J4 fmream oming rue Taylor University has through the years been characterized by a steady development and growth. Where once a single building in Fort Wayne, Indiana composed her physif cal plant, it now consists of eight permanent brick buildings including the presidents home. These are comfortably arranged on a forty acre campus at the edge of Upland, Indiana. As the Lord blessed, the student body steadily grew and the need of further facilities became increasingly evident. lt was with such conditions prevailing that the Centennial Building Program was set up and organized, with its immediate objective being the erec' tion ofthe Ayres Memorial Library. As the details were being cared for, our nation was suddenly involved in war. Although the actual building process is postponed, plans are continuing to be laid with undiminished zeal and all possible preparations are being com- pleted. Pledges and donations toward this building fund are coming to us in our daily mails. As administration, students, alumni, and friends, we prayerfully await the day when the flag of truce will fly the battle rocked skies, and Taylor can equip herself more com- pletely to meet the challenge of a new era through the agency of her excellently trained, Christ inspired youth.
