I K M i ■ : i - imp tj i pj|H NEW LIBRARY The Centennial celebration in June will include the breaking of ground for the new library. This project will insure Taylor ' s maximum ability to serve adequately as it launches into its second century of service. As Taylor looks to the future, it sees the necessity of expansion. More young people than ever before from among the high school students are de- termined to go on to college. The war has brought about definite trends toward a greater demand for college-trained young people. Several veterans are en- rolled in Taylor now under the G. I. bill, and many others are expected to- register next year. The immediate construction of the library is of the utmost importance. The- goals in the matter of Taylor University ' s full accreditation are inseparably tied in with this project. An architect has been engaged. He is Mr. Le Roy Bradley from Forf Wayne, Indiana. The completion of the Ayres Memorial Library marks a stepping stone in the growth of Taylor University.
