The extent to which it has perpetuated the spirit of Bishop William Taylor will de- termine, in years to come, whether or not we have accomplished our purpose. We have attempted to portray the Taylor Activities with simplicity and accuracy. TABLE OF CONTENTS • VIEWS ADMINISTRATION CLASS ORGANIZATION ATHLETICS FEATURES DEDICATION T O our President, Robert Lee Stuart, in apprecia- tion of his altruistic spirit of devotion and untiring efforts for the welfare of Taylor University. BISHOP WILLIAM TAYLOR the 6cm BISHOP WILLIAM TAYLOR The youth of all ages is seeking a man to be followed as an ideal worthy of contem- plation and aspiration. For the modern youth no greater embodiment of the four- fold life can be found than by turning to the recent past and uncovering the hidden treasures of full physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual development in Bishop William Taylor. He was an athlete, educator, world traveler, and evangelist. Bishop Taylor acquired a strong physique through a direct contact with the out of doors. Due to his primary life interest being placed in spiritual things, he assured him- self of good health for his tasks by riding horseback from one community to another while engaged in pastoral duties. Men of athletic interests claim that his strong body and healthful life are a challenge to any man. He was a friend to all. Although being called A man of seven continents he was just as comfortable in the lowliest hovel of the pioneer community. In the early days of his work in the West he had won the respect of both Protestants and Catholics to the extent that everyone called him Father Taylor and freely supported his world- wide program. Following in the footsteps of Lincoln, Taylor ' s education was in a large measure duplicative. Notes with condensed material were always to be found in his pockets to be studied in odd moments. A weli-trained mind was of no small benefit when he endeavored and accomplished, within a comparatively short time, the task of speaking the language of his followers in new missionary enterprises. While never receiving a formal collegiate education, his examinations on entering the ministry would rival many of those of the best-trained youth of today. Colleges everywhere were seeking his presence, for his messages were filled with a strange power. As a spiritual leader, Bishop Taylor ' s mission was truly world-wide. When he saw a field white unto harvest he called a group of young people to go with him. If no one followed, he went alone. Early in life Taylor learned that the source of a vital Christian experience was through prayer. Much has been written, even by those con- verted under Taylor who are living today, on his prayer life. A friend from California says, He was so practical, matter of fact, and undemonstrative. Many people got out of patience with his detailed prayers, but the results accomplished have proven their value. The results of his labors in Australia are claimed to be equal with those of St. Paul. In promoting his missionary endeavors he was supported by laymen who placed confidence in him, for they knew every dollar invested brought results in kingdom building. Bishop Taylor was unquestionably one of the greatest preachers, evangelists, and pioneers the world has ever known. The words offered in prayer by Bishop Taylor in the parental home of Bishop Oldham should echo and re-echo in our hearts: Make him who hears feel that he must be a follower of Christ and take the message to someone else. Page Nine 1934 Cbe 6cm SAMMY MORRIS (TIone but not forgotten. Sammy Morris lives as much in the hearts of men now as in old Taylor University forty-one years ago. These are words from a classmate of this ebony-faced godly man who was once an African prince. This simple black boy from Africa was a visible miracle of the grace of God. Samuel Morris was an instrument in the hands of the Holy Spirit for the greater and grander development of all of humanity with which he came into contact. Dr. Read, former President of Taylor University, said of Sammy Morris, He turned the University upside down. He lived and died in the Holy Ghost. The challenge of the true Christian character of this young man has been a ready inspiration, sending many a man on his way t o give of his best for the Prince of Peace who instilled the very virtue of peace so marvelously in the soul of Sammy Morris. 1934 Page Tc the Bern b« - D E W $ 1934 Cb ?

