MILLSAPS COLLEGE
JOHN CODBOLD, BUSINESS MANAGER
H5W,
With the inauguration of President M. L. Smith, a new
chapter was begun in the history of Millsaps College.
As we turn the first page of the new chapter, it is natural
that we also look back at the yellowed but still splendid
pages of the first chapter, begun almost fifty years ago,
in the days when buggies and bicycles-built-for-two sped
up muddy State Street to bring a handful of students to
the new school. Styles and customs have changed, but
the ideals and high standards of those first years are still
respected. To pay tribute to those teachers and students
who made those early days memorable, and to symbolize
the linking of the traditions of the past and the aspirations
of the future in the building of a Greater Millsaps, we
have chosen as the theme for the 1939 Bobashela the date
of founding of Millsaps College-- 1892.

BEBICATIO
In paying tribute to the past, its traditions,
ideals, and its people, we are reminded of one who
remembers well the "Gay Nineties" and who with
priceless bits of philosophy and delightful humor
has recalled those days for us and made them live
again as he tells his anecdotes in the classroom.
Not only has he brought numbers of honors to
Millsaps College through personal achievement
and through innumerable services to the school,
but he has made for himself a permanent place in
the hearts of the students he has taught. And so
it is to Professor J. Reese Lin, our "guide, philoso-
pher and friend" to whom we respectfully dedi-
cate this volume.
MELVIN AT MILLSAPS
Once upon a time there was a high school senior who for purposes of publication
we shall designate as Melvin Wood.
And Melvin had always determined that when the time came he would certainly
go to Millsaps because his father had gone to Millsaps and his brother had
gone to Millsaps and the times that they had had could only be weakly
described as good;
They were more than good; they were swell;
And Melvin had determined that the same were in store for little Mel.
So he put away his thoughts of high school and pondered about the fun he was
going to have and came out to Millsaps and looked at all the beauties of the
campus — of one sort and another — that surround us
And then he saw Foundus.
Now Founders Hall had been seen by Melvin before when he and his father and
his brother came to Jackson for the inauguration of one of Millsaps" presi-
dents,
But not as a potential residents.
No, he had merely viewed it as a building on the campus that maybe had been
in style once.
Now, however, he viewed it as building where his sleeping and laughing and
talking and telephoning would take place for the next number of monce.
Momentarily Melvin was cast into gloom,
And then he reflected that after all what was a room
And after all what fun was a dormitory that was as well furnished as a house;
Was he man or mouse.
And Melvin said, "Father, I have thought it all over, and I have concluded that
if Founders is part of Millsaps, I love Founders because I subscribe to the
school of My Country right or wrong, but if wrong, still my country."
And his tolerant father thought it all over too and decided this was not
effrontery
So he said, "Very well, Melvin, we'll go talk it over with U. Z."
Which they did, with the result of loss of money to Mr. Wood, and loss of
prestige to Freshman Wood, because he stopped being a senior automatically.
Since there are a number of pictures for you to look at and see some of the
things Melvin saw, we will take leave of our Freshman feeling few of the
sensations experienced by Ferdinand when he contemplated flowers.
For by this time Melvin is established in Founders, feeling anything but peace-
ful when he tries to solve the eternal and sphinx-like problem of the
Founder's showers.
DR. M. L. SMITH
€Ae PRESIDENT
In the short time that Dr. Smith has been President of Millsaps
College, every member of the student body has been influenced by the friend-
liness and personal interest shown them by the President. An excellent
scholar and a man of foresight and unlimited industry, Dr. Smith, by his
work this year, has already indicated that his career as President will be a
glorious chapter in the history in the building of The Greater Millsaps.
DR. D. M. KEY
There are a number of forces
that have made Millsaps an out-
standing college, esteemed for
its high standards and enviable
record of achievement, but
among the strongest forces has
been the loyalty and vision of
Dr. D. M. Key. For the years
of faithful service to this "small
liberal arts college" — years dur-
ing which the light in his office
has burned late many a night as
he worked to help Millsaps keep
the honorable position it occu-
pies in the educational world,
we hereby express again the
appreciation of the student
body.
MRS. MARY B. STONE
Through the difficulties of
freshman year, to the day of
graduation, Millsaps girls have
always the assurance of a wise
and sympathetic counsellor as
well as teacher in Mrs. Mary B,
Stone. Through her interest in
women student activities, Mrs.
Stone has been a strong influ-
ence in forming well rounded
personalities as well as well
trained minds in the women
graduates.

