It has brought to light and presented new literary and musical talent. It has encouraged a happy, whole-hearted participation in athletics. It has sponsored a spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship among its members,— Thalos game to win or lose. The society has acquitted itself nobly in the spring inter-society contests, be- ing well represented in piano, voice, essay-writing, reading, and oratory. A fine spirit of comradeship and co-operation has been created by the weekly pep meetings. The music furnished b) ' Mr. Skinner ' s orchestra and the fun of blending their voices in hearty cheers are memories that will linger long in the minds of all Thalonians.

This was a maze to the new students entering Taylor last fall. I ' .ut when they awakened one morning to find the campus streaming with blue and white colors and heard.

The year has been marked by joyous triumphs, cherished comradeship, and memories never to he forgotten by the Lovers of Truth . Programs, athletic series, and contents in the fine arts with the Thalonian Society have added interest and variety to college life. All of the members of the Society feel that it has been a year of recreation and culture that stands out vividly in the foreground of Philalethean annals. Although it is the younger of the two literary societies at Taylor, the Philal- ethean Society shares equal prestige with her rival. Through the opportunities wh ' .ch it presents for training in the fields of music, oratory, expression, litera- ture, and athletics, the Philalethean Literarv Society is sending out its members into the world with that polish and poise, and those accomplishments in the fine arts that are so universallv expected of a coUeee man or woman.

The Taylor University Quill Club has had a name for four years, and a vital existence for three years. In these three years a number of real poets have modestly but none the less surel}-, come into being — the fruitage of the careful work and the inspiration of the club. The Club does not rate its consequence by its numbers. Faithful effort and devotion to the aims of the organization, together with actual productions of real merit, constit ute the evidences of the success of the Club. As one of its excellent organizations, Taylor is greatly the gainer in the possession of the live, functioning Quill Club. Page Eighty-one Che Gem Early in the college year of 1926-27, the staff of the annual of Taylor University began its work on the publication for this year. The staff organized itself into The Gem Mining Corporation. with the editor-in-chief as the head miner. This head miner put his crew to work and they dug deep. They were not satisfied with the mere surface findings which were inclined to be mediocre, Ijut kept digging for the deeper, richer material. Many suggestions were dis- carded and many superffous things had to be cleared away before the operations had a good start. And so the miners went to work, down through the photographic section, through the organization section, the alumni and the joke sections, on and on they went. One of the hardest strata of rock that they met was the advertising section, but when this vein was finally opened it was found to contain -alualjle metal which, when sold, contributed immensely toward the completion of the work. After all the material had been gathered, it was sorted in order that the best of all the oft ' erings might be found. After this extraction process, the miners sent the material to the printer who assembled and polished it into a finished product. This product is the result of the work of The Gem jMining Corporation which made the precious aspects of college life into an imperishable Gem .

' J. ii !! To tell whv the U ' 26-27 Echo has won the praise of all of its readers, it is necessary to gi e a hitherto obscure chapter in its history. In tile fall of 1924 three students completed plans for a newspaper which they felt would put the old magazine-style Echo out of business. Upon advice they did not start their enterprise, but waited in the hope that they would be able to carry out their plans by becoming members of the Echo Staff in the coming election. The election day arrived and the triumvirate presented their plans. Fron ' the conservatives a storm of protest thundered against the proposed reform, and, consequently, the new scheme was rejected. iHowever, the first Echo of 1923 embodied the essential parts of the reform of the spring before. The staff received numerous congratulations upon its new remarkable paper. But it was not until the fall of 1926 that the dreams of the triumverate came true. John Shilling, one of the trio, became editor and the paper took the shape which had formed in the minds of the dreamers. The first reason for the success of the paper, then, is the fact that it is the development of the ideas of years. The second reason for the success of the Echo is that it is the expression of the individuality of a man — John H. Shilling. To him and his eflicient staff the student body gives its heartiest thanks for their untiring efforts.

