We, the . gricola Staff, have given these memories expression in hope that during all time, the 1927 Agricola may be a guide book for your reflections of life at dear old Tech. DEDICATION T o James R. Grant Our progressive and ever faithful leader, wlio has tirelessly sought to better our school life, pi ' epare us for the future, and show us the way we should go; who has lent encourage- ment and a willing hand in the ])ublishing of our memoir, we dedicate this volume of The Agricola.

Q == (THE AGRICOIA Q I Am Education I bear the torch that enlightens the world, fires the im- agination of man, feeds the flame of genius. I give wings to dreams and might to hand and brain. From out the deep shadows of the past I come, wearing the scars of struggle and the stripes of toil, but bearing the triumph and wisdom of all ages. Man, because of me, holds dominion over earth, air and sea; it is for him I leash the lightening, plumb the deep and shackle the ether. 1 am the parent of progress, creator of culture, molder of destiny. Philosophy, science and art are the works of my hand. I banish ignorance discourage vice, disarm anarchy. Thif liavc I become freedom ' s citadel, the arm of dem- ocracy, the hope of youth, ' he pride of adolescence, tlic joy of age. Fortunate the nations and happy the homes that wel- come me- The school is my workshop; here I stir ambitions, stimulate ideals, forge the keys that open the door to opportunity. I am the source of inspiration; the aid of aspiration. I am irre- sistible power. — Selected. o [TolT l ( jot (THEAGRICOI =0 . DR. JAMES R.

Graduates The Teachers ' Training Class of tlie College is not the largest in number, but it has the distinction of being the first L. I. Class to be gratluated from the Arkansas Polytechnic College. Some one has said that goods of highest cjuality come wrapped in small packages. There are only fourteen mem- bers, but in this number arc founil the names of some of the most wide-awake and most able students in the College. In all activities with which Arkansas Polytechnic College has had any connection, the " teachers " have always taken the keenest interest. On the class roll may be found members of the track, football, basket ball, and baseball teams. In fact the class is represented in every branch of athletics and in all the worthwhile College organizations. The L. I. candidates are a loyal buneli of students, and Arkansas Polytechnic College is justly i)roud of them. It is they that create the most powerful inlluence for t he ( " oUege because they come in contact with so many jieoijle as they go out to take their places in the cori)s of Arkansas Polytechnic College graduates, who are valiantly endeavoring to raise the standards of education in Arkansas. i (19 27 sa qT o. tTHE AGRICOI ■Ov ARVLE BEXXETT, I,, I.

What a year ago ap- peared mere specks on a dim horizon are gradually taking the shape of progress. During the fall term Sophomores could be found fighting their way for first honors on the football team, while numerous others not quite so lucky, or rather who chose other fields of work, were bounding ahead as So])homores should. Several members of the Sophomore class have done their preparatory work in the Arkansas Polytechnic College, while others have come from reputable high schools and colleges of this and adjoining states. The class thus far has taken an increasing important role in the affairs of the following years. Almost one hundred per cenl of last year ' s Freshmen have gloriously survived the persecutions they were ruthlessly subjected to, and are back on the job, demonstrating to the other classes that it is " a survival of the fittest, " and making them regret that they ever nagged, slammed, rebuked and per- secuted last year ' s Freshmen. The result is this peppy, en- thusiastic, ever excelling life, a new and brighter star on the horizon of Tech school life. dH) c yof DOUGLAS HFLI. Cliarlestrjn Arkuo A§:rian Socieiy. Band, Orchestra.

