Girls, you beauties of eyes blue and brown. Your colors are fetching, you are the cynosure of Hattiesbura; town. There are Gibson Girls, Fisher Beauties. all Queen of Crown, I Christian thee In St. Collegians in College Confections of caps and gown. You of the student body — you intellectual dreams, I extend to you a greeting — forms of good-will in realms ; In scientific research in sewing may you discover new seams. Too, may you delve in education and explore new streams. To the President, bless him, with irtue man and faults few. During the present term, the rod? this did he eschew; The other teachers? O! they were graml, too. Too, the house-keeper and the cook, they are prominent in the view. Fellow students ! ' twill soon be Commencement — the end. Ere long you will hold in your hands of big ideas of an upward trend. Too soothe vou will discuss women suffrage, perhaps a militant to Congress you ' ll send, I would suggest Domestic Science — socks to mend. Good bye, dear President, teachers and friends.

She is either cooking or sewing all the time. She is winsome of face and charming of manner, and should she give her life to teaching she would be a success, should she elect to enter the state of bliss known as matrimony, we predict that she will be equally successful as a housewife.

After many tempestuous skirmishes in other school and Colleges, Cora came to M. W. C. when the College first opened her doors to students. Very quiet is Cora, until the light bell rings, then Mother Batson must needs stand sentinel before her doors, to subdue the sound of revelry which would otherwise issue there from. Cora is very domestic in her tenden- cies and is an adept with a sewing ma- chine. She would do well in this official line of work if she would not devote so much time to the Tucker ( ?).

C. each contributed to her fund of knowledge, but when M. W. C. was launched by the Baptist of Miss., Carrie cast in her lot, with the promising young College. She has allowed no student to excel her in scholarship, and in every phrase of College life, her influence has been felt. Every girl in school numbers Carrie as her friend. The charm of her per- sonality, with her strong capabilities, have made her a leader in e ery sense of the word.

Favorite quotation: Et tu Brute. By word: I ' m furious for life. Expression. She looks well to have come from Sullivan ' s Hollow, but that famous spot is her native heath. Her exemplary life here has led us to disbelieve many of the unfavorable reports coming up from the Hollow. Vida entered M. W. C. at the open- ing of its first session. Her teachers have never been kept awake at night, worry- ing because she would not work. Her best is always given freely. She has labored faithfully in the College Y. W. A. and her strong leadership has been felt in all the student movements. She hopes to marry a preacher, but until this measure can be effected, she will wield the black gum twig in The Hollow.

Before breakfast, September 17, 1913, wben the front door at M. W. C. zras opened, HoUey, with her trunk, was found on the front steps, waiting to be admitted. Various High Schools and Hillman College, did their part in mak- ing her the bright and shining light she now is. HoUey is what you ' d call gifted. She has a long neck, flexible tongue, and ingenious mind, so she has always been in demand when speed and accuracy were needed. She often ex- ceeds the speed limit, especially at inter- collegiate games, where her force and skill as a rooter, is little short of marvelous. Doesn ' t know yet as to her future, but hope something will show up. Winner Smith Expression !Medal, ' 13 ; College Glee Club. ' l3- ' i4; Business Manager Pine Burr, ' 14; I. P.

