Choctaw Faculty LOCAL BOYS MAKE GOOD AT CLINTON Jackson Studes Show ities of Leadership, Records Would Show The proximity of Mississippi College to Jackson and the growing popularity of the college with Jackson students have resulted in the playing of an increasingly important part In the student activities. Both those who have driven over each day and those who have been resident in the college have participated actively in class and student body affairs. The class of 1935, our incoming Junior Class, has spent its first two years under the presidencies of Jacksonians. During his Freshman year Zachary T.

Hederman, well known throughout his high school days for qualities of leadership, piloted the class with marked success. Hederman was succeeded at the conclusion of his term of office by another Jackson student, Paul Davis. His work during the past session at the helm of his class has been acclaimed as among the best ever -done. Davis has. been elected Secretary-Treasurer of the student body for next session.

Nell Worthy, another was secretary-treasurer of the Sophomore class this session. Prominent in the Pre-Med Club activities of the school this session were Messrs. L. -L. and J.

p. Fatheree of the Capital City, -while in the Dramatic Club activities of the year Misses Jessie Mae Carlisle, Mary Lenore Converse, NeU Worthy, and Catherine-Ward were prominent. The Mississippi College Band, one of the most popular in the South, had in its personnel Clifford Mcintosh, Thomas G. Mead-ers, and Robert Howell, all of Jackson. Thomas Meaders was chosen by his bandmasters to serve as Assistant Business Manager for the 1933-34 session.

In the religious life of the college David Cranford and J. K. Pettus were outstanding participants, while among the athletic contenders Wayne Alliston, W. W. Ferguson, Zachary T.

Hederman, L. H. Dennis, and Paul Davis were leaders. Cully Magee was quite Interested in all the scientific interests of the school, particularly Chemistry. The Jackson group of the 1932-34 session consisted of Wayne Alliston.

The unexcelled rating of Mississippi College with the accrediting associations and the graduate schools becomes more evident with every report Irom the progress or our students pursuing graduate instruction and from constant letters from Deans and other officials In the best graduate schools la America. The college itself has not followed a boastful policy in regard to Its rating, feeling that the recognition of its work by the best in America is in itself a loud testimony. Itecoznlzins the fact that standards of scholarship must be constantly under study, the present administration is giving a great deal of time and study to the maintenance and improvement of the already unexcelled standards. The Southern Association of Colleges is the only accrediting agency for Southern colleges. Mississippi College has been a prominent member of this association for some time.

Mississippi College is also a member of the American Association of Colleges, and has actively participated in the work of the Association. Dr. D. M. Nelson is now serving as President of the Mississippi Association of Colleges.

la addition to these literary affiliations of importance Mississippi College is one of the oldest members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. One of our faculty members has been, president of this association for many years. He is re-elected by acclamation each year because of his splendid exemplification of the principles of clean sportsmanship advocated by Mississippi college. Mississippi College graduates have been accepted by the most outstanding graduate and professional schools without question for years. Many of these students have received fellowships, scholarships, and instructorships in the ration's leading graduate schools.

Even in these years of elimination and restriction of graduate fellowship and scholarships Mississippi College men have been remarkably successful in obtaining such posi tions. Another testimony to the excellent standards of scholarship advocated by Mississippi College is the fact that she has given from her walls more college presidents than any other college in the state. Her alumni have taught successfully in such schools as Columbia university, John Hopkins. Yale. Illinois University.

Leland Stanford Unlver-ity, Iowa University, University of California. University of North Carolina. University of Tennessee, Harvard University, and many other prominent schools. la every profession Into which groups of Mississippi College men have entered they rank unusually high. Medicine, Law, Teaching, Ministry, and other leading professions find larg groups of Mississippi College men at the very top.

DEMOCRACY KEY TO CAMPUS LIFE Fine Spirit Displaced at Clinton Institution Marvel to Visitors "Mississippi College students impress me as the happiest and most congenial I have ever come la contact with." observed a visitor recently. His observation hit upon one of the most vital principles of the college the principle of abso lute democracy and an enviable family spirit among and between faculty and students. Positively no distinctions in favor are practiced oy the administration nor by the student body. Both groups recog nize and commend individual ex cellence in the class room and out. but neither group permit discrimination against a student because of inherent disabilities.

