PROF. JOHN {. DUNN

Prof. John E. Dunn comes to the
faculty of Dixie College this year
bringing great scholarship and va'ua-
BILE experience. He resigned the pres
idency of Monea College, Rector, Ark.
to accept work with Dixie College.
Prof. Dunn is, first of all, President
of the School of the Bible and director
of all the work in Bible, church histo-
ry, etc. He, however, has arfang I'd
and consented to hear few classes
in the college proper. Prof Dunn is a
strong man and will bring a great
deal to the faculty and the institution.
Prof. Dunn graduated from two of
the leading schools of the country ara
has since taught in each of them. He
has specialized in history and the
moral sciences and his work will be
in these departments.

members of the faculty. The girls
find both pleasure and profit in the
work
Among the young men there are
two literary and debating societies,
the Appollonian and Philoomathian.
Each of these soscieties hold their
meetings weekly. They are we'll or
ganized, and each member of each
society being faithful to his name and
colors, works diligently for the
strength and progress of his organiza-
ton. The boys take great interest in
the work, and defend their respective
institutions with great pride.
In addition to the above is the Dixie
Derrick, school publication gotten
out quarterly by the student body.
The above literary activities tend to
bring out and develop whatever of
talent a young man or woman may
have, and affords diversity of exer-
cises of such practical nature that in
value they are almost equal to the
college course.
