t: Chartered on February 24, 1844, The University of Mississippi began its first session on November 6, 1848, with a student body of eighty and a faculty of four who offered instruction in a general cur- riculum in the liberal arts. Continually strengthening the College of the Liberal Arts, the trustees and the faculty sought to broaden the work of the institution by the creation of professional and specialized schools so as to build it into a university in fact as well as in name. Coeducation came with the ad- mission of women in 1882, and the first woman was added to the fac- ulty in 1885. The admission of blacks in the university came at a much later date ' nd met with some resistance. James Meredith, admitted in the fall x)f 1962, came to the university as a transfer student and opened doors for other blacks, both graduate and undergraduate. Dr. Lucius Williams, associate professor of educational administra- tion, is the first black faculty mem- ber. He joined the faculty in the early seventies and presently serves as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Ac- ademic Affairs and Associate Dean of the School of Education. The oldest building on the cam- pus and still the center of the ad- ministration is the Lyceum. Begun in 1846 and completed in 1848, the Lyceum consists of the admissions department, the registration facil- ities, the financial center (bursar), and houses the offices of the Chan- cellor, the Vice Chancellors, and the School of Liberal Arts. The Oxford campus has been growing since 1848, and today it is home to more than 10,000 students, pursuing more than 100 different academic programs in a setting that is both remarkable for its beauty and renowned for its facilities. The Ole Miss campus includes 42 classroom buildings, 19 residence halls, 25 Greek houses, a university theatre for campus theatrical and musical productions, a new new in- door recreation center, and abun- dant athletic facilities, both varsity and intramural. Ole Miss is more than a collection of buildings, books, and computers. It ' s a living thing, made up of its history, the background of its fac- ulty, and the future of its students. It is a community of men and women devoted to the preservation, in- crease, and application of knowl- edge. It is a culture, dedicated to preparing individuals to experience any culture or to make a new one. • — by Katrina F.
