Bul' Dean Bell was a Rebel rradilion in 'rhe really spacious and hard-hirling meaning of fhe lerm. He carne fo Ole Miss as a sludenf in IB94 and became a member of lhe Arhlelic Commilree in I908. Since Ihen he has been woven inlo 'rhe Ole Miss arhlelic skein as firmly as headgears and calching maslrs. The imprinl of one man's personaliry upon 'rhe person- aliries of orhers is necessarily vague, bul we believe 'Ihal' Dean Bell operared a lremendous influence upon lhe boys who wore Red and Blue across lheir shoulders. We believe 'lhis because lhe boys have 'fold us so in person. -WALTER STEWART, The Commercial Appeal, April I3, l948. Dean of lhe Universily Pele Kyle McCarler U14 i ...-5 'l ls Died April 9, l94B.
