ERBERT HOWLAND SARGENT, son of Jacob True and Maria L. (Braley) Sargent, was born at Carlinville, Illinois, September 29th, 1858. His early years were spent on a farm. In 1878 he graduated from Blackburn University with the degree of B. S. After a winter spent in teaching school, he won the competitive examination for West Point in the spring of 1879, and was appointed cadet at the United States Military Academy by Congressman William R. Morrison. He graduated in 1883, and on June 13th of that year was appointed Second Lieutenant Second United States Cavalry. He was married to Alice C. Applegate, August 1 ith, 1886, at Olene, Oregon. After receiving his commission. Lieutenant Sargent was in constant service on the frontier, at Fort Assiniboine, Montana, Fort Klamath. Oregon, Fort Bidwell, California, Fort Walla Walla, Washington, Fort Huachuac, Arizona, San Carlos Indian Agency, Fort Bowie, Arizona, Fort Logan, Colorado, and Fort Wingate, New Mexico (except one year, 1886-7, as Professor of Military Science at the University of Illinois), until the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. He was then ordered to Washington to aid in organizing the volunteers. May 1st, 1898, he was appointed Major and Adjutant-General United States volunteers, but declined the appointment. On May 20th he was appointed Colonel of the Fifth United States Volunteer Infantry, which he organized at Columbus, Mississippi, arriving with it at Santiago de Cuba August 12th. 1898. In March, 1899, he was ordered to Guantanamo, Cuba, where he commanded the District of Guantanamo until he returned to the United States with his regiment and was mustered out of the volunteer service at Camp Meade. Pennsylvania, May 31st. 1899. On March 2d, 1899. he had been promoted Captain of Cavalry in the regular army. This was followed July 5th by his appointment as Lieutenant-Colonel Twenty-ninth Infantry. United States Volunteers. In October lie sailed for Manila with his regiment, arriving November 2d. For about four months he was engaged in fighting the insurgents on the island of Luzon. He was in command of the attacking forces December 19th, 1899. at the 4 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill battle of San Mateo, in which his warm personal friend, Major-General Henry V. Lawton. I’nited States Volunteers, was killed. For a year he was Judge Advocate of the Department of Southern Luzon. In July, 1901, he returned t � the L'nited States, joined his regiment, the Second Cavalry, at Matanzas. Cuba, in September of the same year. From April, 1902, he served with his regiment at Port Ethan Allen. Vermont, until August 1st. 1903, at which time he was appointed Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, to take effect September 21st. 1903. Captain Sargent was commended by Major-General F. S. Otis, United States Army, commanding the United States forces in the Philippines, for “ the skill and bravery he displayed in the difficult San Mateo affair, and for this action was recommended for a brevet in the regular army. For his services in Cuba he was also recommended for the brevet of Colonel in the regular armv. and highly commended by the Military Governor as follows: Headquarters Military Governor, Island of Cuba. Havana, Notrmber 1901. “ Adjutant-General, U. S. Army, Washington. “ Sue I have the honor to recommend Captain H. H. Sargent. Second Cavalry, late Colonel P'ifth U. S. Volunteer Infantry, for the brevet of Colonel, in recognition of able and meritorious services and soldierly conduct at Santiago and Guantanamo. Cuba, during the period from August. i8 ;8. to May, 1899. During a great portion of this time yellow fever was epidemic at Santiago, and this officer's services were rendered under most trying circumstances. In addition to most efficient performance of his military duties, he performed various civil duties with marked ability and good judgment. Very respectfully. (Signed) “Leonard Wood, “ Brigadier-Central, Commanding.” Captain Sargent is the author of “ Xapoleon Bonaparte’s P'irst Campaign. and The Campaign of Marengo. A thinker and a soldier by nature and education, and gifted with the | ower of expressing himself in a lucid and simple, yet scholarly manner, his books have earned for him a wide reputation as a military strategist, in spite of the fact that his works have 905 THE LONG HORN 5 necessarily been few and far between, on account of bis constant connection with the army. He is now writing a history of the campaign of Santiago tie Cuba. The high opinion of Captain Sargent that prevails in army circles will be indicated by the following extracts from a large number of reviews of his works: From Army and Nary Gazette, London: A volume that is well worthy to lx? ranked with Lord Wolsclcy’s 44 Decline and Fall of Napoleon ” is 44 Na|X)leon Bonaparte’s hirst Campaign.” We do not know where to find a finer or better picture of the Italian campaign than in Colonel Sargent’s volume. From The Times, London: A passage in the preface seems to indicate that he regards his work as merely a strategical study of interest to the military student only, but it is a great deal more than this, for no one, whether he lx? cilivian or soldier, can. after the perusal of this small volume, fail to realize vividly the stupendous genius of Napoleon Bonaparte, as manifested even in the earliest years of service in the field. We suggest to Lieutenant Sargent that he should follow up this successful initial work by a series of monographs on the subsequent campaigns, showing as clearly as he has done in this instance how in successive campaigns the personal, mental, and physical powers of the strategist affected and influenced both the conception and the execution of the strategy adopted. The late General Lawton, in a letter to Captain Sargent, said: I will admit that I feared somewhat that your brilliant success in the first instance might give you over-confidence, and that your second effort might fall below the high standard you had established for yourself ; but I am proud to say you have lost nothing in the strength of your argument, or ease and grace of style. Your standing is now firmly established, and I trust you will continue your work, and that you will sooner or later consider and analyze more recent events in military history. As an instructor and a disciplinarian Captain Sargent has been eminently successful. The story of his service at the A. and M. College can not be told better than by quoting the words of President Houston in his biennial report to the Board of Directors: 44 No department of the College Ins shown greater improvement over the preceding year than the Military 6 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill Department. It would Ik impossible to give too much credit to the Commandant of Cadets, Captain II. H. Sargent, Second United States Cavalry, for the results he has secured. When he took charge of his duties the attitude of the corps was far from satisfactory, and the discipline was lax. It was only a very short time before he made a very strong impression upon the student body and completely succeeded in revolutionizing their attitude and in establishing satisfactory discipline. IJy his justice, sound judgment, tact, proficiency as a military officer and teacher, and fine qualities as a man, he succeeded in winning not only the admiration, hut the affection of the students. The result of his work was seen in the improvement throughout the entire institution. Practically speaking, the discipline of the institution was absolutely Satisfactory. There were only a few cases that came to the attention of the Faculty or gave any serious concern. In the main the young men of the corps conducted themselves in a manly and gentlemanly manner.” i9os THELONGHORN 7 College Calendar September 28............Fall Term Begins.