The council members, who have been elected to represent the student point of view, have sought to further the mutual under- standing of the two groups in their role as official repre- sentatives. The council is composed of four members, one member being chosen by each class. The senior member acts as president of the council and presides as chairman over student body meetings. The junior member in a similar fashion acts as secretary of the council and of the student body. The student council sponsored the new student recep- tion in the fall and concurred with the two literary so- cieties in the rush day activities. Throughout the year the council has worked conjointly with Miss Dare, hostess of the dining hall, to provide entertainment for Friday evening dinners. 1934 Page Sixteen ADMDIMOSTIRATOOINI Cbe 6em ROBERT LEE STUART, Ph. B., D. D. President Page Seventeen 1934 Zb 6cm BURT W. AYRES, Ph. D. Vice-President PHILOSOPHY Dhilosophy deals with the human experience as a whole. It embraces the general aspects of all the sciences, seeking to bring all into a coherent system. Science in its modern meaning uses mainly description and explanation; Philosophy uses also interpretation and appreciation. Science deals with events as mere occurrences; Philosophy deals also with meanings and values. Logic deals with truth value s; Aesthetics, with beauty values; Ethics, with moral values. A person ' s philosophy is the set of beliefs by which he orders his life. A fundamental in the interpretation of the universe means a fundamental difference in his character and destiny. 1934 Page Eighteen Cbe Gem ARTHUR HOWARD, A. M. Dean of the College SOCIOLOGY The Department of Sociology seeks to disclose a comprehensive analysis of the science of human relationships and the constituent factors of group control. Two principles are kept to the front; first, that members of society should be given the fullest and richest possibilities of developing their potential powers, and secondly, that any individual should give his life unselfishly in building the lives of other persons and the group. Thorough theoretical preparation is offered as a basis for practical courses of the Department of Social Service of graduate schools. It is hoped that the student will discover that group interests are his interests, that his life is made the richer as he enriches group life, and that he will learn the worth of the spirit values of life, without which society is poor indeed. Page Nineteen 1034 Cbe 6cm AGNES GERKIN THE DEAN OF WOMEN WAhile a college group is a unit, it is made up of many parts, each individual differing in temperament, training, and ideals, and com- ing varying distances from the four corners of the earth. Learning to live successfully with others and with society as a whole is an important part of education. This accumulated group of young people in its social relationships works out its individual and group problems in the laboratory of its own existence. The Dean of Women helps through counsel and direction to make satisfactory social ad- justments which will lead not only to har- monious relationships in the present but to successful living after college days are over. WILLIS HOLMAN, A. M. THE DEAN OF MEN HpHF United States of America was the first nation to attempt to educate all the chil- dren at public expense. Teaching has become a profession. The teacher no longer teaches mere subject matter. He becomes a friend, a counselor, and guide to the children. He knows that his great function is that of build- ing character and citizenship. The Department of Education endeavors to meet the needs of all those who desire to pre- pare for the highest type of teaching. We make our offerings in the finest atmosphere that can be found anywhere. Our courses have general educational and cultural values for any who may desire to enter religious work or social activities. 1934 Page Twenty Cbe Gem ANCIENT LANGUAGES HThe question of the educational worth of any subject is a pertinent one. This is particu- larly true of Latin. Its value is manifest in that it confers mastery over the resources of one ' s mother tongue. Its flexibility compels such a choosing and testing and nice discrim- ination of sound, propriety, position and shade of meaning, that we now first learn the secret of words used or misused all our lives. It develops generalized habits, such as sustained attention, accuracy, orderly proce- dure, neatness, thoroughness, perseverance, and their expression with clearness and force. Moreover, it increases ability to understand and appreciate references and allusions to the mythology, traditions, and history of the Greeks and Romans in English literature and current publications. GEORGE EVANS, A. M., D. D. BIBLE AND THEOLOGY Porty-eight term-hours cover the Bible. Nine hours are required for a baccalaureate degree, eighteen are highly desirable, and a major will give a good foundation for gradu- ate work in Theology. Bible 8 (Pentateuch) is the foundation course. If only one other can be taken, it should be Bible 23 (Gospels). The Bible is the Divinely inspired revelation of God ' s will to men, containing the unequalled literature of the ages, the most important his- tory and principles of history, the means of the development of the finest character and cultural refinement, and the only answer to the questions of men concerning religion, earth ' s problems, man ' s present duty and his eternal destiny. Theology and Christian Evi- dences are also very important. A. LINCOLN SHUTE, A. M., B. D., Th. D. Page Twcnty-onc 1934 Cbe Gem CLARENCE L. NYSTROM, A. M., Ph. D. SPEECH AND PSYCHOLOGY T he Department of Speech aims to provide a curriculum that will offer as wide a train- ing in the art and science of public speaking as is possible. Courses and extra-curricular activities in the fundamentals of speech, ex- temporaneous speaking, oratory, interpretive reading, pulpit speech, debating, and drama are all co-ordinated toward this objective. The scientific aspects of psychology are com- ing to be more and more recognized in the teaching of this subject. The founding of a psychological laboratory at Taylor is an ac- knowledgment of this emphasis. Already sig- nificant contributions to experimental psychol- ogy are being undertaken in this laboratory. The applied phases of the subject are also given due consideration by the department. WILLIAM J. TINKLE, A. M., Ph. D. BIOLOGY ' T ' he Biology Department endeavors to give every student an understanding of the fun- damental laws that govern plant and animal life. Many of these laws of nature apply to the human family as well. Thus a broad cul- tural foundation is laid which aids in the solu- tion of the problems of life. In addition, the department offers courses specially designed for pre-medical students, and for those who are preparing to teach biological courses in the secondary schools. The environment of the university pro- vides many interesting plants and animals for study. The laboratory equipment is good. The collections of plants and animals from widely scattered sources, housed in the museum, help greatly in the instruction. The most famous exhibit is the skeleton of the mastodon discov- ered near Taylor in 1928. 19B4 Page Twenty-two £b ? Gem HISTORY HP he primary purpose of history as taught to- day is to understand the fundamental social and economic factors that have contributed to the evolutionary and revolutionary transfor- mations of society. This approach increases not only the value but also the interest of historical study. From this approach it is pos- sible to appreciate the importance of religious and social idealism and divine leadership among the determining factors of history, and to glean from such historical inquiry the funda- mental lessons of human experience. This greatly enhances the contribution that the study of history can make to the problems of the modern day. To accomplish this is the purpose of the Department of History in Taylor University. GEORGE T. OBORN, A. M., Ph. D. CHEMISTRY The rapid growth of Chemistry, its increas- ing importance in all fields of science, and in the world in general, makes the subject one of great and increasing value. The Chemistry Department has three iunctions. It affords an interesting and instructive means of fulfilling the science requirement. For those interested in Biological Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Physics, Home Economics, Agriculture, and Engineering, it offers a very fundamental and necessary foundation. It also furnishes a strong and well-rounded major for those interested in the field of Chemistry itself. G. HARLOW EVANS, M. S. Piigc Twcnty-thri 1934 €b ? 6cm  i 1 J. F. COTTINGHAM, D. D. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION D eligious Education may be said to be three- fold. These are the psychological, the aes- thetic, and the moral and spiritual aspects. The psychological aspect is rarely neglected. Mos- cow with no-God and Tokio with an Emperor- God are diligent in child training. These have chairs in Religious and non-Religious educa- tion. We recognize the great value of the study of psychology and the training of the child, yet we consider also the great moral and spir- itual values based on the Revealed Word. Love for the beautiful in nature and music and art must be taught, but this detracts noth- ing from the vital faith in the Rose of Sharon, the glories of the Cross, and the wonders of a Resurrected Christ. Education concerning the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind puts aside race prejudice and pride, as love and sympathy grows with the study of men and religions of men, yet we avoid falling into the error of syncretism, for we know that Our Christ sits on a Solitary Throne. THEODORA BOTHWELL, MUS. M. PIANO AND ORGAN HpHE School of Music, one of the strongest departments of Taylor University, is justly known in many states for the efficient instruc- tion given in its various fields. Students are provided with a strictly mod- ern Music Hall, having up-to-date equipment in studios and practice rooms. The three-man- ual chapel organ is available for practice. The extra-curricular activities of the Music School, such as the Choral Society, the Glee Clubs, the Orchestra, and the Band, are varied and helpful to the general life of the college. The public recitals of advanced students in piano, organ, violin, and voice are also annual features of interest to the community. The School of Music is a division of Taylor University of which we may well be proud. 1934 Page Twenty-four tb ? 6cm ENGLISH Tn these days of culture and creative learning, the department of English is attempting to stress the technical, artistic, and cultural phase of the work. Emphasis is laid on the training of teachers and in the development of a general under- standing of English. In as much as present- day training appeals to the culture and aesthet- ic aspects of the language, the trend of the department is toward the development of the finer arts — self-expression and spontaneity of inward reaction. Correlating with this, some stress is laid on the acquaintance with rhythm, style and personality of authors by audible reading of their work and catching the nature of their beat. FRENCH Tn these days of increasing concern for world-peace, we look to every means that promotes friendship and brotherhood between nations. Foreign language study is one of these aids. It acquaints the student with people of other lands, with their aspirations, their viewpoints, and their customs. The French have their problems and strug- gles, as recent uprisings in Paris indicate. The study of French, the reading of French literature, and the tracing of events in the journaux increase one ' s appreciation of the country and one ' s wish for her best national development as well as for her cooperation with the rest of the world. LULA F. CLINE, A.M. SUSAN B. GIBSON, A. M. Page Twcnty-fii 1934 Zh 6m MATHEMATICS HTo the ancient Greeks, mathematics was a thing of beauty; today it is largely utili- tarian. Yet many of the foundation stones, laid centuries ago, are still secure, and upon these slowly-builded foundations of the cen- turies past has risen the marvelous scientific and mechanical structure of the present. With- out this often invisible foundation, science be- comes superstition, mechanics dangerous, and progress impossible. Of all the sciences, physics has been perhaps most closely associated with mathematics through the more recent centuries and has been able to make a very large contribution to the progress of the age in which we live. OLIVE MAY DRAPER, A. M. GERMAN The department of German was re-established comparatively a few years ago after being dropped during the World War. Since the time of its re-inauguration it has had a steady growth. One reason for its growth is the rec- ognized need of a knowledge of German in many fields of graduate study. The fundamental purpose of the department is to introduce students to and to cause them to enjoy the great literature which is found written in the German tongue. In addition, the mental disciplinary advantages of the study of language are constantly emphasized. GEORGE FENSTERMACHER, A.M. mi Page Twenty-s Cbe 6cm SPANISH Cpanish looks back to the golden age of writ- ers and explorers and forward to the glow- ing future of nineteen modern nations, eighteen of them our own southern neighbors. The fol- lowing words of Herbert Hoover indicate a big reason for studying this subject: The Spanish language occupies on this continent a place of importance second only to that of English. In addition to the benefits of all language study, the Spanish student gains an appreciative knowledge of a famous culture, develops a sympathetic understanding of the growing Latin American countries, and begins a valuable preparation for future commercial, diplomatic, or missionary service in the Spanish world. ECONOMICS Pconomics is something from which no one can escape, regardless of the industrial sys- tem under which he lives or in what part of the world he may find himself. In our eco- nomic courses we t ry to lay a foundation for the student that will be practical whether he goes into business or into some other walk of life. Hence, the survey or principles course, is studied from the institutional approach rather than from the strictly theoretical viewpoint. The other courses, taking up labor and finance, are for those students who want to pursue problems of the introductory course more deeply. JAMES W. ELLIOTT, A. M. A. H. CORNWELL, Ph. M. Page Twenty-seven 1934 tbe 6cm HOME ECONOMICS HThe Home Economics Department purposes to provide practical experience as well as theoretical training in choosing, preparing, and serving meals, and in designing and construct- ing clothing. In the field of Home Manage- ment, the department deals with family rela- tions and economic and social life in the home. This department is located in Wisconsin Dorm- itory, and consists of a kitchen with modern equipment, a dining room, a clothing room, and a fitting room. The clothing room is easily converted into a living room for social occa- sions. IRMA DARE, A. M. ANCIENT LANGUAGES C ver the entrance to the Academy of Athens was inscribed, Let no one enter here who is ignorant of geometry. At the entrance to the profession of the ministry should be writ- ten large, Let no one enter here who is ig- norant of Greek. A Christian minister should have a working knowledge of the language in which the original Christian documents were written. Carlyle, when questioned concerning the neglect of Greek and Hebrew by ministers, exclaimed, What! Your priests not know their sacred books? Furthermore, Greek contains the roots of the choice literature of modern language, whether poetry, philosophy, politics, law, romance, sci- ence, art, or religion. MARY F. JONES, A. M. 1934 Page Twenty-eight the 6em THE LIBRARY ' The Mooney Library was organized in 1893 from the donations of books from the liter- ary societies and a generous gift from the Rev. George W. Mooney, of New York City, in whose honor it was named. In 1900 the library contained approximately 4,000 volumes; since then it has increased until at the present time the library is composed of 13,000 volumes, a large number of pamphlets, and a good selec- tion of general and scientific periodicals. The library, through gifts and purchase, seeks to maintain a good collection of books to meet the present demand. Some of the important reference sets recently added are: The Dictionary of American Biography, Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, The Dictionary of applied Chemistry, and The Cambridge Modern History. These were made possible by the gift of the Senior class of ' 3 2. IVEL GUILER, A. B. VOICE The aim of the Voice Department is to give the best vocal training, which is in accord with the purposes of the School of Music. In- struction is given not only under private tutor- ship but in voice classes. The Men ' s and Wom- en ' s Glee Clubs and Choral Society furnish stu- dents practical training in ensemble singing. With the discipline which results from regular practice schedules is co-ordinated the develop- ment of the student ' s interpretive sense and a desire for fine musicianship. ERWIN W. STEUCKE, MUS. B. Page Twenty-nine mi Cb ? 6cm SADIE L. MILLER JUNIOR PIANO Tt is reported that the people of a prominent religious sect are known to say, Give me the first seven years of a child ' s life and I will vouch for the rest. The first years of a musical education are of similar significance, whether the pupil is a child in years or an adult who is a child in music. The Junior Piano Department of Taylor Uni- versity is under the direction of an instructor who has made the teaching of beginners a specialty. Miss Sadie Louise Miller has profited from many years ' experience in teaching be- ginners, and it is her desire to keep abreast with the latest improved methods for her particular line of work. The recitals given by the chil- dren of this department are among the most interesting programs which are held during the college year. fas ms In appreciation of Bishop William Taylor ' s spirit of Christian world conquest. 1934 Page Thirty CLASSES Cbe Gem GRADUATE STUDENTS CHARLES E.

