66 THE SCROLL.MISSISSIPPI ALPHA, UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPIWith a small chapter, but with "the hope that springs eternal" still left her,Mississippi Alpha opens the session of nineteen twelve and thirteen. BrotherMcKinney's graduation leaves us four of last yearns chapter who are returningthis September, Brothers Bailey, Franklin, Haxton and Mayo. Brother SamFoose, who graduated in nineteen eleven, and Brother Felix Jackson, alsoof" the chapter of nineteen eleven, may be back at school taking professionalcourses.This session, we think, will see a gradual dying down of the bitter antifraternityfeeling in Mississippi, and will give birth to the conservative reactionin our favor, which we so confidently expect.In Brother "Billy" McKinney, Mississippi Alpha loses the man who, forthe last bad year especially, has stood at her helm and steered her, with farless damage than would otherwise have come to her, through as rough a seaof troubles as ever buffeted a band of brothers in Phi Delta Theta. We wishhim well in his career, and, knowing his abilities so well, feel no anxietyas to his future. THOMAS F.
