A MESSAGE A om DR. S N AV ELY The College Annual should give as complete a picture as possible of the college as it appears during the year that the annual is issued. From the several conferences I have been accorded by the editors of La Revue I believe they are this year making a special attempt to give such a picture in a very complete fashion. In addition to the pictures and student records that will be dis- played, I should like to add some of the intangibles. Foremost are the results of the scholarly efforts of our loyal and enthusiastic faculty Books have been published during the year by Dr. Walter B. Posey, Dr. Emory Q. Hawk, and Dr. Henry T. Shanks. A brochure on the life of Julia Tutwiler by Dean Eoline Wallace Moore has received much favorable comment. An address on The College Book Store was delivered by Bursar N. M. Yeilding at the annual meeting of the Southern College Buyers ' Association. Most noteworthy is the contribution of twenty thousand dollars by the General Education Board of New York to build and equip with proper shelving five tiers of book stacks at the rear of the M. Paul Phillips Library. The French Government paid a distinct compliment to the Col- lege in making Professor Constans an Officer d ' Academie. Dr. Matthews has added lustre to the fame of his Alma Mater by his study in Palestine as beneficiary of the Newman Scholarship Fund. The division of the curriculum into LJpper and Lower Divisions, as well as a change in the marking system, indicate other forward steps. • PAGE 13 •