Page Thirty-tbi 1934 Cbe 6cm CLASS OF 1934 Tn the fall of ' 3 0, approximately seventy-five students began their college careers under the presidency of Robert Titus and the sponsorship of Professor Wilson Paul. Members of the class rapidly adapted themselves to the college program and soon assumed an important position in scholastic and extra curricular activities. Bernard Coldiron served as president during the second year and Dr. John Furbay was chosen as class sponsor subsequent to the departure of Professor Paul. Outstanding among the events of the second year was the Easter Breakfast, planned and served by the class. The Friday noon prayer hour constituted one of the most interesting and inspira- tional features of the Junior year. Class activities were crowned by the traditional Junior-Senior banquet held at Hotel Spencer in Marion, Indiana. An innovation was made in the usual election procedure by the re-election of Mar- vin Schilling, popular third-year president. Following Dr. Furbay ' s departure Dr. Ayres was unanimously chosen as class advisor. Before leaving school the members of the class have endeavored to express in some measure a small part of their appreciation for Taylor by the gift of a water softener for Wisconsin and Magee Dormitories. Now, as Seniors, the class stands on the threshold of Graduation and Commencement — the end and yet the beginning. They have met Taylor ' s requirements and now go forth better prepared to increase the extent of their life work and satisfy their highest ambitions. 1934 Page Thirty- f our Cbe 6em R.

