[Editor's comment: In the providence God He allowed me to be the third president of Southwestern College in Oklahoma City. I was honored and privileged to meet Mary Selby. Her name was synonous with Southwestern College. She was the first registrar of the college and was the secretary to Dr. R. O. Corvin, the founder and first president of Southwestern College. Her life and legacy will continue to live in the hearts of countless thousands of people she touched. I bless her life of service to Southwestern College, to her church and community.]