1939 was a gala year for Millsaps--first, the inauguration of
the new president, Dr. Smith, and then, for the first time, the cele-
bration of Founders Day. In the pictures below:
Dr. Robert Lester of New York City speaks at the inauguration
of Dr. Smith; Hugh Clegg, former student of Millsaps, visits the
campus; Dr. Smith takes the oath of office; the Glee Club sings at
Founders Day celebration; Mr. Clegg speaks on Founders Day;
Seniors take part in the celebration.

CLASSY, WHAT?
Well, where did we leave Melvin? Oh, yes, he went to Millsaps and then he
went to classes and then he went crazy
Because he saw right off that if you worked real had on Freshman Lit and
wrote your weekly impressions you couldn't get up all your trig too and then
Van Hook thought you were lazy.
So then if you tried to get up English Monday and then on Wednesday get up
trig, (which is planned economy, the Russians inform us)
The English assignment on Monday would be trivial and on Wednesday it would
be enormous.
Anyway, he was not alone in these troubles involving education
As he realized after a little meditation.
So Melvin said, ''I will bestir myself and meet my class-mates —
"My a-making mates and my fail-mates and my pass-mates —
"Eds, and coeds, for misery loves company,
"And I might as well know a bunch of people to whom I can be grumpy if I
care to grumpany."
So Melvin bestirred himself. He went to the grill and he never took a girl, he
just stood there, smiled aloofly and ate candy.
Which led coeds to reflect that at dances he would be handy.
In the future they were nice to Melvin, and that made him happy, which all
Millsaps students should be, according to our president, M. L. S.
Whis is a noble sentiment, we must confess.
Melvin learned that there is a vicious circle which is said to be the last word in
educational (vicious) circles.
Which works this way: you make all B's because you go to class regularly and
so you are on the Dean's list and not required to go to class and this is a
great honor. So, lest no one realize that you have this great honor you cut
a few classes and then you cut a few more and then you take the exam and
you don't have the B average and then you go to class next semester and get
back your B average and so it goes until you feel that life is just a series of
ups and downs and wails and gurgles.
He was handy in bull sessions too because he read Readers Digest and Time
and Life
And had an excellent memory which could always produce a gorier murder con-
cerning knives whenever someone in the state was murdered with a knife.
He developed the nonchalance of a dean's-list-student-cutting-for-the-thir-
teenth-time which he employed in walking out of class fifteen minutes early
or coming in fifteen minutes tardy,
And he was not particular pious, but on the other hand, he wasn't nardy.
So he was popular among the students whose pictures are represented on the
following pages, with gay ninety borders hemmin' in.
Probably because there is no one of them who did not have at least one of the
attributes attributed to Melvin, except that according to the Millsaps college
bulletin, March 1939, 165 of the attributes may be considered as applying
to the feminine.

