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.
