outstanding citizens throughout
the country who have contributed
to the progress of education.
Mississippi Vocational College, a
state supported institution, was es-
tablished by an act of the Missis-
sippi Legislature on April 5, 1916.
It's site consisting of $50 acres was
purchased on December II, 1949 in
Leflore County, one mile from the
town of Itta Bena on Highway 80.
This locale was originally a cotton
plantation known as "Scrooge
About" and was an undeveloped,
overgrown, swampy, cut-over area.
Ex-Governor Fielding Wright,
The Board of Trustees, Institu-
lions of Higher Learning and Pres
ident J. H. White celebrated the
ground breaking with hundreds of
interested friends, February 10,
1850. The first president, DR.. j..
H. White along with officials
dreamed and laid plans for great
institution. Many of these dreams
have come true and as time goes
by the far thinking of these men
and women will be fully realized.
That phase of the dream which
now stands as a reality for the
world has come through the clear
ing of a cotton patch, through
sleepless nights and the persever-
ance of James Herbert White.
In 1S45, the first finland Cotton
Plantation" was opened by Benja-
min Grub Humphreys who with
his servants from Port Gibson
cleared the virgin timber, built
homes and put the land into cult
walton. The property in this part
of Mississippi was known as "the
Wilderness" had been bought from
the United States after the signing
of 1.-THE Treaty of the Dancing
Rabbit with the Choctaw Indians.
The plantation was named "Itta
Bena" which is Choctaw for "Lit-
tie House in the Woods" On a
portion of the plantation has been
built fountain Of knowledge dedi-
Gated to the people of the State
! for Negro boys and girls.
This dedication. more than loo
years after 1.-THE Wilderness" was
opened to agriculture and industry
established a new milestone in the
progress in what is now known as
1.-THE Delta"-the highest agricul-
ture area in the State.

College stands as an educational
mecca for the State and Nation.
