DR. JOHN WILKINSON TAYLOR Although the 1950 Thoroughbred is dedicated officially to the students of our University it is just as much dedicated and indebted to our energetic and popular young president, Dr. John Wilkinson Taylor. He has helped us with the execution of the blanket charge plan and the necessary further financing of the book and the compiling of information to accurately picture and record our University as it is in 1950. We, the students, realize that our University would not be what it is today without Dr. Taylor. The 1950 Thoroughbred staff respectfully salutes our President. Dr. Taylor received his Bachelor of Arts from Teachers College, Columbia University in 1929 and was granted his Master of Arts degree in 1930 and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1936 from the same institution. Before receiving his Doctor's degree, he studied at the Universities of Berlin, Paris, Vienna, and London.
