Camp, who wasrecently made Vice President inCharge of Development at Taylor,was for 28 years a Methodist minis ter.

Healso believes that funds can be ob tained to build the new buildings sobadly needed. "I came to the work,not knowing where to start, nor howthe work could possibly be accom plished. I have always trusted thepromise, 'not by might, nor by power,but by my spirit, saith the Lord.' Bytrusting God and by making contactwith His people, I expect to accom plish the goals we have set up."Mr. Camp's faith has been vindi cated by several large gifts, for thebuilding program. "Of the gifts Ihave received, I especially appreciateone from a member of the faculty,who handed me several hundred dol lars to be used in day to day expendi tures", he said. "We are praying thatGod will move upon the minds offriends of Taylor to give us moneywe need to do His work", said Mr.Camp. "We believe that many willhear the call and answer."Two Taylor professors have re ceived doctor's degrees at the startof the 1955-56 college year. WilliamGreen, Dean of Students, receivedan Ed.

Homecoming . . . a TimeFor MemoriesTallest Trojan TeamTo Be Introduced inBout with Alumniby Fran and Lloyd Willert '48Middlebury, Ind.Who can escape the mingledemotions that gather as you alightfrom the automobile and set foot up on Taylor's beautiful campus? Home coming Day afforded many alumniand friends that opportunity to re new contact in a visible way with theschoM they "love and honor". It wasa privilege to be one of that group.Our first view of the campus thatday gave evidence of plenty of activ ity. Students were seen hurryingabout to fulfill their responsibilitiesin order to make the day a success;faculty members seemed pleasedover the well mannered enthusiasmof the students but perhaps won dered how things would be in classon Monday; hand shaking alumnigreeted "old" friends with an oc casional reminiscence of their stu dent days, while happy parentsstrolled on the campus with theirprogeny, confident that Taylor wouldprovide the proper training for theirson or daughter.An hour spent in the AlumniWorkshop afforded us valuable in formation concerning the AlumniEund plans for this year. It was ajoy to see the competent leadershipwhich our Alumni Association has inthis program and a challenge to real ize that the success of the entire ef fort rests upon each alumnus, myselfincluded.A reminder came to us that weare "Building For Tomorrow" as wenoticed the campus displays erectedon that theme by various student organizations. We must not betraythe trust of those students at Taylorwho look to us for help in this theirperiod of building.The scene was quickly changed to one of excitement and expectancy.The two football teams were alreadyon the field and enthusiastic patrons"were streaming through the gates toget a glimpse of the Taylor Trojansin action. Some considerate studentsfinally convinced an otherwise studi ous classmate that he should see the.game. His entrance onto the field,on the shoulders of his "friends"Brought a thunderous ovation fromthe bleachers.Then, silence filled the air, as avoice was heard to say, "We will beled in prayer before the game byRev. Milton Persons, President ofthe Alumni Association." With bowedBeads, players and spectators alikesought the blessings of God upon theactivities of the afternoon. What athrill it was to sense the spirit ofthat moment of prayer, out there onthe football field.Inspired by the cries of "Fight'Team, Fight", the Trojans marchedto two quick touchdowns only tofind themselves overtaken by a re vived Earlham team, 20-19. Even intasting defeat, as difficult as thatwas for all, one felt on Taylor's cam pus the spirit of love toward thosewho had been victorious.Homecoming QueenElizabeth Galloway, Redding,Iowa, JuniorOnly one who was completely ob livious to aesthetic qualities couldfail to mention the poise and charmof the Homecoming Queen candi dates. Each of them was a queen inher own right."Operation Recreation", the stu dent sponsored recreational areawest of the dormitories, was thescene Of a dedication service follow ing the football contest. This areareceived added interest as trays ofbarbecue with all the trimmingsstarted to arrive from the collegekitchen. The open air cafeteria wasa bee-hive of activity as hungry cus tomers edged their way along theline. Sitting next to a young lad whowas thoroughly enjoying his barbe cue, we engaged in conversationabout the game. His main commentwas, "That was my brother who madethat last touchdown."With the lengthening shadows of abeautiful autumn day came the timeof departure for a host of Tayloralumni and friends. For some it wasa day of becoming better acquaintedwith the school in which they haveentrusted the care of a young person.For others it was a time of renewingold acquaintances and refreshingwonderful memories. Memories ofstudy time forgotten in order to havea sundae down at the college store,of agonizing moments spent cram ming for a test, of moments spentwith a certain someone real special,of college friends now servingthroughout the world, of a conse crated faculty and administration,and of devoted and self-sacrificingfolk who are continuing to makeTaylor an effective Christian college.Leaving the campus that nightunder the glow of a beautiful Octo ber moon, we were thankful to theCreator for Taylor University andbreathed a prayer in our hearts thatHis almighty hand would continue tobless and guide the school which is"up beyond the village border".With the return from the serviceof big (6'4", 200 lbs.)
