During the earl ' days of the institution in Fort Wayne the control of the school was in the hands of the M. E. Conference. Later the management of the school was placed in the hands of the National Association of Local Preachers. Then it was that the school was named for Bishop William Taylor. Dr. C. B. Stemen, a member of the board of directors, served as president until Dr. Thaddeus C. Reade was chosen. In the beginning of Dr. Reade ' s administration the school was moved from Fort Wa ne to Upland and was incorporated as Taylor University of Upland, Indiana. Dr. Reade assumed the entire financial responsibility of the school. Under his leadership the administration building was built, the largest gift coming from Mrs. J. C. Wright of Washington, D. C, whose husband was president of the Board of Trustees. What is now Sammy Morris hall, and what used to be the old dining hall, was also built at this time. After Dr. Reade had carried the financial load for about nine ) ' ears, the trustees assumed control. The niembers of the Board, residing in Upland and within easy reach, bore the brunt of the burdens and from time to time got behind the school ' s liabilities with their own private gifts and endorsements. Dr. John H. Shilling, who was the Vice-President, was acting President during Dr. Reade ' s illness. Dr. Winchester of Buffalo was the next president. Dr. A. R. Archibald succeeded him, serving until Dr. Monroe Vavhinger came. Under Dr. Vayhinger ' s leadership the Music Fiall was built and named in honor of Mrs. Helena Gehman who gave the gift in memory of her husband. The money for the auditorium was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Israel Shreiner and the Chapel was named in honor of them. The main gift for Swallow Robin hall was contributed by Dr. S. C. Swallow and his wife. At this time Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Campbell gave large gifts to the school. Dr. Taylor succeeded Dr. Vayhinger in 1921 and it was during his administration that the present heating plant was built, the south eighty acre farm was acquired, and numerous houses were purchased and built. Dr. Ayres was acting-President between Dr. Taylor ' s and Dr. Paul ' s administra- tions. Under Dr. Paul ' s leadership the Legal Hundred was organized. This body now has financial control of the school. ( C-s TWENTY-ONE iam Taylor IN CALIFORNIA T ' AYLOR UNIVERSITY is named in honor of the man who rose from the rank of local preacher to the episcopacy. To appreciate the significance of this honor to our institution it is necessary to take a glimpse into the life of this man whose unadorned simplicity enhances the greatness of his work. His life was interwoven with the religious history of his age. To know him is to learn of it. In the days of preparation he taught school and became a circuit rider in Virginia. He was serving as pastor of a church when in 1849 he was appointed by Bishop Waugh as a missionary to California. William Taylor did evangelistic work in the States, Canada, England, Wales, South America and Australia. He also did missionary work in India and the West Indies. In 1885, after a brief sojourn in the United States, he accepted the bishopric of Africa and became a second Livingston to the peoples of the Dark Con- tinent. With a knowledge of the world-wide vision of this man of God, it is not surprising that the school which bears his name should have a similar world-wide vision. Having found a school which tallied with the spiritual passion of his soul, we are not surprised that Bishop Taylor said, This work is of God, and gave it his hearty endorsement, prayed for it three times every day, assisted it by his influence and with his means. His name has many times been used by the financial department of the school as an incentive in securing funds. He assisted in the laying of the corner stone of the present Administration Building. Taylor is a monument to him who was a friend to God and man. - ft? ' - - TWENTY-TWO T ON THE CAMPUS D OCTOR THADDEUS C. READE is the most outstanding figure in the early development of Tayl or University. The story of his association with the school is one of sacrifice and labor. He loved the school and proved his regard by his work. He bore the entire financial burden of the school for years. At one time the dean of the college received a larger salary than did Dr. Reade. For a long period of time Dr. Reade hired his teachers and personally paid their salaries. He had a meager private for- tune of a few thousand dollars which he turned over into the school treasury. He personally made himself responsible for the maintenance of the school. His whole life was one of self sacrifice for the cause which he ardently supported. Dr. Reade ' s character was of such a calibre that the patrons of the school were willing to support him in all he undertook. There were times when he made promises to creditors of the school which, from all visible r esources, were impossible of fulfillment. Nevertheless, in time Dr. Reade was able to fulfill all his obligations. Dr. Reade probably did more to place the school on a firm basis and to establish its credit than any other one person during the early days. Dr. Reade personally chose the site of the school and contracted with the Upland Land Company for the necessary land. He surprised the building program and himself solicited funds for the running expenses of the school among the friends of the school situated mainly in the East. We do well to honor the memory of the man who so ably established and main- tained our institution in its earh ' beginnings. It is hoped that his life and sacrifice may be an example to others. ( U TWENTY-THREE WHEN Dr. John Paul came to Taylor Universiry in the fall of 1922, he came from a very successful administration as Vice-President of Asbury College. Dr. P.iul found our financial situation in bad condition. The first year of his administration was a very trying one to him, the embarrassment of unpaid bills facing him and his business manager day after day. It was about this time that he called to his assistance Mr. E. O. Rice, and together the two began the re-shaping of the school ' s obligations by first declaring a receivership. Within a year ' s time a one hundred thousand dollar bond issue had been floated, obliga- tions to different firms had been settled, and much of the school ' s financial strain placed in the hands of friends. Among those largely responsible for the successful re-shaping of school finance was Mrs. Ella M. Magee whose consecrated gifts totaled over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The next stage in Dr. Paul ' s plan for the financial development of Taylor Univer- sity came in the organization of the Legal Hundred in September, 1923. The Legal Hundred has proved a very great steadying force in the financial life of the institution and many business men have declared it a unique organization. Dr. Paul next proposed that the College begin a campaign for one million dollars endowment, the first unit of five hundred thousand dollars to be completed by January 1st, 1928. The response to this Goal Endowment was very gratifying and at the October meeting of the Legal Hundred in 1927 the President announced the completion of the first unit and the starting of the second, which he has been pleased to call The Bishop Taylor or Service Endowment; and some seventy thousand dollars have to date come to that fund. Within this school year Dr. Paul suggested that The Legal Hundred establish large banking interests with some strong financial corporation, this institution to become trustee to the school. At this date plans for this trusteeship have developed most satisfactorily. The Peoples State Bank of Indianapolis has taken over the collection of the school ' s pledges, has authorized and completed the establishment of a budget system, and by September plans to float a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar bond issue, thus enabling the institution to go on a cash basis. The plan has won the full support of the Board of Directors of the Legal Hundred and is being looked forward to by everyone as the most helpful bit of college financing Taylor has experienced in years. There are not enough letters in the name Paul to spell progress, but there is enough genius and energy put into the long hours this President sits behind his desk, day after day and week after week, to spell anything and do anything; and it all is progress. --V ( TWENTY-FOUR The Lesdl Hundred PRFS. B. W. AYRn5 SECY., B. R. POGUE TThe Legal Hundred of Taylor University was organized in 1923 as the governing body of this institution. So timely was its advent that the financial difficulties were adjusted and new vigor surged through every department of the college. Quoting from the Legal Hundred Articles of Association, we learn the constitution of this body: The school shall be interdenominational in its service, and a member of any Christian denomination in harmony with the doctrine and policy of the school shall be eligible to a place on its faculty or its board of control subject to the ratio hereinafter defined. Taylor University shall be known as a school maintaining the traditional evangelistic policies of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with its traditional attitude to the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God; its governing body shall consist of this Foundation, known as the Legal Hundred of Taylor University. The Legal Hundred shall own the property and control and direct the policies of the institution, subject to the terms of this charter, with full power to make contracts, sales and purchases, and, as a trust corporation or foundation, to sue and be sued. The members of this organization hold membership for life, or until they resign or are expelled according to the rules of the By-Laws. This plan not only makes for careful and selective choice of members, but has a tendency to stimulate continuity of interest in the institution on the part of those chosen. ; ( U TWENTY-FIVE THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT THE era of the special endowment program for Taylor University began in the early spring of 1927. At that time there were endowment values between two and three hundred thousand dollars. While there was considerable indebtedness to coun- teract the value of this endowment, the president assigned the indebtedness mainly to the new building worth a quarter of a million dollars, the product of which would otfset the interest on the indebtedness and look toward its liquidation. With the case thus stated to the Legal Hundred and the Alumni Association, the Goal Endowment was launched as a special movement. It was called the Goal Endow- ment because of its aim to secure five hundred thousand dollars of endowment which is now the minimum standard requirement. The Goal Endowment reached its highest tide of enthusiasm at the 1927 com- mencement. Many of the guests made liberal subscriptions. The enthusiasm was so contagious on the morning of the graduation exercises that even the commencement speaker. Dr. H. C. Morrison, permitted the announcement of a liberal gift from him. The Goal Endowment program continued under this name until the fall meeting of the Legal Hundred, October 26. At that time it still fell thirty or forty thousand dollars short of the goal, but the Legal Hundred designated enough of its sustentation pledges to declare the first five hundred thousand dollars completed. tiv ' 4? ' ' W- ' TWENTY-SK Taylor tNDOWMENT BOOSTERS IT was the president ' s belief that the appeal for endowment would be made with better effect if the school would announce a new unit of half a million for its objective, naming this in honor of Bishop William Taylor, the namesake of Taylor University. The school has had no special finance organization for any of these developments, but has relied upon the loyalty of the faculty, students, alumni and Legal Hundred. As this publication goes to the press, the total is approaching the hundred thousand dollar mark in subscriptions and bequests. The school ' s ultimate objective will be two million dollars for endowment. This is a very conservative resource for an institution like Taylor in rendering a world service. In both the Goal Endowment and the William Taylor Endowment the Legal Hundred has been organized into ten groups, each group being asked to sponsor one- tenth of the amount sought. The chairmen of the groups are: H. C. Miller, John Paul, B. W. Ayres, Rufus A. Morrison, John F. Owen, Barton Rees Pogue, Mrs. Elizabeth T. Stanley, Monroe Vayhinger, Myron E. Taylor, Francis J. Thomas. A million dollars would make an individual tolerably rich these days, but this much devoted to an institution like Taylor University, rendering a world service, will not make the school rich. It will prepare the school to fill its place in the light of world needs. Monroe Vayhinger, B.D.,D.D. i: e ' ' ' TWENTY-EIGHT TWENTY-NINE Burt W. Ayres, Ph. D. Philosophy and Psychology ' - 4?

