Charles Betts Galloway. Foremost captain of his time, Rich in saving common-sense, And, as the greatest only are. In his simplicity subhme. ' ' It is no accident that these lines, written to commemorate the Iron Duke of England, come to our mind when thinking of the Prince of Israel, Mississippi ' s foremost captain of peace. Bishop Galloway is one of the few many-sided men who are great from every point of view; who do not forget that the Christian minister is also the Christian citizen; who absolutely refuse to narrow their minds and give up to one profession what was meant for mankind. A Mlssissippian by birth, growing up to young manhood in the bitter days when we were suffering the aftermath of the most tragic war in history, he has freely given his great mind and heart to the welfare of his State, whether in edu- cational advantages, statesman-like policy, moral improvement, or clerical serv- ice. Such abilities could be confined to no one .State, and as editor, bishop, orator, and patriot, he soon became a power in the South, the Nation, and in the councils of united Christendom. From the day that it was definitely determined to establish in the capital of the Magnolia State a college dedicated to broad Christian education, Bishop Gal- loway has been the honored President of the Board of Trustees, and as successive generations of students have listened to his clear, resonant voice and have heard his eloquent words of wisdom and counsel, there has grown up a deep and abiding affection for Our Bishop ; and it is with heart-felt love and gratitude for a life of noble service that this volume of the Bobashei.a is dedicated to Bishop Charles Betts Galloway, for we needs must love the highest when we see it.
