During his years at Mississippi Delta Junior College, Dr. J. T. Hall has brought honor and prestige to the school. A man who is welcome and at home with the humblest but can command the admiration of the wisest, he has been wide- ly popular with students, fac- ulty, staff, and patrons. As president. Dr. Hall has de- voted his time and his enthusi- asm toward changing a small, provincial junior college into a major educational institu- tion of the state, numbering its students in the thousands rather than in the hundreds. Not only has he broadened the academic curriculum, but he is also responsible for the ad- dition of vocational-technical and industrial programs that have offered excellent train- ing to students and have con- tributed much to the advance- ment of business in the Delta area. Under his supervision, a build- ing project was begun that transformed the campus fa- cilities from a few worn-out buildings to a completely new physical plant — modern, at- tractive, and adequate for the needs of an expanded pro- gram. Because we appreciate his fair-minded leadership, his character, and his constant faith, devotion, and dedica- tion to the interests of our school, the annual staff proudly dedicates the 1989 Retrospect to Dr. J. T. Hall. J Dr. Hall 17
