The President’s Message McMt'RRY College has rounded oul llu Sixth Year of its work since opening its doors in 1923. More than six! young people have received the usual aen leniie degrees from the institution and have gone out into various fields of activity, or to some higher institution of learning. All of these have made records of which the College is proud. This year’s graduating clas . will In almost ns large as all the former classes combined, and we believe no finer group of young people has ever gone out from the College. To those going from us we extend deep and earnest wishes of the entire Faculty for useful places in society, and a prayer that the; may render faithful and efficient service. The College will watch your careers with the interest of a mother following the life and work of her children. To the Undergraduates of the institution the President wishes to express a deep and abiding purpose to render in the coining years a greater service to those who come within the College Halls. I he plans now being carried out throughout the hounds of the Northwest Texas Conference for Endowment and added equipment give a guarantee of perpetuity and larger service such ns the Institu- tion has not heretofore had. The same ideals that have character- ized the College from its inception prevail. The President extends his personal greetings to each and every one of you. Sincerely, J. W. HUNT, President. Nlnrtm

 Scholarship is a necessary prerequisite to the success of any College. The rapid advancement of our school from u little Junior College to a recognized Senior College of the fir t rank has been very largely due to the efforts of the Dean of the Institution. A rating with the | est in the Southwest is the result of his diligent and careful direction. His duties have been many and varied, hut he is to Iw commended by the Student Body for his fairness and sin- cerity. He serves us well as educator, judge of our troubles, officer of discipline, and general administrator. Df.an Boyd M. McKeown, M. A. Dean of the College ami Head of the education Dejtarlmenl.
