Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mississippi Woman's College: Hattiesburg, Miss. Session 1921-1922 Mississippi Woman's College is located on a beautiful elevation in the southern suburbs of Hattiesburg, a city of 20,000 population. The campus consists of forty acres so situated and beautified that it amply meets the needs of a campus for young women. The soil is sandy and, with our mild climate, the campus can be used the greater part of the year for recreation and outdoor athletics. Much money and labor have been spent in beautifying the campus. Hattiesburg is at the junction of four railroads and two or three more are under consideration. Eighteen passenger trains enter the city daily. We are on the New Orleans & Northeastern, 111 miles from New Orleans and 85 miles from Meridian; we are 90 miles from Jackson and 70 miles from Gulfport on the Gulf & Ship Island; we are 125 miles from Natchez via the Mississippi Central and 96 miles from Mobile via the Gulf, Mobile & Northern. Students from any portion of Mississippi may reach us by means of these roads and their connections within a few hours. Ownership And Control The college is owned by the Mississippi Baptist Convention and managed by a Board of twenty-seven trustees. Nine of these serve for three years; nine for two years and nine for one year. At the annual meeting of the State Baptist Convention the Committee on Nominations nominates nine trustees to take the places of the nine whose terms are expiring. These are then elected by the Convention unless the report of the Committee is amended. Thus the Convention may change the control of the College at will. The Board of Trustees has a regular meeting during Commencement, a called meeting during the session of the Convention and other meetings at the call of the President of the Board.
