DEDICATION To Dr. Fred Tom Mitchell, President of Mississippi State College, we, the students, respectfully dedicate this 1953 volume of the REVEILLE. Since 1945 students here have reaped the benefits of his vigorous leadership as he secured new laboratories, classrooms and dormitories, and as he built the most capable faculty in the seventy-five year history of our institution. We are particularly indebted to this great man for his deep faith in us. Our student government, our publications, and many other phases of our campus life have taken on greater meaning as he has given us the opportunity to accept more responsibility and thereby learn citizenship first hand during our college days. He has always been attentive to our problems, and his counsel has been consistently wise in helping us to find solutions. In his own student days here, he was a leader, srving as editor of the year- book for the class of 1913. The example of President Mitchell ' s life serves as an inspiration for each of us, and through this dedication we express our deep appreciation to him. sgjggH
