Excerpt from The Gem, 1901

Many events of importance to the University mark the period that has intervened since the publication of the '98 Gem. The increased attendance at the colleges and universities of this country during the past two years, ac counted for, no doubt, by the fact that the desire for an advanced education has been stimulated during the closing years of the nineteenth century by the increasing zeal and earnestness manifested in scientific research and the general advance observed in all institutions of learning, has nowhere been more manifest than in Taylor University. New theories have been-advanced, new methods have been put in operation, and many errors deeply buried un der the obsolete investigations of the past have been disclosed. The best methods of teaching - not only giving abundance of facts, but also stimulat ing the desire for personal research - have been adopted. While Taylor has kept to the front in educational lines, yet the knowledge that an educated intellect alone is detrimental to the possessor and the world in general, un less backed by a character worthy of emulation, has been so'riveted upon the minds and hearts of the management of the University, that equal attention is given to the development of the higher, the spiritual nature of her stu dents. As trees are to be judged by their fruits, so colleges must be judged, not by their buildings and equipment, but by the men and women who go out from under the fostering care of their Alma Mater.

While the University has made rapid progress along educational lines, many new improvements have been made in the buildings. The first ¿oor of maria-wright Hall, has been finished, furnishing commodius quarters for our Business Department. The Library, which, until recently, occupied a room on the north side of the building, now occupies the old chapel, and chapel services are now conducted in the large and spacious hall which has been completed and furnished by the kindness of friends. A Ladies' Dormi tory and Dining Hall have been added to the number of buildings, and on the lots surrounding the campus many new buildings and residences have been erected for the accommodation of the teachers and students.
