The last
three quarters of a century have witnessed many changes for
Delta State and the local community. We hope that this exhibit
will allow you to both celebrate and reflect upon our rich and
varied history. Even though this project only presents a small
sampling of available materials, it provides a broad range of
memories that we feel you will enjoy. Finally, just as Delta
State will continue to evolve in the future, so will this exhibit.
Please don't hesitate to share your suggestions and impressions.

It is a pleasure
to welcome you to this Web Site. I was honored to serve Delta State
University as President from 1971 to 1975. Though that was twenty-five
years ago, my heart is still tied to this wonderfully unique institution
known for its superb teaching, rich opportunities for student development,
exciting and award winning athletics, beautiful campus, service to
the Mississippi Delta, and efficient and effective administration.
As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Delta State, it is heartwarming
to reflect on its very significant past accomplishments, and it is
exciting to contemplate its bright and useful future. |

As President
Emeritus of Delta State University, it is my pleasure to welcome you

in the Hill Demonstration School in 1946. I reflect with pride and
admiration at the many accomplishments in academics, athletics, and
other areas of this fine institution. Delta State can truly be proud
of its educational excellence and friendly environment. While we celebrate
past achievements, we can also look forward to our future opportunities. |
