LIBERTY . LADIES COLLEGE. For 13 years, Prof. Yancey has had Close business relations with us. His accounts have been kept with remarkable accuracy, and in a businesslike way. He pays his debts and meets obligations with a degree of: promptness that has won him respect and confidence in bank Circles, and among business people generally. By advertising far and wide, the advantages of Mexico, at a cost of more than $15,000, and by giving the college a high and honorable rank among western schools, Prof. Yancey has pertormed an invaluable service for our city.

LIBERTY LADIES COLLEGE. 39 Much credit is due Professor A. K. Yancey for pushing forward the great work of female education. For twelve years his wise, aggressive policy has stimulated a generous rivalry which has brought gratifying results. His skill as manager of school property and his tact as an advertiser have brought to him a large degree of success. The fact that he and Rev. C. M. XVilliams are associated in the ownership of Liberty Ladies' College fore- tells the grand future that awaits that institution. Signed: A. w. PAYNE, Business Manager Central Baptist. Office of STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES, NEVADA, M0,, May 27, 1898. . If natural and acquired attainments, long service, and phenomenal success entitle one to preeminence in anyi'department of work, President A. K. Yancey is surely entitled to that distinction in the work of Female Education. I know of no one who has outstripped him in his Chosen pro- fession. Eight years ago I became his pastor in Mexico, Mo., and was thrown into most intimate relations with him. Hardin College had only about 40 boarding pupils. Through his indomitable energy and faithful work, he has increased its patronage nearly four-fold. Even fmancial panic could not retard the work. Several times the building has been enlarged, and yet the constant cry has been, ttmore room? I attribute no small part of President YanceyTs success to the inhu- ence of his cultured, consecrated wife. In both College and Church, her intinence is a benediction. President Yancey and wife are henceforth to be associated with President Williams and wife, in the management of Liberty Ladies College. This quartet insures the greatest success for this already successful institu- tion. The work of these educators at Hardin forecasts the future of Liberty Ladies College. The ideal location, the magnihcent buildings, the intelli- gent, cultured community, are additional guarantees of success. A. E. ROGERS, Secretary of State Board of Charities. FROM THE BANKERS, OF MEXICO, MO. May 20, 1898. Prof A. K. Yancey became President of Hardin College in 1885, when its patronage was comparatively small. The College has greatly prospered under his management. The standard has been raised, the course has been extended, the patronage has been increased from 40 boarding pupils to I40, coming from 26 states. During the years of panic and bankruptcy, when great commercial firms were pushed to the wall, the College, under Prof. Yancey's management, reached the greatest prosperity in:its history. . From length of service-24 years as college presidentmfrom his superior educational advantages, and especially, measured by the phenom- enal success he has achieved, Prof. Yancey has proven himself an educator of high order.
