Dr. A. F. Watkins N the polity of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, four years is the limit of a pastor ' s service in one charge. At the end of his quadrennium it may be definitely determined whether or not his work in that charge bids fair to endure. Also, in American col- leges four years is a student ' s generation. Therefore it is fitting that this Annual of 1916 should be dedicated to the president of Millsaps College, Doctor Alexander Farrar Watkins. The first college generation that has come under his shaping hand now goes out, their academic work ended. He has wrought long enough as the head of Millsaps College for an estimate to be placed upon h is work. It is the opinion of those that are in a position to judge that he has decidedly made good, Two of the four chief buildings of the college have been rebuilt during his four-year term. The material facilities of the college are far superior to those he found when he began his present work, and his plans, as ijublicly announced, include the two buildings, a dormitory and a gymnasium, which the college urgently needs. Over half of the present faculty has been chosen on his recommendation. The salaries of the professors have been increased, the curriculum has been revised, and the attendance in the college proper has passed the previous high water mark. The college is coming, under his guidance, to the celebration of its quarter-centennial with assured position and great prospects. In his ad- ministration it has become a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the South, a recognition accorded to only one other institution in Mississippi. He has grown steadily with the faculty and students during his four years in his present office, and the dedication of this year ' s Bobashela is a token of the confidence and appreciation of the whole academic body of Millsaps College.