Ramsay. “ P()R heaven’s sake, cried a young fellow, in a gray uniform, as he I burst from the drawing-room door on the fourth floor of the main • building, for heaven's sake let me out of this. Good gracious! what shall I do? he cried, running over fifteen Fish coming up, as be rushed down. Oh, my! It will happen sure; I know it; 1 know it. Mercy on me! he repeated, in a voice of mortal terror, as he rushed down the stairway. I y this time several friends had become interested to know what could Ik. the matter, and gave chase. Some others followed out of curiosity. Like the rapid descent of a heaven-l orn meteor, the unfortunate wretch shot on down the long passage. Banisters flew by like swallows on the wing. Pillars were wrenched and twisted by the awful rush of excited cadetory, which momentarily increased as more and still more cadets joined in the flight. Every one on the lower floors was fleeing to a place of safety. Panic soon seized everybody within hearing of the human avalanche. Some weak-hearted ones fainted, and some in their haste leaped the banisters and out of windows. Still the poor fellow sped on. By this time his anguish had risen almost to frenzy. He wept, moaned, shrieked, and fled on. Instructors deserted classes and classes deserted instructors: all joined in the mad rush for life. Out the front of the main building the terror-stricken fellow flew, followed bv his stampeding schoolmates. Across the parade-ground he ran, into Ross Hall and up the stairway, his hair streaming out behind, his tongue and eyes protruding out in front. Entering his room he slammed the door and was lost to view. Those in pursuit sped along in his trail only to find the door barred against them. With a united rush they burst it in only to find a mild blue-eyed Senior gravely studying a l ook. What on earth is the matter? ” they cried. “ Nothing, he calmly replied. 1905 THE LONG HORN 4 Post-Graduate Jerome C. Cochran . . Houston, Texas B. S. Entered 'oi, Graduated ’04.

Fresh from the vast grassy plains, the rocky, cactus-covered hills, the cotton fields, the cedar brakes, the swamps, and the pine woods of Texas. But in this conglomeration of humanity there existed brain and brawn which lacked but training and development. As Seniors we number but forty-three. Step by step we have climbed to this position, and at each step some of us have fallen. Nature's law of the survival of the fittest has been severely enforced. In those of us who have, by perseverance and ceaseless toil, reached the goal, the brain and the brawn have been trained and developed. The classroom, the athletic field, the drill-grounds, and the social environments have all contributed their parts to our mental, moral, and physical upbuilding. From the beginning, our career as a Class has been one of which its every member may justly be proud. As Seniors we have borne well our responsibilities. Petty factional differences and personal prejudices have been unknown, and our every proceeding has been that of a conservative and united body. The discipline of the corps has never been better. An example has been set to those who follow us, the influence of which will be felt long after we have gone. Although we may well be proud of what we have accomplished, we have not yet proved our success. This must be demonstrated after we have gone out into the world to face the more serious problems of human life. A college career is only the means—good citizenship is the end. Since, however, “ the boy is father to the man,” the end, too, must lx? a success. As we leave this institution, fully conscious of the great good we have received, we take this means of expressing our gratitude to those who have made possible our education—the citizens of Texas. 68 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill Senior Sentiments In order to form a definite idea of what the Seniors think on certain things, the following questions were asked them and their answers tabulated on opposite page. ist. What do you admire most in a girl ? 2d. What color of eyes do you prefer ? 3d. What do you admire most in a man ? One senior C.

He says further that he would reverence such a quality. !9°5 THE LONG HORN 69 « NAME FIRST Abney Fudge Making Ballard Ability to Cook Becker Features Born Sincerity Boyce Purity Church Sincerity Cruse Modesty Durst Modesty Eiilbrs Stateliness Farmer Sincerity Forsgakd Gentleness Garza Kindness Glass Faithfulness Hanna Sincerity IIaUCK Pretty Form Hill Sincerity Holzman Form Knoli.e Features Kraulik Sincerity Leary Sweet Disposition Lind em an Seriousness Marburc.hr Kindness Mi near Faithfulness McFarland Sweet Disposition McLennan Independence Oliver Shapely Form Pendleton Afraid to say Price Beauty Sammons Sincerity Schroeder Tender heart Sternberg Modesty Street Common sense Stubbs Femininencss Washburn Independence Webb Fidelity Welhausbn Sweet disposition Wheeler 1ndcpcndence Wickes Constancy Wilson Refinement Woodall Independence Woods Loveliness Wysb Sincerity Yocum Sincerity SECOND THIRD Blue Abstinence Dark Brown Common sense Blue Liberality Brown Integrity Brown Self-reliance Blue Manliness Brown Intelligence Dark Blue Honesty Brown Patience Brown Integrity Blue Courteousness Black Self-control Immaterial Stability Blue Strong Character Brown Manliness Brown Honesty Blue Courage Blue Staying Qualities Brown Will-power Brown Sparkling Brown Determination Brown Will-power Dark Blue Honesty Brown Honesty Brown Integrity Dark Eyes Common sense Dreamy Not Interested Blue Executive Ability Brown True Character Blue Courage Goo-Goo Courage Brown Courage Brown Will-power Brown Build Brown Gentlemanlincss Black Gentlemanliness Blue Will-power Brown Truthfulness.