NE of the baby organizations of Taylor University, upon its second year of existence, has found that duties increase with growth. This organization was initiated in the year 1926-27, in order that students may have a part in the government of the school. The members of the Council are composed of representatives from each class, including the Special Students. In order that honor may be bestowed upon him to whom honor is due, the presidency of the Council is occupied by a Senior representa- tive. This year, Mr. Harrison Wilcox, a capable member of the senior class, was presi- dent of this organization. Miss Anna Stewart, as a representative of the Junior Class, has been of invaluable assistance to the president in his executive work. Mr. Russell Metcalf was elected by the Sophomore class, and the Freshmen secured Mr George Lee to serve as their representative. Both of these classes are also to be congratulated for their wise selection of men, for they certainly carry with them those abilities which are so necessary in their work. Miss Lillian Scott, one of our post graduate students and representing the group of Special Students, served as the council secretary. She has performed her duties very efficiently. The duties of the Council this year have been varied, and in everything there has been splendid cooperation. kf ' FORTV BESSIE BRO CN EVELtN UUKYEA TRA IS PURD ' Bessie Brown Rockford, Ohio Epworth Evangelistic Institute, St. Louis, Mo.

FORTY-FIVE SAMMY S GRAVES CHOOSING ;i class gift is a unique problem for many are the worthy objects which present themselves for consideration, but pecuniary limitations make a careful discrimination necessary. The Class of ' 28 found a further problem. Because of the small number who compose its ranks, any contribution made by the class members alone would necessarily be meagre and not at all commensurate with the present needs. Thus, it was decided that efforts should be made to augment the funds contributed by the class to enable the giving of something worth while. Taylor ' s School of Music needed a pipe organ if it were to maintain its position in the music world. The class felt that by hard work and through the contributions of friends of Taylor University this need could be supplied. Consequently, on May 23, a Tellers-Kent three-manual organ, valued at $10,000, was dedicated in Shreiner audito- rium of the Music building. The organ with a movable console has thirty speaking stops, eighteen couplers, contains a harp, and has a complete set of piston combinations with alternate toe pistons for each manual. Not content with the gift of the organ alone the class agreed to include in its project a two-fold memorial to the life of Sammy Morris. Thousands are familiar with the name of this native African lad who through faith was led from the darkness of heathendom to the shores of America to find the Holy Spirit and to get an education. Jorge Masa, a member of the senior class, wrote a complete biography of Sammy Morris. In the beautiful Lindenwood Cemetery of Fort Wayne, Indiana, on March 2 2, his body was reinterred in a more conspicuous place, and two months later a fitting monument was dedicated to his memory, as a gift from the citizens of Fort Wayne and sponsored by the Class of ' 28. Sammy Morris became famous as a Christian mystic, and people could not resist the magnetism of the dynamic which he possessed. He gave a seal of spirituality to Taylor University and deepened the missionary zeal of its students. His life is a living testimony that Christianity can adequately meet every form of human need; that in Christ there is neither bond nor free ; and that each race makes a contribution to the others. Although Sammy ' s life was short, his influence goes on into eternity, con- stantly witnessing for the God who cares and loves. ' -- (k ' FORTY-SIX ROSELL MILLER DOROTHY ATKINSON MARY E.

In the midst of the mountain was a mighty cavern, containing a great forge, and guarded by a secret door. Behold, suddenly I stood before the door and heard a voice, What dost thou here, man? And I said, I would prophesy. And the voice said, Bring thy scroll and write; behold, the time it at hand. Whom seek ye? Among this wicked people there are but few who shall be written here — those who were faithful to their youthful vision. And I said, I seek the name of a school, that is to say Taylor, and of the tribe of ' 28. Then I looked and behold the name of a school appeared. And he said, Write! So I wrote the name of Taylor, in letters of gold, tipped with fire and crimson blood. And the hammer descended upon the anvil, and I looked and behold it was the name of Jorge Masa. One of my mystic saints, it said, giving his life for the brown children among the Philippmes. At the next blow there appeared the name of Mclvhia Glcasoii gracing a parsonage home, and the mother of six. Again the hammer fell, and lo, there were produced beautiful harmonies, which lifted the soul into ecstatic delight and I wrote the name of Helen Bums. Then came the name of George Edie, a preacher — bold, eccentric, the enemy of bobbed hair. Three times the anvil rang forth, and behold I saw the names of three faithful servants of great churches; they were Ernest Hamilton, Rosell Miller and Louis Runion. The next name was that of Gertrude Jackson. She had refused the ardent hand of Orlo Rupp in order to teach domestic science. Again the hammer fell, and lo a marvel was wrought — two names forged as one inseparable, Deane Irish and Betty Beebe. Another blow and Charles Wideinan, announcer for the great radio station B. U. N. K. Chicago, was revealed. Thus, as I wrote, the hammer fell again and as the smoke cleared away from the ringing anvil, behold there shown forth a calm, sweet, brave missionary from the heart of Africa, Anna Osmun. Thus on and on: there was Dorothy Atkinson, a teacher of renown in Washington, D. C. Ruby Breland was gracing the home of a college president in true southern style. Esther Blank, a great leader for Less Work For Women, was the arch enemy of all deans of women. Frances Bogue and Ora Taylor, both disappointed in love, were devoting their lives to relief work in the heart of Chicago. There was shock upon shock and again I looked and saw the name of Ruth Flood, world renown reader and artist. The next was Don Lewis, a man of ability, head of the Methodist Board of Temperance and Public Morals; Elton Stetson, editor of the Community Courier of Upland; Lela Macy, head librarian of the Chicago city library. Edith Markham was a faithful teacher at Taylor University. Next I saw Leona Purchis, whose voice blessed the world, even though she were married. The next blow forged a second love link — Earl Allen, a man of brain, and Frances Thomas, a woman of will, bound as one for time and eternity. Again I looked and behold, there was sturdy, loyal Harry Wilcox, President of the University of Michigan. Then for the last time the hammer ascended from the quivering anvil and there was the name of Wesley Draper whom the world loved because of his poems and stories. As the final echo died away through the hollow chambers of the cavern, I looked and saw that the forge was but a mass of dying embers. So I sealed the book and a great thunder was heard in the cavern, and a smoke enveloped me so that I was confounded, and knew nothing, neither remembered I any of the things which had been revealed to me. jPiJ Cs FIFTY-THREE T?T ' C T ' V_ ' Ci- TTI FIFTY-FOUR FIFTY-PIVE j 4?

