DR. G. D. HUMPHREY e aac T JX WI tliA PRESIDENT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS: As you approach the end of your college career at this institution, my parting injunction is that you be sincere in whatever you may undertake to do. Sincerity will pay you rich dividends whatever your interests in life may be. The sincere man is one who is true to his best nature and lives up to the high ca lling of his destiny in all phases of human experience. Sincerity opens up the channels of comradeship among friends and binds us to- gether with ties of loyalty in our social, professional, and business groups. Material riches, fame, and power can mean little to one who has not been sincerely loyal to hinself and to his fellowman. In your years here, I firmly believe that you have established ties of loyal and sincere friendship with both the faculty and your fellow students which the passing years will not sever. I congratulate you upon your achievements here, and wish for you a life of happy and sincere service. Sincerely yours, G. D. HUMPHREY, President.

}L OFFICERS FOR SIXTY YEARS Mirsissippi State College has been growing from the small Mississippi Agricultural and Me- chanical College to one of the greatest colleges in the South. This was made possible by the progressive and able leaders of State ' s administration. Sixty years ago the college had an enrollment of three hundred and fifty students, all pursuing the same course of study. When the students came on the campus they saw an academic building, a small dormitory, a chemical laboratory, President Stephen D. Lee ' s residence, and a few barns. That was Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. Today, due to capable men in our administration, we find beautiful buildings, modern dormitories, the longest cafeteria in the world, twenty-three hundred students, five schools with progressive professors, and one of the best football teams in the nation. The seniors graduating this year have seen the construction of a concrete stadium, the department of Agri- cultural Administration added to the curriculum, a Dairy Products Building completed, Division of Graduate Per- sonnel created, the Petroleum Testing Laboratory completed, and Hull and Magruder Halls completed. This all comes under the heading of hard work of the leaders of the administration. They have been forced to work under a budget that is much too small; one that should be set for a student body much smaller than this one, but handicapped as they are, their progress is remarkable. President Humphrey has been the dynamic and an efficient leader of these men, and with his guidance they should continue their progress. MAIN DORMITORy
