HHIIIIIISIHIIIIHN A CENTENNIAL MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR-Now is lhe lime for us. The Universily ol Mississippi is in ils IOOlh year. Whal people lhink ol lhe Universily, whal il aclually is, whal il is lo be are man-made. For a hundred years lhe Universily has represenled lhe hopes, lhe ambilions, lhe failh, lhe slriving ol lhe people ol a greal slale lhal lhrough educalion would come beller Ieaders and lhrough beller leadership would come beller condilions of Iiving-bolh spirilual and malerial. Throughoul lhe pasl cenlury as each succeeding lall lerm began, parenls have bid goodbye lo lheir sons and daughlers who were lo enroll al lhe Universily. These young men and women were breaking home lies lor lhe lirsl lime. Each wilh a song in his hearl and a spiril of advenlure in his veins fell lhe urge lo conquer new worlds. He looked lo lhe Universily lo furnish him his know- how. Throughoul lhe pasl cenlury, as each succeeding fall lerm began, former sludenls relurned lo con- linue work of lhe year before, lo renew friendships, and lo lhink more seriously upon plans for lhe days and years lollowing gradualion. As gradualion approached, some had 'Found a Iile parlner. Afler gradualion and a lew monlhs ol saving, anolher wedding was solemnized and anolher Ole Miss family was added lo lhe ever increasing rosler. The Universily is so inlerwoven wilh lhe Iile ol lhe people ol Mississippi lhal nolhing can happen lo one lhal does nol allecl lhe olher. In every communily, in every neighborhood, in every parl ol Mississippi are subslanlial homes and lamiiies ol characler lhal represenl lhe work of lhe Universily and demonslrale ils influence. In public office, in learned professions, in channels ol business many leaders received lheir educalion, lheir inspiralion, lheir conceplion ol vocalional elhics al lhe Uni- versily. Ole Miss is more lhan campus, buildings, and lhe sladium. Primarily, il is a spiril-a spiril lhal il loook a hundred years lo build, a robusl and courageous spiril, yel genleel and sell-conlrolledg a spiril lhal demands lhe free flow ol ideas, lreedom ol expression, and lhe acceplance ol lull re- sponsibilily lor beliefs honeslly held: a spiril of unily among all Ole Miss men and women lhal conlinues as Iong as Iile ilsell. This spiril' is perhaps lhe mosl valuable assel lhe Universily has. You and I have inheriled lhis spiril buill by generalions now gone. Lel us brealhe deeply of il lhal we may be lrue lo lhe linesl lradilions ol democracy and Chrislianily. Now is lhe lime for us by our lhoughls and our deeds lo slrenglhen and build lhe Ole Miss spiril so lhal we may be lrue lo lhose who have preceded us and may make our lull conlribulion lo lhe generalions lo follow. Now is lhe lime lor us. O GOVERNOR FIELDING WRIGHT, Presidenl Ex-Officio, , . . , ,... . . Jackson MARTIN V. 8, MILLER, Proxidenf . , , . . ..... Meridian RANSOM E.
