THE PRESIDENT The college which you know today with its efficient and pleasing campus, its handsome buildings, and well planned curricula is a very different one from the college which opened its doors to students twenty years ago. Notwithstand- ing all the changes which modern life has brought about there are the same fundamental values upon which the college was founded and which we strive to continue today. Among these values are truth, virtue, honesty of purpose, and hard work. You, who enjoy the blessings which Delta State Teachers Col- lege offers today, have the responsibility for continuing these values in the life of your school. W. M. Kethley William Henry Zeigel, Ph.D DEAN OF FACULTY Rich in the heritage of twenty years, the Delta State Teachers College is but at the threshold of greater achievements. Let the college now take firm hold on opportunities that beckon forward. Henceforth our loved school will grow in influence and power as the years, score on score, are added to this its twentieth anniversary. William H. Zeigel. THE FACULTY WIRT ALFRED WILLIAMS. A. M.