They have not left you clear passports to ease, A futile, learned mind, soft hands — these Be the heritage of those who never knew The needy cry abroad. You They have given armour, sturdy cast In a strong love for right, and zest For truth; wrought by the hands of One Who in His wisdom said, The man That loses life for Me shall find That life again. Mankind Has need for armor such as this To lift the ban of murky selfishness, Unbind the fetters of a narrow creed And scatter Love from confines freed. Go then, Andwith the armor these four years have given Do worthily, lift earth to heaven Nearer. With persistence wrest From life ' s reluctant grasp the best She has. Mere time holds naught Of any lasting good unsought. Be true to all that duty lays Before you; her small ways Of service be not slow to take — Love serves for Love ' s own sake. Keep pure thy soul — here lies The only entrance that joy has Into thy life. Be free From petty littleness. See, Far beyond the narrow trend Of now, years wend Their solitary way into the wide Unknown; lo, at thy side Walks One with thee. — Frances Scoff W4 Page Forty-two Cbe 6cm JUNIORS W4 Cb ? 6cm THE JUNIORS ( )n reviewing the past year, the Class of ' 3 5 can say, A year well spent. Beginning the year with the announcement of the Junior Rules, followed by various meetings and parties, the class climaxed its achievements with the Junior-Senior banquet, held in Recreation Hall of Wisconsin Dormitory. The haunts of Hiawatha, en- hanced by the laughing water of Minnetonka, formed a realistic and rustic background for this delightful program. In religious life the class has been both consistent and progressive. The Thursday morning prayer hour has added to the life of the class. Several Gospel teams and groups of religious workers, as well as all the members of the Varsity Male Quartet, are Juniors. For the third consecutive year the class basketball team came through the interclass series without a loss. The girls ' team made a good showing, although they were not quite so fortunate. f934 Page Forty-four CJ e 6em t PRESIDENT VICE-PR1 SIOI N I SI KI lAltV BLAINE BISHOP • President How could one by little toil achieve things great?

After a few months on the campus as Freshmen they had acclimated themselves to college life and had fitted definitely into its activities. During the second year they have broadened their influence and have strengthened the ties of class spirit. Under the leadership of John Betzold, president, and with the counsel of Professor Holiman, class sponsor, the group have enjoyed a happy year together. Their class enthusiasm and loyalty have been evidenced in a number of parties and group activities. SPONSOR Professor Willis N. Holiman PERSONNEL COL.

After registering and becoming familiar with dormitory regulations the incoming group started on its highway of achievement in an organized way by the election of officers and the selection of Professor Steucke as class sponsor. This class has furnished talent for a number of the outstanding pro- grams of the year and has served efficiently in the various organizations. They have been characterized by a depth of Christian character and scholastic attainment. The class has been ably represented in intercollegiate basketball, base- ball, and track competition. Splendid material for future play has also been revealed in both men ' s and women ' s inter-class tilts. The class of 1937 has made a very definite contribution to the college program and promises even greater development in the ensuing years. SPONSOR Professor Erwin W. Steucke PERSONNEL COL. I COL.

During the current year the organization was fortunate in having the presence of Dr. and Mrs. Cottingham, missionaries to the Philippine Islands, and Dr. and Mrs. Wengatz, missionaries to Africa. These evangelistic leaders brought interesting and inspirational instruction in the regular meetings on mission study. The members of the local chapter have sought to give a practical outlet to their ideals and passions by supporting a native worker in Angola, Africa. OFFICERS Park Anderson, President, Fall Term.

Every member of this group expressed his willingness and desire to do Gospel Team work. Throughout the year groups of singers, preachers, and personal workers have gone to neighboring churches to assist pastors with song, sermon, and testimony. The Spiritual Conference of Indiana Youth, which was held on Taylor ' s campus the 13th, 14th, and 15th of April was a climax to the efforts of the organization for the year.

PRAYER BAND HThe message of love is here — Pray without ceasing. Of all the hahowed retreats in Taylor University, there is perhaps none more blessed than that of the Tuesday evening Prayer Band. As the Master withdrew from the multitudes into the desert place to pray, so this band of followers withdraws from the activities and cares of school life to meet the Master in the fellowship of prayer. Through launching out into the depths of prayer, the character of many a student has grown in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Just to be still and know that I am God has brought the consciousness of the witness of the Holy Spirit to each soul. The Prayer Band is the instrument through which alumni, pastors, and missionaries, scattered out on the far-flung borders of Christianity have been brought to the throne of Grace, the Band praying the benediction of God upon their labors. Depth of Christian character and spirituality has been widened by this band. 19M Page Sixty-two tfc 6etn PERSONNEL Row 1: Anderson , Ballard, C. Campbell, Gates, Givens, Hodges.

MEN ' S MINISTERIAL HThe Men ' s Ministerial Organization has a definite purpose for its existence on the campus. Its members find in this organization an opportunity to gain a better understanding of ministerial work by discussion of the minister ' s problems, by in- struction from experienced ministers and by practical experience of preaching. Programs throughout the year have been of a varied nature. Some meetings have been given to practice-preaching while in others the members benefited from discus- sions of the technique of a pastor. Men planning to enter the ministry as a life work find this organization helpful in both the educational and inspirational realms. Dr. Shute and Dr. Cottingham have taken an active interest in the work of the organization and have added their inspiration to the meetings. Their guidance and instruction have been largely responsible for the success throughout this year. Page Sixty-three I9S4 tbe 6cm OFFICERS Row 1: Anderson, Boyle, Cline, Koch, Martin H.