The Department of Theology emphasizes a theology which is evangelical, vital, and dynamic. It is evangelical in that it embraces the saving truths of the gospel of Christ as revealed in the New Testament ; vital in that it is practical rather than speculative in its aim and emphasis ; dynamic in that it furnishes the foundation for a triuni])hant faith in the deity of the Son of God, and the inspira- tion for a powerful prciclamation of His gospel. Taylor ' s theology is grounded in the Word of God, and is confirmed by personal experience of Christ as an all-sufficient Savior. It rests upon a reverent interpretation of the Scriptures and is in substantial accord with the tenets of Wesleyan Arminianism. It is no mere verbal formula of an outworn creed. Just as the New Testament, the inspired source of all Christian theologv, was written after the fires of the dispensational Pentecost had purified the heart, and the indwelling S])irit had anointed the vision of New Testament prophets, and just as the W ' esleyan revival was in its doctrinal emphasis Arminianism on fire , so is Taylor ' s theology a system of doctrine and faith shot through with a relig- ious conviction and certitude born of a present exultant experience of Christ as a mighty Savior. It portrays a measureless Christ and proclaims a matchless gospel of His grace. Page Eighty-six Department of Education m r:J There is no task to which a human being may turn, there is no more ennob- Hng, more far-reaching, more significant ; no department of learning that is richer in content to him who seeks ; no held with a wider horizon for the ambitious and aspiring, if willing to render the sacrifice of preparation ; no calling with greater rewards to the one who is true to the vision of service, than that of the teachers of childhood and youth. One of the chief problems confronting this and other States, says th e Missouri Survey (1920 Preface), is the wholesome supply of adequately trained and prepared teachers. The World War made emphatic the need of proper education for the youth of America. This Survey declares (Preface, page X ' II1 ) that The country faces a real crisis in its educational development, and the passing of that crisis depends mainly on the possibilities of training and bringing into schools teachers fitted for their high task. It will be admitted that the teachers of childhood and youth, while not the only instruments, are by far the most influential instruments through which people may consciously control the future.... Taylor University ' s Department of Education is glad to welcome the young people who have the call and the vision of what will ever be a crisis in the development of a Christian democracy — a wholesome supply of adequately- trained and prepared teachers for its public schools. nil Page Eighty-seven •1 Department of CDusic ! ' t i M Taylor University has long been proud of her School of IMusic. Fully realizing the importance of a knowledge of music in the lives of young men and women who are devoting themselves to Christian service, she has laid unusual stress upon this special course. The greatest care and wisdom have been exer- cised in the selection of a most competent faculty. The 1926- proving to be as successful in this realm as previous years have been. Theodora Both well is ser ing her fifth year as the entire Department. The other members of the faculty are : Director of Kenneth Wells, head of the A ' oice Department; Eleanor Patterson, ' oice; Sadie Louise ] Iiller, Piano ; Grace Richards, Piano ; George Fenstermacher, ' iolin ; Howard ' SI. Skinner, Evangelistic Piano Playing. In addition to the work in Piano, A ' oice, and Aiolin, arious organizations in the IMusic Department show its popularity and worth in the life of the school. The Chorus, under Mr. ' ells, has its full quota of members: the College Choir, under Miss Patterson, is a real necessity: Mr. Fenstermacher continues to make the Orchestra a live organization: and the Liand, under Mr. Wells, is in its ustial good form. Practice Rehearsals, which all music students are required to attend, are proving of great ■alue to the entire Department of Music. Ji ' l i! Page Eighty-eight Orchestra The ad -ance which we know our college has made this present schoijl year is evidenced Ijy the development of the Taylor University (Jrchestra. In the fall of the vear, with the coming of a new Freshman Class, new material was gained for the Orchestra, which has already proved itself to be of great value. Al- though there were several members who did not return this year, there was, nevertheless, an increase in numbers. This numerical advance, however, is of small moment compared with the greatly increased ability in real ensemble playing. After only seven one-hour practices, the Orchestra gave a program on November 23 in Shreiner Auditorium, which seemed to be unanimously pro- nounced the best program of orchestra music ever given at Taylor University. The mellow tone quality of the string section was a noticeal)le ad ' ance. After the program was given, an opportunity was offered to other players, who were known to be of required ability, to join. The brass section was strengthened and several violins were added. One of the most notable