MRS. MARY B. STONE Mrs. Mary B. Stone, Associate Professor of English, and for many years Dean of Women at Millsaps College, died on December 19. 1956. Mrs. Stone was a graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman ' s College where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree. From George Peabody College in Nash- ville, she received her Master of Arts degree in English in 192S. She came to Millsaps College in 1931 as Dean of Women, and as a member of the Depart- ment of English. She served as Dean at Millsaps until 1952. After that date, she devoted her full time to teaching. Her students of many generations testify to her gracious manner, her scholarship, and her sympathetic interest in their educational growth. Her President says of her that she was known and admired by students and faculty alike for her devotion to high principles, her strength of conviction, her intolerance of mediocrity, her impatience with slothfulness, and her insist- ence on excellence. Her refreshing frankness and her pointed observations on any matter under consideration will be missed. Mrs. stone was a person of wide learning and of keenly intelligent mind. Her genuineness won the love of many and the respect of all. She was frank and honest in expressing her opinions, and impatient of all unreality and pre- tense. Her many friends found her unfailingly generous and loyal. She was a person of integrity, and of great strength of will. Knowing full well the precarious state of her health, she refused to husband her waning strength. She was careless of the prospect of death, and chose to live full - and usefully to the very end. At eleven o ' clock on the final day of recitations before the Christmas holidays, she taught her last class. Before that hour next day she was dead. Her brave and independent spirit had dreaded helplessness and dependence far more than death. I am sure it was as she would have wished it.