They rath er such students to. their hearts' with the sympathetic and brotherly desire to help. This policy of recognition and commenda tion of individual excellence wita the attendant policy of absolute re fusal to discriminate against students with handicaps to overcome has resulted In two triumphs the like of which few colleges can boast. First, Mississippi College students of the first rank have gone as far as the very best. Second, the students who came to Mississippi College with handicaps have thru her policy of sympathetic understanding surmounted the handicaps rising to peaks of unusual usefulness.

Some men now at the very peak of Mississippi public and professional life were helped in th's way, in Mississippi College. In the student activities of tne college the same fine spirit of com--plete democracy and non-discrimination because of handicaps exists. There is "one price to all." one policy of love, helpfulness, and sympathy for all Mississippi College student with the result that there is ONE, UNDIVIDED, CLOSELY KNIT. SYMPATHETIC. AND TRIUMPHANT GROUP KNOWN AND PELT AS THE MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE STUDENT BODY.

Give Concrete Reasons Why Youths Should Come to Mississippi College The most invincible publicity agents Mississippi College has are her studentsthose who know her best and love Jier more as they know her more completely.

Ralph Reeves, Physics Fellow, Director of B. P. Us Many other student testimonies have been offered, but space does not permit "their appearance here.

Ask ANY Mississippi College student ANYWHERE about Mississippi College. His enthusiastic testimony will sustain even more the above. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE IS A THOUGHTFUL MOTHER: MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE MEN ARE GRATEFUL SONS! -Ask Them! RELIGION ISiPART OF COLLEGE LIFE Christian Training Essential Part of Educational Program at 1VLC. Mississippi College has taken care that through the almost phenomenal growth she has experienced since 1920 the great characteristic emphasis religious not suffer in the haste of growth, powerful evidence of the success of the emphasis is the fact that for the past two sessions the religious activities of Mississippi College have won coveted FIRST MAGNITUDE award from the Department of outhwide Baptist student work. Few colleges each year win this award, there being only 17 schools to win the award in the entire Southern area consisting of eighteen states.

Not only does the college stress formal religious activity as in the Sunday School classes, B. Y. P. but it also encourages the' smaller informal prayer groups and the like. The environment is permeated with an intensity of spirit ual interest.

D. M. NELSON wise person who is in the market for a commodity has at least two concerns cost and quality. Likewise the prospective college student would doweE1 to consider what he receives for what he is required to pay. The price of an article is not the only criterion of a bargain.

When I was a boy, I bought a suit of. clothes for five dollars. At the-time of purchase in the dim light of the store, the suit looked perfectly all right. On exposing it to sunlight and subjecting it to wear, however, glaring defects in tne warp and woof of the fabric showed up and even the color changed. Some commodities are expensive, no matter how small the cost, it is always safer and wiser to traae with a long established and thoroughly reliable firm and purchase standard merchandise.

The same statement could be made about going to college. One should seek the proven and the best. Mississippi College, with one hundred and seven years of glorious history, is sucn a college. Tuition and Fees The general fees and tuition at Mississippi College amount to $132. This Is the cash rate for all.

There are no ups and downs. All are treated alike. library Fee Two dollars of this amount is the library fee. This gives the student access to 15,000 choice books. He can spend all of his spar time, day and night, reading as many of these volumes as it is possible for him to read, making friends with the great minds and spirits of tne past and present.

He has access to the library every houri that it is open, with expert library assistance, all for the very small fee of two dollars. Medical Fee Ten dollars of the $132.00 is used to furnish hospitalization and medical service to 1 the student. No matter how many visits the doctor has to make or how many times the student has to go to the hospital, the fee remains the same. This is the best and; cheapest medical insurance a person could have. Many members of the faculty pay this fee and take advantage of this opportunity.

-Athletic or Physical Education Feel Another ten dollars is used for physical training; and admission to athletic contests. The cost of tickets to games will amount to more than the physical education fee. in addition, students have free access to the gymnasium and expert direction in physical culture, as well ag intensive training', in athletic games. Matriculation Fee The matriculation fee of ten dollars is used in providing record blanks and in keeping proper records of students, and in furnishing transcripts of records, of work done upon Jeaving college. Tuition The tuition proper Is $100.00.