features of this organization is the interest that each member has in his work, and the loyal support that all the members give the leader. Professor Fenstermacher. iru! 1 ' 1 Page Eighty -nine Band Taylor has several talented players of band instruments in her student body and constituency. The Music Department gives these aspiring Sousas an opportunity to develop their talents through the medium of the liand and Or- chestra. The Taylor University Band sprang into the limelight in 1924-25, under the leadership of J. Roy Nlac ' Murray. It was then that the sponsors of the Band made possible the purchase of the natty purple and gold uniforms which lend distinction to the players whenever they a]:)pear in uniform. Professor Kenneth Wells has served as director of the Band this year. In this, as in other musical fields, he has demonstrated his marked musical ability. One of the interesting branch organizations of the Band is the Taylor Trom- bone Quartette, composed of Messrs. ' ells, ' ilson, Krause, and Brown. These musicians starred on various occasions throughout the year. The entire Taylor community greatly appreciates the presence of these mu- sicians in the college. The authorities are proud to send out these players from time to time to represent Taylor to the public, for they know that the Taylor virtuosi will make friends wherever thev gi e ] ul)lic concerts. Page Ninety Choral Society i l : The activities of the Clioral Society fill an important place in the musical life of Taylor University. The membership of this organization is made up largely of the students in the ' oice Department, but it also includes manv other singers of the college and community who are not specializing in musical studies. Under the leadership of its present conductor. Professor Kenneth Wells, the Choral Society has maintained the standards of other years, as well as making advances in its work. Just before the Christmas holidays the Society presented an inspirational Christmas program, climaxing with the Hallelujah Chorus from The Mes- siah . During the pre-Easter season Maunder ' s production, From Olivet to Calvary was given. The final event of the year for this organization was during Commencement week, when it gave the oratorio, The Redemption , by Gounod. In this pro- duction the Society was assisted by Professor George Fenstermacher and a select group of musicians from the Taylor Orchestra. Much credit is also due to Profcs«or Theodora Bothwell, accompanist, for her co-operation at the piano. 1 I Page Ninety-one -dr ' z- Quartettes Quartette i_irk is one of the most stimulating phases of ' J ' aylor ' s music department. It develops a spirit of co-operati(jn. in addition to cultivating a taste and ability for ensemble work. The quartettes are in demand throughout the year for various services which offer an opportunity ' to establish the ideals of Taylor with ])ure gospel messages. This team work is often extended into the summer when singers represent the college in many camp meetings. To the literary society- or club programs the quartette number is an indis- pensable adjunct. As the spring days approach, added zest and fervor characterize the prac- tice hour. Perhaps the inciting force is the prize contest held each year in the spring term. This contest is one of the most interesting and enjo} ' able events of the college year. Because women have carried off the honors for three suc- cessive years, it is believed that male and female voices cannot fairly compete; consequently a separate prize contest has been established for the men. Although the svstem of rating the quartettes in these contests is not sup- posed to be scientific, it has gi -en general satisfaction. The judges comprise three groups. — a group of artists, the regular faculty, and the audience. The artists and the faculty grade on a percentage basis, while the audience grades by a popular ballot. Page Ninety-two Department of Expression iSB(ij« fc ' vSi The Department of Expression at Taylor University, organized for the pur- pose of training young people to better take their places in the affairs of men, has had a very prosperous year during 1926-27. Professor Pogue li:is liad two very able assistants this year in the persons of Miss Bertha Phillips and Mr. Har- old Beane, and together these three have labored to lift the standards of efficiency of their department. The courses are so organized that one hundred persons can be accomodated with no class larger than twelve in number. Knowing, as they do, that many colleges allow public speaking classes to enlist as many as thirty or forty persons, they are determined upon instructing small groups, in the interest of careful personal attention to each student. This program of training has shown fine fruits in the persons enrolled under Professor Pogue and his helpers. In addition to its regular curriculum, the Expression Department sponsors a series of Lyceum entertainments. Under the management of Professor Pogue, men of international fame, such as D. Thomas Curtin and Edmund ' ance Cook, have appeared on the Taylor platform this year. Thus outside of the classroom, as well as in the classroom, the Department of Expression is helping to maintain high cultural standards at Taylor.