Ruth is first, last, and all the time, day and night, rain or shine, hot or cold, wet or dry, musical. The oldest inhabi- tants, when wishing to .say that a certain place in question has long been a fixture in the city, always say, Why that has been there, ever since Ruth Neel was made pianist at the first church, and her faithfulness and ability in this capa- city are worthy of emulation. What e er the obstacles she has encountered, she has played right through them, and now she has reached her goal, kind of heart, cheery of disposition, and nimble of finger. Hopes to marry an evange- listic singer, so she can play for him. Philomathean; ] Iusic Club, ' 14. Favorite author; Meredith. Favorite quotation ; Civilized man cannot live without cooks. By word; Ain ' t it pitiful. f Dme BORR = Verna Oden Hattiesburg, Miss. Domestic Science. Any girl who chooses this course in College has one of two things in mind, she is either getting ready to get married, or to make money. Judging from certain activities observed in the oung lady, it is the opinion of all that she has no de- sire for the filthy lucre. We fear the worst. Ve is very painstaking and pro- ficient in her work, and will do well whatever she undertakes. Favorite author: ? ? Favorite quotation : ? ? Bv word ! ! ! May Rogers Pachuta, Miss. Expression. May, after having finished the High School course at Pachuta, drank of the fountain of knowledge, as it flows at Blue Mountain College, but came here as one of M. W. C. ' s first students. ] Iay is a very splendid young lady — kind, oblig- ing and earnest. The only trouble she has ever given Mother Batson, being caused from a weakness she has for sar- dines and onions, which she consumes in large quanities, when she has access to them. May has taken an active part in all the religious life in the College. Ex- pects to spend her life teaching the Heathen Chinee.

The receiving line composed of Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Johnson, Jr., Mrs. Mae Waller Batson, Cora Hudson and Louise Walters, stood at the entrance and wel- comed the guests as they arrived. AH during the evening punch was served by little girls, members of Sub-Fresh- man Class, who were dressed with red and green ribbons. Music and games afforded great amusement during the e ening however, it was r.oted, that it was often very necessary for the young ladies to lea e their sequestered bower to get refreshments. Late in the evening the guests were invited to one section of the porch which had been transformed into a garden pergola, with a low hanging lattice of ribbon intertwined with evergreen. At small tables here and there, a most delicious salad course was ser ed. followed by an ice course. As favors, the guests took away with them red carnations. It was twelve o ' clock when the guests reluctantly took their departure — all declaring that they had had a most delightful evening. •- f iDir e BORR = a. lir Class Day Exercise Mississippi Woman ' s College (jMonday morning, May 25, 1914) PROGRAMME Procession of classes Class Song Senior Daisy chain and march Class prophecy .........

Class President ■■v ? iD[c e BORR = a= )enior History Perhaps if Sir Robert Walpole had not been addicted to reading class histories he would never have given utterance to that reproach to the faithful historian, All history is a Lie, would that he had read the history of the Senior Class of M. W. C. instead of that of the present Juniors. In the presence of such a fact, the author has felt somewhat hesitant about tak- ing up the task. But the subject has inspired her with the hope that possibh she can in some measure correct this impression. Ere many years have rolled the class of Nineteen Hundred Fourteen will be but a memory to Mississippi Woman ' s College; but the college will never be a mere memory to this class. It will evercast a glance backward to this spot and little com- pany which circumstances placed together. It was in the ear of ' 12 — a number of si. gathered up the records of knowledge secured in other climes and journeyed to a new fountain, settling down with visions of Sophomore. There were trees and flowers close by this fountain, perfect in form, for never beast or devouring insect crept in to mar the beauty of one spot or destroy one unfold- ing bud. Those who have journeyed there soon began to take on the nature of that atmosphere growing more perfect with no temptation to beguile them. O racles opened, with low whispers, gave utterance to prophesies that sent abundance of hope to e ery breast, and into their ears, all tuned to soft music poured these prophecies. Like the fountain whose source is deep they issued forth without ceasing and revealed to those who sojourned there untold wisdom such as the world could not afford to be without. The happy successful years by this fountain have come and gone and the loyalty for Alma Mater in the hearts of the class of 1914 has grown apace. With regrets do they rake their leave from fountain and oracle. But the fountain has become a well of living water and the oracle a guiding prophecy and farther