this great State on the college roll. SO
were there gathered guests from every
portion of our commonwealth to share
in the triumphs and pleasures of the
ambitious girls who are so eagerly
taking advantage of their unparalleled
opportunities. Some one has said
that a man needs no monument other
than the influence of his life's work on
those around him. This being the
case, the president of the /. |. and c.,
Mr.. A. A. Kincannon, is building day
by day in the great work of this col
lege for the girls of Mississippi a
monument of statelier. build and fairer
proportions than ever, by human hand
vas chiseled from rarest marble.
Each year that the college adds to
its noble history records new growth,
new strength, new power to it and to
the hundreds OF young women who
are blessed with ability to stand be-

plans. 1t may not be generally
known. but it is a fact that this great
school for young women stands
alone, above all competitors, on the
steep mountain side OF practical and
scientific education for women, and
try as they will, her competitors can
not reach or drag her down. The col

are unequaled in the South, and it has

schools work, and yet, so great is the
pressure, that greater are always
needed. Year by year, as means al
low, great improvements are made,
new departments added, additional
teachers employed and still the eager
students knock and beg for admission,
but must be turned away for lack or
room and teaching force.
And still, this one strong man, with
his marvellous grasp of people and
things, controls and improves and up
builds this wonderful little kingdom
with as much ease and wisdom as he
showed when he took it, a few years
ago, when it was but a small realm,

This it got when Mr.. Kincannon took
the reins of government, and in peace
and contentment it has flourished
ever since and bids fair to continue
its symmetrical growth and to widen
with each coming year its glorious
sphere of influence. One Of the most
interesting features of the commence.
ment of 1904 was the industrial ex-
hibit in the spacious four-story in
dustrial hall, and great throngs of Wis
itors enjoyed it and pronounced it by
far the best that has ever been made
by the students. The greatest inter
est Of the visitors centered about the
work in photography, Tor it has come
to be universally recognized that an
l. 1. and c.. certificate in photography
will admit a girl to the best paid of
fees in this and other States, and in
domestic science, dressmaking and
millinery. The interest in these
and the success of the stu
dents argues great things for the
homes that will be established in
years to come, with l. I. and G. girls
as their centers and souls. For, deny
it though some people may, civilized
can not live without cooks, any
more than civilized woman can live
without dressmaking and millinery.
1t was a notable fact and a testi,
of the boards confidence in
Mr.. Kincannon's management, that
every recommendation in his report
was accepted by the board. May the
long flourish under the wise