Many and great are the changes that these few months have wrought in us. In the sjjringtime of 1926, we emerged from various high schools confident that wisdom was plainly visible on every feature; in September, being admitted as prodigies from our own home towns, we congregated at the State ' s greatest insti- tution of learning, w-illing and ready to display our superior talents to the upper classmen. No one who has been connected with the Arkansas Poly- technic (College during the school year of 1926-27 will even dare refute the statement that the Freshmen class has been one of the most enthusiastic organizations of the institution. If, in the dim distant future, when you are lonely and your thoughts wander back to your Freshman year, you should look once again through these pages, recalling fond memories of pleasant associations, live once again your college days, and be thankful to your Alma Mater. We, the Freshman class, expect your approval now, but are willing to wait for your appreciation until that day, when memory will light her fires and show you the old faces and old places of a treasured past. The Freshman class as a whole looks into the future with impatient longing, but the story of our future, we will leave for future historians to relate.

The en- Hraviny and art work was done by the Peerless Engraving Company of Little Hock. Ark. The expenses of this juiblication were met in three ways — by the sale of annuals, by the sale of organization, panel and space and by the advertising which is carried in the back of the book. Due credit should be given .lohn Held, our oflieial [jhotographer, for his jjronipt work on the scene section in the front of the t ook. Mr. Heid was always willing to co-oi)erate with the staff when need was found for a pholograplicr.

SMITH Business Manager 1926-1927 TUBA AGRICOLAE V The Tuba Agricolae is tlie bi-weekly publication of the students of Arkansas Polytechnic College. It serves the double purpose of leading student spirit and in keeping the public informed on the work of the college. Its slogan is, " Boosting for a Bigger and Better Arkansas Poly- technic College. " Although the staff is elected by the student body, an effort is made to elect only those members who are well qualified for the different positions and are interested in the work. Since the college has no print shop, the Tuba Agricolae is printed by the Russellville Printing Company. It is financed by subscriptions and advertising space sold to the business men of Russellville. It is the aim of the Tuba Agricolae to mirror all phases of student activity. Space given to the different college interests is divided so that there will be no possibility of the paper ever becoming an organ of any one group. Campus news of special interest to the student body is carried. Each issue carries an article on some live farm problem or data on some experiment being conducted by the Agricultural Depart- ment. Xo college credit is given for work on the paper. The Tuba Agricolae is still young, being now in its fourth volume. It is hoped that the future staffs will continue to develop the paper until it will take its place with the leading college publications. i (r927 ( 0: !

The presidents of each class were asked to meet with as many faculty members and select as best Ihey could the three most outstanding students for the four divisions, namely — Scholarshi]). . thletics.

No one who has not studied music is in a position to appreciate its manifold advantages. The boy who has the advantage of studying music and art is better fitted for future life, even in other professions and in business. It may very definitely contribute to his success by giving him vision and daily inspiration to raise his soul to higher levels of human experience and accomplishment. The intellectual discipline of music is enormous. The mental drill can hardly be compared to mathematics, except that it is a most logical and orderly art. It is inconceivable that the training that puts the human mind through a great number of beautiful melodic and harmonic pat- terns, all gracefully and often powerfully designed with marvelous sym- metry and balance, can fail to be of great benefit to the student, par- ticularly in the formative years. This may be dilFicult for the business man to understand. Other countries have produced, and are giving, the world more composers, more originality in composition; but are they doing more to keep the spirit of music alive among the people? Have we not become a nation of " music absorbers? " We are furnishing audiences — appre- ciative audiences — to the musical interpreters of the world. Does not this signify a " Musical America? " We have an accredited course in our institution. Thoughtful instruc- tors have striven to make the study of music a pleasure to the student, and to cultivate the capacity for musical thinking and hearing. As the needs of each individual differ, so the work is planned to meet those needs. The contributions which our students make to the churches and other organizations of Russellvillc are gladly rendered. The students of our Music Department are taught that " He who is greatest is he who serves, and serves gladly, willingly, and unselfishly.

