Our University has grown from a single college in 1848 to its present size of seven schools and one college. The College of Liberal Arts, founded in 1848, was the only institution of higher learning until 1.854 when the School of Law was es- tablished. In 1900, The School of Engineering was founded. Three years later in 1903 The School of Education and The School of Medicine were founded. The School of Pharmacy, founded in 1908, is the only one of its kind in this area. In 1917, The School of Business was founded, and ten years later in 1927 The Graduate School was founded. This year The Carrier Engineering Building was completed, and in September, 1955, the University of Mississippi ' s new four year Medical School will begin classes in Jackson. Truly Ole Miss is a great University with the many fields of higher learning it has to offer its students. Ole Miss is proud of its Deans. and it is with their capable guidance that Ole Miss hopes to reach even higher planes. 25

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
