  Scrapbook (1938-1940)

  Taylor University

  Student scrapbook, covering the years 1938 through 1940. The most commonly photographed person appears to be Gwendolyn Ruth Niebel, and it is most probable the scrapbook belonged to her. She was a student from 1937-1940 and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Education. Her hometown was Dunkirk, New York. She was an active part of the Cheerleading Team, belonged to the Philalethean Literary Society, Mnanka Debate Club, Vesper Choir, and Education Club.

  Scrapbook (1909-1941)

  Taylor University

  Scrapbook of clippings from various Taylor University publications and other unknown publications. From the order of the clippings it appears the book was assembled starting in 1937 and ending in 1941. Clippings date from 1909 through 1941. Due to the nature of materials gathered it appears that the creator of the scrapbook had a fondness for poetry and cared deeply about Taylor’s history and missionary work.

  Photographs (1935)

  Taylor University

  A scrapbook of photographs from the 1934-1935 academic year at Taylor University. There are no formal photographs, they are mostly from student activities and events including Youth Conference and Abraham Lincoln's birthday celebration, as well as pictures from around campus.

  The album is not dated, however, photographs all match the 1934-1935 academic year and events detailed in the 1935 Gem.

  Scrapbook (1930)

  Taylor University

  Scrapbook contains clippings from University Publications of campus and specific campus buildings. Each image is numbered and all are organized in sections. The images appear to be from various eras, but are probably 1930 or later due to the presence of Maytag Gymnasium. The creator of the scrapbook is unknown.

  Scrapbook (1928-1930)

  Taylor University

  Scrapbook made by Taylor University Student Lucille M. Jones during 1928 through her senior year in 1930. It is a themed scrapbook, formatted under the title “Friendship Memories of School Days” and contains various sections dedicated to specific parts of the academic experience. The scrapbook contains various clippings from Taylor University Publications as well as various mementos and souvenirs taken from campus events. It appears she started the book in 1928 on later pages, ran out of room, and put some of her senior year mementos at the front. Due to the non linear dates on certain pages it can be assumed that she went back and fitted items onto older pages when she ran out of new pages.

  Scrapbook (1926)

  Taylor University

  Scrapbook by unknown author features mostly photos from the 1926 yearbook. Unlike other scrapbooks these are photographs rather than clippings from University publications. It does not contain all the yearbook’s photos, but was probably assembled by someone who worked with the yearbook or had access to the negatives.

  One formal photograph (with people seated) appears to be a fraction of the Expression department. Perhaps related to English.

  Scrapbook (1926)

  Taylor University

  Scrapbook filled with pictures of campus views of Taylor University. It was presented as gift to unknown recipient, probably a member of the faculty or staff. The presenters of the gift include: Clair J. Snell, Gertrude Wamsley, Wayne York, Melvina Gleason, Robert Clark, Iva Hawkins, Hazel Chamberlain, Gertrude Jackson, Lila Hardenbrook, Edna Callahan, Marcius Taber, and Deane Irish.

  It was probably presented in 1926, as it is the only year they were all present at the University as students. (They were also present in 1925 with the exception of Wayne York who was still in high school and interacted with the University through a special debate.) It is unclear who and what connected these students. Two possibilities are departments of study or student organizations/club. After the title page there is a photograph of a group of students dressed (as it appears) as banquet serving staff, as was common for certain literary society events.

  Scrapbook (1924-1925)

  Taylor University

  “This book was given to Taylor University Archives by Ross J. Mc Lennan, a Taylor graduate who had been in Dr. George Evan’s classes. Dr. George Evans is the father of Dr. Harlowe Evans, who taught at Taylor and also served on the Board of Trustees.” -acquisition note

  McLennan entered Taylor in 1937 as a Freshman. He worked in the library and also repaired shoes for people on campus. It is not clear why he has a scrapbook with images from the year 1925. The scrapbook features photos found in the yearbook, so it is possible that he either assembled it with old photos after the date, or (which is more probable) acquired the scrapbook from a previous student or faculty member. The creator was probably tied to the Mnanka debate club, as it is the group most featured in the book./p>

  Scrapbook (1915)

  Taylor University

  Loose pages from an unknown scrapbook. Most photographs are of students, faculty, and families. Donated by Charles Jennings, a 1925 graduate. He may have assembled the photos from various years previous to his time as a student, though it is more probable that a student at the time assembled the pages. There are no names or labels on any of the pictures.

  This scrapbook features an enormous collection of programs from campus events at Taylor University from 1907-1935. In addition, it contains several articles of interest from various University Publications, but also includes publications from student organizations such as the literary societies.
