JL PRESIDENT TO THE 1943 SENIORS OF MISSISSIPPI STATE COLLEGE: Many changes have taken place in our national and in- ternational life since you entered college. These changes have affected your college life greatly and will affect your future perhaps more than they have affected your college life. Whatever training you have received at Mississippi State College will serve you in the years to come as an instrument of power to direct your efforts to a fuller and happier life of service. There have never been greater problems to solve than there are at the present time. The solving of problems means opportunities. Your life from now on will neces- sarily be one of continual effort and struggle, first, to contribute your part in the winning of the war; second to give the best that is in you toward rebuilding a war- torn world after the conflict is over. Your generation is the finest group of young people that have ever lived in the world. We know that you will live up to the challenging future in the same way that you have met your obligations as a college student. You have endeared yourselves to the members of the Col- lege staff. We are looking forward to your becoming an integral part in the continual, progressive evolution that is now under way. Our best wishes and good will will go with you. Sincerely, Dr. G. D. Humphrey. In further accordance with the faith and respect that we have in Dr. George Duke Humphrey, he was this year elected President of The Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Since his arrival here some nine years ago, Dr. Humphrey has grown in prestige and esteem with each new day, and Mississippi State has ex- panded and gained new laurels. Both students and faculty have recognized his quali- ties as a wise leader as well as a sincere and friendly counselor. DR. G. D. HUMPHREY 11
