PRES. JOHN L. JOHNSON, Jr., M. E. Teacher for years of Modern Lang-uage in Mississippi College, where he did an inestimable work for young men. He came to our Woman ' s College in the fall of 1912, after prayer and council. The matter of choice was put upon him by the providential hand of God, and like Moses, Daniel and Solomon, he chose to do what we find to be the will of God, and he stands at the head of our young college. What tremendous issues in this wise choice! His choice shall de- termine the destiny of scores of girls in this great country of ours. He is brave, courageous, giving his young life to bless the homes and lives of hundreds. His heart is in his work with his faith in God. He began at the bottom with the College and is proving himself a builder, building characters into great structures of usefulness. B. S. University of Mississippi; M. A.

MRS. MAE WALLER BATSON Mrs. Batson is the beloved Lad - Principal and she is both of the words making up the title in the highest degree. Educated at Hillman College she had preserved a fondness for college girls and college life and when the denomination established the college, she determined to devote her life there to the care of girls. How well she has succeeded during session, let all the girls tell. Decided and firm in her manner she brooks no disobedience and yet every girl loves her and obeys willingly. No one could look more earnestly and closely after the best interests of the girls and no one could bring to such a task more culture, zeal, equipment and burning desire to make the very best out of every girl entrusted to her care. In summing up the assets of the Woman ' s College, Mrs. Batson is among the most valuable.