out in the distance they are lured to greater tasks. Goes the prophecy after them ; O they will walk this world, Yoke in all exercises of noble end. And through those dark gates across In the wild. •- s a Pir e BORR = i Junior Class Colors: Grasshopper Green and Cerise Flower: Bachelor Button Motto: Win or die OFFICERS Addie Hamrick Hattie Pearl Laxgford Verna Odex President Historian Poet CLASS ROLL Dixie Moore Addie Hamrick Gladys Guynes Hattie Pearl Langford Siidie Thompson Verna Oden •- i % £ [r e QORR. = % Junior History) In September of 1912 when the Mississippi Woman ' s College first opened its doors to the great crowds of girls who were knocking for entrance, there were among the number seven ready for fighting. They were not at all distinguished looking, but Win or Die was written in every line of their faces. As the years went on the womanly and dignified department during the recitations, the charming and exemplary honesty in all things, their cultured decorum and the ambition which they showed for knowledge and power soon won for them the confidence and respect of the student body as well as of the faculty. I present to you now in this history of the Juniors e idences of steadiness and wisdom due to their noble habits and faultless training. With a solid purpose the class has been a united body since the first day we came together upon the battlefield. Irrespective of our personal interest and selfish natures, we have always worked for the advancement, not only of our Class, but of the College and for the uplift of our fellow-students. Each member is to be found associated with courses that will pro- mote the highest standard of College life and point to the highest ideal for future j ' ears. Such organizations as the Glee Club, Y. W. A. ; B. Y. P. U. and Literary Societies do not only boast- of having Juniors as active members, but frequently they preside over the meetings as wise and dignified leaders. To bring to a close a history such as this without noting the passing away of M. W. C. ' s most noted class would be criminal. The author would show a lack of historical discernment, were she to remark that the thought had been sudden. Al- though we have been rejoicing in climbing up to the Senior steps, it is the sad and lamentable duty of this historian to sing in behalf of the Juniors a requiem over the deceasing Senior Circle. In the Owl ' s Den, the strange abode of the Seniors, they have witnessed its palmiest days ; but we hope they will emerge from this, shaking off their feathers of disguise, letting the Light and Life of M. W. C. shine forever. We are now on the brink of our Senior year and it will not be amiss to express this belief ; we trust that the best of it this Class history has not been written. The achievements, though they may seem great in the minds of some of us, are but shadows in the career of future vears. H. P. L. Here ' s to M. W. C. so dear not old. Here ' s to her teachers, too ; Here ' s to the pupils within her fold, Here ' s to them all so true ; Here ' s to our lessons, hard and long; To them our ambition throng; Here ' s to the finest class and strong, Here ' s to the Juniors, ON. np p[r e BORR = df ;;i9i Sopk omore CI ass Colors: Maroon and Gray Flower: Red Carnation Motto: Roothetrordie OFFICERS Anna Phillips President Martha Cohea Vice-President Mala Hamilton Poet May Watts CLASS ROLL Secretary Carrie Caperton Neva Morris Nancy Miller Alma Lowrey Gay Holcomb Lois Myers Gussie Short Vera Oden Clee Thatch Lurlyne Collins Lela Batson Ada Bethea Alice Polk Bertha Mayfield Anna Phillips : Iay Watts Mala Hamilton Martha Cohea Annie Rush -i? = D[r e BORa = A TKougKt Drift to the Sopnomore Here as we take our solitary ' rounds, Amidst the shnded swings and Tennis grounds, Remembrance wakes, with her long train of thought, And smiles upon the mysteries, which we, to solve, once sought. : Yes, once, not longer than last year.

The New Year had scarcely be- gun when we organized, elected our officers, and felt ourselves beginning the fight of six long years. We adopted purple and gold as our class colors and chose the pansy for our class flower. In November we had an initiation party, but we had to close the doors and say sh- sh- sh. In spite of all, we boiled o er e ery now and then and since the heights to which our social achie ements ha e reached have been bounded only by M. W. C. regulations, which alas, like the bow of the Medes and Persians change not as the years go by. We are dreaming of that dim far off future when ge get Senior rank and pri eleges. Howe er. we may ha e restricted, occasionally our wings have by no means been clipped. There are athletics and intellectual plains to reach and we are on the climb. Our class as a whole, has a most promising future and we feel that there are those mong us who will win the pride of the Woman ' s College and not only that, but whose fame will call for a name hereafter. Oh ! how regardless of their doom The little Urchins play. No sense have they of ill to come. No care beyond to-day. Annette Bedford. ' 14. 43 Snap Shots from M. W. A.