Ill Junior Class History ERODOTL’S, unlike Rip Van Winkle, was an unlucky man, unlucky because lie had only the victories of armies and the downfall of nations to relate. Lucky me, for I have been destined to write the history of the Junior Class. It was in the month of September and in the year of nineteen hundred and two when the breezes blew, and wafted us through thin atmosphere from all parts of the State and left us standing on these sacred college grounds. Even if homesickness prevailed in the inner man we did not shrink or beg for mercy when the many puffed-up beings around us beat upon our bodies. We did not take offense when they attached unto us the name of Fish, for we had read in Holy Writ of the tale of Jonah and the whale. We did not actually devour the many Jonahs al out us for they were not tempting morsels. We only showed our teeth. And as the months passed, our teeth grew to large proportions and we began to devour honors. We were glad, and the whole college was glad, when a big Fish made the first touch-down in the history of the school against that awful demon, the University of Texas. We arc proud of the fact that when the Juniors and the Sophomores combined against us we resented and again opened our mouths and showed our teeth; aye, we went further and attacked them with a mighty rush, and bit into their flesh. Cruel Class! And on field day the Fish, the whale, actually grinned and flapped his tail and nailed the ’06 banner high, and far away from the dust of defeat. In baseball too the many Fish were at home, for four of the scaly tribe donned the padded uniform. Then June came and the scales of the Fish dropped to the ground and he became a college man, like unto the rude caterpillar who wraps himself into his cocoon and emerges the brilliant butterfly. A second time September rolled around and we were seen once more. As the breezes blew and the Fish came we were harsh. Many were the belts and unused razor strops, and they descended. We were very harsh. But what of that ? Were we not Sophomores? We were also strong and mighty, and our strongness was felt throughout the entire college walls before the sun had set upon our second year. - Three lucky members of our Class fought upon the gorv gridiron and won for themselves laurel wreaths as 1905 THE LONG HORN 77 well as sweaters. Did we stop at this? Nay! nay! In the Class rush we, with the aid of a few Juniors, laid low the many Freshmen forever. Greedy for more glory, we prepared for victory on field-day. The fleet of foot and the jumpers were gotten out and trained by careful hands. Day after day they ran and jumped, until the one eventful day, when we reaped the golden harvest of victory. As the dust cleared away on the battle-field the Class of ’06 was proclaimed the champion of the college. Brilliant victory! Glorious achievement! What more could a class ask than to go hand in hand with success? When vacation came the title of Sophomore was taken from us— we were branded with the name of Junior. Many of the sturdy Texans who entered with the Class of ’06 had fallen by the wayside and who can gainsay me when I write that the l est of that mighty body is left. Only the drone and the sluggard have been unable to keep the pace of college life. Now there remains that element which is the stuff that men are made of. We know it, for it has been proven so. Five of the scarlet college “ C.’s ” adorn the broad chests of as many Juniors. As these men struggled on the checkered battle-field they brought honor to the college and glory to the Class. Thanksgiving came and the day of football died away. Time brings many things, and with it—February. Ah! here was the chance for a test of strength and a thorough one, the Class fight. The Freshmen (cute little Freshmen) were making preparations. Their password was 44 Cornell.” Mighty things were heard. We began to pale with fear. Yea, they would fix us. Hear them yell! We waited with bated breath. But what was this? The noise and the preparation died out like a sweet sea-breeze upon a desert plain, and the gigantic Cornell melted into aqueous vapor. But even if we could not have a chance to fight we could eat. So for a banquet. The tables were spread, and the things spread thereon were demolished. Toasts were s| oken and drunk with the red punch. Need it be said that it was a success? That is evident for it was given by our Class. What we have accomplished we know, but what is to come no man knoweth. Let us continue in the broad path of progress, so when retreat shall sound at the end of our career it can lx? truthfully said of us that we have aquitted ourselves like men. 7 THE LONG HORN VOL.