The organization has no definite membership but the faculty and entire student body share in this spiritual retreat at the close of the week. Friday evenings throughout the year have brought an interesting variety of programs with local and outside talent. The messages of song and testimony in these weekly fellowship hours have been of im- portance to the spiritual atmosphere on the campus. Holiness League has served as the local chapter for Young People ' s Gospel League during the past five years. In this affiliation the organi- zation was privileged to entertain the annual convention of the National Y. P. G. L. in November. Delegates from other chapters of the or- ganization representing Chicago Evangelistic Institute, Asbury College, Marion College, and John Fletcher College joined the local chapter in three days of planning for more effective presentation of the Gospel to the youth of the world. 1934 Page Sixty-four Cbe 6em LITERARV Page Sixty-fire 1934 tbe 6cm THALONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY ' T ' he Thalonian Literary Society has brought to a close one of the most successful years in the history of the society. Due to the change of the athletic program, more stress was given to the development of literary excellence. This line of achieve- ment was first noted in the initial program, The Pearls of Rajah Singh. This inter- esting presentation was followed by a new student comedy sketch, A Case of Suspen- sion, directed by Mr. Harold Martin. The traditional masquerade at Hallowe ' en time with its ghostly figure and pumpkin pie was one of the outstanding features of the year. At Christmas time the religious drama The Holy Grail was given before a Taylor audience. Later this inspirational pageant was presented at the Soldier ' s Memo- rial Hospital at Marion, Indiana. The society has made definite advance in all lines of endeavor this year. A new constitution was drafted in the fall term which provided for bi-monthly meetings. These meetings featured beneficial programs in which members of the society were provided opportunities for social and literary development. The friendly feeling of Rush Day activities has characterized the relationship with the Philalethean society throughout the year.

Greater emphasis was piaced upon the literary activities of the society itself by the discontinuance of the traditional athletic program and the inauguration of bi-monthly meetings in which interesting programs were pre- sented. Climaxing the friendly rush week rivalry for favor among the new students, a play entitled The Coming of the Dawn was presented by the society. This production was written and directed by Mr. Lauren York. Later the new Philalethean members made their debut before the Taylor audience in their presentation of the Mysterious Rendezvous, a comedy depicting college life. The annual Hallowe ' en hay ride was one of the many enjoyable social features of the year. Perhaps the most novel of the society ' s public programs was the Theremin recital presented by Mrs. Balsley of Marion, Indiana. The sacred drama Barabbas came as a fitting conclusion to an impressive Easter season. As a result of the co-operation and efforts of the members, the society has been able to promote and maintain a high standard of literary excellence.

By this affiliation several important books on world-wide affairs were secured for the library. The History Club has offered its members an opportunity of acquaintance with current event problems of the day by group discussions, instructive talks and guided study. At other times opportunities were given for individual presentation of world problems. The club is not only enthusiastically supported by students majoring in history but by all interested in world affairs. Dr. Oborn, head of the History Department, was elected club sponsor at the first of the year and his supervision and interest have greatly aided the club. Mr. Charles Cookingham has very ably served in the capacity of president throughout the year. 1934 Page Scvaify-foitr Cfc 6em Row 1 Row 2 Row } Ayres, Bell, Bickel, Brothers, Catlin, L. Coby, R.

Au printemps nous recevons les etudiants de la premiere annee comme membres et nous les faisons les bienvenus dans une soiree. Since its organization in 1927, the French Club, under the leadership of Professor Gibson, has been of definite aid to those studying French. The club not only gives its members an opportunity to use the language in a practical way, but affords them pleasure and entertainment in the bi-monthly meetings. The students eating in the dining hall are privileged to eat at the French table where all converse in the French language. The club meetings feature songs, poems, plays, stories, games, and anecdotes. The business meetings as well as the programs are conducted in French. Page Seventy- five mi Cbe 6ttn Row 1: Brothers, C.

Consequently a group met on November 8th and formally organized themselves in an organization known as the English Guild, with Professor Cline as sponsor. The constitution for this organization was accepted by twenty-five charter members. The aims and purposes of the group are to develop creative talents, to study the history of slang, to gather gleanings for scrap books, and to correlate different forms of art with that of literature. Outstanding among the activities of the English Guild have been the Christmas program, the scrap book hour, and the Saint Patrick tea. Each of these programs has been characterized by a cultural atmosphere. The members of the organization are restricted to Sophomore, Junior and Senior members of the English Department. Six additional members are selected and ad- mitted from the Freshman class at the beginning of the Spring Term. The Guild stands for the highest scholastic standards and consequently limits its membership. 1934 Cfte Gem F0RENS1CS = W4 Page Seventy-seven Cb ? 6cm Rou 1: Bloss, Brothers, Deich, Drake, English, Evans, Grile, Gross.

SOANGETAHA DEBATING CLUB npWEi.vE Strong-Hearted Maidens, united in strength and determination, returned to school in the fall to carry on the activities of the club. The accomplishments of this group have made a successful Soangetaha year. Following the custom of former years the new girls were guests of the club at the fall Pow Wow. Later these guests were invited to a regular meeting of the group. One of the outstanding features of the forensic year was the traditional interclub debate, which was reinstated this year. Besides specific forensic development the Soangetaha Debating Club is noted for its excellent training in parliamentary proce- dure and for the note of formality in the meetings. The Soangetahas have sought to maintain a balance of social activity throughout the year. In February an interesting Valentine party was enjoyed, and in the spring the climax of the year came in the formal banquet, an outstanding event for those present. 1934 Page Seventy-eight Zb 6em Row 1: Beckrink, Bickel, Birkenruth, L.

MNANKA DEBATE CLUB Tn the fall of 1921, thirty-two coeds felt the need for a second debate club for women. Consequently the Mnanka Debating Club was formed. At that time these women chose Weavers of Knowledge as their motto and orange and white as the club colors. These insignia have been representative of an organization that has left lasting impressions on the lives of those who have become Mnankas. One of the outstanding events of the year was the formal tea given in honor of the new women students by the members of the club. This has been followed by a number of social evencs throughout the year which have added considerably to the social life of Taylor. The Mnankas feel that progress has been made this year toward a better club. There has been a keen interest in the regular meetings, the procedure of which in- cluded prepared debates on topics of world interest, parliamentary drill, and im- promptu speeches. The climax of the year came in the annual banquet given this spring in honor of the guests of the club. The end of the year brings to a close another fruitful season of club work. 1934 Viige Seventy-vine Cb ? 6cm Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Bastian, Cookingham, Dennis, DeWolfe, Hamann.

