DEDICATION No man is more symbolic of Westminster's progress in edu- cation than is Gilbert H. Taylor, professor of Latin, Greek, and German and Chairman Emeritus of the Department of Ancient Languages. Dr. Taylor has served the college one quarter of its history, coming to Westminster in 1925. During his career he has taught five languages, and all his life he has been a student of countless others ranging from the dialect of the Anglo-Saxons to the talk of the Eskimos. Don't leave here until you've taken at least one course from Doc Taylor, has been the advice that many a senior has passed down to a freshman. Dr. Taylor's popular classes in Greek and Roman history have always been iammed to capacity. After receiving his Bachelor's degree at De Pauw University, Dr. Taylor was a fellow in Latin at the University of Michigan, where he took his doctorate in 1914. He spent two years in Rome as a fellow at the American Academy, and upon his return to the United States was a Johnston Scholar in Latin at Johns Hopkins University for two years. He has also clone work at the University of Berlin. Dr. Taylor is one who makes much of his leisure time. What time is not spent in language study is given to his favorite sport, chess, and the Taylors' pet cat, Catus Hogus, whose box occupies a spot near the Taylors' front door. Dr. and Mrs. Taylor relax each summer at Vinal Haven in Maine. To this man, whose life has become a symbol of scholarship, we dedicate this book. 4

It is the duty of the yearbook to depict the life of a college during the year. In this, the Centennial Argo, we have also looked into the years which have gone before us. Our work has not been complete, because we have been hampered by barriers of both time and money. The casual reader will quickly notice that we have deleted material which is usually found in annuals. He will also notice that we have included material which is not conventional. We have made these alterations in order to present what we believe is a clearer picture of college life. ' We hope that you will enioy this book, and that the hours spent with it will recall fond memories of your college. , 6
