The Alumni Association, through its board of directors, is planning to make Alumni day this year the best ever. Our present plan is for the fore part of the afternoon on Monday, May 31, to be given over to pleasant associa­ tions and visiting among the Alumni. Our business meeting will begin at 3:30 P. M. sharp. The banquet will be held at 6 o'clock, and this will be followed in the evening by an Alumni talent program. We are contacting a number of talented Alumni who are outstand­ ing either in the musical field or as readers, etc., during the student days, and we hope to work out a very interesting program for that evening. We are urging all the Alumni and former students who can possibly attend this Alumni day program to do their best to be HELENA MEMORIAL MUSIC HALL, the home of Taylor there.

QnS^ectioe Christian

Taylor University offers an ideal situation for the orienting of both groups, the minister and the laymen, getting them ready for their future relationships.

Taylor University is non-sectarian and is definitely interdenominational working to train its students to be loyal to their own groups, better in body, mind, and soul than when they came.

This institution is definitely committed to the cause of Evangelical Christianity and to the Wesleyan interpretation, and emphasis of the doctrine of grace; there are no isms to be fostered. Extremes are discouraged, but a well rounded Christian experience and training are idealized and sought.

The above is a photographic picture of the large map which hung on the platform in the Maytag Gymnasium during Taylor University's Fourth Annual Youth Con­ ference. The streamers leading out from the home base, Taylor University, Upland, Indiana, mark the places to which our Graduates have gone to carry the Gospel. Taylor is world wide in her missionary zeal and has missionaries and teachers in at least fifteen foreign countries. The School has a vision of world evangelism which has been handed down to her from Bishop William Taylor. President Robert Lee Stuart, in a recent bulletin, stated, "No institution named after Bishop William Taylor can become local or provincial. Taylor University has a world wide family. Her graduates circle the globe. Scores of young people on Taylor's campus now are getting ready to answer the commission of the Master, 'Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel.'"
