purse at Detroit boosted his
total to $l4.249 for PGA-spon-

Under the leadership of the youth

has reached new heights in almost
every respect, both as to the ply
steal plant and as to instruction.
A new hard-surfaced highway
has minimized the isolation of the
institution; a twenty nine mile Ru-

line has brought efficient modern
electric facilities to the campus;
repairs and new installations have
brought adequate hot water and
heat to the dormitories and other
buildings Fifteen new buildings
have been constructed; the appro-
priation of the College has more
than doubled and the enrolment
has scared from less than 200 to
more than 1900
But probably the most significant
improvement at Alcorn College has
been the reorganization of the cur
riculum, the increasing Of salaries
and the Strengthening of the fa-
Guilty and staff. A fitting reward
for these efforts , came recently
when Alcorn College, for the first
time in her 70 years of existence
as the oldest Negro Land-Grant

thern Association of Colleges and