In the fall of 1903 a large number of honest, enthusiastic and well-meaning young men came to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. It had long been the custom at this place for the upper classmen to haze the new students. Accordingly, before they had been on the campus twenty-four hours, the majority of these unsuspecting fellows were stretched across a trunk and given a good Hogging. A few men were known to leave the college before marticulating l ccause of this treatment. Others left because they could not matriculate. Those who were far enough advanced entered the Sophomore Class, leaving a balance of about one hundred and forty to be dubbed Freshmen of the Class of ’07. One hundred of these men returned to College last September, and they constitute the present Sophomore Class. They were full-fledged college men, free to strive for their weal or woe under their adopted banner. They plunged into the task like men, and for unity, brains, and grit, the Class of ’07 loses nothing by comparison with any other class that has entered this College. In the classroom. After they became accustomed to college life, the Freshmen of ’03-04, made some of the highest grade averages of the school. So excellent were some of the Freshmen’s compositions that one of the professors in English suggested to the editors of the Battalion that they let the Freshmen edit the magazine for one month. This suggestion was favorably received, and as a result the Battalion for April, 1904, was a production of the Class of ’07. The excellence of this work was highly praised by all Battalion subscribers. Last commencement an interesting feature of the Drawing Department was the Freshman work, and the Freshmen exercises in shop were equally good. The work of these same men as Sophomores is fully as satisfactory in each one of the several branches that they now pursue. Athletics. The Class of ’07 has not very many football players in her ranks, but these few represented the Class admirably during both of the past seasons, and some of the best players on last year’s baseball team were ’07 4 84 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill men. We expect to make a better record in baseball this year than we made last. In fact special measures have been adopted by the Class to increase the interest in baseball and other athletics. A special inducement is offered by the Class to her men who score a certain number of points in class contests on next “ Field Day. Thoughts of our defeat on last “Field Day will give wings to our feet in the coming contest. Conclusion. An unusual trait of the present Sophomore Class, which is commended by the College authorities, is their respect for the present Freshmen, regardless of the harsh treatment that they received as Freshmen last year. This spirit of good-will has helped mightily to destroy the hazing mania that has raged for so long at this College. I.et justice and right be stamped upon the banner of '07. and may the world be made better by receiving the men who are to graduate under her folds.

Hut he that cares to know and cares not who knows that he cares to know, he is a Freshman; respect him. The Freshman Class of 1905, by various means that we are too modest to mention, except one which, we may say, is the Freshman’s sheer physical prowess as exemplified in Cornell. The Hales, etc., etc., etc., etc., has literally, forced this respect from the upper classes. 'Flic first few days, for some curious reason, the upper classmen did not show any special marks of respect toward the Freshman: merely showing him such casual honors as exhibiting much interest in the taste of his cash at the Mess Hall, paying him visits at night and leaving small tokens of remembrance, generously presenting him with buckets of water perched above his chamber door,” and such like honors. These, however, only proved an incentive for higher things, and speedily extending his sphere of activity into every branch of the college life, lie soon had honors pouring in upon him from every direction. I’robably that which the Freshman is most proud of is the small number of withdrawals from his Class. Very few there are who have had the experience of one man we have heard of: surpassed, indeed we may say equalled, by no other class in College. When we say that there were eleven Freshmen on the football squad, of whom five made the training table, and one made the all-southwestern team, we might sav nnfT said; but we must say further that anything so cold and un- Dear Father. wrote the college man, “ I'm coining home; I’m canned.

On the gridiron, on the diamond, or on the track, the orange and black has never failed to take a large share in carrying the beloved red and white to victory. Literary clubs, musical clubs, college clubs, society, and every branch of college life has come within his octopian grasp only to be reinvigorated and set down on a firmer footing than before. We would like to give space to each one of these separately but it is impossible to give here a detailed statement of every one of his achievements, and so we must leave this to the reader’s imagination assuring him that he can not bv any manner of means conceive an exaggeration.

