tvtillt BUZ M. WALKER, B.Sc, M.Sc, Ph.D. Forty-eight years ago Buz M. Walker entered A. and M. College as a Sophomore; today he sits in the President ' s chair. Almost continuously since that beginning he has been in official touch with his Alma Mater. As soon as he received his degree, in 1SS3, he was employed as instructor in the Department of Mathematics. The summers of 1SS5, 1886, and 1SS7 he spent at the University of Virginia in study that resulted in his receiving the degree of Master of Science. In 1SSS, when he became head of the Department of Mathematics, he spent a year abroad, studying in the University of Gottingen and of Berlin, Germany. Being still dissatisfied with his attainment, he asked for a second leave of absence, and studied in the University of Chicago for fifteen months. He then set himself to the solving of a celebrated problem, dealing with the mathematics of curves, which had baffled the minds of the world ' s greatest mathematicians for two hundred years, and, after several years ' study, presented the solution as a thesis to the University of Chicago, and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. This achievement placed his name in the Mathematical Hall of Fame. In 1902 he organized the Engineering School here and was appointed its first dean. In 1913 he was appointed vice-president of the College, and last spring (1925) was elected president. Dr. Walker holds the love and respect of the student body, as one who is fair and square, always for the right, no matter the result.

MtVtillt DEAN LIPSCOMB The School of Agriculture The School of Agriculture proposes to train men for public agricultural work on the one hand, and for scientific farming on the other. Mississippi leads all other states in the percentage of farm population. Mississippi ' s purchasing power is in direct proportion to the economic productivity of her farms. Mississippi ' s relative prosperity will he increased only in proportion to the increased efficiency of her farms. The School of Agriculture is the only department of a state institution that prepares young men from the farms of Mississippi to return to the farms of the state and there apply the scientific principles of agriculture to the practical management of the farm. The School of Agriculture com- prises the departments of Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Horticulture, Poultry Husbandry, and Veterinary Science. Work in these departments is supplemented by the various courses offered in the Academic School and in the School of Science. In the rtaining of students the school has at its disposal the scientific facts which are constantly being discovered by the Research Department headed by Director J. R. Ricks. The Research Depart- ment has several thousand acres of land in the various soil types of Mississippi and these stations are manned by scientists well trained in their respective fields of work. The School has the counsel and close co-operation of the Extension Department, headed by Director R. S. Wilson, whose activities reach the remotest communities of the state. With the e means, Mississippi ' s farm problems can be more fully known and the students can be better trained for the most efficient service.
