COVER: Few, if any, in Taylor's history have wielded so great an influence in so short a time as Sammy Morris. His contributions to Taylor's heritage and

history are so remarkable that the memory of his influence is being rekindled in these pages through an article by Barbara Stedman. This story also reaffirms Taylor's steadfast adherence to the Christ-centered, Biblical faith that empow- ered Sammy and has energized a host of alumni since those early days in Fort Wayne.

Taylor^s arm of hope reaches to Ethiopia and allows three students without support to enroll entirely on a faith basis.

Ethiopia is a communist nation. It undeiuoent a political revolution in 1974 and is now ruled by the military. Why anyone would want to leave for a while goes without saying, hut how anyone would gain permission to do so is another matter. Hanna and Kidan Alemishat and Mahedere Mulgeta knew they wanted to study in the United States, but that meant a long, difficult process of filling out government forms, being scrutinized and approved by the government, and finding a host institution here. They made it through the first two steps,

Taylor University Magazine /Spring-Summer 1984 J SAMMY

Nearly 100 years ago, a Taylor president extended a hand of faith to a young African who had no money, only a fiery desire to learn about the Holy Spirit. Taylor University has felt the indelible effect of that young man's life —and death —ever since.

by Barbara Stedman '80

O Taylor University Magazine/ Spring-Summer 1984 Everyone associated with Taylor University is supposed to know all about the story of Sammy Morris, but the details have become increasingly sketchy in our minds as the years have passed. Even most of the 170 who live in the Sammy Morris residence hall know little about the life of the man whose name their home proudly bears.

This story is too important to file away in the history annals, though; it's time for a refresher course in Sammy