OUT TO THE BALL GAME
Hurrah for the professors, hurrah for U. Z too,
And if you are a Choctaw, — then you know the rest of the chant we chant when
we are enchanted by a half-back or quarter-back breaking through.
But most especially, on this occasion, hurrah for U. Z., surnamed Hathorn,
Upon whom we sometimes vent our wrath and teases when we want a good
sport to tease or vent or wrathorn.
U. Z., however, is worthy of merit.
Because his is one of the major sponsors of the major school sperit.
I make this remark because you all know that he is sorta funny
About money.
But we really shouldn't criticize when we stop to think about it because among
other monies that he takes is $15 for student activity.
Which solves a number of problems throughout the year, the main one being
that we need never miss a campus ball-game, even if the bread-line is in
dangerous proclivity.
For out of the $15 comes our tickets to all of the football games and basketball
and just ball games in general,
And we need never stop to reflect that we are traitors to the purple and white
just because we spent our last fifty cents for animal vegetable or mineral.
No stiff backbone do we need, no budget, no question of endurance
At least, where campus ball-games are concerned, because U. Z., the nice man,
has taken over and gives us the Student Activity Fee as insurance.
Therefore we go to the football games and basketball games et al
And U. Z. is our pal.
Because it is through him that we have seen in action and color the people and
passes that live again in the following pages in black and white;
It is through him that we are able to share the thrills of the various games
whether they be played in the afternoon or at night.
It is he that sees that uniforms are brought and lights are lighted and balls are
put up safely after the game and likewise visiting teams
So it seems
That we are not amiss in proclaiming this to be
A hurrah for U. Z.

TRANNY LEE GADDY
Head Football Coach
B. O. VAN HOOK
Director of Athletics
This year's squad ended the march of two generations of Major gridsters
through the hands of Head Coach T. L. Gaddy. From his first year, when
he produced a championship team. Coach Gaddy showed that he could inspire
Millsaps' small and inexperienced teams to play football far above their heads.
Three lean years in a row with lack of material started the Majors out on
a hard road in 1938. A head injury to Robert Cox, co-captain of the Militants,
at the first of the season deprived Coach Gaddy of his best running back.
In spite of the loss through injuries of two more varsity backs, Mike
McElhaney and Bert Sumrall, the Majors kept digging in all season. Against
eleven strong opponents the Militants gained but one victory, yet managed to
hold their enemies to close scores.
Coach Gaddy leaves Millsaps at the end of his eighth year, with wishes of
the best of luck from the students who have and will continue to admire him
as a leader of men.
52
S an^ SQUAD
FOR YEARS TO COME
Upon the resignation of his friend and former
coach, T. L. Gaddy, Henry L. ''Hook" Stone agreed
to lead the Militant march on the gridiron, begin-
ning with spring practice in 1939.
Coach Stone comes to Millsaps with a record of
eight state championships for his ten years as coach
of the Copiah-Lincoln Wolfpack.
With the growth of "Greater Millsaps", bringing
with it a better choice of gridiron material, the Pur-
ple wheel of fortune is due to swing around again
to the point where Coach Gaddy first placed cham-
pion Majors on the field.

Rating among the first five in the Dixie Conference all season, the Major
courtmen were constant threats for the Dixie Conference Tourney title. Though
they dropped out of the Dixie Conference Tourney in the semi-finals, the
Majors boasted the two highest scorers in the loop. They were Keyes Currie,
conference leader, and Cannon "Shotgun" Herron, second gun in the Dixie.
Against the powerful Clinton Choctaws Coach Van Hook's men had heart-
breaking luck. Both of the first games with the Tribesmen slipped through
the Majors' fingers by margins of one point each. Twice in the second con-
test the game rested in the hands of Captain Keyes Currie, but the iron ring
twice turned a cold shoulder to the Majors' efforts to sink the deciding free shot.
Besides Currie's brilliant, unorthodox shots the long tosses of Herron and
John Thompson were not less important in keeping the Militants in the front
ranks of the Dixie Conference.

