THE PRESIDENT T196 Prenklenti Menage T0 the Class of 1952: In the fall of 1948, 402 freshmen, endowed by nature and by nurture with superior qualifications, entered the Mississippi State College for Women. Of this number you, the 166 prospective graduates in 1952, ex- emplify the survival of the fittest. In these four years, you have continued your growth in scholarship, in character, in leadership, in unselfish co- operation, and in those traits and attributes which constitute personal charm. You have made friends for yourselves among students and fac- ulty alike. You have proven yourselves to be trustworthy, dependable, and loyal to the principles of truth and honor for which your college stands. You are the worthy heirs of sixty-eight years of cumulative im- provement in your Alma Materis curriculum, faculty, instruction, guid- ance, administration, physical and social environment, student activities, aesthetics, and accreditment. Your way of life among us attests the superior quality of your campus citizenship and foreshadows what society may expect of you in the world beyond your campus domain. Those of us who have witnessed your development as students for the last four years are convinced that the investment which has been made in your education will pay large dividends, both in your enriched indi- vidual personalities and in the days to come in your service to home, to church, and to state. You are the twentieth graduating class to whom I have had the honor and the privilege of addressing a message for use in MEH LADY. In these twenty classes, 3,826 students, or more than half of all of the degree graduates of the college since it was founded in 1884, have received their baccalaureate degrees and yet none of these twenty classes have been held in higher regard than has the Class of 1952. As you go to your respective stations in life, you take with you our ap- preciation of your excellence of character and our warmest affection for you as individuals. Our keenest interest in your welfare and our prayers for your happiness and success go with you. As a guide to your pathway through life, we commend to you this quotation from Proverbs 3:6-JlIn all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths? Sincerely yours, B. L. PARKINSON, President. B. L. PA RKINSON
