MISS MITTIE L. MORRIS Miss Morris is a graduate of Blue Mountain College and she also has done much post graduate work. In her own de- partment of Latin and also in the English department in which she assists, Miss Morris is noted for insisting on thorough con- scientious work and not being satisfied with anything short of it. To the girls in her class, Julius Csesar, Horace and Tacitus are not myths but living, breathing personages that have to be reckoned with daily. MISS ALICE LEA Miss Lea is an honor graduate of the L L C. Her specialty is Mathematics— that is during school hours— and she lives in a continual atmosphere of equations, theorems, hypo- thesis, ' cosines and corollaries. In spite of this she is angular neither mentally nor physically but is extremely popular with students and teachers. PROF. O. P. ESTES Prof. Estes is a B. A. gi-aduate of Mississippi College. He is a man of rare versatility as in addition to conducting the History and Bible departments, he leads the congregational singing, supervises athletics and is the Grand High Mogul of the truck garden. As yet he is unmarried but there are signs that such a reproach can not be long cast upon hin.

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.
