Young women during the war years found the campus rather sedate in the absence of the men. They nevertheless pursued their educa- tion while enjoying a somewhat different Mill- saps experience. Long recognized as one of the best and most unique institutions of higher learning in Mississippi and the South- east, Millsaps is on the verge of enter- ing an exciting new phase of its life. Recognition and praise on a more na- tional scale have made possible a very promising future for this small liberal arts school. The purpose of Millsaps College has been its core of strength throughout the years. Born with the promise by Major Reuben Webster Millsaps to create a Christian college within the borders of the State , the school was founded in 1890 with the help of the Methodist Church. The small school was built on the outskirts of the tiny capital city of Jackson, consisting merely of a main building and a hand- ful of students and faculty members.
