He was a 1902 graduate of Yale University.
Notes from 1912
Born February 26, 1879, in Manchester, Conn., the son of Frank Smith Taylor, a builder, and Mary (Avery) Taylor (died in September, 1888). He is of English descent. A cousin, Walter Allen Sadd, was graduated at the Sheffield Scientific School in the Class of 1884.
Prepared at the Hartford (Conn.) Public High School. He entered Yale in September, 1897, but graduated with 1902 as he was not in college during 1900-01. He received the Hurlbut scholarship and a Berkeley premium in Latin compo sition, high oration appointments both Junior and Senior years and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
He married on August 19, 1905, in Cleveland, Ohio, Wilhelmine Catherine Klostermeier, a graduate of the Cleveland Normal School, daughter of Henry J. Klostermeier, a builder,of Marietta, Ohio. They have two children, both born in Indianapolis, Ind. : Paul Howard, born June 21, 1906, and Louise Wilhelmine, born April 29, 1910.
On graduation he spent one year in business, but in the fall of 1903 gave this up for teaching. He took graduate work in the University of Chicago and since 1905 has taught Latin in Indianapolis, Ind., at the Shortridge High School.
He received the degree of M.A. from the University of Chicago in 1906. He is a Congregationalist but is now a member of the Presbyterian Church.
Frank writes as follows, giving at the end some valuable educational queries: ' ' I spent six months in finding out what to do, one year in finding out what not to do, a year in getting ready to do what I had originally intended to do, and seven years in doing it. I am now teaching Latin in the Shortridge High School here. The first six months I spent in Hartford, learning the manufacture of leather belting from the sub-cellar up. This was good training for the olfactory nerve, as anyone who has worked in a belting factory can testify! I spent a year in Cleveland, Ohio, for the company, and followed that by a trip to Europe. It was the grand old ruins of the 'Eternal City' that revived my former interest in classical studies. I decided to become a teacher. On the Midway in the 'Windy City' I spent more than a year in the study of the classics and received my M.A. degree from the University of Chicago. My next degree was that of 'Benedict.' Since 1905 I have been in Indianapolis, helping to keep two supposed corpses alive. One is Greek. I fear that its last day is near at hand. The
other is Latin. It is a very lively corpse.
"My ambition has been, and is, to be a teacher. I wonder what we think of the 'elective system' as we look back over the ten years. I, for one, have my doubts. I hope we may get back to the solid educational foundations and give up the 'fads and frills.' "
