Rich gift God. A year of time. Whittier. The nucleus of Taylor activities is found in the oldest building on the campus, Maria Wright Hall. Here we find our leaders of progress in their offices, formulating and administering plans which are essential for growth and de- velopment. Relics from the past are housed in the museum; the art and speech departments are located on the third floor, and nearly every student has a class in the Ad building at one tim e or another during the week. From the cornerstone which Bishop William Taylor laid in 1890 to the tower, important people are performing important jobs that keep the university wheels running smoothly.

My Christian friends, Again we come to the close of another year at Taylor and rejoice in the many blessings that have been ours. How grateful I am personally, to know and work with our fine student body and our consecrated faculty and staff. Great are our compensations from the hand of God! As we face the unknown tomorrows we do so with con- fidence. We labor cooperatively under the guidance of God in a great work. Let us pray and let us work for the achievement of God ' s best in our individual lives and the collective life of the college. May God ' s best attend your way, each one, in the days and years that lie ahead. Your friend in Christ, Evan H. Bergwall The first couple enjoying the Junior-Senior Banquet.