This Is" used to give expert Instruction in the arts and sciences and in the way to complete living. Mississippi College has a corps of teachers unexcelled in training and experience. Eight of them have won the highest degree given by any educational Institution. All of them have spent many years in preparation for their work. The1 composite years of experience of the present faculty are 265.

These jneh are no only prepared to teach text books and give courses, but they know how to lead into life's supreme values. To sit at the feet of these great teachers is worth more than mere money can buy. Surely what a fruitful Mississippi: College student receives greatly outweighs what he pays. COLLEGE FACULTY MEN ON PLATFORM Professors Are Called Upon Daily for Addresses in Various Parts of State The Mississippi College faculty men are in general demand as speakers throughout Mississippi. They have appeared at many types of gatherings this session homecomings, revivals, school openings, student gatherings, denominational gatherings and commencement exercises.

Dr. Nelson, longtime favorite speaker in Mississippi gatherings, has filled many engagements in every section of the state. He is exceedingly popular in every type of denominational and school meetings and was forced to decline a number of calls this session due to the very, heavy schedule already made. A Other faculty speakers of nopu- larity are. Dean W.

Sumrall, Professor Chester Swor. Dr. m. O. Patterson, Prof .1 A.

A Kitchens, Mr. W. A Hancock, and Dr- J. W. provine.

These filled manjr engagements throughout the state. Outside the state Mr. Swor filled several dasTs of speaking engagements at Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, and at Rice Institute, Houston, Texas. Of the splendid Jackson group in attendance at Mississippi College cot a one failed to enjoy his or her work in the state's oldest college this session. Virtually all of them were loud in their praise or their chosen alma mater, statements from a few of them are published herein.

"My original attachment to Mississippi College was a family attachment, but before my first wetfe as a student there the attachment had become Intensely personal. My two years In that magnificent school have greatly enhanced my personal love and loyalty for it. I used to HEAR that Mississippi College was the best college in the world for me. Now I KNOW it is. All honor to Mississippi College." says Zachary T.

Hederman, prom inent Mississippi college ssuaen. -In Mississippi College I have Just completed my Fre-Medlcal work. I am firm in my belief that I have secured there the finest preliminary work possible. I shall always appreciate Mississippi College." says L. I.

Fatheree, pre-med student from Jackson. -I have come love everything about the college. But particularly do I enjoy the opportunities afforded by what I consider as the South's best college band Mississippi College band. In it I am receiving a wonderful Musical education, cot only without charge but actually with compensation, since the Band is a National Guard organization." enthusiastically sars Clifford Mcintosh, a sophomore. shall always be happy that I completed my college education in Mississippi College.

It is not oar all I had ever dreamed of as a great college but even more! My life will always be much richer because of Mississippi College," says Jessie Mae Carlisle, graduated two weeks ago from Mississippi College. "I am grateful to Mississippi College for many things." writes Wayne AUiston. recent graduate, "but a-bove all I thank my alma mater for the constant proclamation of principles which I know will become more definite assets to my life with every passing year." And thus Jackson students have come to regard their chosen alma mater after close persona! contact with her. The other students from the capital city were equally as enthusiastic M. C.

DEGREE IS HONORED ABROAD Another indication or the esteem in which the work of Mississippi College is held is the letter from the French Consul in New Orleans, which letter is given below. It came to President Nelson late last Fall. The fact that so many Mississippi College students are from time to time doing graduate work abroad makes this letter of more importance. The communication follows: The president. Mississippi College.

Clinton. Mississippi. Dear Sir: I take pleasure in advising you that, by a decree of the Frcaiclh Minister of National Education, by" date of October 1932 the Diplomas Of BACHELOR OP ARTS, and BACHELOR OF SCIENCE Issued by your institution are admitted as equivalents of the French BACCALAUREATE and therefore, American students holding such diplomas and who so desire, may enter the school of "enseignement cr the French Universities.

June 4, Monday Summer Session opens. GRADUATES DOING EXCELLENT WORK Mississippi College Offers Excellent Ground Work for Further Study It is the policy of Dean W. H. Sumrall to keep a constant check upon the Mississippi College men who have attended and who are now attending the various graduate schools. These men.

have always succeeded In a marked degree, bringing unusual commendation to themselves and to their college In this column are given' a few typical testimonies from officials in graduate schools in regard to the type of work done by Mississippi College men. Dean Sumrall has collected a great mass of such statements, but these few are representative. Dr. G. H.