The night of January 18th was a huge mass of darkness occasionally illuminated bv a flash of lightning. And the rain, with the aid of the wind, beat the old Vikings funeral march against my window-panes. I know that it was on such nights that Macbeth’s ghost might be seen strutting the streets. It was also the night for the weird sisters to meet and foretell the future. After concentrating my thoughts on them for a few moments, I must have been put in communion, for I now heard marvelous things and saw strange sights: three witches of the most hideous aspect and robed in long mantles with hoods. They were gathered around a hearth and going through movements which I took to be modifications of Jiu Jitsu. making peculiar piercing noises. When they finally came to a halt they began to converse in a language that I recognized, and their eyes, for each possessed but one, shone with extreme brightness. First Witch—Where hast thy course been sister? Second Witch—The lawmakers of the Star State sat round a money pile and pronounced, to wisdom, to knowledge— Third Witch—And thou, sister, where? First Witch—A soldier’s captain had epaulets on his desk, (live me a soldier quoth. ‘ Aroint thee to the Wingless Angel Squad, he cried, And rammed, and rnmVned. and rammed. But a second soldier came and said. ‘To whet the dullness of the rustic To fabric a college. Give me—friends, ram. I’ll do. I'll do. I'll do.” And him the captain a pair of epaulets threw. First Witch—What new news sister? THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill 114 Third Witch—A toiling class of Engineers, C. E. For many moons received no commendation. Albeit they had deserved much credit and applause. And I do hereby wish them inland bred. Eirst Witch—And I happiness. Second Witch—And I prosperity. All Witches— The world is round, and round we go, and round we go again; And as our lamps we sway, Fortune will come our way. The first witch now took a small package from some unseen place, and as she opened it a dense smoke ascended; when it had cleared away I saw that the witches had vanished and found myself looking at dear A. and M. Things looked changed. The wheel of time must have eventually turned through several cycles, for I was informed that Cobolini brothers were now in the Senior Class. And as I gazed on my wonder grew for I beheld a large and stately natatorium, one of which Croesus himself might be proud, and by looking on the corner-stone I saw that it was the work of Forsgard and Wilson. The next thing that crossed my line of vision was an electric car, and on it in gilt letters I rdad “ The Phantom Flyer,” and the stockholders of the line I was later informed were Oliver and Abney. The thing that most attracted my attention were the scats; however, so many passengers were alx ard, there was always one empty seat. I also failed to sec the kind-hearted old lady with her sunbonnet, her basket of eggs, and her darling pug. Had time removed her? I now noticed the ease with which I walked. I looked down, my clothes were not bespattered with mud, and my shoes still possessed all their reflecting capacity. I was aware that it had rained during the night and in utter astonishment muttered, “ Where, 0I1! where, has all the mud gone to? ” “ Ha! chuckled a pleasant old gentleman, in response to his feelings, who had overheard me. “ that was solved by Farmer and Marburger, and as you appear to be a stranger I will briefly relate the history of that noble C. E. Class of ’05. “ To begin with there was one whom we all called ‘ Grandpa,’ whose literary ambition has reached its zenith. The works of Milton and Shakespeare lie has far surpassed. “ He was closely followed by a chap from La Grange, who became i9°5 THE LONG HORN 5 the victim of the brick craze, and presented to the world a famous building brick. “ Another was Edgar M., an orator by birth, but who has since changed his vocation and has developed to be a first-class sport. “I must not forget to mention Baldy Dave: A poetic bridge-builder of renown. Came from old Ireland Town, Who built a bridge of silver and gold. And so the story long’s been told, Where lovers would come to sit. and sit. and sit. And admire the scenery just a little bit. While cupid plays the blind man’s part. The youth pours out the trouble of his heart, While the moon looks down in silent ccstacy.’ “Why,” I now interrupted, “do you tell me so much about C. E.’s? Were there no M. E.’s and Agr.’s in that Class? He nodded and a shadow of sorrow crept over his face. ' Yes,” he replied, “ but their story is a sad and pathetic one. Those who pursued Agriculture had followed Old Betsy in vain, for rains descended, floods came, the boll-weevil lent its helping hand while the kiefer bug rendered valuable assistance in mowing down the crops with his battle-axe. And when their stock caught the hay fever they gave up in despair. “ The M. E.’s are in a sorry plight since steam has been displaced bv electricity and the great forces of radium. He next pointed to what seemed to Ik? a large Roman amphitheatre and said, “ That athletic field is the result of mv toil. And the building on the right is my establishment, through whose doors many a volume of that valuable book has left.” “ What book do you speak of?” I inquired. He now handed me the book the title of which was “ The Key to Matrimony.” “ This is my koran,” he continued. “ It has brought much happiness to the younger generation, while it delights the older one. and if I judge not wrongly you may have need for it. Thinking it Inflonged to the Tip Top family but vet not wishing to be discourteous I opened it and read: ARTICLE XXII. How to get full benefit of the evening’s call when the gas burns low.