Our kitchens, in these uKjdern times, are scenes of most atrocious crimes; tliere meat is ruined by the ton, by being cliarred or tmdone and bread is baked like pa ing blocks — we slice it up with saws and picks — and things are fried that should be stewed and deadh kinds of dope are brewed. How often do } ou see a maid whose cooking leaves you unafraid? I know a million damsels fair ; thev prance around me e er where, and some can paint and some can sing, and some can waltz like everything, accomplishments they have to burn, but when for tempting grub, I yearn, I couldn ' t call a girl by name who ' s equal to the c(joking game. The day ' s at hand when suff ' ring man must eat his dinner from a can. The girls embark in politics, and haven ' t time for skillfid tricks with frying pans and kindred tools, and that ' s wh indigestion rules. W. ' iLT M. ' SON. Her Desert of Waiting GOURTNE ' V ' Thomas stood looking at the line of College girls in their caps and gowns go by, it seemed almost unjust when she contrasted her own life with theirs. Four years ago lier mother had left her father and her in the little town of C — in Missouri, she was only a child of fourteen, but since then she had played a woman ' s part, keeping house for iier father, and until the last year, she had gone to high school. Her father had planned for her to attend College, but it seemed impossible. To-da - he had gone out telling her he had made some new plans, but would not tell her until he had returned so that if he did not succeed she would not be disappointed. All the afternoon she had been wondering what the - were. Just then she heard his steps in the hall and sprang to open the door, O father, what is it, I kiio« you have succeeded, you look so happy, what is it? I will tell you under one condition tliat you promise to make no obstacles to what I am going to ilo and remember when you ha e gi en this promise there is no withdrawing, will you promise ? Oh, yes. I know it can ' t be anything bad when you look so happy. This morning I heard that the - wanted a man out at the College to work, as the one whom they had has left, so I determined to go out there to see if I could get the place. I talked to the President, iVIrs. Baird, and she decided to employ me. I then talked to her about you, and she agreed to let you come and stud , and vou are to take oice, I think it would be wrong for a voice like yours to lie idle. But now as to the last part, and 1 want you to remember your promise, I told her ou were to come, but you would not be known as my daughter. I covdd not permit you to be laughed at as the daughter of the janitor. But father be in the same house, to sec you e ery ihiy and not treat ou as my father. I couldn ' t do that, the girls would know it in a few days and then what is the use of it. I am sure I wouldn ' t mind that and I can ' t see wliy you shoidd. ' ou have promised and I thought it o er and decided tliat wa ' is best, it will be hard enough as it is for there w ill rot be much money, so it must be this wa or not at all. If our relationship is disco ered I shall leave and your only chance for an edu- cation will be gone. Do you think it is worth trying? Since you think it is best I will try. Courtney had gi en her promise and meant to do her best to keep it, but to her it appeared almost impossible. The ne.xt da Courtney and her father left their home, she going dirccth ' to the College, but her father not going until later in the afternoon. When she arrived, Mrs. Baird met her and took her to the office. ' our father has told me all the circumstances and although in this, most cases I woidd not appro e. 1 ha e ck-cided to allow you the opportunities. Are you going to do your best to reward your fatlier for his sacrifice? 62 I shall du my best and if work can acconijilish anythini; he shall not he dis- appointed. Mrs. Hairtl was pleased with her iiuiet determination anil knew she wuuld tr . You arc tired so I will uet some one to show o i to our room. We will arrange for yom work to-morrow. I ha e decided to let you room hy yourself for the present. Courtney was shown to her room, and there busied herself arrangiiiL; things until the dinner bell rang, she was wondering if she would ha e to go dow n hy herself when some one knocked on the door and a young girl came in and saul : My name is (jrace Wentworth and Mrs. Raird sent me to take you down to dinner, if you are ready we w-ill go. On their way down they passed Courtney ' s father who came that after- noon. When they went by she looked at him, hut he had seen her coming and turned his back. After