MLM-4 rfo. frrlm 1-was then hat Our Patrons .ave to Say Independence, Mo. To Whom It May Concern: r Dr. Z. M. Williams, President of Central College for Women at Lexington, Mo., is the best qualified man for this place that I know of. His high Christian character and intellectual ability especially fit him for this position. This institution surely is under the right manage- ment while in the care of Dr. and Mrs. Williams. There is no college for women in the west that is better and more suitable to which we may send our daughters than Central. My daughter, who recently graduated there, thinks there is no other place as good. I can cheerfully. recommend this college to anyone who , has girls to educate and train, as being a safe institution to send them. Yours very truly, E. E. AXLINE, Ex-Judge Jackson County. Lincoln, Mo. Dr. Z. M. Williams, Lexington, Mo. . Dear Mrq Williams: With pleasure I commend you for the thorough teaching and training my daughter Faye received in your school, and feel that the money spent for her education in your college willprove a profitable investment from a higher than money consideration. If I had another daughter to be educated, I would not think of sending her to any other than Central College. ' Sincerely yours, FRED BRILL, Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. Z. M. Williams, Lexington, Mo. Dear Doctor: I am taking this opportunity to express to you my thanks, and congratulate you upon being at the head of such a splendid school that is doing so much for the Young Women in this country today. Certainly you have everything that could be desired in a school of this kind, and you would certainly have more than a capacity attendance if the people generally knew Central and its splendid president and efficient corps of teachers as we, the patrons, do. Trusting your good work may continue and that you and your good wife continue to have the care of Central and the supervision over our daughters for many, many years to come, I remain, Yours very truly. A. P. OSBORN, Gen'l Manager Royal Union Mutual Life. Jefferson City, Mo. Dr. Z. M. VVi1liams, Lexington, Mo. My Dear Doctor: I have had many pleasant thoughts of Central College, where my two girls, especially my oldest daughter, Nellie, were under your care. She is now married and is happy, and has made a model woman, all of which I attribute to the careful training she received at your hands while under your care. I cannot find words enough to express my appreciation and my opinion of Central College. The only regret I have is that my youngest daughter could not finish her education but was compelled to leave school on account of her failing health. Any time I can be of service to you, command me. Yours respectfully, E. P. DEAL, State Treasurer. M. HM. Sunnyside, Virginia. Dr. Z. M. Williams, Lexington, Mo. Dear Dr.: It affords me great pleasure to heartily endorse the efficiency and methods of Central College for Women. As a patron for several years of this institution, I have seen resultswhich are the best testimonial of any cause. The wholesome discipline, the thorough intellectual training, the moral and religious environment. the unique historical setting, the healthfulness and the cultural surroundings, all render it a most desirable place to send the girls of Missouri and adjoining states. Wishing continued success in your great work, Most truly and sincerely, JAMES E. CLARKE. Webb City, Mo. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that for nearly three years our daughter has been at Central College for Women at Lexington, Mo., with results very gratifying to us. We believe the management of the school is earnestly trying to and in large measure succeeding in developing pupils along proper and wholesome lines, with a view of fitting them for life's responsibilities. We heartily recommend this school to the favorable considera- tion of any who are looking for a SChOOl in which to educate their daughters. Yours very truly, E. T.