Saucier Prof. B. R. Pogue Prof. J. F. Owen ' e all realize that this has been Taylor ' s greatest intercollegiate debating season. Xot only has it been the greatest from the standpoint of the number of the debates on our schedule, but also from the standpoint of the size and strength of many of our forensic opponents. Such a season speaks well for those who coached the debaters. Professor Saucier and Professor Owen directed their attention toward the construction of strong forensic cases for the teams, while Professor Pogue in- structed and coached the speakers from the angle of delivery and presentation. A great deal of credit is due Professor Saucier, who, as chairman of the Com- mittee on Forensics, carried the final responsibility for the training of the debaters and the management of the forensic engagements of the season. The remarkable record established by our teams this 3 ' ear was unquestionably the result of the combined efforts of these three professors. The college authori- ties realized the strength of united effort and co-operation and they chose the trio of professors on the faculty whom they judged to be best fitted to turn out well-trained debaters. The numerous debating triumphs of this year have dem- onstrated the wisdom of their choice. Page Ninety-seven ' M ' a i ' V ' V i y i m Wovnevxs Ajfirmative ' Geam First Speaker Bertha Pollitt One characteristic that makes any argument attractive to an audience is its clear-cut deHvery. It was this attribute of effectual delivery that enabled Miss Pollitt to maintain such remarkable contact with her audience. This speaker, as a member of last year ' s squad, received her letter in debating and her fine ivork this year deserves our hearty commendation. Second Speaker Ruby Breland The best way that we can describe Miss Breland and her method of handling argument is to say that she, in her own distinctive style, easily took care of any situation that arose. Resource- ful and witty, this debater from the South was always interesting, and always made it more than interesting for the ladies of the opposition. Third Speaker Margaret Coghlan Miss Coghlan has her letter in debating. As a former member of the forensic squad, she showed her training in this year ' s work as the real leader of her team. Her insight into case construction more than occasionally spoiled the seemingly well established case of the opposing teams. Alternate Hazel Lewis .A.S a Senior this year. Miss Lewis took a very vital interest in the debating activities of Taylor. This debater, with a natural forensic turn of mind, proved to be of unusual help to her team and, as she graduates this year, the de- bating squad is certain to miss her greatly. Miss Lewis won for herself the esteem of her assoc- iates by her assistance and co-operation. K H Page Ninety-eight ' ' ! J ' IDomen ' s Tlegative ' Geam First Speaker Frances Bogue When the debate settled down to a real foren- sic struggle and the cool presentation of evidence, the spicy, logical strength of Miss Bogue ' s ar- guments always proved to be efficient. As this is her first year in intercollegiate debating work. Miss Bogue is certain to be invaluable in next year ' s forensic activities. Second Speaker AIarv Elizabeth Beebe The vigorous, resourceful debating of Miss Beebe contributed much toward the numerous victories of this team. Her style was convincing and her method of handling case in rebuttal was really notable. Taylor will have in Miss Beebe a very able debater to begin the season next year. Third Speaker AIerrette E. Hessenauer IMiss Hessenauer proved herself to be a de- bater of unusual caliber. A professor from Northwestern University spoke of Miss Hessen- auer as one of the best women debaters whom he had ever heard. It was the calm, deliberate method of summary and the handling of case that made Miss Hessenauer ' s logical appeals so gripping. Alternate Myrtle Ockenga As the alternate of the Women ' s Negative Team, Miss Ockenga showed her ability as a prospective debater and as a candidate for next year ' s women ' s team by her assistance in this year ' s work. m Page Ninety-nine !-l (Den ' s Afjflrmative ' Geam r, i First Speaker Elton Stetson After two years of successful debating work on the teams of Intermountain College at Hele- na, Montana. Mr. Stetson gave very strong sup- port to the Men ' s Affirmative Team. He came to Taylor as a Pi Kappa Delta man and he more than showed his qualifications for membership in this forensic order in his ability on the debating platform. Second Speaker Lynn Mosser Mr. Mosser has literally grown up in Tay- lor ' s forensic atmosphere, making the squad in his Freshman year. Time and practice have pol- ished and made him very effective on the debat- ing floor. He is one of the two Taylor men who last year received a Taylor Forensic Charm, given for two consecutive years of debating. Third Speaker Marcius Taber Three years of active participation on Taylor ' s debating schedule have made this debater an artist in the field of forensics. His knowledge of the subjects and breadth of experience in the handling of material have made Air. Taber an opponent who is to be feared. Mr. Taber was the other man to receive a Forensic Charm last vear. Alternate Gavlord Logan When the debating tryout was held in the fall of this year, one of the men who attracted at- tention was Mr. Logan. Although this is his first year at college he is to be commended for his interest and the healthy attitude that he has taken toward our intercoUe.giate activities. Ill f ] 1 |iiU] ( f.!h Page One Hundred L_.- CDen ' s Tlegative I;eam First Speaker Lawrence Bovll Xot a little of the negative team ' s fine record is due to the efforts of Mr. Eoyll. Pluck and spirit were the outstanding attributes of his plat- form work. This first year of debating work opens to Taylor ' s teams and ne.xt year ' s scheduL ' an able debater with plenty of interest and spirit. Second Speaker De. ne Irish Mr. Irish was especially adept in the building of a strong case and he was very strong in the art of establishing factual evidence. It is par- ticularly applicable to note that Taylor has been able to take many decisions because of e.xcellence in these two particular phases of debating work. Second Speaker Robert Clark Mr. Clark always was the most in his element when the debate waxed warm. His zeal and his consistency won distinction for him among his mates. His record this year speaks well for the showing that we expect him to make in the future. -Third Speaker Harold Ockeng- Mr. Ockenga was a member of Taylor ' s debat- ing scjuad for his second year. His enthusiasm and fine debating polish built into his team a nu- cleus of strength that helped much in the making of this very strong combination. This debater also has his letter for debating. He will be missed from next year ' s squad as he is a Senior this vear. Page One Hundred One lU-iit Debating Season in Retrospect Taylor ' s whole debating squad this year was made up of eighteen students comprising five teams and debating three different propositions. The questions dealing with the advisability of a Uniform Marriage and Divorce Law, Federal Grants-in-Aid to States, and the problem of a Federal Department of Education, were the subjects for argument. The debaters have given particular attention to the finer points of debating technique. The squad and the coaches alike have worked diligently throughout the season and the following tabulated summary eloquently attests their success: The Women ' s Schedule Place Opponents Date Springfield, O Wittenberg College Dec. 10 Upland, Ind Wittenberg College Dec. 10 Adrian, ilich .Adrian College Jan. 14 Upland.

