The Governor of Mississippi The Honorable Hugh L. White Governor Hugh L. White is a true son of Ole Miss. While at: the University as a student, he was a m ember of the Rebel Football squad.

Governor White realizes the need for a well-rounded development of the state, and, as governor, he has endeavored to promote our state in every phase of development edu- cational, industrial, agricultural, recreational, and political.

J. D. WILLIAMS Your fellow students have worked dilligently and skillfully to assemble in this Ole Miss of 1955 many of the scenes, the situations, the occasions, the descriptions, the quotations, and expositions in such sequence and relation so as to capture the spirit of this year. The University of Mississippi is part of you now, and we hope that it always serves you well. One of the pleasant ways it can serve you at your will is through this Ole Miss. Look through it from time to time and be interested and amused at the change of perspective, of values, of understanding you note in yourself as you grow older. Observe, too, one element remains constant—the great spirit of achievement, integrity, friendliness, and service that is characteristic of this great institution. I shall cherish this volume, review it carefully in the years ahead, watch your progress, and recall the fun we have had this year working together. Good health and good fortune to each of you. J. D. WILLIAMS, Chancellor Chancellor of the University
