Mr. Keller ' s major respon- sibility is to maintain a careful hold on the financial reins of Taylor. He and his staff admin- ister the school budget, handle student loans, and oversee the finances of several student or- ganizations. When he came to Taylor nine- teen years ago, Mr. Keller as- sumed his first position as Pro- fessor of Voice. Today, leading the congregational singing and directing the choir in the Up- land Methodist Church give evidence that he continues his interest in music.