dinner she went back to her room ami tried to stud or work to keep from being homesick, but it was almost impossible. Se eral times she was tempted to find her father and ask him to take her back home, but remembering her promise she decided to stay. The next day her work began and she had no more time for idleness, the voice teacher praised her voice highly, hut said she WDuld ha e to work to make up for so many years that she had lost. Mrs. Baird had advised her to take only what was necessary to finish in voice. For two years she had worked hard, and she had seen her father only in the halls, but she dared not to talk to him for fear of being seen. One day Mrs. Baird called her into the office and said. I ha e been watching your work and have been pleased with it. Next week Professor Hall, the best voice teacher in St. Louis, is to give a concert. I have known him se eral years, so I am going to take yini to him. After the concert I am going to have you sing for him. and if he pronounces your oice worth cultivating your father is willing to do anything for you and willing to gi e yovi the best advantages he can. But if he says otherwise you will ha e to be content to be a teacher. Courtney could hardly realize that it was she whom Mrs. Baird meant. Her first thought was of her father and then she said, Oh Mrs. Baird, do you think it will be worth trying? I woidd do anything if I thought I could ever sing like Professor Hall and to please father. I think it is worth while or I would not take you. ' ' ou are to get ready to go by next W ednesda , the concert is Thursday night and (iu are not to say anything to the girls, no I don ' t want you to thank me, you will repay me by your work. ' ou may go now. Courtney went to her room almost like she was in a dream. For the next few davs she could think of nothing else. In a way she dreaded it ; cotdd she sing before him or woidd her voice fail ? and so much depended on his decision, she hardly dared 63 think about it. When the time came to go she saw her father for a tew minutes in Mrs. Baird ' s office. Remember daughter what this means and do not fail. Oh! father, I think if you could onl - be there I could do it, but that is impossible, and I will do nn best. She kissed him good-bye and went out to meet Mrs. Baird. It was only a few hours ride to the city and when they reached there, it was night. The next day Courtney practiced most of the time. When the appointed hour came she was so nervous she could hardly go, but remembering her father she controlled herself. When Prof. Hall began to sing she forgot everything else and only awoke when the curtain dropped and Mrs. Baird told her it was time to go. then she remem- bered that she was to sing. They went back of the stage and Mrs. Baird went to talk to the singer while she went in another room. She had only a few minutes to wait when a man came and took her in the presence of Professor Hall. Mrs. Baird came, stood by her. Professor Hall, this is Miss Thomas whom I was talking about. He came up to Courtney and talk ing her hand, with his pleasant talk soon made her feel at ease. When he asked her to sing she had lost all her nervousness and sang with courage. It was only a very simple song, but when she had finished he came up to her and said, You have a wonderful voice, Mrs. Baird has given me a great surprise, I expected nothing like it. Oh! then you think it will ever be worth anything? It was almost too good to be true. Mrs. Baird came forward and said, We will go now, Professor Hall does not care to be thanked, and he has his work, so we will not interrupt him longer, but in later years, when you ha c attained success he may know he has given you your first encouragement. Turning again he wished Courtney success and told them good-bye, and they soon were driven to the hotel. Mrs. Baird saw that Courtne x did not care to speak so she said nothing. The next day when they reached home she went into the oflSce and there met her father. Father, I don ' t think I will have to tell you what he said, you can guess and I will be so happy if it were not so hard on you. it will be so many ' ears before I can help. We will not think of the present, but will look forward to the future, it looks so bright now. Two more years she worked at the College, when she had finished her father secured work in New York and they went there for her to study. It was not always easy, for her father did not have work some of the time and she would have to earn their living. In order to finish, Courtney knew she would have to go abroad, so after a year in New York she and her father went to Paris and she began her work under Professor Bordeaux. It was one year later, Courtney was singing for the last time before the class. After her lesson, the teacher called her into his office and said, I have two offers here for one of my pupils. The Sultan of Sulu has written asking me to send some one to sing in the concert which he gives every year; the other a contract for a year ' s work in Russia. If you make a success in this first, I will gi e you this other. 