BOWEN PATTERSON HAND HATHORNE RICKS OF THE COLLEGE » » capable and efficient leader. He is one of the most popular administrative officers of the College, and is a believer in the old policy of the iron hand in the silken glove, and by seeking voluntary co-operation of the student body before resorting to disciplinary measures, he retains the respect and friendship of the students, and at the same time maintains a high standard of personal conduct among them. James Vance Bowen, Dean of the School of Busi- ness and Industry, has achieved his life ' s ambition — that of placing his department on a parity with that of any institution of similar type. Due to his able di- rection, this school has developed faster than any other school in this institution. Having behind him a wide experience in the practical affairs of life, Dean Bowen has acquired a broad human sympathy which makes him respected and beloved by all the students under him. Lucius Lamar Patterson, Dean of the School of En- gineering, has been a member of the faculty since 1910. Affectionately known as Dean Pat, he is always glad to offer his time for the betterment of students ' welfare at State. He has proved to be a hard worker and an excellent teacher. He has the utmost respect of the fact that he keeps their noses to the grindstone; for they know he is hard but fair, and that he works even harder himself than he would have them work. Dr. W. F. Hand, Dean of the Science School, and Vice-President of the College. Under his most efficient management the school has grown to a ranking posi- tion. As Chemistry is fundamental to Agriculture, En- gineering, and other technical courses, this school does the basic work in Chemistry for all schools of the in- stitution. S. B. Hathorne, Dean of the School of Education, and is a new member in the rank of deans of this in- stitution. He is also Director of Instruction, and Di- rector of Summer School. Although this is his first year of service on the faculty of State, he has made definite progress in the field of education at this in- stitution. James Robert Ricks, Dean of the School of Agricul- ture, and Director of the Mississippi Experiment Sta- tion, has played a leading part in elevating his branch of the college to its present enviable rating. The School of Agriculture was organized in 1892 and has as its function training in all branches of agriculture from the farmer to the specialist and the scientist. Under the direction of Dean Ricks, this school has helped State acquire its present high rating.

btudent Association The Student Association, that name given to the entire student body assembled, is composed of the officers of the Student Association, which make up the Student Executive Council, and the entire roster of enrolled students. The Student Executive Council is the governing body of the Student Association of Mississippi State College. Its membership is composed of the President, Vice- President, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Association, four members of the Senior Class, three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman. The Executive Council is to the Student Association what the Congress of the United States is to the United States. The officers are elected by the vote of the entire student body from an unlimited number of candidates for each office. The representatives of the classes are elected from their respective classes by popular vote. The work of the Council consists in the running of student affairs and govern- ment, and in the taking of such action as they may deem best for the welfare of the students. One of the outstanding jobs promoted by the Council this year was taking action on revising the old and out-of-date constitution. The Council has also been very active in sending representatives to Student Government Conventions to represent Mississippi State. Its purpose is to bring to the student body from year to year the fullest possible good, well-balanced student life. Not only is this responsibility necessary in helping bring about more forcibly the realization of the responsibilities of the high places in life which we trust every State man will hold as a graduate student of this institu- tion. By assuming some of the responsibilities of governing its own affairs and help- ing in directing student activities, the student body does not mean to supplant the college authority, but to cooperate with them in making the various student activities a success.
