 Is self-supporting..
 < The school, formerly maintained all most entirely at the expense of the Methodist Conference. under Mir. Mas sey's management has become nearly self-supporting. In his report read to-. day to the Board of Trustees he an- nouuced that the income for the school year just closed reached very close to the sz5.000 mark. The Conference still makes an annual approximation, but this is yearly becoming less.
 Another move which is due ir large part to the enterprise of tne college president. is that for an eudowp1cnt fund It was a Twentieth Century movement, and in the few years 1t has been in existence has grown with the int rest to more than $l4,h0o.
 In llree part the stuuerts are caugh- ters of farmers and Methodist minis ters, chiefly from South, Middle and Western Alabama. although several other States are represented also about twenty scholarships have bec- -'7. to the school. and these are apportion- ed among districts In Alabama, the ap-. pointn,ents being maee by the presiding elders of the respective districts.

 Notwithstanding lis age, pr. Massey is still youthful. vigorous and active. For thirty years he has borne tke bur- dens of President of the Conference in- stitution. but he is as erect today as when he first entered upon the presi- dency. His step Is firm and elastic, his carriage erect and of the approved military style, his eye friendly and even piercing and clear. For more than a generation he has watched young girls fare forth into the world, and in latsr years has seen their daugh- ters come to the place where their mothers were before them
 His has become an honored name among mothers in Alabama. Five times previous to yesterday he had been unanimously reelected to the presi- dency of the college, for terms of five years each, and yesterday the Board of Trustees met and again bestowed the responsibility Of the institution for au- other five years upon him.
 Our only wish," said member of the Board after the meeting5 lis that we might count upon another thirty years Of as efficient management iron, Dr. Massey as the past thirty years have shown.
