President Fred T. Mitchell 3L PRESIDENT of MISSISSIPPI STATE COLLEGE This is the first year that Dr. Fred T. Mitchell has served in his present capacity as President of Mississippi State College. A Mississippi State Alumnus, President Mitchell has had at heart the progress of his Alma Mater. He has, furthermore, won the respect and admiration of the students for his seemingly unlimited enthusiasm for student activities. In his very first official speech to the student body and faculty, Dr. Mitchell stated his plans for the postwar progress of the college. Inasmuch as V-J Day came during this long-to-be-remembered year, President Mitchell has put his plans into effect. We here at the College appreciate his efforts and are glad to dedicate this page to the man who in one year has come to rully represent the Mississippi State College spirit of up-and-go-and-succeed . . . President Fred T. Mitchell. 15

I N I S T R AT I V E DR. W. F. HAND The Mr. Chips of State, Dr. William Flowers Hand is the man of whom it is said that every living graduate of this college thinks when he thinks of Mississippi State College. Having served for years of service as Dean of the School of Science, Dr. Hand resigned this year to give his full time to the duties of his office of Vice-Presi- dent of the College. A living memento of the wonderful past and promising future of Missis- sippi State College, Dr. Hand is already a legend in his own time. Admired by his fellow officers of the College, beloved by all who know him, respected by all who have heard of him, William Flowers Hand is permanently entwined in the inevitable brilliant future of the college he loves . . . Mississippi State. MR. MALLORY Taking over the duties as Comptroller of the College for the first time this year, Mr. Mallory has shown that he is fully capable of handling this position requiring intelligence combined with understanding. Faced with many budget- ary problems, Mr. Mallory has still found time to help any student who could not understand his particular financial position. Responding with efficiency and tact to any task given him by the Administration and of favors asked of him by the students, Mr. Mal- lory has come to be regarded in high esteem by the student body. 16
