w: -hen entering the Rotunda and glancing upward, one sees a dust ' covered dome. Careful scrutiny reveals four murals portray ing different phases of life. Teaching, one of the divisions, is represented by a Rom an matron surrounded by children apparently eager to learn. This one is probably of primary concern, helping to keep in mind at all times Farmville ' s first and foremost purpose: to supply the schools of the state with the best possible teachers. Many, many people influence, both directly and indirectly, this process — people like. Charlie Hop, who cheers us up with his smile and Hi, everybody; Mrs. Tabb, whose delicious meals we shall not forget; Miss Wheeler, whose plays are unrivaled; Nannie, who invented Longwood buns; Mr. Mac, who delights us with his puns and jokes. We could go on for hours, but what we ' re trying to say is that these and not just lectures, practiccteaching, tests, parallel and labs are what help to produce teachers. Teachers are people.

C vD C si) CT i) C 9 OK9 OUR PRESIDENT When Dr. Jarman retires in 1946 from the presidency of the State Teachers College at Farm ' ville he will have directed the school for f ortyfour years, or for almost three fourths of its sixty years of existence. This is a remarkable record consider ' ing the fact that most college presidents do not last long because of the difficulties of their positions. But what President Jarman did with his long years of service is more significant. William H. Ruffner, J. L. M. Curry, and others captured the normal school idea for Virginia and gave it expression in the Farmville Foundation. Jarman gave their con ' ception amplified reality. This reality had quanti ' tative expression in growing buildings and enroll ' ments. But it also had qualitative expression in a combination of effective zeal for the cultural uplift of an educationally backward commonwealth with the inculcation of the genteel tradition of Virginia among a multitude of young women. President Jarman trained teachers for the Virginia schools, wives and mothers for Virginia homes, and citi2£ns for community service considered fitting for Vir- ginia women. What Farmville has been, is, and will be was largely to his influence. To a greater C sS C 5 C i) C+ D C+S) degree than most college heads he moulded the des ' tiny of his college. For this reason he must rank with Willard of Troy, Lyon of Mount Holyoke, Smith of Randolph ' Macon, Johnson of Wintrop, and Glass of Sweet Briar as one of the builders of institutions of higher education for women. Joseph Leonard Jarman was born at Charlottes ' ville, Virginia, in 1867, the son of Catherine Good ' loe (Lindsay) and William Dabney Jarman. After attendance at the public schools of his native town, he entered the Miller Training School in 1881. From there in 1886 he was sent to the University of Virginia as winner of the Miller Scholarship. He remained at the University of Virginia until 1889, majoring in natural science. He served as Professor of Natural Science at Emory and Henry College from 1890 until 1902. In 1891 he married Mary Helen, the daughter of the Reverend Dr. E. E. Wiley, the President of the Southwest Vir ' ginia College. Professor Jarman left Emory and Henry in 1902 to become President of Farmville. He received an honorary LL.D. from Hampden ' Sydney College in 1906. He was a member of the Virginia State Board of Education from 1910 until 1918 and was president of the Cooperative Educa ' 12