And it came to pass that, after Boreas had painted the leaves crimson and had streaked the brown hills with white and when all the world was rejoicing over splendid harvests, a warrior led his people into the land of the Tehos. 2. And they pitched their tents to the eastward and digged them foundation stones and raised themselves goodly houses (their descendants raised many a rough one) and they did possess the land in peace and plenty. 3. So they dwelt in the fertile valley of the Brasoz, yea they fed their Hocks u|x)ii the hills of C. K. and even unto the plains of Agriculture. 4. Many years did they live in the land and great was their renown as warriors and hunters (of hugs). 5. Now it came to pass that there arose a mighty warrior among them and they called his name Omar because he was King of the Wise. ( . And he did lead his army out to do battle with the forces of ignorance and they did fight. 7. Many are the laws which this mighty champion of wisdom did enforce. and many were the horrible tortures which he devised for those who failed to harken unto them. So it come to pass that he was a terror in the land and many were they that did bow down l efore him. 8. Now the land waxed rich and many strangers did come to dwell therein. 9. And Omar called Taurus, his captain, and said unto him: gather my warriors together into winter quarters. Thou shalt separate them into four tribes and the members of each triln shall not be determined by their valor nor by their wisdom but by their stature shalt thou separate them. 10. Now he put his mark on each tril e and over each he placed a chieftain and unto him gave he subs. 11. And he sayeth unto the chieftain, thou and thy subs shall require that every warrior keep my covenant and should he walk not in my ways thou shalt surely ram him. 12. Again he caused them to be divided into groups according to their understanding: by their perception divided he them. i9©5 THE LONG HORN '23 13. He sayetli to the first group: ye shall be called Class the First and shall have dominion over your younger brethren, yea with the second group —which shall be called Class the Second—shall ye rule your brethren as with a rod of iron. 14. And he spake unto the third group saying, ye shall be called Class the Third and as ye shall often be up against it ye shall be filled with much tenacity, for with your younger brethren—Class the Fourth—shall ye serve, yea for many days shall ye do the bidding of your elder brethren. 15. So he spoke unto the fourth group and said: ye shall be called “ Fish ” for ye fin every one, even your own brethren do ye fin. Ye shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water; and because of your love for water shall ye often be wet and many times in the night shall ye rise and give yourselves into the hands of your tormentors, for it is written, ye shall amuse your brethren. 16. Then Taurus commanded that every man should provide himself with raiment which should be like unto the others and this only should he wear. But for the chieftains and their subs prescribed he certain straps and marks by which they might be known. 17. And he armed his warriors with Springfields and gave certain commands as to the manner of their cleaning and he who cleaned not as it was written was surely rammed. 18. Moreover he said to his musicians; ye shall play certain strains early in the morning and late in the evening that my warriors may know when to wake and when to sleep. 19. And the great warrior looked upon it and saw that it was good. II. 1. Now early in the morning the musicians do rise and do play each on his horn. Some warriors hear not so rise not and accordingly is he rammed, but he who hearcth putteth on his apparel in great haste. But ere he has adjusted his raiment a quick call falleth on his ear and he hastencth forth dressing as he descends the stairs for he that is late at R. R. C. is also guilty of the law. 2. When they have gathered together the chief puts them to task and many do moan over their labors. 3. Now when they have finished their work they return unto their cells where they do prepare for meat. 124 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill 4. Again the musicians play and the warriors assemble in the midst of Mars Hill where their names are called, every man according to his tribe. 5. When they have come to the place of the breaking of bread they do eat, yea most manfully do they fall to. 6. Then cal let h Taurus certain warriors to be the keepers of the city. He arms them with the shield of authority, the bow of watchfulness and a quiver of rams. 7. Now about the third hour all the warriors do prepare for battle for there are many terrible enemies to lx overcome. 8. ()mar sends some of them forth to fight the Pewees, some strive with the Little Jimmies, who, though small in stature, are valiant foes and many warriors do fall before them. Others go out unto the Fountainites where they are slain, yea great hosts are smitten. At about the seventh hour recall soundeth and the warriors again take meat. ( . Now when the day has waxed old they again go forth in chosen bands; some to spy out the Valleys of Vet., and even unto the Caverns of C hem., while their comrades are drawing plans for new abodes and making maps of the enemies’ country. 10. Taurus again assembles his hosts upon the plains of Marengo and does show forth the excellencies of Napoleon's first campaign. But the warriors sigh not for more worlds to conquer if this be the manner of attack. 11. After the warriors have partaken of the evening meal they go unto their cells where the first of the guard doth also come and woe be unto the warrior who is not in his cell when the guard cometh. 12. Then for the space of three sentinels the warriors do make plans for the morrow’s conflict. But ere they have finished their plans tattoo soundeth and they put out their lights, for it is written: there is nothing doing after taps. III. 1. After the tribe had dwelt in the land of Tehos for many days Omar, the King of the Wise, spoke unto his people and said, my children we have won many victories, yea many of our enemies have been overcome. Our graineries are full; truly the feed barfi doth burst with new goober vines. So let us have a season of rest and live at peace with all mankind. 2. And he saveth: many of my warriors have served me long, yea they are worthy followers and arc fit to go out into the world and become leaders i9°5 THE LONG HORN 25 of men. So I will allow them to leave my service and will give them certain letters commending them to all men. 3. The warriors received these tidings with great gladness, yea with exceeding joy did they shout. 4. Now was it noised abroad that there would be a season of rejoicing and great multitudes of people were bidden unto the feast. 5. The first of the days has come and the warrior taketh himself unto the shops and labs that the people may sec what he knoweth. 6. It is evening and Taurus saveth to the warriors prepare ye for drill and the warriors drill before the multitude and the judges give the trophy to the tribe that behaves itself most seemly. 7. On the morning of the second day. Omar gathereth his warriors about him and giveth unto each of Class the First a skin upon which is written the name of the foes he had overcome. 8. Now when the evening had fully come the tribes gather for the last time. From the pursuits of blood the warriors turn aside to worship at the shrine of Terpsichore, and they bow down before her and do worship with music and dancing. 9. So the members of Class the First launch their staunch barks on the tempestuous deep whose ever-diverging billows will waft them to preeminence. ( Kala Kinasis Club Henry B.

Grim-visaged men. crowned with hanging, willow wreaths. With an object set in view they do not pause Or hesitate, but they pursue their course with gritted teeth. Veterans they are indeed, for three long years have they Answered to the many bugle calls at morning, noon and night. The grinding life of college tired not them, I say, But like old warriors they preferred to stay and fight It out. When drilling in the hot and broiling sun, With perspiration streaming from the heated brow, Perhaps they’ve cussed the dear old rusty gun. Perhaps these Vets, have raised a mighty row When weak from hunger and when tired of hash. Maybe, too, when lost all patience, they have acted rude And said things quite unlike “Oh, Fudge!” “Oh, Dash!” Some smoke tobacco in pipes and cigarettes, Some chew the weed and hold it dear, A few play cards and wager little bets. Others drink scup ” and good old lager beer. They have their faults, but they are brave, I guess, For sitting in the gloomy classrooms here They've had zeros hurled at them, thousands (more or less), Yet they sat straight up and never thought of fear. You sec that in this life they have every one made good When before the many judges they have stood the grinding test And the judges all have written, as any good judge would. That the Veterans to a single man are all among the best. Out with your handkerchiefs and wipe away the tears, Why should the cause be lost when everything is gained? For now the Vets, are It and for them we give three cheers, And a thundering salute for the honor they’ve attained. J. R. T. P. L. Downs, Jr W. A.

SEE these grey hairs in me head. Hinnissy? How did it happen, did ye say? This is the way it star-rted. I was walkin’ down Browdway whin I saw me ould frind, Dugan. “ Dugan,” I says, as I slaps him on the hack, “how are yeas? But whin he tur-rned around I found that it wasn’t Dugan at all, at all, but another gintleman from Ireland. He opined iiis massive jaw an’ says so’thing that manes “ Go to Hades,” only not as perlite. So I wrote a letther to an ould frind of moine at th’ A. and M.