EULOGONIAN DEBATE CLUB Cver in keeping with previous standards set by the Eulogonian Debating Club, the Eulogs successfully organized at the beginning of the year under the capable leadership of Charles Taylor as president. Other officers were Russell Jacobs, vice- president; Nelson Bastian, secretary; Paul Yingling, treasurer; Robert Dennis, chap- lain; and Robert Jacobs, chairman of the board of censors. The cooperative spirit between the Eulogonian and Eurekan Debating Clubs, which was shown in the autumn jamboree, has been manifested throughout the year in a temporoary union of the two organizations. The club has aimed by means of interesting debates, extemporaneous speeches, and parliamentary drill to train every member to speak with ease. All loyal members of the Eulogonian Debating Club feel that their organization is an assential part of the school and that it is a definite contributive factor to the upbuilding of their mental and social lives. 1934 Page Eighty the Bern Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Abbey, Ayres, Boyd, Chappell, Drake, Gates, Haines, Herrmann.

EUREKAN DEBATING CLUB W ' ith the advent of the blue eagle, the Eurekan Debating Club finds itself keep- ing well abreast of the times. Under the leadership of Percival Wesche and his cabinet, Derward Abbey, vice-president; Kenneth Stokes, secretary; Wirth Ten- nant, treasurer; VanNess Chappell, chaplain; and Gordon Herrmann, chairman of the board of censors, the club has done its part in a commendable manner, maintaining those high ideals for which the club was formed more than thirty years ago, and which have proved to be the stepping stones to success throughout the years. Having begun the year with the joint jamboree of the men ' s debating clubs, the Eurekans have found it advisable to unite temporarily with the Eulogonians in what is now known as the Men ' s Debating Club of Taylor University. This group is primarily organized to promote interest in debating on the part of all men in the college. The Club has been instrumental in aiding many to think and speak intelligently before audiences. It has striven to facilitate the functioning of Mind, the power of man. Through consistent programs of parliamentary drill, extemporaneous and im- promptu speeches and valuable debates the club has been of invaluable assistance to bo th old and new members.

INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATORS ' T ' aylor University Debators have brought to a close one of the finest years of de- bating in the history of Taylor forensics. This year ' s success has not been so much in the number of debates won or lost as it has been in the interest of the students and the fine efforts of an inexperienced squad against the strongest competition Taylor teams have ever been privileged to meet. The squad was composed of Clifton Hoffman, Clarence Miller, Jack Miller, Harold Martin, Marvin Schilling, Peter Pascoe, Percival Wesche, captain of the affirmative team, and Owen Shields, captain of the negative team. Seventeen debates were scheduled with the following schools: Purdue, Northwestern, Wabash, Anderson, Valparaiso, Earlham, Butler, Iowa, North Manchester, Hanover, and Rose Poly Technical of Terre Haute. This schedule included four Big Ten teams and teams from some of the strongest schools in Indiana. The question debated by the Indiana League of which Taylor is a member was: Resolved that the Present Policy of Japan in the Far East should be Approved. mi Eighty-two Cbc Gem MUSIC Eighty-thi 19S4 Cbe Son SCHOOL OF MUSIC HThe Taylor University School of Music, under the sur- veillance of Professor Bothwell, is noted for its high standard of instruction. The Senior Piano Department under Miss Bothwell has presented a number of students throughout the year in practice and public recitals. One of the unique features of the school is the Junior Piano Department composed of children and student beginners. This Department is supervised by Miss Sadie Miller. Pro- fessor Fenstermacher, head of the String Department, teaches the studies of harmony and music theory. The voice instruction of the school is given by Professor Steucke who has combined individual instruction with valuable choral and ensemble training. Outstanding among the activities of the year have been the recitals featuring Miss Roberta Bennett, organist, Miss Athalia Koch, pianist, and Miss Martha Smith, violinist. Besides these public recitals there have been weekly prac- tice recitals in which all music students were provided opportunity for performance experience. 1934 Page Eighty-four Cb ? 6em QUARTET HThe student body is proud of the Taylor University Quartet, which has so ably rep- resented the school in all parts of the country throughout the year. The group is composed of Messrs. Robert Dennis, first tenor; Robert Titus, second tenor; Ralph Long, first bass; and Lauren York, second bass. During the summer the quartet traveled over seventy-five hundred miles, averaging more than one appearance a day, singing before institute groups, camp meetings and church congregations. Their songs and testimonies have won a hearty welcome for them wherever they have gone and have been a means of drawing a number of students to Taylor. One of the outstanding activities of the quartet this year was their assistance in the two weeks ' revival meeting held by Dr. Stuart in Buffalo, N. Y. During the two- week period eleven radio presentations were given over the Buffalo radio stations. Taylor is fortunate in having other talented quartets who have also been active throughout the year in gospel team work. Page Eighty-fin W4 Cbe 6cm WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB ' T ' he Women ' s Glee Club of Taylor University was organized in Octo- ber under the direction of Professor Steucke. The officers elected for the year were Miss Marjorie White, president; Miss Grace Hall, vice- president; and Miss Esther Boyle, reporter. This year the club has enjoyed working on Spanish Tambourine by Robert Shumann, Peat Fire Smooring Prayer, a chant, by Hugh Robert- son, and the Vesper Hymn by Dana Bortniansky. The club has also enjoyed singing some songs of the Southland and a few numbers with negro dialect. The rehearsals of the organization have been well attended through- out the year and have provided members opportunity for experience in group singing. Through the cooperation and efforts of the personnel it has been possible for the organization to maintain the same high de- gree of excellence that has characterized the activities of the Women ' s Glee Club in other years. 1934 Eighty-six Cbe 6em MEN ' S GLEE CLUB IpHE year 1934 marks one of the greatest years the Taylor University Men ' s Glee Club has ever known. This popular collegiate ensemble, in addition to its annual home concert, has rendered various Sunday eve- ning concerts in many of the largest churches of central Indiana. It has been acclaimed wherever presented with great enthusiasm. Many requests for return engagements have been received. Highly favorable press reports and appreciative critics have praised the Club for its ex- cellent diction and sensitive interpretation. Their concert programs have included numbers chosen from a wide range of classic and modern composers. The club ' s depth of interpre- tation and rich harmony effects were dominant in the negro spirituals Steal Away, in Allen ' s arrangement of Nearer, My God to Thee, and in Palestrina ' s O Holy Father. The members of the club appreciate the excellent training received under Professor Steucke.