SIXTY-THREE SNtAK DAY IN the fall of 192 5 seventeen states sent representatives to make up the Class of Activities, the class of ' 29. As Freshmen, we adjusted ourselves to Taylor and her standards. As Sophomores we learned to take our part in Taylor ' s activities, and demonstrated this by sending an expedition of our forces to pursue the Seniors on their annual caprice. For three years now there has been an increase in that class spirit which aims to develop Christian character. The higher we climb, the grander the view, seemed to vibrate as the turning seasons brought our class together to enter upon the Junior year. Two year ' s climb caused us to know our friends, to love our college, to see the world, and with willing hearts to serve. Thus, we climbed; and while we climbed to execute Taylor ' s traditions, we insti- tuted our own original Junior Day. On the morning of November 3 0, our class adviser led the chapel hour. At noon the class app eared in crimson and gray sweaters. In the evening a program of Junior talent was presented, in addition to the reading of The Hour Glass by Prof. Pogue. And still we climb — climb, to see the view grow grander yet, having received the Light from that hidden Source that will forever light the world. SIXTY-FOUR SIXTY-FIVE t: 4? ' ;  ' u,, FLORENCE JETT GERALD WESCHE ELSA BUCHANAN EVERETT CULP KENNETH FOX MISS Elsa Buchanan, the president of the sophomore class, was a very able leader. Under her guidance and with the cooperation of the members of the class, achievement was spelled out in bold letters. When Miss Buchan.in spoke she commanded attention. Her ability as an executive was very acceptable and stimulated the class to render the best of service. Mr. Fox, vice-president of this organization, is a conscientious lad from Wisconsin. He cooperated with Miss Buchanan and showed a fine spirit in the carrying out of all his duties. The secretary of the class was Miss Florence Jett. Miss Jett has been one of the most active young ladies on our campus this year. With all her several duties she kept her books well and the Sophomore class was proud to call her their secretary. Mr. Gerald Wesche, the man who banked for the sophomore class, proved to be a go-getter. Money seemed to be his middle name and at the close of the year he had accumulated quite a substantial sum as a nest egg for us when we became juniors. Every Wednesday evening we heard these words spoken clearly from the lips of Everett Gulp, All sophomores please remember your prayer meeting tomorrow morning. Mr. Gulp was the circuit preacher, that is chaplain, of our class. -  SIXTY-SEVEN The Sophomore Convention IN the far off city of Florence (Jett) which is celebrated for its art, Roses, Shephards and its St. Bciiards (Leigh) , the majority Owen-ed by two Masters (Ina Mae) , Castro and Palaiio — there was held beneath the Ray (Turner) of the Hob-son the annual Taylor convention of the Cbristensen Sophomores. At the blow of the Buchanan Brokaw, Ciirrie and Monikern Chase-d Sever-n Sophomores from the Gray Hall and Ruby (Shaw) Chambers while the Miller and blackSw ) assisted the Piper in furnishing the music as the Sophomores came out. At the roll call all were Fuller fun but were L ir i-ed by the president to be quiet so that the business could be carried on. Then much interest was displayed by the Sophomores as their names were read, for each one had become famous according to his own word. One fellow who Met-a-calf and was named Chubb carried a pet Fox under his arm and was gleefully introduced to the audience as the court jester for queen Consuelo (Massa) . John Paul Jones, famous war fighter arose and donated a Koch stove to the clan that cost Somcrs near to fifty dollars. Helen (Hockett) that rivalled Helen of Troy next came up and directed her Knight (Worth) to hand a Reynold painting of McAllister in honor of his former service in Taylors Tip Top Trading Post. When a Trout dinner was promised to the class all kept Mum-by aiding in keeping silence in order that the roll call might come to an end. Patrick next was greeted by the crowd but her Pierce-ing eyes soon captivated the heart of fair Willis and won him away from the limelight. This incident caused Culp to Clench his fists in jealous rage and strive to win the charm of Ona (Ingerson). Much argument was forthcoming when All fie nominated Doris (Connelly) as Preceptress for the following year. She was elected although Collins was a close competitor. After Gorcll and Hazelton coached a basketball game in honor of the convention then Atkinson played a few selections on the piano. Plans were made to have the next convention at Jackson, Michigan, 13 Lczi ' is street, Martindalc Manor; after which dinner was enjoyed and good-byes were said. Then the Sophomores departed and left Maynard to put out the lights. Well such a convention! Never was the campus of Taylor visited by a more progressive bunch of conveners. The next convention of Sophomores which meets at T. U. will have to go some to complete such a memorable event as did this jolly class. It Much was accomplished by the Convention. Many problems of science were mastered, diction was purified, and dignity was acquired. Every Sophomore was satis- fied with the event and as Juniors next year they expect to spell out the victories of this year in a more illustrious way. -— v ' ' ' ' V ' ' - SnCTY-EIGHT CONVENTION DELEGATES TWO years is not enough time in which to give an insight on the history or a class, but it is quite sufficient when it deals with a class that is growing in importance as the class of 1930. Under the leadership of Wendell Owen and Elsa Buchanan the class started her Freshmen days and steadily fitted into the activities of Taylor. She became accustomed to Taylor ' s ideals and traditions. The big feature of the year was the Freshmen picnic held in the fall term. When another year rolled by the old students and a few new ones welded together in a firmer bond of cooperation and quickly demonstrated the true Taylor spirit, not only in religious activities but also in their class enthusiasm and loyalty. The first event of this year was the Sophomore picnic held in the Glenn — a memor- able event that will not soon be forgotten. Many say the Freshmen have all the pep — but who will say the Sophomores were behind the times when they surprised the Seniors on Senior Day and gave them a unique home-coming reception? Valentine Day was not overlooked for it was celebrated in the nature of a dinner. Who can forget the Valentine exchange and the extemporaneous verses given at the dinner? Surely the class of 1930 has constituted no small link in the Taylor chain. SIXTY-NINE e ' ' U ' MARVIN STUART WALLACE DEYO HAROLD SPENCER MARY DAVIDSON HOOVER PICKLESIMER IN the first meeting of the freshmen class called by Mr. George Lee, after quite a scramble Mr. Wallace Deyo, a lanky lad from Minnesota, proved to be the lucky man for president. The freshmen were not sorry that they chose Mr. Deyo as their president, for as duty called he was faithful to obey. Iowa contributed the vice-president of the freshmen class, in the person of Mr. Marvin Stuart. This young man assisted Mr. Deyo whenever he was needed and par- ticipated in all the activities of the class. Marv is a regular vice-president. Miss Mary Davidson with her shrewd pen carefully and consistently did the secre- tarial work of this class of ' 31. This young lady deserves much credit for the patience with which she sorted out the valuable motions and other material voiced in the fresh- men meetings. Mr. Hoover Picklesimer could not stay with us throughout the entire year. Due to eye trouble he was called home, but before he left his faithful orbs had searched out practically every member of our class and he had extracted from each one his yearly dues. Thanks, Pickles, for your effective work as treasurer of our class. What has been said of the chaplains of our upper classes can be repeated of Mr. Harold Spencer, the preacher for the ' 31 ers. Every Thursday morning an able speaker was provided and a goodly number were present for prayer, due to the tireless efforts of this worthy chaplain. Spencer ' s work as chaplain gives us insight into what he can do when he takes his station at his future post. i( U SEVENTY-ONE THROUGH the green Woods, down the Long, winding path strolled the loving pair. 0,ivcn will you be mine? he begged.

He bowed in defeat, then suddenly he lifted his head and demanded, Where is that man? I ' ll find him! I ' ll teach him! I ' ll find him, if I have to go clear to Middleton! Oh, you mustn ' t do that, Joe, you mustn ' t, she cried. I will, he repeated doggedly. She started up with Blanched face. But he would kill you! He is as strong as a lion — he is a hhckSmith. What difference does it make to you if he kills me? he demanded. Mary blushed and then stammered, B-because I-I love you — I was only trying to test you. Is it true? he breathed, Or em I dreaming? Nothing shall Sever nor separate us, she promised. Tenderly he placed on her fi.nger a ring set with a Gladstone. —; v y ' Lu • SFVENTY-TWO VERDANT FROSH IN the fall of its eighty-second year Taylor opened wide its portals to embrace the present Freshman class. Its enthusiasm trampled over prejudice and opposition and overwhelmed obstacles. Taylor had called the new-comers to an unselfish work, cleansed by devotion to an ideal. Losing no time in organization the class held its first meeting October 17, 1927. The officers who were elected are outstandingly leading the class in the work of embodying in their lives the divine and spiritual element of the school. The class is already becoming an asset to the college. It can display and advertise talent that would rival any similar representative body in any scholastic institution. It has contributed to Taylor a prize male quartette. Freshmen have broken into all of Taylor ' s circles. Prayer meetings every Thursday morning testify to their faith in God. This class has shown its possibilities when it has been given charge of the Literary programs and various religious meetings, and members of the class are well represented in every society. With one accord the class selected as its advisor Professor Furbay, who is indeed a true friend to the Freshmen, and whose influence is felt by every student. Royal and pure, as signified by the Freshmen colors purple and white, are repre- sentative of that ideal which the Freshmen are endeavoring to attain. The class already feels its indebtedness to friends of Taylor who have guided in upholding the Taylor character. k u SEVENTY-THREE 5s r ' ' . SEVENTY-FOUR THE group of Special Students at Taylor University include some who are post graduates and some who are taking their work in music, art, and expression, and some who do not have enough credits to become full fledged freshmen. This group makes a vital contribution to our college activities. In the past under the organization of our University, we had an academy but since the administration found it more convenient to limit our student body to those of college or university rank, we have done away with this department. Thus every year the unclassified students grow fewer, but those students taking art, music, and expression, together with our post graduates, perpetuate this organization. This group goes through the same administrative responsibilities as do the other groups. The president of this organization was Miss Roxy McCain, a Pennsylvanian, who is specializing in Music. The secretary of the group was Miss Melva Horbury, another member of the Music Department. The treasurer of the group was Mr. Stuart Weston, the big boy from the smoky city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This fair group with its polish, dignity and poise added luster to our campus, a fact which no one can deny. ( «kn, . SEVENTY-FIVE SEVENTY-SIX fS -e Z. H. T.