He led me straight to th’ nathatorium. Th’ nathatorium, Hinnissy, is an illigant structure an’ is th best vintilated buildin’ on th’ groun’s. On me way out I got me foot sthuck in a mud hole an’ was gradjully sinkiti’ fer th’ thr’rud toime whin me frind waded in. at th’ rhisk uv his own loife, an’ saved me frum deat’. A nice air-ry buildin' it is. an’ they are thinkin’ of convartin’ it into an ice-house. We thin went to th’ Mess Hall where iverything was in a mess.

Wal, ye will, if ye iver eat any uv th’ steak. I was thin showed th’ office uv th' pr-rofissor on Illictrical Inginccrin’. It was inthrestin’, f’r iverything was full of pa-aper ixcept th’ waste baskhet. Th’ nixt soight browght tears to me eyes. That was whin I saw th’ rooms in Gawthr-right Ha-all.

It browght back me boyhood days, whin I dhreamed uv bein’ a rhobber an’ livin’ in a dingy came. “What is nixt?” I axed me frind. f’r now I was p’rpared f’r th’ wur-rst. “ Grit yer teeth.” he answers. “ I am goin’ to show ye th’ Faculthy.” They wasn’t so awful, only funny an’ sa-ad, like th’ comic shupplinicnt us a Sunday pa-aper (maneing no har-um agin th’ pa-apers) x9°5 THE LONG HORN j 61 I fur-rst saw “ der Captain ” with a yallcr sthripc down his leg, sittin in his office, chewin’ Star’r Navy.