Improved fielding this year behind steady hurlers started the
Major diamondmen on a successful season. Only a lack of heavy
hitters kept the Militants from being one of the leading Southern
nines. Herbert Selman with his slow rolling ball led the Majors
in most of their victories. Other Top moundmen were Charlie Ward,
Wallace Litton, Brandon Bell, "Doc" Hamilton, George Todd and
Kelton Lowry. Stars of the infield were Edward Matulich, fresh-
man, and Milan Richardson, sophomore. William Green and Eugene
Price turned in air-tight performances in the outfield. Samuels,
Ballard, Lester Cooper, and Edward Fleming in the infield; and
Eual Cooper and Charles Hammack in the outfield started most of
the time for the Majors. Red Wilson and Virgil Anders took time

TENNIS
Epperson, Thorne, Wright, Hudson.
Of the six members of the Major net squad four were freshmen,
one of whom. Earl Epperson, played No. 1 racket. Because of the
green material the Militants were on the little end of the score for
most of their matches. As the team consistently lost. Epperson
steadily won his contests. His only defeat of the season was at the
hands of the present national parks champion, Lou Faquin. Charles
Wright and O. D. Bonner will be lost to the team next year but the
freshmen under the leadership of Epperson should develop into a
champion foursome.

TRACK
With his squad almost double that of last year Coach Van Hook
found plenty of material to work with this year though not many
experienced trackmen. Because of a late start the Majors didn't
begin breaking the tape until late in the season. From the first,
however, Gordon Worthington, Bert Melton, and Joe Miles began
taking top honors in their events. In a triangle meet with Missis-
sippi College and Southwestern the Major cindermen captured more
first places than their opponents but failed to take the crown. Loss
of Herron in the distance events and Beard in the dashes gave Coach
Van Hook the task of developing new sprinters who will probably
step out ahead next season.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL
A harbinger of what is come under the "Greater Millsaps"
athletic program was the performance of the Minors on the gridiron.
After winning the majority of their games against powerful junior
college elevens, the Minors proceeded to give the Mississippi College
Papooses one of their first drubbings in years. It is hoped that
this was but a taste of the bitter dose that is to be dealt out next
year by the varsity to the ancient rivals. Edward Matulich, freshman
half-back danced through the opposition in a way that made Coach
Gaddy declare that it had been many years since Millsaps had pos-
sessed such a talented ball carrier. A strong line, which even out-
weighed the varsity, made it possible for Matulich to cash in on his
running ability.

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
In recent years there has been an inci^easing interest at
Millsaps in women's athletics. The program this year has in-
cluded intra-murals in which non-fraternity. Barbarian, and
sorority girls participated. The need for physical education in
colleges has been widely recognized and it is hoped that this
department, which has done such excellent work, will be rapidly
enlarged.

Under the capable leadership of Fielding "Bo"
Holloman, the official welcomers and general en-

in grand style. ''Bo" and Jean will be missed next
year, but "Teeny" and Kimble will be with us again
to cheer the Purple and White to victory.

