the death, the sickness or the absence of one of the missionaries.'" Otherwise
it could happen that at times the mission would be without a missionary,
as for example, in the very possible case of a missionary's illness. In such a
case the President would be forced (as a precept of the Rule requires) to
give him religious assistance, and he could not do so without neglecting the
care of the missions. Obviously, if there are only two missionaries and one is
ill and the other is helping him, neither one will be able to take care of the
missions; nor in this case could the missionary from La Bahia remedy the
need, because the Indians there are recent converts and untrained, and so it
would be morally impossible for one missionary to take care of two missions,
which would be the only alternative. Because of this and also because of
other happenings that could take place, I am of the opinion that no change
should be made as regards the supernumerary, respecting always the better

The Prairie View A. and M. "gray stone Administration Building, whose
architectural design was widely admired" (a quotation found in numerous
histories of the college), was erected in 1889, and was completely destroyed by
fire in March, I947. This rare photograph of the building shows the facade
from a position to one side. The college Bulletin for 1891, however, contains
a drawing of the front view which illustrates its architectural kinship to other
college Main Buildings of the period. Photo courtesy Archives, Prairie View
