The photographer was able to catch all of the college buildings as well as many of the faculty residences as he flew over Taylor's beautiful campus.

The first building in the left hand corner is the Maytag Gymnasium, with the large Campbell-Magee-Wisconsin Dormitories next to it.

The heating plant is easily identified and the new Science Building is located directly in front of it.

In the center of the picture on the north side of Reed Avenue is the Swallow Robin Dormitory and the Samuel Morris Hall sets next to it. Across the street is Slicker Hall.

The smaller building, surrounded by trees, houses the book store and the post office as well as a snack bar.

The Administration Building is easily identified by its "tower seen far distant" and the Helena Memorial Music Hall is at the extreme right end of the picture. In the extreme left may be seen a large dwelling which accommodates several students and a house mother.

LOOKING AT OUR FINANCIAL PICTURE FRANKLY Every college president would

like to raise the college endow­ment—whether it is now large or small. He knows that apart from student tuition and fees money must he forthcoming from other sources. The state exacts from its citizens, in taxes, for the ever in­creasing budgets for its state schools and there is a parallel which should be found in the re­lationship between the privately

owned and controlled Christian college and its clientele. When the annual budgets increase, the people who are behind such schools must realize that upon them there falls the added re­sponsibilities of helping to meet these additional expenses. The two most commonly accepted procedures are the increasing of the endowments until a greater revenue from that source pro­

vides the larger amount neces­sary for current budget. Schools that have long been established and have been patronized by wealthy supporters have been successful in many instances in building up formidable amounts for endowment. It need not be true, but in numerous cases it is, that such schools have been sep­arated and alienated from their

WHAT THE ALUMNI ARE DOING In this issue we are publishing the names

of our Alumni over the past 18 years and in­dicating those who have contributed toward the operating expenses during the current fiscal year. Many more will he contributing before June 30, when the year closes, and we propose at that time to publish the list again

and then give the total amount contributed by the Alumni of those particular classes. If you are interested we shall include all of the alumni or at least go back another 15 years.

Inaccuracies and omissions are apologized for in advance. Corrections are welcome.

LOOKING AT OUR FINANCIAL PICTURE FRANKLY

founders. The insured income from a large endowment with a self perpetuating board has made it possible for them to repudiate the ideals and principles of their founders. This is a danger which must be considered; but never­theless the charters and char­acter of the boards and adminis­trators of our full salvation schools render the possibility of a departure from their original moorings quite unlikely. Hence, wills that are drawn up, bequests and annuitancies contracted for in favor of our Christian colleges, which are designed to increase endowments, are to be encour­aged. People interested should rest assured that their invest­ments in Christian character are safely made.

A second procedure is that of the living endowment. In many ways this is even more desir­able—especially while the donor is living. Many times a donor is able to make more' with his cap­ital than a holiness college; be­cause the latter must always guard against any element of risk in investments. Only com­paratively "safe" investments should be made by the trustees of a college whereas a donor may see his way to invest his funds in some new project with even ser­ious possibilities of loss, as a re­sult, while the college may real­ize but 2 or 3 percent the indivi­dual may realize, as much as 15 percent. For this reason a living endowment often results in more to give to the college than the col­lege would realize, if the princi­ple had been left to the Trustees

to invest. Also, the donor has the advantage of an annual check on the school. What he wants to see done on that campus is tied in with his regular support in such a way that his annual gift serves as a reminder for continued loyalties to the traditions and ideals of that school. Every col­lege president who is sincere is willing to have his administra­tion come under that type of careful scrutiny. In these days of declension and compromise it is quite essential that generous donors give a vigilant watch over our holiness colleges lest they too become enmeshed and remove the ancient landmarks set by their fathers. For these reasons we are going to urge our support­ers to consider seriously the ad­vantages of both methods of fi­nancing Taylor University and participate in one or the other.

Many people would love to en­dow Taylor to the extent of $100,000.00, but they do not have any such amount to give. Many schools have blocks of endow­ment that size on interest at no more than 2% which is $2,000.00 per year. There are individual classes of alumni in the ordinary earning brackets who, if they would contribute 2% of their income annually would equal the income of a $100,000.00 endow­ment. 1 would rather have their annual gifts, their prayers, and their solicitous and vital inter­ests in Taylor than a cold chunk of endowment to invest. That is, if I could have my choice. Every institution needs a sizable en­dowment as its backlog of secur­

ity. Hut I am anxious right now to help the alumni and friends of Taylor to see that in these strin­gent times a far happier arrange­ment for them and their school would be an established income from a great group of folks whose living endowment would equal two or three millions of in­vested endowment. At the same time their prayers and vital in­terest are the greatest assurance for the Taylor of tomorrow being what its founders had in mind yesterday.

Our Error Whenever a Bulletin doesn't

reach you, and you have not moved since the Bulletin office was apprised of your address, we feel quite responsible for the fail­ure. It is true, of course, that with second class mail there is a great likelihood of mail not reaching its destination. Particu­larly is this true during certain rush seasons in mail deliveries. Nevertheless we desire to take our share of the blame. But when someone doesn't receive the Bul­letin who has moved and never notified the office here the re­sponsibility can not be laid to our door. It is always disconcerting to me in going around to find someone who should have re­ceived the Bulletin who hasn't been receiving it for some time. I sometimes chide ourselves in our set up here as a result of my questioning further. More often I have wished that the individual had seen his way to drop a line to the office.