THE GREEKS HAD A WORD FOR MELVIN
And the word, dear friends, was rushee,
Which, being translated, means the person a freshman is for a few precious
days when upper-class boys and girls are super-swell to under-class boys
and girls and often in the latter case, mushee.
Melvin, being a nice kid, and knowing how to take girls for granted and respect
senior men
Got along fine during those days (except on the occasion when he politely
smoked black cigars to the number of ten).
Of course he was interested when informed that of one of the groups Columbus
was the patron saint.
And somewhat confused when a rival group informed him that he would
probably hear that Columbus is an alumnus of the first group but to bear
in mind that he aint.
Then the first group when questioned by Melvin brought out documents to
prove it.
And he made up his mind to pledge and when his mind was all settled the other
bunch made up its collective mind to move it.
So they took Melvin into a small back room and introduced him to a couple
of other fellows
And they talked and talked and talked, saying that after all who was Colum-
bus- -America had been discovered by the Vikings already, and that the
Columbuses of the world were helpless unless diamonds were sold by the
Isabellows.
They said now you take Arnold McFee, that was a man for you.
He founded our noble fraternity and if you will wear this little piece of plaid
around your arm tomorrow, symbolizing that you are pledged to the clan
of McFee, we will simply adore you.
Then at last they let him go home and he sneaked in and didn't turn on the
lights because he was afraid that he would wake up the kid brother of a
chapter president who had already told everybody that he was going to
carry on in the family tradition and make his mark.
So rather than hear any more Melvin went to bed in the dark
And of all the luck he got in the wrong bed
And woke up the kid brother of the chapter president, so he didn't get to go to
sleep, because along about dawn he had to go Alpha Beta Gamma instead.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Melvin had not been at Millsaps long before he found that there were two series of
students;
The good ones, and the not-so-gudents.
And he discovered further that the good ones generally made not only good grades.
But likewise most of the honoraries, and whenever there were parades, they led the
parades.
And he sat and reasoned thus: "How can it be
"That all of these people who make good grades meet lab all afternoons and then on
Monday nights they go alternately to French and IRC
"And on Tuesday nights they go to glee club and help with the P&W and on Wednesday
night to pre-med club and on Thursday nights the boys go to frat meetings and the
girls have a town-boy date
"And on Friday night the preachers meet, and so it goes, and yet they generally look
pretty good and as if they hadn't sat up particularly late.
"It might not be so bad if they only had to go to the meetings because maybe they could
sit on the back rows and read a book,
"But they can't, because look ....
"The campus big-shots get elected to offices in these things
"And they have to get up programs and ask people to speak and decide what to eat at
banquets
"And if its a sorority, see a man to mow the house yard and see another man when the
first manquits.
"And therefore I don't see how under the sun
"They get it all done."
"I will tell you," responded an upperclassman who was an ODK, and this is what he
respondit:
"The more you belong to the less you have to do. and the way it works is this, as I
have found it:
"Let us say that you are expected to be on the IRC program, help make up the P&W.
ask a doctor to speak at pre-med club, report on the Christmas party plans for
Alpha Beta Gamma, and represent Millsaps at a Rotary meeting and you decide you
have therefore too much to do.
"Very well. There are two courses to follow. You can come down with a fall or spring
or regular (as the time of the year may be) case of flu,
"Or you can say, 'I'm sorry, Ross, I can't be on the program: I have too much to do:'
" 'I am sorry, Tom, I can't help with the P&W, and if you want any heads written, you'd
better get someone else to writum;'
" 'I am sorry. Junior or Earl, I can't call the doctor; I have too much to do.' and so on
ad infinitum.
"And they all realize that you are supposed to do all these other things and they all say
with the wisdom of two dozen Minervas,
" 'You are right, and I will get somebody else to do it,' and thus you are spared a break-
down modified by nervous.
"So then you can cram for a test if you have to or do whatever you choose,
"And what have you to lose!"
"You are right," said Melvin, "You are absolutely right."
And he went out and joined a club that night.
And the next night he joined another and he wrote for the paper i one newstory every
other week)
And one day he tried out for a play and got a walk on part with three words to speak;
The play took a little time because twice he had to go and practice and say "Dinner is
served"
But from his purpose he never swerved.
And he worked and worked and worked, apparently, and finally his reward came and he
was made happy and his frat brothers even happier
Because on tap day he was the only freshman in the long and lionorable history of Mill-
saps to be tapped by Omicron Delta Kappier.
So here he is a big shot right off the bat--a big shot to start with
Which is a pretty good time,
I guess to part with
Melvin, the pride of Millsaps and Alpha Beta Gamma.