Xot only has the banner, Weavers of Ivnowledge , been lifted high in forensic accomphshments, l)Ut the Club has been a weaver of social attainments as well. The members have put into practice the theory of gaining through the combined benefits of club activities and college courses, a well-rounded, broad-minded preparation for the future. It is during the Saturday-night club meetings that timid Mnankas cast away that shaking, choking sensation that comes to all in the first public appearance, and step from the ranks of the untrained into the ranks of the trained. The annual entertainment for the other clubs of the college was historical in Its character and setting. Airs. Alaria Bennett (Grace Olson) was hostess to a quilting party given in honor of Lincoln ' s birthday. Those who so ably represented the Club in the inter-club debates with the sister club, the Soangetaha, were the Misses Anna Stewart, Helen Forsyth, Frances Thomas, and Clara French. The Cltib ' s highest aim is self-improvement for a life of service. K ' ' }r:n III m Page One Hundred Three rn- III Soangetaha debating Club i ■ ( ' « ' i;!

This organization is known as the Soangetaha Debating Club. It is famous for its logic in deljating, it ' s unique social functions, and its strong-hearted maidens . All through the years the members of this club have endeavored to broaden their own lives in order that they might be of greater service to the world. They ha ' e engaged in many friendly battles with their sister clul). the AInanka, and have gained much from these forensic encounters. They find their sister club to be a strong opponent and the Championship Banner has changed hands many times. The year 1926-1927 is a milestone in the history of this club. In order to give more girls an opportunity to join her ranks and to gain the benefits derived from practicing her standards, the Club has adopted a new constitution, which provides for an enlargement of membership and meets other needs which have presented themselves during this era of growth. itt Page One Hundred Four ■ ji ZT Eulogonian Debating Club lana c?si s ' x e£ MBT ' IS WBtm W ■ ■ ■ ■ ' SJ1 « Si ' SSt SBSan rtMSKcP is! - ' : ' ■■ .« « . p ' .