This popular musical organization under the direction of Mr. Fred Reiter has rendered outstanding performances in various events of the year. The band made its initial appearance in Shreiner auditorium presenting to a chapel audience a very pleasing group of band selections. A short time later this group introduced the intercollegiate basketball season on the home floor with a group of spirited marches especially prepared for the occasion. The principal feature of the band for the year was their assistance in the Grant County Corn Show held in Maytag Gymnasium. Their splendid rendition of difficult overtures and excellent marches contributed to the success of the banquet. The organization is appreciative of the services of Mr. Reiter, who, having studied under Prof. Joseph Eliot of Cincinnati, Prof. Maddy of the University of Michigan, and in the Metropolitan School of Music in Indianapolis, and being a musician of no little talent, has been in a posi- tion to give valuable training to the band members. His enthusiasm and untiring interest in the work have been of unquestioned value to those under his instruction. 1934 Page Eighty-eight Cbe 6cm ORCHESTRA TThe accomplishments of the University Orchestra under the able lead- ership of Professor Fenstermacher have made this organization an out- standing instrumental group on the campus this year. Its membership is made up of students in the Music School and others of the college and community who desire experience in ensemble playing and acquaintance with orchestral compositions. The Freshman class furnished many valuable members for the orches- tra. The string section has been enlarged considerably and a bassoon has been added. These additions aided in the replacement of vacancies left by last year ' s graduates and in the organizing of a well balanced group. The first concert of the year was given before a chapel audience in commemoration of Armistice Day. Later the orchestra presented a con- cert before a Hartford City audience which was received with great ovation. One of the orchestra ' s outstanding features has been the string quartet. Their excellent performance at the Junior-Senior banquet contributed much to the success of that traditional event.

CORNWELL TAYLOR ATHLETICS HTaylor ' s athletic program underwent several changes during the year of 1933-34 which were gratifying to the administrators and quite satisfactory to the student body. The first of these changes was the dropping of athletics from the societies and the carrying on of intra- mural athletics entirely by classes. The second change was the intro- duction of a controlled program of intercollegiate athletics. A third change of lesser moment was the decatholon form of running off the intramural track meet. And fourth, in the round robin system of tennis play, the winner was picked upon a percentage basis. Under the above program the student body has been united against a common foe while there have been many hotly contested games where friendly rivalry existed in the class contests. Ten victories and five losses turned in by the basketball team was considered an excellent record for the first year in competition. The loss of Art Howard, the only Senior on the team, is a severe one, but there will be several boys in there next year fighting to fill his place. Ninety-one 1934 Cbe 6em MAYTAG GYMNASIUM INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Tt was thought advisable last fall to add a controlled program of inter- collegiate athletics to the college activities. The results cannot be measured in terms of scoring records alone, although they have been very satisfactory from other standpoints. First, there was the elimination of a division in the student body. As there are only two societies, Philo and Thalo, which had become largely athletic, new students naturally joined one or the other with not even a third choice to relieve the in- tensity of feeling. Now we have a common goal and the spirit of the campus indicated a marked difference early in the year. We have made our societies more literary and our athletics more collegiate. Second, valuable contacts were made with other educational institutions. Third, good training was received by the members of the teams which in turn was absorbed by the student body as a whole. 1934 Page Ninety-two the Gem w 3 n BASKETBALL ' pHE Taylor University Trojans opened their initial intercollegiate sea- son with a win over Concordia College of Fort Wayne, 29 to 20. The first half ended with Taylor leading 12 to 7. The crimson Concordians rallied in the second half but too late to overcome the Trojan ' s rapid scoring attack. In the second tilt of the season, the Trojans won by an impressive score of 52 to 3 8 from the Anderson College quintet with Duckwall, first-year man, playing a good defensive game, and Smith helping the Taylor score by a number of fine shots from forward position. Continuing their wins the Trojans defeated Huntington College on the local court by a score of 22 to 15. This was Taylor ' s first intercollegiate basketball game on the home floor. The Trojans ' fast-breaking attack and impenetrable defense combined with Stuart ' s accurate basket shooting proved to be too much for the visiting collegians. 1934 Page Ninety-three £bc 6 zm 3 HOWARD CflPT STUART The Trojans turned to face their tough- est competition of the year in their play against Indiana Central College at Indian- apolis on Thanksgiving night. Using a speedy offensive attack the Trojans pushed the Greyhounds to the limit throughout the game. The Taylorites were trailing by a small two point margin at the end of the half. With only four minutes to go in the last half the Trojans were leading 2 8 to 24 due to Howard ' s sensational shooting. How- ever, the capitol city team managed to eke out a win by a 3 2 to 29 count. It was a terrific ball game with the Purple and Gold team playing on equal terms with their op- ponents in both halves. Smarting under a 20 to 24 defeat on the home court of the Anderson High School Indians, the Trojans outplayed Kokomo Junior College, 32 to 20, in the last game before Christmas. Hunter ' s fine defensive work and the brilliant offensive play of the three basketeers, Miller, Howard and Stuart, was unbeatable. In Kokomo ' s return game, the first after vacation, the Trojans barely nosed out the determined Kokomo team. Although trail- ing 17 to 20 at the half the Taylor men recorded a 41 to 3 5 win. The Trojans turned back the invasion of the strong Wheaton (Illinois) College team in the feature thriller of the entire season. Leading 15 to 11 at the half, the fighting Trojans continued to hold their advantage throughout the latter half, winning, 3 3 to 21. Stuart proved to be a big cog in the Trojan machine, holding Moose Lawrence to one basket, with Weaver playing an out- standing game. Taylor defeated Anderson College in a return game on the local hardwood, 39 to 24, but fell before the speedy under-the- Nitiety-fouf tb ? Gem basket attack of a seasoned Valparaiso squad. The Trojans found difficulty in regaining their winning form and experienced a 17 to 21 upset at the hands of the Ball State Frosh. Stephenson ' s stellar playing was a feature of the game. The Purple and Gold men lost in their home tilt against the undefeated Indiana Central Team. The brilliant performance of Howard and Miller was an outstanding feature. The Trojans in a super-speed at- tack led at the half by a 20 to 18 score, but Dejernet ' s brilliant play put the Central men out in the front, outscoring the Tay- lor men 40 to 27. Cornwell ' s men repeated their win over Concordia College by a 36 to 3 score. Tak- ing the lead in the first few minutes of play the Trojans maintained this advantage in both frames. The fine work of Stephen- son, Steedman, and Hamann was an impor- tant factor in the Taylor victory. The Taylor netmen invaded the Forester ' s Camp at Huntington College and tallied a 47 to 18 win. Captain Howard set a new Trojan single game record with a high in- dividual score of 29 points. In the final game of Taylor ' s intercol- legiate season, the Trojans defeated the Ball Staters 3 3 to 19. This game was the last of college competition for Howard, Taylor ' s sensational forward and captain of the Tro- jans. The Purple and Gold combination won 10 and lost 5 of its games for a percentage of .666. With the cooperation of a num- ber of the most outstanding basketball play- ers Taylor has ever known and the consis- tent work of a capable reserve squad, Coach Cornwell has guided the team through a successful season of ideal intercollegiate sportsmanship.