We added some and also lost a few, until there are just twelve with old and new. We meet each week and tarry just an hour and try to amplify each other ' s power. Sometimes we criticize, sometimes commend, and every mind is strengthened in the end. Each member takes his turn by alphabet, and so he knows just when he has to get his product ready, and he scratches round until a proper subject can be found, and then he begs Dame Muse to help him write. She, though she knows it soon will be his night, will often tease him for an hovu or so, then flood his mind with beauteous thoughts, and lo! he comes to club with something that is rare; and as he reads it to us, we sit there and listen, and we just enjoy it so, we often wish the hour would never go. We started an associate club also, of students who delight to make ink flow. The Echo prints their efforts many a time. They meet just once a term with us. And so you see, taking it all around, a club more helpful scarcely can be found. P « u EIGHTY-ONE 3= - ' ? J Thalonian hiterary Society  -T Hei colors: orance and black FALL TERM PRESIDENT ROBERT B. CLARK SECRETARY MELVINA GLEASON WINTER TERM ESTHER BLANK HELEN ERICK SPRING TERM ROBERT GORELL RUBY SHAW THE Thalonian Literary Society is the older of our two literary organizations, being formed November 22, 1850. The society was named in honor of Thales, the eminent Greek philosopher whose motto, Know Thyself, has been adopted by the organization. The aim of the society, as taken from an old manuscript is to inspire development of the members in accordance with the highest standards of literary excellence. There are many things of interest which are discovered when one peruses past records. In some of the minutes of 1903 we find that the colors were pink and yellow. They have since been changed to orange and black. Our list of officers is not as numerous as in previous years. Some policies of the society have been altered such as: roll regular payment of the janitor; business meetings after the fining of members absent from business meetings without excuse. In all records we see progress, and the Thalonian Literary Society has always advo- cated those things which are for the betterment of her members along lines mental, physical and spiritual. This past year brought us much success. We practically doubled our membership. Those who have joined our ranks have proved themselves worthy of the name of Thalo. May the Thalonian Literary Society serve the future as amply as she has served the past. at each session; and the ca programs EIGHTY-TWO colors: blue and white PRESIDENT SECRETARY FALL TERM EARL ALLEN RUBY BRELAND ViTNTER TERM EVELYN DURVEA JOSEPH LEVERENZE SPRING TERM RUBY BRELAND HOWARD RUNION THE year 192 8 ushered in a new epoch in the history of the Philalethean Literary Society. Fifty years ago, a group of earnest young men and women, desiring to better prepare and develop themselves for service, banded together into the Philalethean Literary Society under the motto, Animi Imperio Corporis Servilio Utimur. In the years immediately following its organization, the society encountered a hard struggle for existence. In 1881 the members became so discouraged that serious thought of disbanding was entertained. However, the obstacles in the way of further progress were finally overcome. As the years passed, school life underwent many changes and the Philos found, in the fall of 1922, that due to these changes, the society was not meeting the needs of the students as it once had. The constitution was revised and the Philos stepped forward with their new motto, Forti et Fideli Nihil Difficile. In the spring of 1927 it was found necessary to still further revise the constitution. The Society seeks to develop each member into a well rounded personality, so that he may go out from Taylor better able to uphold the standards of Truth in the world. In striving to fulfill this condition we should seek to make the history of the future more glorious than the history of the past. Philos are Lovers of Truth. EIGHTY-THREE ,NE of the highest honors bestowed upon the students of any university is the privilege of serving on some station of the Annual Staff. Hours of daylight as well as hours of night are constantly burned by the tireless efforts of the Staff to produce a book superior to any published previously. This, of course, was the task of the 1928 Gem Staff. Miss Elsie Fuller, the stenographer of the Staff, worked her fingers very nimbly over the various epistles and documents which went forth for the Staff. Mr. Lionel Clench, with his artistic taste and elaborating cardboard for posters, proved his worth to the Staff. Mr. Paul Mosser, one of our astute sophomores, did the usual duties of Assistant Advertising Manager. Our Advertising Manager, Mr. James Uhlinger, having acquired a conversa- tional approach to mankind, induced many new firms to place an ad in our book. Mr. Lee Wilson, the Subscription Manager of the Staff, not only handled the subscriptions well, but carried out with the same ability the new calendar proposition which the Gem Staff introduced. The Photographic Editor, Mr. Harrison Wilcox, constantly kept the picture business on the jump. Our Humorous Editor, Mr. McAllister, gleaned from the conversations in the Book Store many of the jokes found herein, and edited very carefully for us his diary. Miss Elsa Buchanan, the Alumni Editor, very ably carried out a retrospective of our past student history. Mr. Stuart Weston, our Athletic Editor, performed his gymnastics very capably in this Department. The Organization Editor, Miss Esther Blank, ran many relays but at last accu- mulated all the material we find herein. Miss Frances Thomas, our Literary Editor, very carefully watched all gram- matical errors, spelling, and other defects which might have occurred in the book. Our Second Assistant Editor, Miss Dorothy Atkinson, had many duties imposed upon her which should not have been hers; nevertheless, she worked fearlessly and was always at her best. The First Assistant Editor, Miss Ruth Flood, proved a worthy helper to the Editor in his work. The artistic design and color scheme of our book is due to the tireless efforts of our Art Editor, Miss Florence Jett. This young lady worked with unceasing fervor to make this Gem the work of art that it is. Too much praise cannot be given to her for this work. Mr. Lawrence Boyll, ' 29, the man with the dough, kept a very accurate record of the assets and liabilities for the Staff. Mr. Robert Clark, of the class of ' 29, our Editor-in-Chief, managed each department with the utmost care and ability. All hours of the night a light could be seen oozing from his office. ?« ' ' u .w EIGHTY-FOUR EIGHTY-FIVE BUILDING upon the able foundation laid by Editor Shilling and his prede- cessors, the Echo has steadily advanced to the completion of another successful year. Interesting features of the previous years, such as the Inquiring Reporter and Open Forum, were repeated with success. Something new appeared in the Courtesy Corner conducted by Beth Severn. The most outstanding feature of the Echo this year was its interesting and varied literary department. This was developed by Anna Stewart in her Literary Gleanings, using many poems and stories written by our home celebrities. Sports were efficiently represented by Morrts Baldwin and his assistants. One of the chief aims of the Echo was to give the sports of Taylor their rightful place among recognized activities of the school. Alumni news is hard to get at all times but Ora Taylor as Alumni editor contributed a snappy and varied column throughout the year. Many interesting letters from former students found their way into print. The most widely read and eagerly sought contributor to a college paper is its Joke Editor. This year Raymond Rice contributed a column of jokes each week which gave the paper its spice and punch. Too mvich cannot be said in commendation for the work of the news editor, Miss Ruby Breland, and her corps of reporters. Upon them developed the responsibility of furnishing the news, snappy and up-to-date, for each issue. Faithfulness was their middle name and efficiency their attainment. Lillian Scott was special reporter for the School of Music. The members of the Business Staff are the unsung heroes of a college paper. Behind the scenes it was the tactful and wise management of Howard Runion, who piloted the Echo through a successful financial year. He, with the help of his assistant, Virgil Brown, with Wilson Paul as subscription manager, and Everett Shilliday and Tracy ' Martindale in charge of the circulation department, a strong business staff obtained. Special recognition is due Harrison Taylor for his work as advertising manager. One of the outstanding features of the paper was the class contest in which each class published one issue of the paper. The Faculty voted the Freshman issue to be the winner. The Editor-in-Chief, Elton B. Stetson, and his assistant, Albert Krause, devoted their time and energy unstintingly to develop a well orbed paper devoted to the best interests of the school and the Kingdom. Through editorials. Open Forum discussions, the Editor ' s column and Bozo says they labored to build a strong, sane, constructive organ of student opinion. Hats off to the Echo Staff of ' 27 and ' 28. fc r '  U,, EIGHTY-SIX EIGHTY-SEVEN EIGHTY-EIGHT THE CLASS TE are all acquainted with the person who admits that he knows nothing W about art, but who ' knows exactly what he likes. ' This admission may be justifiable in the person of scant educational advantages, but the person to whom modern educational opportunities are available should not find it necessary to take such an attitude. Especially would such an attitude be out of place at Taylor where there is a splendid opportunity to study art and its appreciation. Taylor offers a varied course in its Art Department: water colors, oils, interior decorating, design, and has introduced this year a new course called Arts and Crafts which combines basketry with clay and leather and includes a very interesting and novel work in glass painting. Besides these, we have the opportunity to study Art History and Art Appreciation. There were twenty-si.K students enrolled in the Department. There seemed to be an increase in interest and joy shown in the work. The moving of the Domestic Science Department from Swallow-Robin to their new quarters in the Wisconsin building last summer gave room for the enlarging of our Art Studio which was beautifully redecorated. An Art exhibit is given at least once a ) ' ear, and the head of the Department presented an unusually good one this 3 ' ear during Commencement Season. It has been only in recent years that we have realized fully the desirability of Art in American education and we are glad it finds a place at Taylor. e ' - ' V THE DISPLAY THE reproduction of the interior of our Art Department which you see proves to you the competent training which the students receive from their able instruc- tor, Mrs. Mary Shilling. Mrs. Shilling has served the student body of Taylor University for a number of years. Her husband, a one time acting president of the school, left to her the possibilities of training young men and women to produce, not only imita- tions of God ' s handiwork, but also consistent Christian characters. In the department this year there have been produced many valuable contributions to the art world. The Art editor of this Gem has received considerable training through Mrs. Shilling. The Assistant Art Editor is also a product of Mrs. Shilling ' s efiicient teaching. Mr. Howard Runion has produced numerous paintings for which he has commanded quite a substantial price. Many students of the department could be men- tioned not only of this year ' s class but of classes in the past who are indebted to our Art Department for their aesthetic training. The Art Department deals in other fields besides that of painting. Basketry, raffia work and clay decorating are taught. The new glass painting was welcomed with enthusiasm by the Art Crafts class. Since the department has enlarged its quarters and since the students are realizing more and more the value of this training for the appreciation of life, it is expected that in the future quite a large department will be established. « U NINETV-ONE TO THE POINT SPEECH and dramatic art have represented an organized activity at Taylor for a number of years. In the early years the head of the department was W. C. Dennis. Miss Cobb, who came in 1909, headed the department for about ten years. Then two years later Professor Pogue took up his duties with the school, and rapid growth in the department was the result. There are now two assistant instructors and about seventy students. The classes are so arranged that each student has an opportunity to recite before his class at every recitation. Practice recitals are held once a week, thus giving to the student, an opportunity to appear before a larger group about once a term. The department has an organization consisting of a president, secretary, and treasurer. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the year was the remodeling and enlarg- ing of the new recital room which was built with funds secured from lyceum numbers sponsored by the students and amounts given by Professor Pogue and friends of the department. This room is on the top floor of the Main Building and has a seating capacity of about two hundred and fifty, with a roomy platform equipped with stage lights, curtain, and other accessories essential for the highest type of work. It utilizes a large space that previously was of little value. Students realize that expression is essential to their training, and each year the number graduating from this department has made a steady increase. XINETY-TWO Mmsic Departmnent FROM I OUR TO FORTY TAYLOR UNIVERSITY has long realized the cultural value of music in her educational program, and the year 1927-2 8 has shown a continued increase of interest in this, one of the strongest departments of the College. The weekly Practice Recitals, in which members of the department participate, were designed to prepare the students for appearance in the public recitals which are held each term. The majority of numbers were for piano, voice and violin, and the excellent quality of work done in these lines was shown by the selections presented. In addition, there were vocal quartettes, smaller ensemble groups of stringed instruments, and various other musical combinations. These recitals were well attended, and constituted a valuable part of musical education. Other public performances of organizations in the School of Music were of high grade. The University Choral Society, under the direction of Prof. Wells embraced about fifty members chosen from the School of Music and the College, and gave the annual Christmas, Easter and Commencement oratorio or cantata. The Orchestra, under the leadership of Prof. Fenstermacher, played on various public programs. The Public School Music Course is accredited by the State of Indiana, and this course is correlated with courses in the College. The fact that fully one half of the entire student body enrolls in some form of musical endeavor shows the interest of students in this particular department of the University. MELODY MAKERS THE Taylor University Orchestra has just closed its fourth season under the direction of Mr. Fenstermacher. The past year has been one of great development. Each year some members are lost through graduation, but this handicap was admirably overcome and the Orchestra grew to be an organization of forty-five members, with increased technical ability and better tone quality. Many comments were made by those who heard the orchestra in regard to the increased volume and tone quality of the string section. Use was made of the orchestra at a number of public programs and chapel programs. A notable appearance was on the evening program of Legal Hundred Day in the Fall term. During the winter term a selected group from the orchestra rehearsed with the University Chorus and played the accompaniment to the Cantata, The Seven Last Words by Dubois, which the chorus gave on the afternoon of Good Friday. During the Annual Conference of the North Indiana Conference held in Fort Wayne, Indiana, just after the opening of the spring term, the Alumni of Taylor, together with friends of the school, held their Annual Banquet. Here the entire University Orchestra was featured. One of the most notable features of this organization was the interest that each member had in his work, and the loyal support that all the members gave the leader. NINETY-FOUR NIGHTINGALES W[TH its sixty voices, the ' lif e of Taylor University Choral Society, is an important factor in the educational ity. For a number of years this organization has been pre- senting cantatas appropriate to the Christmas, the Easter and the Commence- ment seasons. These renditions are enjoyed not only by the students but by the community at large. In fact people come for many miles to hear our chorus sing. This ye.ir just before the Christmas holidays the society, under the capable leadership of Professor Wells, presented The Coming of the King by Dudley Buck. The pre-Easter production was The Seven Last Words by Dubois. This number is an impressive description of the Garden scene in the life of Our Lord. The University Orchestra conducted by Professor Fenstermacher accentuated the descriptive parts by feature numbers. The final number of this body was rendered before the commencement visitors. Everyone who had the privilege of listening to the work was much pleased. A better number than Gounod ' s Holy City could not have been chosen for such an occasion. It seemed as if at this performance the members were at their best. Much credit is due to Miss Bothwell who very ably accompanied the rendition?, and helped make the year ' s work the success that it proved to be. k vissi.j .. NINETY-FrVE r i i (i?