' The coveted position which Taylor holds in the forensic field is due largely to the work of her debating clubs. The Eulogonian Assembly, one of the best parliamentary organizations of the college, has supplied a large number of inter- collegiate debaters in the years of Taylor ' s success in forensic contests. During the winter term of this year the Club afforded splendid training for its members in both debating and parliamentar}- law by conducting itself as a legislative body, acting and passing upon important measures drawn up by various members of the political factions ' . Such a form of club procedure resulted in heated debates in which every member participated. Realizing that having one ' s name upon the roll of a debating club is of little .profit to a member unless he takes an active part in the various phases of club life, the Eulogonian Club urges every member to engage in the club activities in order that he may develop to the maximum degree. Under the leadership of its capable officers and with Professor V. A. Saucier as adviser, the Club has gone forward with Progres.s as its motto, and has done much to benefit its members. .

Mind, the I ' ower of Alan! This mysterious saying appeared about the campus early in the school year and mystified even the Eurekas, till their cur- iosity was appeased at the annual Eureka Jamboree , where it was revealed that this was a modification of the original motto of the Club. Rush dav increased the membership to eighty men who desired to develop this God-given power in man. New methods had to be developed to handle such a number. This was done by dividing the Club into sections for certain parts of its activities, thus tripling the number of men in action and doubling the number who gained experience in oflices. New quarters were found in the three Expression rooms on the third floor of the Administration liuilding, where work has gone forward by leaps and bounds. The same spirit has activated the Club as before, although the outward forms have changed. Its members are still drawn together by cords of brotherly love which received a test this year by the death of two of its loyal members in an automobile accident. The Eurekas responded royally and extended their sympathy and contriljutions to aid in every possible way. The Eureka Debating Club established a precedent on the Taylor campus this year by organizing a glee club and orchestra and giving a high-class musical entertainment.

Evelyn Due ye a Secretary Neva Kletzing Treasurer Leon York The nature of man is threefold — mental, moral, and physical. If the proper development of any of these inherent parts of man ' s makeup is overlooked, the achievement of maximum efficiency is impossible. The Taylor University Athletic Association is organized ]irimarily to pro- mote the physical welfare of Taylor students. At the beginning of the school year of 1924-1925, the Association was placed in complete management of the student body. This plan has proved to be very efficient in regulating the various athletic enterprises of the college. Each of the four major sports at Taylor — baseball, basketball, tennis, and track — has its own manager. The foundation for a much needed gymnasium is already laid. We are hoping that it will be completed before the fall term of 1927. The Athletic Association has for its purpose : the stimulation of clean, wholesome athletics; the care of the gymnasium, athletic fields, and equipment; and the constant, hearty support of all reasonable and beneficial plans for the elevation of the status of athletics at Taylor. :il|l Page One Hundred Seven li ' Ui ' ' !

The 1926 baseball season started with a somewhat lopsided game between the Eureka and Eulogonian debating clubs. The Eulogonians. in spite of their showing in the first game, came back strong in the second game and almost made a third game necessary. The Philalethean-Thalonian series was sharply contested from beginning to end. The teams were evenly matched and the brand of baseball that they pro- duced drew many interested spectators to every game. There are rum ors aljroad that the Class of 1927 is going to Ijuild an athletic field as their memorial nn the Taylor University campus. Dame Rumor is also the authority for the statement that this new field will contain excellent baseball diamonds for both men and women. With this better equipment in view, the prospect is bright for Taylor ' s baseball future. t, Will EUREKA-EULOGOXIAX SERIES Eureka 17 Eulogonian Eureka 8 Euloaonian.

