Mississippi College, like the rock in a weary land, has stood true to God and his program, has striven to meet all human needs and to pro- mote truth and virtue. In this era of confusion, she still points the way of wisdom. For over a century she has met the rush of time. Tried in the fires, most of the wood and stubble have burned, leaving only the gold and pure metals. During the years she has changed, but always has settled more firmly upon her rock founda- tion — Christ.

kWA till, in A steady seeking for maximum efficiency and achievement in the field of education has been the chief aim a.id purpose of the administration for the past nine years. During this time, many notable and significant advances have been made. In 1937, the college was placed on the approved list of the Association of American Universities — the highest academic rating which may be attained in this country. Again in 1937, in furtherance of the purpose of maintenance and improvement to the highest possible standards of academic instruction, a six-weeks ' -term system or plan of study was inaugurated. A brief summary of the past nine years would show a vastly improved financial position, increase in endow- ment, improvement and addition to buildings, grounds, and class- room equipment. Of especial interest is the addition of over 12,000 volumes to the college library. A definite clarification of aims and principles has been made with the purpose in view of enabling Mississippi College to make even greater progress in the future. JOHN WILLIAM PROVINE Ph.D., LL.D.
