Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Catalogue of the University of Mississippi: 1849-1909 Much of the matter in this volume is based, in large measure, on the corresponding publication of a decade ago. The old historical sketch of the University has been rearranged to some extent; a few minor points, formerly omitted, have been introduced, and such other insertions and additions have been made as were necessary to bring the whole down to date. The historical sketches of the professional departments and of the schools of the academic department were prepared by the heads of these departments and schools. The biographical sketches of the presidents and chancellors of the University have been taken, in the main, from recent University periodicals. The first six appeared in the University of Mississippi Magazine in 1902, and were from the pen of Professor Dabney Lipscomb. The sketch of ex-Chancellor Fulton was published in the College Annual, "Ole Miss," in 1907. That of Chancellor Kincannon, with additions made later by the editor of this book, appeared in the Annual of the following year. This last was also from Professor Lipscomb. The register of officers and students closes with the session of 1906-9. Mr. J. E. Calhoun and Mr. D. N. Powers, Secretaries to the Chancellor, had charge of the work of revising the lists of names contained in the Historical Catalogue of 1899 and of preparing the additional list embracing all students who have attended the University since that time. Those Chancery Court clerks who rendered valuable assistance in this matter of compiling statistics in regard to former University students residing in their counties are entitled to sincere thanks. It has been found advisable to arrange the names of students first in the order of their entrance into the University, and by classes, and also to give a complete alphabetical list. The dates in this index refer to one year in which the student was enrolled in the University, and will serve as a guide to further information recorded in that part of the catalogue corresponding to the year shown. In the general catalogue of former students, it has been attempted to give the present address of all who are living. While this has been accomplished in many instances, it has been found impossible to locate a large number. The prefix "Hon." is used in its common sense to indicate one who has been a member of the Legislature; other abbreviations will be readily understood. The duplication of names is intentional when the first record shows the entrance of the student and the second his graduation. It is believed that this arrangement of names in reference to years of attendance is more satisfactory to those who will read the list than any other order.