In 1901 the nucleus of this organization was formed, and since then there has been a constant stream of life coming into the band, sharing its blessings and going out to perpetuate the principles of Jesus in the benighted areas of the world. This year the Student Volunteer Group, while it seemingly has diminished in numbers, gained in enthusiasm and ideals. The Presidents of the organization, with their varied programs throughout the year, have constantly kept the missionary fire burning. A member of the organization was Mr. Robert B. Clark, State President of the Indiana Student Volunteer Union. The Group very ably backed the eiforts of Mr. Clark in the State work, and as a culminating feature sent the largest delegation to the State Convention held at Franklin College, Franklin, Indiana.

Through the faithfulness of the group from year to year God has shown Himself strong in their behalf and has done great things for His honor and glory. He is still showing Himself mighty in our midst. Praise His name! God created us for His glory and He, Himself, is with us to be our Captain.

Today, however, the place of women ' s ministry in the work of the Kingdom is finding recosnition. The organization was established two years ago during the first year of Miss Madeline Southard ' s association with the school. Miss Southard was then president of the International Association of Women Preachers. With her characteristic vitality she gathered about her a small group of young women who had consecrated their lives to the ministry or to some other form of active Christian service. The name Bearers of Good Tidings was chosen, symbolized by the Greek letters, Gamma Epsilon. Miss Ruth Lortz, the first president of the association, is now active in the ministry in Oregon. Associated with her is Miss Hattie Seever, another of the charter members. For two years the organization has been privileged to send representatives to the annual convention of the International Association of Women Preachers. If the Women ' s Ministerial Association maintains its present rate of progress, women ' s ministry bids fair to make itself felt not only in Taylor University but throughout the world.

Early in the life of this organization, the policy of its work was made two-fold: (1) to secure competent speakers, either from the faculty of the school or non-resident men, to present to the prospective ministers the practical problems of a pastor ' s life; (2) to give the members opportunity to develop themselves by practice preaching under constructive criticism. This past year has been one of peculiar and important influence on the members of the Association. The speakers who have been introduced were all men of exceptional worth, ability and experience. Among these were Dr. Paul, Dean Howard, Dr. Owen, Professor Wells, Rev. Woodford Taylor, Rev. Asay, Rev. P. B. Smith and Rev. Stevenson. It has been the purpose of the Men ' s Ministerial to anticipate some of the problems of a pastor ' s life, and by securing competent speakers to aid in solving these situations. Not the least has been the inspiration to carry on for the Master. ,Pju4 i.

How our hearts rejoiced in the larger anticipation of these meetings! How thrilled we have been at the definite manifestations from God! How tears have flowed for joy to see great numbers of students yield to Christ. Who can forget the ringing testimonies, the fervent prayers, the hallowed singing, the victorious shouts and the earnest exhorta- tions that echoed during its weekly meetings. Memories of them bring recollections that will serve to inspire students in their future work for the Kingdom. Truly God has placed His approval upon the League, for it has influenced men and women who today are staunch leaders and workers in the great field of Christian enterprise, both at home and abroad — men and women who carry with them that fire of enthusiasm and that loyalty to Christian truths which are vitally essential to the ife of today. What future there is in store for this organization cannot be said, but the Holiness League will continue to be a force for the spiritual deepening of the student life of Taylor — a task that symbolizes the highest ideals of the school. e ' ' - V . ONE HUNDXLD TWO Qospel Team Association PRESIDENT GEORGE EDIE Sl CRETARY ONA CORRESPONDING SECRETARY MILDRED BARNES A N interesting feature of the student life of Taylor is the fact that it sends young people out to care for the souls of the world. Students especially interested in laboring in the harvest field in surrounding churches are organized into what is known as the Gospel Team Association. Officers are elected from the student body, and a faculty advisor is appointed. Preachers, evangelistic singers, and personal workers go out practically every week- end into churches to hold revival services and be of assistance to the pastors. During Christmas and Spring vacations teams go to Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and sometimes to New York, as well as to churches in all parts of Indiana. It is a weekly occurrence to hear Dr. Paul in Monday morning chapel service call for Gospel Team reports. It is interesting and especially uplifting to hear the students report of the work in various churches and to hear how the Lord called souls to repent- ance and believers to Full Salvation. Much credit for the success this year was due to the president, Mr. Edie, for his planning and placing of teams, under God ' s leadership. Every student who desired to do this work was able to go at least once for the Master and His cause. Not only is the Gospel Team Association a means of winning souls to Jesus Christ, but it is a means of giving the students valuable experience and blessing while in school in preparation for greater service in later life. PRESIDENT FLORENCE JETT SECRETARY HELEN TROUT I N October the worst kids in town banded together into an organization which they called the P. K ' s. Composed of about thirty-five members, it has become one of the peppiest organizations in school. The Preachers Kids came to the front in a special dinner which was served in the T. U. Dining Hall. Three tables, decorated in pink and green, shone forth from the dimly lighted west end, and to the strains of Mendelssohn ' s wedding march, the little group, representing in costume a wedding procession, marched slowly down the center aisle. A wedding ceremony in pantomine was enacted, accompanied by the usual flowers, and the throwing of rice and old shoes. After dinner the P. K. song, composed by two of the members, was sung. In closing, the P. K. yell resounded through the dining hall. The Preacher ' s Kids, believing that they really amount to something after all, believe their organization to be the best in T. U. In the outsid e world where there are only five or six minister ' s kids in each small town to at least a hundred or two others, they do not have a chance to thrive and grow properly, but in our school, where there are so many of us, we can expand and grow, and our talents become more pronounced. It is our purpose to put the Preacher ' s Kids on a higher level. Our slogan is: Perpetually Kicked. ::x_j 4? ' ' U , - ONE HUNDRED FOUR ••or Committee on Forensics PROi . w. A. sauc:lr PROF, B. R. POGUE PROr. J. 1. UWliN THE only inter-collegiate event in which Taylor University participates is debating. The debaters are very carefully coached for their numerous combats by the Committee on Forensics. The Debating Coach, Dean W. A. Saucier, from the beginning of the school year until the close of the debating season, meets weekly with his several teams and weighs with them all the accumulated argument and evidence which they have gleaned from their intuitive minds and constant research. Just before the debates he very carefully selects his speakers because of the strength of their arguments and then expects them to win. Professor Barton Rees Pogue, the second Hoosier Poet, offers coaching in the delivery and in the stage appearance of the debaters. Professor Pogue watches the move- ment and the delivery of each debater, and offers valuable criticism, which in the end produces polished speakers. Dr. John Owen listens in on the numerous frays staged between the local teams and very carefully points out the inconsistencies and the illogical conclusions of the speakers. The proof of this Committee ' s work is found in the results produced. . ' k ;,v ONE HUNDRED SEVEN Forensics FORENSIC activities on the campus of Taylor University have developed as the school has grown. Previously the literary societies in their regular programs every Friday night staged extemporaneous debates. Later the societies developed the idea of having one or two evenings devoted entirely to argumentative combat. Following this at the annual Commencement, contests and debates between the two societies were staged as a regular event. Soon the officers of the literary societies discovered that literary development and debating skill could be divided into two separate fields. As this ray of light broke in upon the leading members of the societies they conceived of a plan which was the nucleus of our present debating clubs. Taylor University is known as a school which does not participate in very many intercollegiate activities, but after her faculty and administration had discovered the value of public speech and debate to the students they at once entered into the field of intercollegiate debate. From the very first it seems that Taylor has had remarkable success in this field of adventure. Many have wondered how this comes about, but if they would attend one of the regular Saturday evening club debates or would listen to an interclub contest, they would find the reason for Taylor ' s achievements in this line. It is through the debating clubs that Taylor develops her skilled debaters. Dr. Walter C. Glasier, one time dean of our institution, gained for Taylor many laurels. He tirelessly labored with his teams, and, having a clear logical mind himself, impressed upon the debaters the necessity of thinking accurately and quickly when in action. Dean Saucier with his forensic knowledge has continued to build upon the founda- tion laid by Dr. Glasier. He, too, furthers the principles established by Dr. Glasier, and the success which his teams have attained in forensic combat is due to his constant instruction. As Taylor has reaped in the past, so it is believed that in the future she will con- tinue to uphold the position which she has attained. ONE HUNDRED ElGHl Womaen AMfmative Team BLl H SEVERN HELEN HES5ENAUER FRANCES BOGUE First Speaker FOR the first time in our forensic history, Miss Beth Severn, a prominent member of the Sophomore class, appeared on our platform as a debater — Miss Severn was very careful to enunciate her words properly and to weigh her argument with such deliberation that she not only disturbed the cquilibrim of the opposition but convinced both the audi ence and the judge of her ability as a debater. Second Speaker The second speaker of this illustrious affirmative team was Miss Helen Hessenauer. Miss Hessenauer is a member of the class of 29. This was her first year in intercollegiate debatmg also, but with her strategy she proved to be equal to the task for which she was selected. Third Speaker Miss Frances Bogue was the third speaker of the affirmative team and is a veteran in forensic activities. Miss Bogue has debated for Taylor for two consecutive years. She is a member of our graduating class. This young woman has a fine platform appear- ance and the tactics learned in her expression work make her superb in delivery and poise.

