IRON OR THE DIAMOND, COACH HAS INSPIRED HIS PLAYERS TO OVERCOME HEAVY ODDS TO CHANGE DISMAL DEFEAT INTO GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. ADMIRATION FOR HIM ISN ' T LIMITED TO ATHLETES, BUT ALL CHOCTAWS LOVE HIM AND THOSE WHO MEET HIS TEAMS DEVELOP A WHOLESOME RESPECT FOR HIS ABILITY. IF THERE IS ANY ONE PERSON WHO SYMBOLIZES THE CHOCTAW SPIRIT, IT IS COACH ROBBIE, AND THUS, FOR HIS LIFE, HIS EFFORTS, AND HIS TEAMS WE PAY THIS TANGIBLE TRIBUTE TO COACH ROBBIE.

D. M. NELSON, P H . D LL.D. • Realistically facing the exegencies of a changing world, Dr. Nelson has thoughtfully guided Mississipi College into a new pro- gram by choosing the best from a conflicting social order and incorporating those things into our school system. Quiet dignity and Christian consideration describe his attitude toward the inevitable administrative problems which have arisen during this period of transition from an all men’s school to a co- educational institution. Missisippi College will continue to be what it has been in the past as long as it has leadership of this calibre.