64 Oh yes, I will be so glad to try, but I would like to talk with my father about it first — do you lia e to know it now? she asked. No. if you will let me know by to-morrow morning it will be all right. That night she and her father talked it over and she decided to go, but her father was to go with her to the illage close to which the Sultan lived. llie ne.xt morning the Professor told her more about it. The Sultan was the ruler of a small country in the East, it was not of much importance, but the splendor of his court equalled almost any of her larger European courts. E er ear he ga e a concert for the people of the court and at this she was to sing. It would be gi en in about two weeks, so Courtney and her father would leave Paris. The journey was through the most beautiful scenery of France and Switzerland. When they arrived, Air. Thomas went to the hotel in the small illage some miles from the Palace, but Courtney was met by one of the royal carriages and taken to the Palace. The concert was not to be until the next night, but several others who were to help in it had arri ed. Courtney was gi en a suite of rooms, and met none of the people until the next e ening, as she wished to rest after her Journey. But she managed to get a place for her father at the concert. When she came out on the stage to sing she thought only of him and his struggles to help her, and wished to sing only for him. Several time she was called back and after the concert a messenger canie from the Sultan, saying he wished to speak to her. When she came before him there were only a few guards standing near and these he waved aside. The Sultan arose and took a few steps forward, Miss Thomas sings well and she is beautiful, too beautiful to stay here to iing just for me and the people here? She may take several days to think it o er. It was such a surprise to Court- ney that it took her several seconds to understand what he said, but when she did, she thought he could not realize what he was sa ing, that she an American girl would marry him, who already had several wi es, so she said. No, I must decline the honor, I ma become what I am, so I am going to work, and when I marry it will be an American and until then I shall sing. This resolve has not been left unfulfilled b Courtney. 65 . V. A. Ol I ICI KS (ftjuufc (R(wv. 0 ' .i3-ISr KojoJiy -(fotLk, fi oM.

Our Religious Work 4 HIS is the second ear of our ouiii; Women ' s Auxiliary, the purpose of M (r which is to instruct the mcmhers as to the needs and possibilities of our i mission fields and help them to become more familiar with God ' s word. We have an enrollment of 125, and the attendance upon the Tuesday afternoon meetings is large. Some of the meetings are conducted entirel by the students, and some are con- ducted by different members of the Faculty, on subjects pertaining to our organized work, and also Bible Study. This year we have had 18 Mission study classes: 4 have studied Brazillian sketches ; 4 Western Women in eastern lands ; 5 have studied Servants of the King ; and 5, Our Home Mission Task. Some of these classes have been conducted by teachers and some by pupils. To Miss Phillips, Miss Helton, Miss Morris and Mr. Anderson, we wish to extend our appreciations for their faithfulness to this work, and to others we will try to pass on the good that we have received at their hands. In February, ten of our most earnest students, with Mr. Johnson, attended the La_ men ' s Convention in Jackson. They brought back to us inspiration and a desire for better things. Last session we met in the Girls ' parlor immediately after supper each evening for a few moments of prayer. As we now occupy two buildings we have two gather- ings, one in each Dormitory for this twilight prayer ho n- except when we have ser- vices at the church. As the weather gets warmer we have the meetings on the campus. The inspiration and impressions of these brief daily meetings will go with us always. The Y. W. A. girls and some of the others still keep up the custom established last year of bringing a two-cent stamp to the breakfast table every Sunda - morning as a thank-ofifering. This is within the reach of every one and cultivates the habit of systematic giving. Besides this, we make special offerings for different pliases of the work. Personal Service has been especially emphasized. We ill have quite a num- ber this year to receive Diplomas for the S. S. Training course, and some will receive seals for other work done. We have this session had this for our aim : To do the following things faithfully each day, that we may obtain a clearer vision of the needs and opportunities of our times, a finer realization of our duty, and a fuller knowledge of God. 1. Attend the Tuesday meetings of the ' ' oung Women ' s Auxiliar) . 