DR. JESSE THOMAS WALLACE, whose utter lack of hypocrisy, legendary mannerisms, broad knowledge, and constructive Christianity endeared him to countless num- bers of students and friends of the college. Head of the Department of History and Sociology for thirty-four years, a teacher of unusual ability and unsurpassed merit, Dr. Wallace made it his effective life work to mould and to instruct his boys ' into leaders and pro- ponents of truth. For the soundness of his observations both upon History and — what is more important — Life, for the transcendent greatness of his soul do we pause here in grateful commemoration of his memory.

i n m 1 1 [ with most sincere and earnest admiration the simple yet singularly great characteristics which have distinguished the devoted services and untiring efforts of DR. JOHN WILLIAM PROVINE during his 49 years of service at Mis- sissippi College. President-emeritus of the college and twice president of Mississippi College, president of the Southern Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, the sometimes president of the Mississippi Teachers’ Association, Dr. Provine always has been a True-hearted Christian, Loyal Friend, Profound Scholar, Inspiring Teacher, Beloved Execu- tive, A GENUINE GENTLEMAN OF THE SOUTH. It is with deep sadness and heart-felt regret that we must note the retirement of Dr. Provine from active instruction at the end of this school session.
