DEAN W. E. RIECKEN ( v (!! (rM r (T v yrs (T cT ' vv Recognized as one of the best biology- teachers in the South, Dr. Riecken has long been liked and admired by students enrolled in his classes. So his appointment as dean was greeted by pride mingled with anxiety as they realized that this might take time from his labs and lectures. However, Dr. Bill, as he is affectionately called by his close friends, has proved that he is quite capable of managing both positions with ability--successful because of his real under- standing of students and campus life.

DR. M. L. SMITH Tresi enl ' s MESSAGE Teachers, equipment, space, beauty, atmosphere, tradition, location, students, recognition, ideals, and a destiny, well-defined and worthy, are the basic essentials of a great college. Teachers, well-chosen, wise and understanding; physical equipment, well-placed and expertly manipulated; space, open, abundant, soul-expanding and exliilarating; beauty, of hill and valley, of trees and clear sky; atmosphere, inspiring and -.reative; tradition, glorious, scholarly and enduring; location, easily accessible, central, culturally advantageous; students, highly selected, limited in number and strong; recognition, official, personal, universal and deserving; ideals, of moral, spiritual and mental expansion; destiny, conscious and idealistic. These, I say, are the essential characteristics of a great college. Once upon a time a man had a dreain of an institution wliich would embody these essentials where the youth of Mississippi could glean an insight into that by which men scale the heiglits — education. This man was Major Millsaps, and his dream has come true. Millsaps College stands today as a symbol of culture fully recognized by every accrediting agency and educational association in the United States, and presents a program of learning unhampered by political trends, or other factors wliich tend to limit the freedom of man ' s thought and to hinder his pursuit of truth. Millsaps College offers to the highest type of Mississippi boys and girls the facilities of an institution deep-rooted in the traditions of scholarship. Conscious as it is of constructive work in the past, Millsaps realizes that an even greater goal and an even higher trust lie ahead. Millsaps College is now a great center of learning — in the future it will be even greater. — M. L. SMITH, President. 11
