S The University of Mississippi has progressed from a single college in 1848, the Col- lege of Liberal Arts, to its present size of seven schools and the one college. The schools in order of their founding are: The School of Law, 1854; the School of Engineering, 1900; The School of Education, 1903; The School of Medicine, 1903; The School of Pharmacy, 1908; The School of Business, 1917; and the Graduate School, 1927. Cer- tainly progress is a sign of future greatness, and due to the more than generous gift of Mr. Robert M. Carrier, formerly of Sardis and now a resident of the University, a $500,000 Engineering building is now being built. Although it will be a loss to our campus, we have pride in our new four year Medical School under construction in Jackson. The building contract calls for completion by December 15, 1954. A student at Ole Miss today has not only the opportunity of specializing in one of many fields, but he can also broaden his cultural outlook through the varied array of course offered in these eight departments. Under the able guidance of our Deans, Ole Miss looks for- ward to continued future expansion.

CHANCELLOR JOHN D. WILLIAMS CILINLEILL. „ Twentieth Century society concerns itself more and more with recording facts and figures about the individual. It records his birth, the facts of his education, his medical history, his memberships in societies, political parties, and other organizations, his military service, and even his opinions on a diversity of tions. The University serves as one of the agencies which keeps records for you. Your grades, your ties, your health your degrees and honors—even your picture are on file at the University while you are a student, and most of this information will remain on file after you graduate. After you leave, the University will continue to be interested in you and will record the significant facts of your career. In the years to come most of you will find it helpful to make use of these records in the custody of the sity. These records, however, fail to reflect the varied and colorful experiences of your student days that have meant so much to you and which will mean even more as the years add vivid hues to the leaves of the tree of life as the autumn period approaches. The OLE MISS of 1954 captures for you the highlights of the year as you have lived it. It can never become a dry, half-forgotten statistical record, for its pictures of your friends, campus scenes, and ganizations, and its narratives in the student vocabulary of the day will bring you pleasant memories and will always renew for you the spirit of these days. It will become a volume in your library whose value will increase with each additional year. For each of you I wish a lifetime of pleasant and reward ing memories of your years at Ole Miss. This volume will serve to keep ever fresh these memories of things past. I shall be continually interested in you, in your career, and in your success as a good neigh bor, a responsible citizen of your community, and as a worthy American.
