' 'S f e y Tom had been in his new surroundings only a short while when someone knocked .r 5- . and when he opened he found that one of his new friends. oe Moore by name, had come 1. 5,1 to inform him that it was time to proceed to the dining hall for the replenishing of his hun- ri T ger with beans. He was given a place at the table which was presided over by our ex- 6 i , X 4 + 1... f , fhxfl N rx 7 3- -. ac- 4, rv,- G .u V K.

The most peculiar thing that he noticed about the dining hall and its force was that the Matron had Mutt and Jeff on the waiters' force.

All off for Marshall, cried the porter on a north bound train. l y l, Tom Standifer's heart came up into his throat, for it was his first time to set out for college ' and he did not know just what he would do when he arrived. But when he had pulled his l l baggage together and stepped from the train, he found that some of the old students from i C. O. Nl. were there to give him and many others a guiding hand and the needed assistance. QV I l l 1115 1 I 1 'Cul N f if M4 WD NGN W -f 1 l IAQAU JK gf ..

MAIN VIEW COLLEGE or MARSHALL , 4 1 Tom, in company with his new found friends, was soon at the foot of the hill upon which the College stands, and as he gazed up at that magnificent administration building 1- he caught his first thrill of College life. The first place to which he was conducted was the President's office. Now Tom's experience with officials was very limited, but he had a i l great deal of self confidence and control, and although he felt a little tremor in his voice ' when he first began to speak. he soon overcame this, and he had not been in the presence Xi Q' of the President very long when he decided that after all college presidents were just men. f it And when he had matriculated and selected his location, our hero betook himself to his f Kilim room to take a little rest and to refresh himself after the day's journey. s fl 3 X1 Q, 1 1 wif fill' '- '7 if IG -f - .M '--- 2-1'-f t::?::::1'::.::: ..:::'::rg1::t::-wif-T M B it::t T: -- A VL klljlf 7, L 3. : .::.L:::1i:::'::1i':.:-,::::.: i.::f:'.': T'..I'Z'T1L .

Mrs. Tardy gladly consented. Come in, you country rascals, said the Doctor as the young men stepped upon the porch. The boys entered, and after the usual introduction, a lively con- versation started and the discussion finally drifted to the College. I have heard lots about C. O. M., said Tom, but I would like for you to tell me in your own words how the College came about, since you must know better than anyone. After some hesitation, because he had been the starter of the movement, the Doctor proceeded thus with the history of the institution: Marshall had for many years been an Q N Clif 1 X, , fwyi, 4.3 I I 1 l ,All tes' i I V . 1 1 L Looxmc.

Still the people did not give up the idea and when we held an educational rally at the Methodist A r church, I challenged the Methodist people to build a college in our city, and in reply they i came back with the challenge to the Baptists to build a Baptist college. Mr. Turney, . one of their members, offered to give the firstthousand dollars for the establishment of the institution. That's line, broke in Tom, please continue. Well, said the Doctor, A you know the Baptists could not think of failing to meet a challenge like that, so we got lr. , . ii , ' A i i M- N0 l s s '-1TT'7 11':-H it ,f i H11-ft it A ' H this fl , --, -at C ,nn or 4