COMMENTARY, '38-'39
BY CARSON HILTON
Millsaps lias marched on — its own
feet at least, this year. Dr. D. M.
Key, Millsaps pi-esident and great
man for the past fifteen years, re-
signed last year in favor of Dr. M.
L. Smith. We enter the new era.
Kor those students with ijoor
memories I will present a hrief
resume of the events of the year
which attracted the attention of the
student body and that embryo
weekly, the Purple and White.
The first week of school found
the enrollment unbelievably high
and doi'mitory space amazingly
scarce. That is, scarce until Mill-
saps' "II. Z. John Pierpont Morgan"
conceived the idea of stacking beds
six high in five by ten dormitory
rooms. This relieved the necessity
of demanding colonial concessions
from neighboring institutions to
take care of our teeming hordes.
That was the first record history
has of the "appeasement" policy
adopted unsuccessfully a few days
later by Prime Minister Chamber-
lain of Great Britian.
This was the same week in which
Creek students assiduously avoided
the preserves of their "friendly
rivals." Great was the enmity
thereof when two groups "invited"
the same man to enter their par-
lois. Aye, 'twas faintly reminiscent
of the '60's when brother fought
brother.
Also, in this same memorable
week, several students were raised
from the ranks of the insignificant
and placed on the Y cabinet, among
them being the Vice-president of
the student body. The president
being left to struggle for recogni-
tion in other fields.
By October 1st Dean Key had
placed twenty eight devotees of the
.scholastic art on his Dean's list.
Thus decreasing chapel attendance
by twenty eight.
Tryouts were given to candidates
for the Millsaps Swingers by Mr.
King. Ninety five members were
named.
Ninety seven pledge pins were
distributed by "local Greeks" at end
of Rush week.
The war scares etc. caused a
precipitation of students on the
Millsaps National Guard band,
swelling its numbers beyond that
of the previous year.
The P & W announced that Mill-
saps would at long last have a
literary magazine under the guid-
ance of a certain Ph. D. and the
editorship of a student genius,
whose names I will not embarass
them by mentioning. Oh well, the
announcement was well written;
the reporter should be congratu-
lated.
The Stewed Executive Board
began the first in a long series of
futile meetings for the school year.
But most important of all, a sin-
ister and feral beast, the dirt-
dauber, made his first appearance
of the year in the pages of the P
& W. He dubbed President Smith
"baby," a la Mrs. Smith.

Things Such As These
Must Always Live On
June . . . and another college year glides away from
the present to rekindle treasured memories of the
past. Echoes of Alma Mater reverberate across
the campus as another class leaves academic halls
to enrichen a tradition of service already half a
century in the making.
September . . . and hearts beat faster as a new class is
inspired by the Millsaps tradition which now is
their own. Breathless Today blends with serene
Yesterday to bring forth a brilliant Tomorrow.
Drawing upon her heritage of service, Millsaps
again prepares to carry on.
Things such as these must always live on! To those
who know Millsaps and what it stands for, a call
goes out to keep their college in the vanguard of
educational leadership and service in Mississippi
and the South. Don't you know a student who
should come to Millsaps?

October the eighth was Home-
coming day with accompauyiuK
parade. Incidently — ever so inci-
(lently — there was a ball game that
iiiiiht in which Millsaps won a bril-
liant moral victory.
Millsaps engaged in the usiuil
sports throughout the year, but
since this is supposed to be pub-
licity, I will let the dead past bury
our bad scores and immortalize oui'
good ones. Suffice it to say that our
athletic department had varied suc-
cess — too varied in fact. There is a
certain Indian tribe of collegiate
heathens whom 1 refrain from men-
tioning for obvious I'easons.
Coach Gaddy I'esigned during the
course of the year, and is to be
replaced by Coach Hook Stone who
is justifial)ly optimistic about the
future. We congratulate Coach
Gaddy on his brilliant victories
while he has been here and wish
him luck. He was well liked by
those who knew him, which is a
credit to any man.
The much debated and over-
looked school calendar was pul)-
lished by that wishful fantasy the
SEB.
I quote from the Purple & White
of October the thirteenth; "Politi-
cal Front Quiet Tomorrow As Mill-
saps Class Elections Loom." Un-
fortunately that is true, quiet as an
elephant's graveyard — with the con-
comitant stench. The winning fra-
ternity and sorority members with
their misbegotten sense of fair play
gloated over their inane victorii^s
while the defeated powers indig-
nantly turned their gaze from the
political sour grapes which they
had failed to grab, and piously
shouted, "Line-up." This accusation
was often impiously denied.
The ludicrous motto of this same
issue of the P & W as brazenly
conceived by our sanguine editor
was "Beat Those Choctaws." How-
ever, I hope that motto will be a
prophecy for next year.
The following week Doctor Key
cut chapel attendance six more by
as many additions to the Dean's
List.
The college announced the larg-
est student body eni'olled in its his-
tory — 5G2 students — which rapidly
mounted to over 600.
Credit to be given here to that
benighted P & W staff membei-
who so effectively buried alive the
art which the great poets had at-
tached to barren alliteration. May
his whole dang illiterated tribe de-
crease.
W^orthy of mention was the lack
of tuberculosis on the campus as
determined by the State Board of
Health tests.
Somewhere in here religious
emphasis week was observed by
the Ministerial League and Y of-
ficers.
Doctor Smith, soon to become
"Smiley," was inaugurated on Tues-
day, November. Sth. An under-
standing and praiseworthy faculty
abolished compulsory chapel at-
tendance on Monday, thus allowing
Y. M. C. A. to meet at that time