Miss Breland has had two years of intercollegiate debating experience. With her southern accent and her debating skill she makes an able and efficient debater. As she is a member of the Senior class this may prove her last year in forensic combat. Second Speaker Miss Elsie Fuller, the second speaker of this team, made her debut as a debater this year. Miss Fuller has found that debating is attractive and educational. In constructive argument she presented a very consistent case. She was forceful in her manner and deci- sive in her argument. Third Speaker Miss Bertha Pollitt, ' 29, with her charming personality and her forensic experience, as third speaker of the negative team, presented the final issues of the case. Both in constructive argument and in rebuttal Miss Pollitt put the opposition to a most severe test. In summing up the case for the Taylor team. Miss Pollitt showed decided ability. This was Miss PoUitt ' s third year of active participation in forensic combat. t.-s. ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN Men s A ffirwative Team CHARLES B.

Very carefully he outlined the affirmative case, then at once proceeded to convmce the avidience that the first assumption was valid and substantiated the fact. In rebuttal Mr. Bo ll covered his work well. Second Si ' eaker The second speaker, Mr. Wilson Paul, tactfully continued the constructive argu- ment of the case. This was Mr. Paul ' s first experience in intercollegiate debating, but with his training in the department of expression he made a definite contribution to the team. Third Speaker The outstanding addition to Taylor ' s debating squad was Mr. Charles B. Hahn. Mr. Hahn, with his pleasing and melodious voice, charmed his audiences, and with skill he demonstrated real debating ability. Never alarmed and yet constantly pressing his case, he waxed eloquent. In rebuttal he carefully weighed the argument of the oppo- sition, and after sorting out the main issues succeeded in destroying their case. Alternate Mr. Kenneth Fox, first alternate, appeared but once in debate but at that time he proved his ability, and he is very promising material for the coming year. Alternate Mr. Everett Shilliday, alternate, transferred his ability to the negative team and there also showed his efficiency in one debate. e ' ONE HUNDRED T ' VVELVE DEANE IRISH EARL ALLE.M ROCERT B.

In rebuttal Mr. Clark riddled the opposition point for point with his rapid delivery. In presenting the case he showed marked improvement over his last year ' s work. It is expected that Mr. Clark will prove a valuable asset in forensic activities in 1928. Second Speaker The second speaker for the negative, Mr. Deane Irish, continued his forensic activities with his usual firmness and consistency. In constructive argument Mr. Irish was at his best, building a very strong case freighted with much evidence. Taylor will lose a valuable man as Mr. Irish is graduated this year. Third Speaker Mr. Earl Allen, the walking encyclopedia of our campus, continued to hold up this worthy name in his debating activities. Mr. Allen concluded the argument for the negative. In rebuttal he carefully pointed out the inconsistencies of the opposi- tion and skilfully showed how he and his colleagues had won the debate. Mr. Allen also is graduated this June. Alternates Mr. Harrison Taylor and Mr. Marvin Stuart, both chosen alternates, failed to appear in activity. However, these men may be heard from in the future and it may be expected that what has been said of the regular debaters this year may be said of them in years to come. atini MEN ' S DEBATES Time Place February 10 Tcrrc Haute February 10 Taylor February 24 N.

Mr. Harrod proved worthy of the trust bestowed upon him. Third Speaker Paul Breland was so bashful that he did not appear to have his picture snapped with his colleagues. Mr. Boyll, another member of the Club, took his place to balance the picture. Mr. Breland did not appear so bashful on the floor, but with his debating skill he very nicely made up for his non-appearance in this cut. ■ flMP HTTMnRFn ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN Eulomnian Team s C.

From her ranks have gone women who have become fiery evangelists, women who have become national leaders, and many women who have made the world better by their contribution to humanity. Success can not be measured altogether by outward achievements; nor can the value of a debating club be determined by immediate results. Yet in the years to come, as in the years passed, prominent women will look back and realize how much of their success is due to the training they received in a debating club in Taylor University. The Soangetaha Debating Club prepares one for service by the knowledge she imparts, by the training she gives, and by the broadening influence she exerts upon young life. A year full of activity, of progress, and of success, has just passed. The ranks of the club were filled until her membership reached over a half a hundred. Among its new features are the beautiful cabinet, which contains the club banners and other property, and the honorary certificates which are given to those graduates who have been members of the club for four years. With the valuable assistance of their advisor, Dean Howard, they are looking forward to greater achievements in the future. -J ' — V ' ' % ' ' ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO COLORS: ORANGE AND WHITE PRESIDENT - SECRETARY .

The Mnankas now stand abreast of their sister club, the Soangetaha in member- ship, and organization. Starting with a charter membership of twenty-four, the club now has fifty active members besides honorary and associate members. Within a few weeks after the Mnankas had organized the Soangetaha club chal- lenged them to an Interclub debate. In this encounter the Mnankas showed their ability to debate by winning the championship banner. Since that time the championship banner changed hands from time to time fostering a spirit of friendly rivalry and teaching the rudiments of debating. Out of the interclub debates the Mnankas have held this banner five times. This interclub debating has not only meant much to the participants, but has paved the way for many to engage in intercollegiate debating for the college. This year we were proud to have four members representing us in inter- collegiate activity.

As in former years, the annual Eureka Jamboree proved to the majority of the new men that the oldest debating club on Taylor University ' s Campus possessed a genuine interest in the future of her prospective members. Vision precedes the vehicle of progress. With this truth in mind the Eurekans, seeing the demands of life beyond college days, devote their organization to the training of members in the arts of debating decorum and parliamentary practice; believing that the possession of these arts is necessary for wide service in a world which needs well equipped men. Athletic triumphs tell of the development of the body as well as the mind. Basket- ball and baseball are the sports in which the Eulogonians and Eurekans yearly compete. Entrance into the realm of music was attended with marked success by the Eurekan Glee Club and Orchestra in 1927. During the years of growth and development many of our members have gained places in the ranks of our intercollegiate debating teams.

