Taylor, Pro- fessor at Colby College, Has Never Missed More Than Few Days Teach- ing Favorite Subject Waterville, Me., July 11.--Is gixty-three years continuous ser- vice teaching Latin in one cecl- lege a world's record? That is the question which the trustees of Colby College want answered as they relieve from further res- ponsibility Dr. Julian D, Taylor, who in his eighty-sixth year, is still vigorous and interested in life, Latin, boys and girls, and business. Dr. Taylor's career has been rather unique in that he gradu- ated from Colby himself, has never taught anywhere but at his Alma Mater, has never taken time out of the academic year, hae missed only a few days teach- ing in all these long years, and during the entire period he has taught no subject other than La- tin. Although this teacher of Virgil must, of necessity, be classed pri- marily as a college professor, it is interesting to note that he is a keen student of contemporary business conditions, and besides having built up a personal for- tune of a considerable sum, he also holds the responsible posi- tion of vice-president of one of the local banks. He is strongly against the changes being made in the curric- ulum of many eastern colleges, whereby Latin is being dropped entirely or placed on the elective list. "Latin helps you in guess- ivg," he says. 'The whole busi- ness of life is guessing. We have to guess when this depression will end; we have to guess what investments to make. A man can stuff his brains with knowl- edge dnd not have power. Knowl- edge is not power. Judgment is power. I don't believe any other study develops this power of judgment in the same degree as Latin." Dr. Taylor expects to continue to teach some advanced Latin. His spare time he expects to de- vote to the aiding in the solu- tion of the financing of new Col- lege buildings. The man who can becaome vice-president of a bank on a professor's salary is believed to have great financial ability. Meanwhile the professor and the coilege trustees are anxiously swaiting to see if anyone will contest with him for the world's record in the teaching of college Latin, Some people refuse to save for a rainy day and yet will put some thing by for a wet night, A correspondent wants to know what is the best thing to take when run down.