and catch a few idle students and
increase their attendance. This also
officially decreased chapel non-at-
tendance.
Millsaps, famous for its banal
and boring chapel piograms boasts
of a few (infinitely few) good ones
this school year, and shows great
promise for the future in dis-
respect.
The Millsaps players lurched, or
launched out on a very successful
year at playing.
About this time the editor of the
Bobashela set the first of an indefi-
nite series of deadlines for Boba-
shela pictures.
Millsaps was host to the South-
ern Debate Tournament in Decem-
bei'. Professor Ramsey and his de-
baters should be given a medal for
their excellent work in this field
for the school year. All the honors
they have won this year in the
tournament were of dubiously in-
estimable value to the college as
publicity.
Merry Christmas! Also a Happy
New Year! See you after the holi-
days.
After the holidays.
Some optimist decided that they
could select six beauties from
among the Millsaps coeds, and By
George, they did it!
It was about this time, January
5, that the P & W started carrying
copious copy referring to some-
thing called "Mortmain" laws,
which seem terribly sensational.
However, on seizing this oppor-
tunity to carry on my diligent
search for knowledge. I found that
none of the professedly wise whom
I questioned about this matter
could tell me what they were,
though they claimed to understand
them.
All during this period a success-
ful campaign to obtain a post office
on the campus was carried on with
the apparent purpose of alleviating
the necessity of student's going to
the Grill to get their mail. But for
deep and subtle reasons the logical
place for it. The Administration
Building, remains the logical place
for it, and the postoffice, steeped
in irony, resides faithfully in the
Gym.
Another campaign was not so
successful. This was the campaign
to recognize a certain amount of
literacy among Millsaps students
by placing adequate lights in the
library.
The paper announced that the
new girls dormitory would be dedi-
cated March 12th.. but fortunately
did not say which March.
Exams are permanently behind
most seniors and temporarily be-
hind under-classmen at the begin-
ning of the second semester.
Greek letter organizations in-
dulged in a bit of initiation to swell
their ranks.
Doctor Key brings chapel attend-
ance down forty-three. By this
time most students have become
conscious of the improvements
made on the campus the previous
summer and being continued.

Millsaps this year gave birth to
the nation's first K. A. — I mean
pre-law fraternity.
Chi Omega and Pi K. A. tie in
quality point rating with the Thetas
and Phi Mus close behind them.
The "have's" won another empty
victory in the election in April, and
the "have-nots" boast of another
useless moral voctory. However,
non-partisan student objection to
such tactics took more concrete
form than ever before in this elec-
tion.
The college announced that next
year it will march in a department
of psychology and economics.
April the 29th was High School
day— Oh Boy!
Debaters win "Souheastern
Crown" and the P & W is awarded
for the first time first class honors.
One thing which we can well be
proud of beyond any doubt is the
new girls' dormitory to be opened
next school year. Rumor has it
that it will be named The David
Martin Key Dormitory. That is not
only the most appropriate name for
it, but it is the only name for it —
a small reward to Doctor Key for
his invaluable services to the col-
lege and the students.
And so to exams for underclass-
men and graduation for us sad-
hearted seniors who soon face ob-
livion or hard work and both are
equally undesirable.