In every business, in every profession, and in every department of govern- ment the skilled debater becomes the leader of men. Realizing that the college should be a place in which young people are trained for places of leadership, a group of young men, a number of years ago, organized the Eulogonian Debating Club. Down through the years of the club ' s history, she has dili- gently trained her members in the art of debate, in extemporaneous speech and in par- liamentary procedure. Today, Eulogonian-trained debaters are scattered to the four extremes of the universe. Each member has shown himself worthy of the name Eulogonian by his zeal and enthusiasm in participating in the club ' s affairs. The hotly contested debates from time to time have been extremely interesting as well as instructive and have served as a means of bringing latent talent to the front. Marked improvement can be observed in each member after a few months ' stay in the club. Once he has imbibed the true Eulogonian spirit he is always a Eulogonian.

Through sharing in a general reorganization of school activities the Association has come into more vital contact with the entire student bodv. Student control with faculty supervision has been instrumental in bringing about a more equally divided program which does not interfere with any other activities, and which supplies the essential development in the physique of the largest number possible of the students. When the Club series in basketball for the men was increased and the Society series was decreased, there was greater interest among all concerned in both events. Tennis con- tinued to be one of the major sports. Although rain hindered the Society tournament, the Racketeers came back with a vengeance in the Fall and made use of the fine tennis weather. In all, sports of every kind have featured. Teams have displayed good coaching; individual stars have not sacrificed team work; and there have been some real exhibitions of skill and training. Taylor students are ready to offer a program of athletics that will be of great value as well as interest to the students.

Donald Dickson Guard Dick was high point man for the Eulogs. His sharpshooting had the Eureka rooters gasping. Alex Bourquard Forward Alex looked very small along side of some of the big boys. However his ability to dodge and shift more than made up for his lack of heftiness. Gilbert Spaude ERNEST JOHNSON Forward Ernie did some very good playing for his team. He was quite a ball hawk and played a consistent game. Spaude was a crack floor man. He was excep- tionally good on recovering stray shots and rebounds. Paul Mosser Paul was a thorn in the flesh to the Eurekas. His sterling guarding was classy enough to end the worries of any college coach.

ERNEST JOHNSON Guard Phil Loveless Center Ernie used his brawn to good effect. Always n the thick of the fight, he did his best to pre- ent Thalo baskets. John Paul Owen Red knew how to play his position with the best of them. He was the keystone of the Philo attack and he more than did his part.

With the advent of the new athletic field, baseball at Taylor ought to take its rightful place along side of basketball and the Taylor T ' s. Baseball is our national game. Let us have more of it.

The game was hotly contested until the seventh inning when the Eurekans launched an avalanche of base-hits, which, combined with some poor support by the Eulogonian infield, gave the Red and White enough runs to win the game by a large margin. The second game was even harder fought than the first. It was not decided until the last inning when the Eurekans broke the tie by scoring two runs, winning the game and the series.

Wilson 1 Total -17 Total DIRECTLY behind our new beautiful gii ' ls ' dormitory to the west, we find under construction one of the most outstanding features of Taylor University, the new Athletic Field. This is the gift of the class of ' 27 with the aid of Mr. Garr, our landscape artist of Cambria City, Indiana. Each graduating class of the institution, in gratitude for knowledge acquired and fellowships established, endeavor to repay their Alma Mater in some small way for these attainments. Different worthy projects are proposed and from them one is selected as the appropriate gift. Track and field sports at Taylor have suffered for many years. Even without proper equipment for outdoor sports the students have made wonderful exhibitions of their athletic skill. In the light of this fact, and of the fact that the citizens of Fort Wayne were to give Taylor a new Gymnasium, an adequate athletic field was essential. The class of ' 27 sensed this need and thus we have the project under construction. Being a class proposition, each member shared equally in the financing of the project. Mr. Garr carefully drew the plans and outlined the various attractions that the field was to contain. The entrance to the field which is directlv west of the proposed Gymnasium is guarded by two massive stone pillars. Just inside the entrance is a large shrubbery plot, in the center of which is a huge boulder bearing the class inscription. This plot divides the road on either side and makes an artistic and unique entrance. Along the east edge and north of the entrance, are to be found nine tennis courts. Dircctl) ' west of these are to be found the baseball diamond, surrounded by a fifteen- foot, quarter-mile cinder track. The south end of the field contains provision for a large Volley ball court on the east and with a field for Soccer located in the southwest corner. From this review one mav easilv see the value of such a gift, both to the institution and to the coming generations of students. At the present time work on the field is progressing nicely. It is hoped that the formal opening may be held in the fall of 192S. Much praise is due this progressive class for their permanent contribution to a bigger and better Taylor, and their thought- ful unselfish sacrifice for the betterment of future student bodies. Upon the completion of the field and the new Gym, Taylor will be able to offer to any student a place in which he will not only be able to gain religious training and scientific knowledge, but physical fitness as well. In this day of achievement such a well rounded college career will fit future citizens for the best that is in life. Sound Bible training, right moral and ethical living, strenuous mental gymnastics, and plenty of physical exercise will fit any young man or young woman to meet life with a zest and to live it. Not only will the class of ' 27 always share in the athletic activities of the school, but many students will be able to develop to the full the strong ps -chic need in this mechanical age. Much praise is due this honorable class. ONE HUNDRED FORTV-TWO A BRIEF review of tennis activities could be made by stating that the biggest match of the year was Tennis versus Rain. And yet, there was plenty of action in the tournament to offset the moisture. The Philos won the spring tournament between showers. It was not decided, however, until the last match had been played. For the Thalos, the girls won two matches: Spreen had an easy time in the singles, and doubled with Jensen, she was able to do her share of the work in winning a hard fought match from York and Mucheler. Jack Shilling featured as the star of the tournament. He played consistently from beginning to end. Only once was he hard pressed. That was in what proved to be the deciding match, when he finally rallied to take over Spreen and Mosser after the latter combination had pounded he and his partner in the first set. Wing turned in a flashy game at the net and helped Jack win the men ' s doubles. In the final match, Ockenga was lost among the cuts, drives, and uncanny placements that Shilling offered him. The second annual all-campus tennis tournament, played on the Taylor courts, resulted in a victory for John Paul Owen in the singles, and for John and Wendell Owen in the doubles. Incidentally the Owen brothers were winners of the doubles championship in the first all-campus tournament held in 1926. To win the doubles championship the Owen boys won a decisive victory over R. Curry and Dr. Owen. From the very first, much interest and rivalry was evident among the participants. The freshman class was well represented, both in players and in spectators. In fact, the new students entered into the contest with more enthusiasm than any of the other classes. All the matches were bitterly contested and provided numerous thrills for the spectators. The stamina, courage, and never-say-die spirit of the players added greatly to the tournament. The contestants were so equally matched that it was hard at any time preceding the finals to pick the winners. Throughout the tournament the outstand- ing thing was the fine sportsmanship shown by both the players and rooters. May it always be so at Taylor.

Philos and Thalos alike were confident of victory. Competing men of both teams were nervously limbering up as the crowd of rooters gathered to witness this battle to decide physical prowess. Although the field was not in very good condition, the competitors showed excel- lent ability. As far as the weather was concerned the day was ideal for a track meet and the rather strong wind caused very little diificulty. Many of the contests were hard fought; however, the Philos retaliated somewhat for the year before and copped the victory by a score of 83-30. The Blue and White took ten first and six second places. The Orange and Black took one first and five second places. In the standing high jump and pole neither team was superior and both had to be satisfied with ties for first places. Wayne York of the Philos was high point man of the meet, scoring sixteen points as a result of winning three firsts and a third. Snell was second with fourteen points as the result of winning two firsts and a tie for a first. The running of Brown, a Philo freshman, in the distance races was one of the features of the day. Albert Eicher broke the school record of eighteen feet nine inches for the running broad jump by making a leap of twenty-one feet seven inches. The Thalos were handicapped somewhat due to the fact that, for some reasons, several of their best men were unable to enter. The cooperation and good spirit manifested throughout the entire contest was wholesome and gratifying, commending both the societies and the competing teams. On the new athletic field, given by the class of 27, we are anticipating some sensational exhibits in track events. There has been a tendency to overlook the importance of track work in Taylor ' s program. To stimulate interest in this type of athletics, the Philos initiated the practice of awarding track letters as a token to those who qualify with the society ' s stipula- tions. This seemed to have the desired effect in increasing the interest in track and we hope that the Thalos will follow soon wit h a similar measure to reward the efforts put forth by her representatives in this sport. t: (fc,« V ' ' ONE HUNDRED FORTY-SIX T CAUGHT IN THE ACT 100 Yard Dash — 1st., W.