2. Take the Mission Study Work. 3. Attend the Twilight Prayer Meetings. 4. Read the Daily Bible Readings. 5. Bring a two-cent stamp to the breakfast table every Sunday morning. Be what thou seemeth. live thy creed; Hold up to earth a torch divine. Be what thou prayest to be made ; Let the great Master ' s steps be thine. 67 •■v S DiriE BORR = i lS X President Jonn Lipscomb Jonnson, Jr. Trj relieve the upprcssed. In virtue rieh : in blessing others, blessed. N THE economy of God ' s own wisdom, men are selected for the discharge of specific duties out of which humanit is to receive the soothing touch of sympathy on the brow fevered with numberless cares and friendless con- tacts, and with such men He does protect the weaker and more unfortunate. Is it too much to claim that the subject of this sketch is one of God ' s elect to ful- fill a high and noble purpose? The very atmosphere of his birth and rearing to- gether with his education and culture warrants this claim ; the trend of his nature and the desire of his heart warrants this claim; his very conception of life translated into deeds of service warrants this claim; and last, but not least, the very influence of his consecrated life partner warrants this claim. Born in V ' irginia, the oldest son of Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Johnson, in his early childhood, his parents moved to the University of Mississippi, where for many years his father was the efficient head of the ilepartment of English. His mother was Julia Anna Toy, sister to Dr. Crawford H. Toy. Professor of (Oriental Languages in Harvard Universit} ' , and Dr. Walter D. Vox, Professor of Romance Languages in North Carolina University. From the State University he received his bachelor ' s degree and from Mississippi College the degree of A. AL Later on he pursued his studies in Berlin and Paris. After having held some of the most prominent public school superintendencies in Georgia, in 1901 he moved to Alississippi, to become ' ice-President of Hillman College and later President of the same institution. In 1905, Professor Johnson was called to the Chair of Modern Languages in Mississippi College, and at once was recognized as one of the strongest in that group of strong educators, and during his six years incumbency in that famous institution of learning, he left discernable traces of a virile and an independent mind, emancipated from the influence of conventionalities, and devoted to the search for truth and the welfare of his students. No one can be a successful teacher, nor even enio the work of a teacher, that does not ha e an insight into the human soul and a deep s mpathy with e ery condition of social life. Without attempting a complete analysis of our subject ' s characteristics, it is safe to assert that the intense ami ardent fire of his soul gives to his students that genial warmth so necessary to the full friiitage of educa- tional activities. 68 Although God moves in a in sterious way, ' yet, he calls to service those suited to the immediate demands. In the u isdom of Providence, it came into the minds of Mississippi Baptists that there was an urgent need for a colletje devoted to the etluca- tion of the Baptist yoimg women of the State. At the Gulfport convention, in l )ll, the plans for such an institution were perfected and adopted, and soon after, the iioard of Trustees called Professor Johnson to its Presidency Realizing the arduous task heforc him and trusting in no wisdom short of leader- ship of the Holy Spirit, Professor Johnson laid hold of his work with a zeal that knows no dauntmg and a knowledge that fears no failure, and with a wisdoiu whose conformity and loyalty were identical with the will of God, he has hrought order and success out of that difficult situation. One cannot review the successes with which this institution has met vithout a sence of increased admiration of the energy and real patriotism behind Professor