Chase, Dean of the Graduate School of. Arts and Sciences at Harvard University writes, "The men who have come to us from Mississippi College have made excellent records. A similar statement comes from Dean Musser of New York University, who says, "The graduates of Mississippi Col lege are well qualified for gradu ate work; and we are glad to admit them to the Graduate school of New York University for further study without excess From Registrar J. R. Robinson of Peabody comes this statement: 'We have found that graduates of Mississippi College have done very acceptable work in our Graduate School.

We admit them without condition." Dean W. H. Harper the Texas University Graduate School likewise writes, "We should be glad to have more graduates of the caliber of the men you send us for graduate study." "Your graduates have done well in our, Graduate School," says Dean A. B. Moore of the Alabama University Graduate School.

Every Mississippi College graduate who has attended Tulane University Medical School has made a record of either "good," "very satisfactory," or "excellent." two of three students who have attended Harvard University from Mississippi College within the last five years made straight records, there fore ranking at the very top in Harvard. The third student maae a record of A minus in all his worK. foregoing statements are irrefutable evidence of the very hteh esteem in which the work of Mississippi College is held throughout the nation. Parents and prospective students may draw their own conclusions regarding our standing with the foremost graduate schools throughout America from, these testimonies. College graduates live within the State of Mississippi while the others are scattered throughout the world.

Mississippi College graduates who made average marks of A on their work in college have an average Income of $4336.00. Those graduates who made averages of have an annual Income of $4,026.00. Those graduates who made an average of have an annual income of $2,824.00. This Interesting tabulation not only proves the monetary value of a college education, but It also proves very definitely the vast importance of doing the best work possible while in college. Likewise in many other fields of endeavor have Mississippi College graduates succeeded with remarkable work.

The many branches of business find Mississippi1 men figuring prominently; engineering, public welfare work, journalism, music, radio science, aeronautics, and the like have received and watched the successes of a splendid group of our students. DID YOU KNOW; THAT THAT Mississippi College was founded in 1826, just nine years after became a state? That she has furnished two governors for Mississippi and two for Arkansas? THAT she has contributed two State Supreme Court Judges in recent years, one in Mississippi and one in Oklahoma? That five of distinguished sons have served the state as Congressmen within the last decade? THAT fifteen of her graduates have served in this and other states as College Presidents during the last quarter of a century? That a score or more of others have distinguished themselves as professors in universities and colleges throughout the country? THAT four of the Senior College Presidents in Mississippi are graduates of Mississippi College, and another a former student. THAT twenty-five per cent of the County Superintendents of Education are graduates or former students?

STUDENTS GIVEN CHANCE TO EARN Mississippi college has never practiced ''giving" a student his way through college, but she has made possible college education' for hundreds of industrious students through the provision of student aid and self help. The past few years have found Mississippi College aris ing to meet the stringent situation In her characteristic sympathy. During the session just closed virtually every student who had to have self help to remain in school was provided for by the college in some way.

A self help club with accommodations for approximately seventy students functioned very successfully this session. Each student in the club was assigned some type of duty the performance of which reduced his expenses for the session approximately forty five dollars. Campus responsibilities and care-taking of all buildings on the campus are placed In the hands of dents under a supervisor. To students with good records in the various departments there are always open fellowships, lab UV structorships, and the like. The remuneration for these tasks varies.

A number oil openings for college students always occur in Clinton. Students who can make no 'Other possible arrangement to remain in college ordinarily form a "batching club" in which the participating students get room and board at minimum prices. Quite a few stu dents remained in Mississippi Col lege tins session through this means. Thus Mississippi College aims to help many students some instead of helping a few students MUCH. Concrete Example Of Value Of College Work Is Shown Average Choctaw Graduates Income is $3,655 Per Tear, Survey Compiled by Dean Sumrall Reveals; Students Having Highest Average Making Most Money Dean Sumrall made a very thorough study of the Mississippi College graduates and former students recently, and the results of his study are very illuminating.

That it pays to go to college is no longer a question, according to Dr. sumrall's findings. Among many other interesting disclosures these few are mentioned here: The average annual Income of Mississippi College graduates is The average annual income of graduates brothers who entered college but did not graduate is The average annual Income of the brothers who did not enter college Is $2,262.00.