MILLER TREASURER J. ELOYD SEELIG EACH year finds large numbers of alumni flocking back to the Taylor campus to look once more upon the familiar scenes, to renew old friendships, and to view with delight not wholly unmixed with some element of sorrow the various changes which have taken place since they, too, were students here. This year we have gladly welcomed back many of these alumni among us for a short while and rejoice that their love for their Alma Mater is so strong that it draws them back once more. We always think of them as still belonging to our Taylor family. All of our Taylor brothers and sisters can not visit us often — some not at all — for a large number of them are scattered around the world. But the family tie is strong nevertheless. We are all proud of the accomplishments of many of our alumni. Each year some go abroad as missionaries. Many teachers and ministers of the gospel also go out from our halls to do their part in this world. Christian doctors, business men, and those of various professions may add their names to the list. Those of whom Taylor can well be proud are too numerous for individual mention. They all unite in proudly raising her banner throughout the earth. For it is these alumni who most reflect the spirit of Taylor and by their lives and deeds bring renown to their Alma Mater. We may truly be proud of these who have so admirably mirrored the Taylor spirit in the world. TAYLOR UNIVERSITY is on the highway of the world. One of the chief advantages is the opportunity afforded its students to receive messages from the leading men and women in the service of the Kingdom of Christ. The tranquil atmosphere of the beautiful rural campus seems to make an eminent visitor more approachable. Consequently when these leaders are met on the campus of Taylor, the student in after life feels that he knows them better. The convocation on the campus of Taylor beginning before Commencement this year was under the leadership of Doctor H. C. Morrison and Doctor William H. Huff. Doctor Morrison is editor of The Pentecostal Herald and former president of Asbury College. Doctor Huff is not only known as an evangelist of national reputation but his extensive ministries in South America have added to him the distinction of an evangelist to the western hemisphere. The Baccalaureate Preacher The baccalaureate preacher of this year was Bishop William F. Oldham. Bishop Oldham is a spiritual son of William Taylor, the namesake of this institution, and is regarded as one of the greatest living missionary statesmen. He is a great friend of this institution. After his extensive ministry in India he has given eight years to the South American area and is now on the verge of retirement. The Commencement Speaker It was the desire of the administration and also of the senior class to see a leader from another denominational field on the list of speakers. In the light of this fact. Dr. Clarence McCartney, a prominent elder of the Presbyterian church was chosen. Doctor McCartney has been moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church. Though a much younger man than was William Jennings Bryan he was a close friend of that eminent statesman and it is well known that Mr. Bryan had a warm friendship for Taylor. Doctor McCartney ' s stand for the fundamentals of historic Christianity has made his influence felt throughout Christendom. At this time he is pastor of the great First Presbyterian church of Pittsburgh. Visiting Talent Aside from the talented platform men that Taylor has in its own faculty, a number of excellent speakers are listed among the visitors for the program this year. Notable among these is Mr. B. J. Williams, a distinguished layman from California, who has shown a very wholesome Interest in the young people on the campus of Taylor. Mr. Williams is an eminent organizer in the business field and is having some fame thrust upon him in the field of letters. His article some months ago In the American Magazine entitled Have a Heart attracted nation wide attention. Mr. Williams speaks on Monday night of Commencement in the inspirational rally in the interest of Taylor University. The faculty has voted this year to confer upon him the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters. V ' ?

Its membership, which represents different countries of the world, speaks in part of the influence that the college is exerting with respect to missionary movement. These students have not only proven themselves an asset to the life of the student body as a whole, but their contact with the church people in nearby communities, through Gospel Team work, has been an nivaluable inspiration in the promotion of world outlook and world sympathy. While it does not have a regular meeting like the debating clubs and literary societies, yet the spirit and attitude of its members to world problems and to the place of Christianity in modern social order, have widened the outlook of students and have deepened the consecration and loyalty of many to the cause of the Christian Church. However, the close spiritual fellowship among the members themselves, and the unri- valed friendship that has been brought about after a year of pleasant association, are something that will inspire its members even in the days that are to come. In the near future, when its present members shall have been scattered to different places of the world, and shall have assumed responsibilities in the great field of human endeavor, thi spirit and ideals of the Cosmopolitan will no doubt lend strength and encouragement even in the face of difficult and challenging problems. t: (fc?  ' V- ' a ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX T« THE missionary note which is outstanding at Taylor brings to her continually young men and women that have as their prime motive the carrying of the Gospel to distant lands. While these graduates go out to bring the peoples of other nations into a vital contact with Jesus Christ, they also make other contributions of which Taylor may be well proud. One of their occupations is the collecting of antiques, relics, and sundry other things of interest for the University Museum. There are in the museum, collections from all nations including Africa, China, India, Japan, and our own United States. Each nation has a very unique and interesting display. We also have in our museum the cradle in which the distinguished Bishop William Taylor was rocked to sleep. This year a very startling piece of animal structure was added to the museum in the form of a gigantic mastodon unearthed from a swampy farm tract a mile and a half southeast of Upland. One of our professors, John H. Furbay, with a crew of thirty-five energetic college students unearthed this massive skeleton. Piece by piece it was extracted from the earth until we now have the beast on exhibition in the museum. The jaw of this mastodon measures thirty-five inches in length, and his thigh bone measures over four feet, and his lower jaw contains a perfect display of his teeth. Pictures of this skeleton were published in many leading newspapers throughout the United States and the news reels of leading Motion Picture Houses carried interesting displays of this prehistoric elephant. Professor Furbay believes that if he continues his search In this swamp he will find numerous other remains of prehistoric beasts. The swamp is an ideal place for the entombment of such relics since it is very low and the ground is well packed. The animal of which we have spoken has been well preserved and much toil was expended in its excavation. ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-EIGHT ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE By John Paul President of Taylor University I saw a tempting morsel near the pool, Where jackals and black bear were wont to play; My partners on the ridge called me a fool, Because I spoke of getting it, one day. There were no two-legged rulers in our land; No Grant County, and no good old Indian ' ; There were hills and vales and trees and canyons grand, And certain glades, a dark and treacherous sand. They told me that my family was old. That my forbears had their struggles through the years, And my blood was hot, and I was most too bold; My power and my faine had quenched my fears. My family was not to live for aye. They were to yield their betters this good land; They were to have a decent burial day, Return to dust, and leave ine, lone and grand. It ' s lone and grand that I am now, they say, A farmer ' s plow proclaimed my resurrection day; And eager spirits, college boys, so called. Surround me, in their fancy den installed. It is good morning, to a country new and green; The dark vaults of a peat bog came between My wild, free world where I was glad to roam And Taylor University, my future home.

McAllister H UMOR seems to be one of the most essential things in all the world. At least there are a lot of people who try their best to produce it, but they only manage to make monkeys out of themselves. A joke told by some certain one may be entirely without that certain something which causes us to chuckle and laugh. Humor is a very subtle thing. It is strange how it may make a person either a very desirable guest or a tiresome bore. Humor is used for many things. It may be used to make a person more enjoyable in company, or it may be used to show how little a person does really know. It comes half way when you go out to meet it. It comes in handy in the home, in the office, on the train, in the city, or in the country. If it were not for humor, life would bel all brittle. Now that we have fully explained and apologized for humor we hope that a lot of serious-minded people will take it more seriously.

Hogle ' s notebook in chemistry) Apparatus: 2 5 0cc Flask. Materials: Axe, matches, gasoline, dynamite, nitroglycerine. Procedure: Drop lighted match into gasoline, this is to see if It supports combus- on. Does it? How high did it raise you? Measure distance in millimeters. Next deter- mine boiling point by placing lOcc into a beaker over Bunsen burner. Move a lighted splint over the gas and see how close you can come to it without igniting it. Make a record of the distance. Note the physical properties of nitroglycerine. Povmd a small piece of dynamite into a flat shape, and jump on It. Chop the dynamite in pieces one millimeter or the result will be inaccurate. Put dynamite into flask of 2 5cc c.ipacity, and add lOOcc of nitroglycerine. Move a lighted splint around the bottom of the beaker. This is to see if it leaks. If you are still in good health boil for fifteen minutes, and pour the residue through a sieve. After the blood has been mopped from the aisle, and the remains of your fellows sent to the morgue, clean up your desk and then from your results calculate the amoiuit of dynamite will be needed to blow the eyebrows off of a mosquito.

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY The Greatest Achievement of T. U. Press The Taylor University Press is equipped to publish high grade books or any kind of commercial printing. Its greatest product for the year is — THE SOUL DIGGER The first complete life of Bishop William Taylor. A true story, well told, stranger than fiction. The writer rises to an eloquence betimes to match the majesty of a life he successfully and sympathetically interprets. It will rank as one of the enduring books of the century. The author is John Paul, President of Taylor University. 1. If Bishop Hurst in his History was right, when he said that William Taylor was the modern St. Paul, one neglects his education when he fails to know Bishop Taylor. 2. Not until 1928 has Taylor ' s full biography been written. Com- petency, thoroughness and independence are needed to interpret the life of William Taylor. John Paul, President of Taylor University, which school is William Taylor ' s enduring monument, has furnished these qualities and wi ' itten the biography. 3. The Soul Digger, which is the title of The Life and Times of William Taylor, is as rich as a great novel. William Taylor, living and thinking ahead of his day, furnishes the best available biograph- ical subject for the pen of an enterprising, twentieth century writer whose pen is consecrated in the truth. 4. The price of the Soul Digger is S2.00, plus ten cents for carriage. The Taylor University Press, Upland, Indiana, will guarantee to every reader of the book a thrilling and edifying experience. It is eloquent, accurate, dramatic, cyclopedic. The Glory of the Book Store Such publications as The Soul Digger are the glory of the T. U. Book Store. Added to this will soon be the next elaborated Life of Sammy Morris by Jorge Masa. An eloquent and wonderful story. Taylor ' s Book Store is up-to-date in the service it renders in standard commodities of every kind.

An atmosphere of moral earnestness, where aimless drones feel lonesome. Approved college courses, with schools of Music and Expression. The students receive the personal attention of experienced Christian professors. A FIELD OF INVESTMENT Eighty years of honorable service almost without endowment led to this question: If Taylor can make brick without straw, how much more can she make with straw? Under the new educational law it became evident that Taylor would require One half million to exist and one half million to serve. Appeal is being made for the second half million, The Service Unit. The service is interdenominational, and the appeal is made to every one who is in favor of helping those that try to help themselves. The half century of struggle on Taylor ' s campus by poor boys and girls deter- mined to have a college education would move the sympathy of an iron man if he could witness it. If they knew what you were doing, said a prominent business man from the city, you would have no lack of buildings and endowment.