There had been a missing link in the athletic activities of the College for several years; the " A " Association supplied this deficiency. The organization served under its original name, The " A Associaiton, " until year before last. Then the letter " T " was substituted for " A, " subsequent to the change in the name of the college. The Association has a written constitution by which all its proceedings are directed. This constitution is preserved in the secretary ' s office and is available on short notice. The requirements for letters are prescribed in this constitution. Not even the coaches have power to confer a letter of athletic recognition upon athletes. Only letter men are members of the " T " Association. The organization has a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and sergeant-at-arms. These officers are elected for a term of twelve months each. The association has a regular meeting the first Monday evening of each month and call meetings when conditions that require immediate attention arise. This association of athletes has been instrumental in creat- ing a spirit of equality and brotherhood among the students of Arkansas Tech. The yellow and green athletic blankets are the jiroperty of the organization. A member is given one of these blankets upon graduation. The blankets are a few of many prized awards obtained by a winning spirit and consistent effort. Thus far the " T " Association has enjoyed a very active and successful career. It is held in high esteem by the student body at large, and may this spirit be maintained forever.

Each year at the close of the season you can hear rumors that next year our team is due for a slump. But each year, those who for seasons past have warmed the bench, join hands with the recruits, and Coach Brown drills them into one of the best football teams of the South. Tech lost nine letter men last year, but their positions were suc- cessfully filled. This year we lose only three letter men, so we are look- inc forward to a very successful season next vear. r » V L t kd mm ' r J| i - ■ " . - i Nt m ■iJ... inff St i V: S ' i r. d V {r92n ( yo- tTHE AGRICOIA p LGv B.

Arkansas Tech smashed its way to a 13-to-6 victory over the " Ciolden Tornado " of Howard-Payne College of Brownwood, Texas. Three and one-half minutes after the first kick-ofF, Tech, with her second string men in action, scored. The " Tornado " registered its lone counter in the same quarter. The .game, from that period on, was fought in the center of the field, with each squad playing brilliantly.

It was indeed a brilliant chapter that Arkansas Tech wrote into the history of Arkansas football, and although the rain fell, the wind blew, the lightning flashed, and the thunder pealed while the game was being played, the spirit of the team was not dampened, and the enthusiasm of close to 3, ()()() Russellville supporters was not chilled.

THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT Through the efforts of the State Adjutant the War Department gave Arkansas the power to organize the 206th ( oast Artillery. State institu- tions were granted the privilege of forming what is known as seliool units. Arkansas Polytechnie College has two such units, which c(jniprise the Military Department. The Batteries are fully equipped. Battery " F " being a machine gun unit, has for its eciuipment six machine guns, and the necessary signal- ing a|)paratus; also it has four trucks with cargo bodies, [battery " D " is equipped with a 75 mm. anti-aircraft gun, two s(|uad trucks with ammunition bodies, and a complete set of range instruments, together with all the necessary field problem apparatus. It is also equipi)ed with an up-to-date set of signaling instruments and instruments for comput- ing data on field problems and trial shot problems. The aim of the Military Department is to make better tlie nieiital, physical, and moral abilities of its personnel, thereby fitting them for citizcnshii). There is a need of better trained men, and the department is helping supjjh- this need by turning out men who have a l)etter organized way of doing things. The ijhysical training received here is i)robably not excelled. (Cal- isthenics is the most systematic way of taking exercise There is more co-ordination between the bod and mind when such exercise is taken; therefore the physical development received is of great value to the student who takes part in military activities. Lo alty and obedience to those in authority are the watchwords of our country, and nowhere is there more strict atlherence to these obliga- tions than in a military body. The first lesson a soldier learns is respect for those in command, and he does not soon forget it. The department furnishes pecuniary inducements in that each mem- ber of its organizations receives drill pay from the government. Each member is ])aitl quarterly according to his rank. This helps in a material way to further the cause of education; for without the armory drill pay there would be those who could not remain in school. The payroll brings in quarterly more money than do all other student aid funds. The duties performed in this department bring to bear on each mem- ber responsibilities that cannot well be shirked, and therefore develoj) a sense of responsibility to a high degree. The rank of each guardsman signifies his duties, which cannot be shirked without the sacrifice of that rating.