Page One Hundred Ten 1926-1927 Basketball Season ■! li 1! i 1 ;ii H j 1 M The 1926-1927 basketball season was a season of intense interest at Tayloi . The inter-club series and the inter-society series were v.arnily contested. The gymnasium was crowded to the doors for every encounter. Those who witness- ed the contests will remember how the men ' s inter-society series looked like an easy Thalonian triumph. Then the Philalethean stalwarts rallied and carried the series to a full nine games, only to suffer defeat at the hands of the Thalon- ians in the final engagement. The Societies backed their teams especially well throughoiu the season. Al Krause and Leonard Tripp extracted yells from the Thalonian rooters. while Wayne York led the Philalethean supporters. A glance at the past basket- ball season, with its fine spirit of rivalry and the healthful enjoyment it has furnished a large number of Taylor students, is sufficient to vindicate the society and club idea in the athletic realm. In spite of the fact that Taylor does not place special stress upon athletics, the past basketball season disclosed some excellent plavers. Another remarkable feature which the season disclosed was the comparatively large number of players of real merit in the ranks of both societies. The men ' s and women ' s squads alike contained a wealth of valuable basketball material. All the teams were decidedly not one-man teams.

Carlton Shultz Forward Carlton was very adept on short shots. The score book registers a score of count- ers that he made throughout the season. Lawrence Bovll Guard Lawrence was a steady, dependable guard who used his excellent physique to good ad- vantage against the Thalonian onslaughts.

Fate kept their pictures out of the line-up. liiif illl Page One Hundred Fifteen Eulog II ' M i ' I Oman Oeam John Shilling Forward {Capt. and Mgr.) Jack fought hard for the Eulogonian Debating Club.

Carlton Shultz Forward Carlton was usually on the job with his short, over-head shots. He was one of the most closely guarded men on the team, and yet he found the basket time after time. Edward Frank Guard ( Captain ) Ed. was a fast guard. It took a fast and wily Eulogonian forward to get past him for a .goal. Neil Compton Center Neil was especially good at getting away from his opponents. He was a cool, calcul- ating strategist on the basketball court. Robert Gorrell Forward Bob played a flashy game. What is more, the flashes were consistent. AsBURY Steele Forward Asbury was a sensational player. This was his first year in Taylor athletics, but he made a place for himself among Taylor athletes. Kenneth Chubb Substitute Guard Although Kenneth did not get to play in all the games, he always gave a good account of himself when he did play. K Page One Hundred Seventeen l ' IJ I Athletics at ' Gaylor I .1,;. iii ' i We Americans need more of what Professor James calls the gospel of re- laxation. With our busy daily life we are coming to believe more and more in that gospel, and an increasing number of American men and women every year enter the field of athletic recreation and physical development. The idea is not to enter athletics for the sake of laurels, but because we know that to possess strong and vigorous minds we need also to have strong and vigorous bodies. At Taylor almost everyone becomes interested in all the various sports of the year. In fact a glimpse of the festivity and competition of an ancient Gre- cian Olympic all but comes to life as the inter-club and inter-society teams meet in their yearly contests to decide the athletic supremacy of the campus. One of the supreme sights to be seen at Taylor is the opening of each game when the two teams of stalwart players bow in meditative silence to their God as they ask for help and guidance. In the actual clash and competitive struggles that ensue, the balanced poise of the Taylor contestants is very manifest. Spirit, rivalry, and loyalty are the outstanding attributes; yet these are all subject to a cool, common sense program which does not place all of the interest in the athlete, nor, on the other hand, develop a class of intellectual snobs and bookish theorists. Because of the number of societies and clubs, a long range of athletic endeavor is open to every student. Everyone has an opportunity and no one is submerged in his attempts by a class of professional athletes who not onlv usually hold a permanent position in some sport, but also discourage others from enter- ing that field. Taylor ' s athletic atmosphere is democratic. It is hardly necessary to enumerate the benefits that come to any student who not only keeps a high standard in his intellectual attainments, but also keeps himself fit by consistent physical exercise. The advantages of the physical train- ing that comes through a well balanced athletic program are numerous. From the physical standpoint, athletic contests develop physical strength, dexterity, grace, and speed. At the same time they make for mental acuteness and poise in facing emergencies. Xot only are the intellectual and physical attributes quickened, but the moral nature is simultaneously stimulated. In the athlete such qualities as self-control, self-reliance, endurance, and courage are to be found. It is these qualities that Taylor ' s balanced athletic program develops and enhances.

