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. He worked in the field of educational research and as an educator in many varied positions in Europe and America while he was obtaining his Master's and Doctor's degrees and has been a full-time educator since 1936. In 1943, Dr. Taylor was commissioned a Captain in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, Army of the United States, Division of Military Govern- ment of Occupied Countries. He was promoted to Major in 1944, and to Lieutenant Colonel in 1945. He served with Headquarters, North African Theatre of Operations as Assistant Director, then Director of Studies at the Military Government and Holding Center from 1943 to 1944. From 1944 to 1947, he was Chief of the Education and Religious Affairs Branch, OMGUS in Germany. He was one of the builders and organizers who planned and set in motion the program for re-educating the twenty million Germans in the American Zone, in recog- nition of which service he was awarded the Army's Legion of Merit in 1946 and the Chevolier de la Legion d'Honneur in 1949.
