Herbert, Vice-President Professor Herbert keeps the registrar ' s office, teaches political science, signs permits occasion- and finds time on Sunday mornings to make inspections, besides. He makes political science look like taking gumdrops away from children, and then shows the boys on final exam that things aren ' t always what they seem. Next to a good cigar he likes to see things looking right on inspections. He has been the friend and advisor of many students whose sons are here now, and without him this would hardly be A. M. Dr. Moody can cover more pages of physics per unit time than anybody we ever expect to see. He starts the hour off with a bang by a ten-minute quizz usually, and the mortality is high. Sometimes with most profs you can tell about what they are going to ask, but that doesn ' t apply here at all. The doctor likes football about as well as the next one, from all appearances. He intimates that ice boating is a decent sport, too — something you can break your neck at without half trying. Dr. Hand is as good a friend as you can find — here or anywhere else. He is never too busy to talk to you when you drop in, and he will do anything on this green earth for you if it ' s possible. He has made the chemistry department here equal to anything in the South. If he needs some special equipment that isn ' t being made, he doesn ' t worry any — just goes down in the lab and builds it. He may be absent-minded to the point of forgetting what he was lecturing about, but he doe i ' t forget friends, and that ' s what counts. We bet there ' s not another college anywhere around that sports as many deans that are keen fellows as A. M. Prof. Lipscomb is right in there, we say. Most deans can ' t see you with a telescope and a double pair of glasses unless you are in their school, but you don ' t have to be an Ag man to rate with him. He ' s ready for a bull session ' most any time, and incidentally, he ' s about as well up on all phases of Agriculture as anyone your liable to run across. Prof. Weddell and English are the same words. As a matter of fact, words are his hobby. The unabridged dictionary up in classroom looks like it had been through the Battle of Shiloh, so many fellows have had to use it. He picks them to pieces (the words), and examines each letter minutely. If you aren ' t careful you will use such correct words after taking his course that your roommates won ' t know what ' s happened to you. 22

Buz M. Walker, B.Sc. President M.Sc, Ph.D. Dr. Walker has been associated with the College for 49 years. It has been largely through his earnest and untiring work that the Mississippi A. and M. College has become one of the outstanding colleges of the South. He received his degree from the Mississippi A. and M. College in 1883, and became an instructor of Mathematics upon- graduating. He received the degree of Master of Science upon completion of a three-year Summer course at the University of Virginia. In 1888, when he became head of the Department of Mathematics, he spent a year at the Universities of Gottingen and Berlin He then studied fifteen months at the University of Chicago. His solution of a celebrated problem dealing with the mathematics of curves, which had proved a stumbling-block to the world ' s greatest mathematicians since the time of Newton, gave him world wide recognition and placed his name in the Mathematical Hall of Fame. He presented this solution as a thesis for his Doctorate. He organized the Engineering School in 1902 and became its first dean. Eleven years later he was appointed vice-president and two years ago he was elected president. He entered as a Sophomore, and set his eyes on the president ' s chair. Forty-seven years of hard work placed him there. That shows what you can do if you want to bad enough.