Several promising Freshmen bid well to fill the vacancies left by graduation. Bill Smith, stellar moundsman and an experienced player, assisted Cornwell in the coaching duties. The club soon evi- denced a fine offensive spirit and a well balanced defensive play. In the initial and only outside competition of the fall season the Hart- ford Airdales managed to eke out a 7 to 6 win over the Taylor nine. The Taylor men found difficulty in making adjustments in the initial frames but a barrage of hits in the eighth inning brought the winning margin down to one score. The fall practice games were valuable in determining the team ' s possibilities. The club is rounding out a splendid machine this spring in anticipa- tion of a fine schedule including such fast clubs as the Indiana Central Grayhounds, the Huntingon Foresters, and the Ball State Cardinals. Page Ninety-seven nu £be 6em TENNIS T ast spring the Taylor netters competed against Huntington College to win three matches to two. In a return game Taylor repeated their victory, winning four out of five matches and taking eight of the twelve sets. There were no outside events during the early weeks of this college year but noticeable interest in individual play was shown. During the current spring season the squad is being built around Ralph Long, ex- perienced Junior, Yingling, consistent Sophomore player, and two fresh- men netmen, Hoffman and Linn. Howard, Senior tennis veteran, is assisting in coaching the squad. W4 Page Ninety-eight tb ? 6em TRACK Taylor trackmen opened their first intercollegiate cinder competition last spring with Anderson College on Thompson Field. The per- formance of Stuart and Kidder in the track events and of Persons, Miller, and Herrmann in the field events were important factors in the marginal victory. On May 24th Coach CornwelPs men met their stiff- est competition of the year in a triangle meet at Ball State with the Freshmen of Ball State and Butler University. However the local track- men made a good showing at this event by winning five first and three second positions to score a total of 46 4 points as against 85 for Ball State and 3 1 l i for Butler University. In view of the number of veterans and the promising Freshmen track- men who have reported for practice Coach Cornwell anticipates another successful year on the cinder path. The major competition this spring will be an Invitational Meet at Taylor on May 12 and the Little State Meet on May 19 at Richmond, Indiana — both too late for this year ' s Gem. We can only express our best wishes for our entrants in these meets. Page Ninety-nine 1934 Cbe 6cm First Rou (Left to Right): Duckwall, Gates, Howard, Hunter, Kidder, Lewis. Second Row (Left to right): Miller, Persons, Stuart, Smith, Stephenson, Weaver. THE T CLUB The T Club is composed of all men who have received the Varsity T . Their purpose is to aid in the development of the athletic program by serving as an advisory board to Coach Cornwell and assisting in the administration of the department ' s program. Owing to full schedules the members of the club find it inconvenient to meet regularly, but are often consulted informally as the need arises. The members of this group have demonstrated, throughout the year, their desire to instill in the minds of each member of the student body the ambition to seek the fullest possible development of athletic abilities and to perpetuate the highest type of Christian sportsmanship. W4 Page Otic Hundred Cb ? Gem INTRAMURAL 1934 tbe 6cm MEN ' S CLASS WINNERS Qne of the interesting athletic events of the year was the men ' s class basketball tourney. Seemingly class loyalty and quality of playing were in evidence more than ever before. Fired by the possibility of winning their third consecutive class tourney, the Juniors set a fast pace in the first stages of the tournament. They were followed by a deter- mined Freshmen quintet who bid well to overtake them before the finals. The Sophomores and Seniors battled in rather erratic but enjoyable basketball to determine who was to inhabit the cellar regions. However, they gave the leading teams some close competition. The Seniors held the leading Junior team to a one-point margin in a 10 to 1 1 win and the Sophomores loomed up as sinister contenders in a 2 8 to 17 point game with the third year men. In the final game as a result of the superior playing of the Freshmen, the Juniors were pushed to the limit to win in the last two minutes of play by a 10 to 15 score. Stephenson led the tourney in individual score with a total of 3 3 points. I9S4 Page Onc-hundrcJ-two Cb fatn WOMEN ' S CLASS WINNERS Ane of the features of the current basketball season was the women ' s annual class tournament. It was characterized throughout by fine team play and excellent class spirit. For the third straight year the girls of the class of ' 34 defeated the field of class contestants and won the coveted trophy proclaiming them as Class Champions. This seasoned Senior team was stopped, however, in its drive for a perfect average by a determined Sophomore quintet. A win for the Seniors would have thereupon clinched the championship but the Sophs continued the play by tallying a 28-to-19 victory. This was the first loss for the Senior girls ' team since their Freshman year. In the first round the Junior girls outplayed all of the teams except- ing the four-year squad, losing to them by a top-heavy score of 44 to 12. However, a hard-fighting Freshman team came into the fore-front in the remaining games and the finals found them holding second place in the tourney averages. Gilmore, senior star, won all-team honors at the forward position with an average of 22 points per game.

Young p eople seeking enlargement and enrichment of life and personality for its own sake or for greater and more efficient service wherever they may be called to serve, will find opportunity here in class room, in the extra- curricular activities, and in the general life of the school, for the realization of these ideals. In Taylor the individual is not lost in the multitudes. A democratic spirit prevails among the students, and a fine fellowship characterizes the life on the campus. A happy, interesting social life is maintained, free from tobacco and cigarettes, alcoholic liquors, and the dance.
