NATCHEZ COLLEGE AKIN G
SPLENDID PROGRESS UNDER
THE LEADERSHIP OF PRESI-
DENT 4. 4. COSBY

When DR.. Cosey took charge of Natchez College, as
President in September 1884, he found things at very
low ebb of the depression and the falling off
len off and the business with whom the institution
dealt had about lost confidence in the school.
President Cosey set about to restore confidence in the
public build up the student body and to improve
dons around the college generally all of which have been
done to large extent
The farm has been cultivated in very helpful way,
by producing much the foodsuf that used at the col
lege such corn make meal peas potatoes tomatoes
and other vegetables All of this has been done by the
young who attend the college, which gave them the
opportunity of earning most of their in school,
Also cows hogs and chickens have been made to play their
part in putting the program of the college.
The intellectual side of the institution however, has
not been neglected President Cosey has insisted upon
thorough intellectual training and the teachers have been
presenting their subjects such to encourage
the students apply themselves in such to
produce satisfactory results Christian training is being
emphasized have each student realize its mpor
lance in the training of the heart.
1t will be remembered tht the boys dormitory
lost by fire February 1887 but this did not to be
any Encouragement President Cosey for he cried out
LET us rise up and bud under the direction of that
financial wizard Dr. T. J. Huddleston two-story
brick auditorium and boys dormitory went up hurry
which is meeting the needs of the institution large

Truly Natchez College is making splendid progress
under the wise and safe leadership of President Cosey
