special precaution against fire, hose
being so arranged on every floor as to
enable the inmates of the college to
! control any outbreak that may occur.
The exterior of the main building
has also been somewhat changed IN
appearance, the style of architecture
having been modernized to consider
able extent. The square coping, char
acteristic of by-gone days, has been
replaced by an arched design, which
crowns the west wing, and tho num-
Der of entrances have been increased
by one. Heretofore the entrances
have been from the north and south
wings, close to the west wing. These
have been changed to the extreme ends
of the wings named and an additional
entrance made in the west wing, all
facing the campus. The veranda,
which extended only along the front
of the north and south wings, has been
continued along the entire front. In
planning all of the betterments the
aesthetic was kept in. mind, as well as
comfort and health, and that the
architect who planned the improve
ments has been successful in both
there can be no doubt in the minds of
those who have viewed the arrange
ment.
THE FACULTY OF THE COLLEGE.
In conclusion let it be added that
no school in the State of Mississippi
has better equipment for thorough
work than Grenada College, and, fur
ther. no school has fairer promise of
continued expansion and development.
Yet, Notwithstanding its excellent
equipment, plans are now being form
ulated for extensions in the library
and also in scientific apparatus. And
when the Methodists begin to plan
fulfilled achievement generally follows
close in its wake. The graduates OF
Grenada College have just cause for
being proud Of their Alma Mater, and
as the name and fame of the school
spreads the honor of having been
graduated from its halls will be more
and more esteemed.
The faculty is composed of the very
best educators the country affords, at
the head of which is w. l.. Clifton,
who Notwithstanding his years are
only thirty-two, has made a mark in
the educational world of which he
may we'll be proud. Born in DeSoto
county, Miss, iii 1872, after having
graduated from the local high school
he attended the University of MiSSiS-
sipppi, the University of Nashville,
and the Peabody Normal, from each
: of which well-known institutions he
graduated with high honors. Later
Mr.. Clifton was at the head of the
Sloan Hendrix Academy of Imboden,
Arkansas, taking complete charge two
years after its inception and at time
when it's attendance was at low
: ebb. Through his untiring efforts he
succeeded in putting the school ON
: substantial foundation, and when he
5 resigned his position it was matter
: of regret to those who had seen the
! school prosper under his management.
During the time President Clifton
has been connected with Grenada
2 College it's growth has not been incon-
: siderable, the number of students
4 having largely increased and the
S property of the school having received
/ numerous betterments, made neces-
