lifl[rffftoAiiiiiBii Bishop Taylor honored through University The story of Taylor University begins back in 1846 with the Fort Wayne Female College. This institu- tion, the college that cares for the soul, headed by Dr. Alexander C. Huestis, enrolled one hundred students in the primary, academic and collegiate departments in the first year. In 1850 young men were admitted in a separate department, called the Collegiate Institute in 1853, which remained a dis- tinct institution until 1855. By that year a great demand for higher education in the protestant religious faith for both sexes, stimulated by the re- turn of so many young soldiers from the Mexican War, resulted in the consolidation of the Female College and the Collegiate Institute to form what was designated the Fort Wayne College.

It was sold to the National Association of Local Preachers of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The new owners sity. Bishop William Taylor, at that time a preacher of world-wide fame, was the only man who had ever been elevated from the Laity — the ranks of the Local Preachers — to the high office of Bishop of the Methodist Church. The National As- sociation sought to honor his Spirit-filled life, as well as his ecclesiastical accomplishments, by giving his name to their university.