Johnson ' s work and purpose, for the betterment (jf the home is the greatest work in human economy, the development of Christian woman- hood a guarantee of the Christian home, and to this noble undertaking Professor and Mrs. J. L. Johnson, Jr., have consecrated their li es. For a ninnber of ears he was Chairman of tlie La men ' s Executive Committee of the Baptist denomination in Mississippi. In this position he has made addresses in every part of the State and has thus done nuich to stir the denomination ' s interest in the Mission cause. He is called on more often to make Commencement addresses than perhaps any other layman in the State. As a speaker. Professor Johnson has that secret power that grips and holds an audience; as a writer, his pen is facile, sentences rounded, and expression pleasing; as a ni.an, a genial companion and a patriotic citizen. It would be unbecoming to close this sketch without at least word in reference to the other half of this distinguished eilucator. I mean the splendid little Georgia woman who has for ears been his chief inspiration. No garland could be placed upon her brow that would not be richh deserved. None know her but to love her; None name her but to praise. Even a less brilliant and capable man than her talented husband would ha e at- tained eminent success with such a help meet. What may we not expect when her lo ely womanliness and his brilliant gifts and scholarship are united with accomplish- ment of a noble purpose. W. T. LOWREY. A. J. AvEx. 69 UTERARY SOCIETIES np=a ?

Ten Commanaments . (By which Miss O ' Marci ahides) Thou shalt have no opinion apart from the doctor ' s. Thou shalt not make unto thee an)- plans apart from the doctor ' s. Thou shalt not disclose anythins; the doctor says, for he will not hold her guiltless who discloses what he says. Remember the doctor ' s instructions to keep them wholly. Honor the doctor, that thy term of service may he short in the ward in which the doctor doth make you stay. Thou shalt not kill — the patient, but thou mayest do anything else to her. Thou shalt have no respect unto the wishes of the patient. Thou shalt not deem that the patient has any judgment. Thou shalt not bear ill will against thy patient, but clamly ignore all her whims. Thou shalt not forget thy patient ' s doses nor her diet, nor her bath, nor mes- sages, nor her hypodermics, or anything that is thy patient ' s. And all the pupils saw the greatness of her successes, and the magnitude of importance and all the pupils said Amen. Talk health. The dreary, ne er-changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale.

Good-Bye, God Bless Tou I like the Anglo Saxon speech With its direct revealing; It takes a hold, and seems to reach ' Way down into our feelings, That some folks deem it rude, I know, And therefore they abuse it. I don ' t object that men should air The Gallic they have paid for, With Au Re oir, Adieu ma chere. For that ' s what French was made for, But when a crony takes your hand As parting to address you. He drops all foreign lingo and He says Good-bye, God bless you ! This seems to me a sacred phrase. With reverence impassioned ; A thing come down from righteous day, Quaintly but nobly fashioned. It will become an honest face, A voice that ' s round and cheerful ; It stays the study in his place And sooths the weak and fearful. Into the porches of the ears It seals with subtle unction, And in your heart of heart appears, To work its gracious function And all day with pleasing song; It lingers to caress you ; I ' m sure no human heart goes wrong That ' s told Good-bve, God bless you!

Charles Darwin. Darwin ' s words apply with particular force to boys and girls who intend to devote themselves to business. This is pre-eminently an age of business. The men who are the big men to-day are business specialists, men who have been trained from the little jobs up to the big ones. No matter what occupation you intend to follow, no matter what business ou ultimately enter — there is one training that this Age of business makes absolutely indespensable, and that is— board business training. We train young men and women here to enter the business world. We train them so that they can rise to position of responsibility. They are snapped up by the business men who demand efficiency and cannot abide people with- out training. The work here is clean, pleasant and interesting, because it is practical. This is the period of the year you make resolutions. We recommend ou to think of that little truth of Darwin ' s. Then come and see us about the opportunities this school affords. J. P.
