ROBERT LEE STUART, Ph.B., D.D. Oi PfieUde4d The President of Taylor University must be a man of great vision and decisive action. These war years have increased the responsibilities that rest upon his shoulders and have made even more difficult the perplexing problems of admin- istration. During this time the President ' s leadership has given every evidence of sacrificial service and of whole hearted devotion to a trying task. It has been made possible only by the great vision which he has had for the future of our school. Dr. Stuart has led Taylor University through fourteen of the most crucial years of her history, and has brought her to the threshold of the centennial year with bright prospects for the future. As he retires from an active administrative con- nection with the institution we gratefully recognize his splendid service and express our appreciation of the contribution he has made to the life of our school.

BURT W. AYRES, A.M., Ph.D., LL.D. 1897-1906: 1910 Profes sor of Philosophy Taylor University, B.S.; A.M.; Ph.D.: LL.D. Ou Vice, P ie ude They who have been privileged to be taught by Dr. B. W. Ayres, feel that of him God has sliaped a beautiful life. His many fruitful years have inspired stu- dents to live sturdy Christian lives and to stand against all forms of opposition to Eternal Truth. Dr. Ayres, in spite of his knowledge in almost every field, feels the depths of God ' s love and inexplicable goodness to man as few do. Perhaps his accomplishments in influencing life have been only dimly visible to him, yet they who have gained his attitudes feel a strong determination to go out and build tlie Kingdom of God. 10
