CAPT, 4, ID. SESSUMS SUCCEEDS
CAPT. IRA WELBORN AS
COMMANDANT.
DIR. l.. w CRIGLER STEPS DOWN
AND OUT AS COLLEGE
PHYSICIAN.
SENIOR CLASS wITHDRAws.

week. Oll MOuudy Cdpt. Ira ".
Welborn was succeeded as Com
mandant by Capt, |. D Sessums.
Capt. Welb,rn will still remain
however, as Instructor of Militia
ry Science. This change was
brought about, as expressed by ID
member of the faculty, by an
honest disagreement between the
President and the Commandaut.
DR.. Crigler, the College Phys
lclar, also relii q fishes his posi-
ton. He had already rendered
his resignation to take effect at
the end of this session, but for
some cause his connection with
the college ended earlier than at
first contemplated.
Mr.. Blanton, a memter of the
senior class Was sent to the pres
ident, as representave sof that
class TO present a grlsva-ce.
The interview, it seems, resulted
IN Mr.. Blanton' dismissal from
the C,llege. This action on the
part of the president has caused
tie enire senior class, sky
four in number, to withdraw
from the collere. and at tn meet
ing of the class, which decided
this course, the following reso-
lutions were adopted:
We. the senior class, adopt the fol-
lowing resolutions to show the reason
for leaving college at this odd time OF
the session. Our action Is the express
sion of true spirit which exists in
every college and which, unfortunate
ly for the Institution and very much
to our regret has been put to the test,
Be it therefore resolved;
1st. That since a member of our
class, acting as representative of the
Glass. and according to what we be-
lieyed to be for just cause, was
forced to withdray: and
End. After careful deliberation we
consider it our sacred duty to bear
part of the burden which 9his student
has received through the sincere ac-
tlon OF the Senior Glass; and
Bird Since there is no recourse for
the redress of grievance by
the Glass without the viola
tlon OF the College regulations; rather
than to make a sacrifice, as we see it,
we,deem it necessary for every man of
the Senior class to sever his connec-
tion with the Mississippi A x Nj. Col
lege.
Adopted. this the 9th day of J.anu-
ary, 1908
AT the beginning of this College
term the board of trustees gave
the President full power to EN-
ploy and discharge all mem bers
OF the faculty and other attaches
of the college and it seems that
he is not going to tail to use this
newly invested power. The
President, in talk to the faculty
and student body Wednesday
morning, stated that the power
vested III him by the board was
not OF his seeking; that, in fact,
he would not say that he approv-
ed of it, but that it was now his
duty to exercise that power in a
manner he thought best for, the
college and all concerned.
Capt. Sessums, the newly ap
pointed Comma1dant, has held
the position before, and is well
qualified in every respect for the
important position.
DR.. Crlgler's successor will, in
all probability, be appointed by
the President at once, subject to
the ratification of the board Of
trustees.

delinquent In a street car.
Il have not seen YOU at church for

When en- eminent lawyer or ply

your attention that a writer often

dead the more alive be is, and the
more acute is his competition against
the living.
