7 PRESIDENT... To THE Members of the Graduating Class: V I OU have enjoyed the blessings which a benevolent state has bestowed on you in making possible a scientific and technological college for you to attend. To you has been given freely that which great men of the past have attained with many sacri- fices and much labor. You are well equipped for the duties and obligations of citizenship. Many young men, standing as you now stand on the threshold of what we hope will be a useful and happy life, seldom look ahead, seldom use their imagina- tions with regard to their own future lives. You should lay out your life ' s plans — in broad lines, of course, but clearly enough to define to yourselves at what you are going to aim, what you hope for, what you mean to be. Then you should exert every effort to realize your hopes and dreams to the fullest degree. May this realization bring honor to your name and reflect credit on Mississippi State Col- lege, your Alma Mater. . , bmcerely yours, G. D. Humphrey, President DR. G. D. HUMPHREY Ninth President of Mississippi State T ,. A iflfilB ..»»»- ir i(ww « : gs .. r