The Alumni Association of Taylor University was never more alive than it has been this year. At the 1926 June meeting there was an unusually large at- tendance. The Rev. Herbert Boase, the president, called the roll bv years, and members responded from nearly every year since 1897. The following officers were elected as directors for the year, which office entitles them to membership in the Legal Hundred for their term of office : The Reverends Herbert Boase, William H. Harrison, True S. Haddock, P. E. Green- wait, and J. Floyd Seelig ; and Judge Owen N. Heaton, and Miss Sadie Miller. Several other members of the Association are members of the Legal Hundred. Many alumni of Taylor are making good in different ways and in all parts of the world. In the North Indiana Conference the highest grades in conference studies are often made by Taylor men, while a large majority of the conversions in the conference are under the ministry of Taylor preachers. Now, from an eastern conference comes this report: The Taylor boys had the highest grades in their studies of anyone. A recent letter from former Taylor students now in Africa, ends with these words : When we consider in a single season over eight hundred souls have found their Savior. . . do you wonder that our hearts say ' Praise God from whom all blessings flow ' ? Page One Hundred Nineteen ' 1 J I. Caylor Graduates Taylor University every year confers degrees upon a select group of young men and women. These alumni are serving in numerous capacities in various parts of the world. The largest number of them, however, are engaged in edu- cational or Christian ministerial pursuits. In order to give an idea of how Taylor graduates find their positions in the world ' s work soon after graduation and also to give an idea of the success of the earlier graduates, the Alumni Editor has compiled the following information. A supplement to this group of alumni may be found under Taylor Missionaries. THE CLASS OE 1926 Ruth Lortz is the pastor of a church at Mohler, Washington.

Page One Hundred Twenty-three Cosmopolitan £eague jmjf- j «7 From the dawn of her early history, Taylor has had a small group of foreign students engaged in pursuing an education where Light and Faith ' make of all nations one. ' e cannot presume to tell what the influence will be. of those who have visited the halls of Taylor and have carried Light and Faith back to their own people ; but we know that the influence will count for righteousness and the rule of the Prince of Peace among all peoples and tongues. Of late years the foreign students have leagued themselves into a gospel team and, as time and opportunity have permitted, they have visited nearby churches, presenting the needs of their native countries and testifying to personal salvation and definite calls to Christian service. A few among the group are the children of missionary parents and, although not foreign by blood, are valuable assets to the League because experience has taught them to appreciate the power of Christ to lift those in darkness. The motto of the Cosmopolitan banner signifies the spirit of the group : Though separated by race and language and custom, yet the overwhelming love of Christ makes of many, one in God. And such a unity is the bond of peace among the Taylor nationalities and the promise of a similar peace among the nations of the world. Page One Hundred Twenty-four i!

The college is the fountainhead of religious, social, and political ideals. 2. Eighty years of consistent service gives assurance that Taylor will not prove fickle. 3. Taylor ' s product ranks with the best in the standard of talent and consecration to the fields given of preaching, missions, education, reform, statecraft, the professions, and the high of- fice of common citizenship. 4. There is an opposition to Biblical faith and good old home- spun living that would press Taylor out of the college field, were its friends to do less for it than what other classes of people are doing for their kinds of colleges. 5. Other colleges can make an appeal to philanthropists to whom all colleges look alike, or draw on the tax budget. The fact that all colleges do not look alike to you should call you to Taylor ' s colors. 6. There is a tendency for students who have unusual capac- ity with plenty of money to go to high-brow colleges. Taylor constantly falls heir to intellectual young people of limited means but rich in character. ■ . 7. The service Taylor University has rendered through three generations to young people who might have missed their chance, and the fact that the school is set to continue this work, is enough to make a saint look down from glory with regrets, if in his life he failed to take some part in building up the insti- tution and perpetuating its usefulness. |(-;--!- Page One Hundred Thirty-one . ] ' i ' ' I ' l ;ii 1 ' A :.