It has been only a few years since we were able to employ a physical director, and under his careful supervision this college now occupies a position in which it can successfully compete with the colleges and universities of the Southwest. In the various branches of athletics which have claimed our attention, our progress in baseball, football and track have been remarkably successful. In football our team of ’02 won for its Alma Mater undying renown— the championship of the Southwest. Though our teams of 03 and 04 have not been quite so successful, they have been a credit to the institution, and several of the number have earned places on the all-South western team. In the season of ’03 Benjamin merited this distinction, and in 04 McFarland and Cornell. Three years ago baseball had received no marked attention, and it has only been within the last two years that a team, well equipped and supported bv the College, has been sent forth to contest with the leading colleges and universities of the Southwest. The team of ’03, considering its infancy and the many disadvantages under which it labored, made a creditable showing. The team of '04, notwithstanding the poor prospects at the beginning of the season, succeeded, by hard work and constant practice, in blossoming forth into a team which merited the respect and admiration of all its opponents. To its excellent team work, as well as loyal support of the student body, may be attributed in a large degree its marked success. So formidable had our team become during the latter part of the season that the most favorable terms could not induce the “invincible” University of Texas to play 11s another game. A contract has been let for an athletic field, and every effort will be made to complete it for the coming baseball season. The athletic field will enable the corps to witness more games played on the home ground, as well as enabling the management to schedule games with the more important colleges and universities. � 78 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill T The prospects for a winning baseball team this season arc quite encouraging. We have again with us this year eight of our old players, namely. Hanna, Church, Crooks, Hackney, Lipscomb, Reese. Wessendorf, Lane, and Moore, as well as a great many new experienced players. With such a bright prospect it can safely be predicted that the baseball team of 05 will reflect credit and honor upon its Alma Mater, and will be looked upon with pleasure and pride as worthy defenders of the Red and White. 19°5 THE LONG HORN 79 In Past Days IT was the ist of March, 1997, that a small body of diligent Ainem College students were busily and excitedly engaged in work over a couple of jars setting before them. 1 knew that they were some of the foremost scholars of the age, and when I accidentally entered the room 1 could not restrain my curiosity enough to refrain from asking one of the number what it was that attracted their attention so closely. “ Hush, man,” he said, excitedly, and shaking all over as with the ague, “ in those bottles you see what no other man of God’s ever saw in his waking moments before. Man, in those bottles you see the soul of a man—the soul of a man that, if our experiments come true, will soon be entirely in our power, and as perfectly at our beck and call as the lightning and thunder are now. It will—” “My God!” suddenly broke from one of the students, and at once something happened. What it was I do not know. All that 1 do know is that when I looked at the bottles both of them had turned a blinding white, and then we all, apparently simultaneously, l ecame aware that something else was in the room, not because we saw it. nor heard it, nor felt it, nor by any other sense that I can name in English, but we simply knew it. “ Well, it does look like there is to be no rest for us i oor damned souls, we heard something say. What was it? Where was it? Was it one of the students talking? Did it come from the room? Xo. It was Nothing and it came from Nowhere, but still it continued: “ Men, mine is no hard-luck story, and I do not like to complain, but surely this is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, or, as we used to say, the last raw in that makes the student flunk. Men, for countless trillions of civilizations back have I followed my weary path of existence. When did I begin; when will I end? Never. I measure my existence not by years, not by centuries, but by civilizations, for in the great plan of our God He has ordained that great civilizations shall rise to the heights only to fall to the depths in a certain time, and then to rise again higher than before, and these rises are the steps in my existence. I may mention here, men, that another of these steps is about to fall, for men your civilization lias reached its heights, and must just as inevitably fall. i8o THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill “ Far from confining my existence to this locality, I have dwelt in the bodies of men in every land of your world, and on lands now covered by seas. Xot only this world have I covered, but I have inhabited all other worlds of the universe. Besides this universe, I have dwelt in inconceivably great numbers of other universes, and countless universes of universes. This small universe you are enabled to see with mortal eyes is only to the vaster universe as a grain of sand is to yours. Your world is only an inconceivably small, insignificant atom in your universe, and that in turn is only an immeasurably small atom in the vaster universe. And I may say that the solid that is made up by these atoms—for comparatively speaking it is a solid—has no end and no beginning; it never has had and never shall have. “ But, men, this is dry. I doubt not that science has already discovered so much. From my immense store of knowledge, acquired in an endless existence, what is it you would like to have me tell? “ Tell us, we said, “ tell us about life in our Alma Mater a century ago. What was the school then? What was it like? Who was there? What did they do?” There was silence for a moment, then the voice continued: “ In 1904 I was in the body of a man who entered Ainem College as a Fish—” “ A which? broke from one of the listeners. “ A Fish; that is what they called the fourth classmen,” said the Voice, and while we all looked perfectly mystified at the absurdity of the thing, all kept silent. “ 'Fhe first few days were hard on me,” the Voice kept on. “ Many a night did I have water thrown on me while in bed, my face blackened while aslecn, often laid over the table by superior numbers and strapped, made to— “ Augli. go take a seat in the rear,” some one burst in irreverently. “ I expect we are pretty much fools compared with you, but you can’t sell us by making us swallow anything like that.” “ That is not all, It continued, in the same even voice. “ Once was I tied to the railroad rails—you have probably read alxmt railroads in history —while a train went by—on the other track. Once they made sport of me by stripping me. putting me in a bowl of water, and seeing who could spin me around the most at one time. Once they tied another Fish and I together, blindfolded us. gave us each a bowl of ' rcg.’ and made us feed each other. Such humiliations were constantly with us.” “But why was all this,” we said; “what had you done? We have !9°5 THE LONG HORN 181 heard that in the olden times near 1900 they used to be so foolish as to try to punish a man when he did something against what they called the law. But what heinous crime of crimes could you have possibly committed to deserve such punishment as this?” “ Verily,” quoth the Voice. 1 was a Fish.” “ That spook is either crazy or in a mighty deep coke, one. chuckled somebody. ” But why did you allow such things? Why did you not protect yourself? “ I’m sure I don’t know: it does seem strange. There is no reason why we didn’t; it would have been infinitely better for us to have gone down in the dust of a glorious defeat than to have never raised an arm in defense. I believe the school put a stop to it the next year. But so much for that. The day after my arrival they gave us all guns and—” “Guns? Oh, yes”—as remembrance flashed on me—“1 remember reading of such things now as being great instruments of murder with which men used to go out and slaughter each other, and defenseless animals as well. But why did you use them; surely you students were not going to take any one’s life.” “ Well, I don’t know why it was,” the Voice answered slowly, and I have always imagined that spook tried to scratch his head, but didn’t have any to scratch. “ Yes,” it went on. “ they made 11s drill for about three hours a week, and we walked sentinel about two hours a week, and we marched to every meal, and—” “ Wha-a-a-t! Say, just cheese that hot air, will you? You must be the spook of J110. T. Wysc, whose fame has come down to us. You will have to quote 11s about ninety per cent, discount on that hunch before we can accept it. that they made you waste an hour a day that way. Pure waste. Spiel on,” some one said. And then when we were walking sentinels we were supposed to make everybody study: we carried a gun on our shoulders; we were supposed to report every man that swerved a fingcr’s-breadth from the straight, narrow, and diabolical path : we were forced to pay honor to men who happened to have a higher rank than ourselves, without the least regard to our relative capabilities ; we made every man as much a prisoner in his room as any criminal used to he in his cell; if we—” “ But, my dear friend, one of our number managed to say, while the remainder of us were in a st te of utter collapse, “ why was all this? Why did you carry a gun? Would you have shot one of the students if he had 182 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill broken a rule? How could you make a man study? Would you have reported another student for something that you would have done yourself, and for which that same student might have reported you the next night? Did it not become so that you merely reported your enemies and let your fritnds go? “ Hut what cared you for getting reported? Demerits? And so many demerits, and you were what they called deficient ? Why, it seems to me that that system simply taught that it was all right to do wrong to a certain amount; that it took away all idea of a mail’s thinking for himself what was right and what was wrong, and simply taught that all was all right just as long as the offender was not caught, and did not get too many demerits. Did it not work that way? “ Well, maybe so, I don’t know; but the Big Two said it was all right, so it must have been all right. “ Hosli! Can’t you see that our present system is infinitely better than that. Now we have only one punishment; that is simply expulsion. We go on the idea that wasting an education on a fool or a weakling is worse than putting a diamond necklace on a sow; we consequently want to get rid of this class just as quickly as possible, and we dismiss any one instantcr that shows the least hit of such a character. Other men arc men enough to preserve good order: at least, the majority of this kind is so great that the whole body is forced that way.” “ Well, you may be right, I don’t know,” the Voice said. “ When I again enter into life I will have a chance to test the new way and compare it with the old. This, however, only after I have again entered into spirit form, for while in human shape 1 lose all recollection of my past existence, and, in fact, many men even doubt there being a previous life. I myself have been of this numl er in many of my lives, hut now in spirit form, I can remain still and think calmly of those foolish ideas and doings of mine in life. Hut I stray from what you asked me to tell you of. “ One of our most important days in school then was the day that we got our grades, for then—” “ And pray, what might your grades be?” I asked, in a resigned voice. I had begun to he perfectly immune to surprise by this time. “Grades? Why, they were figures given out once a month by the professors to show our achievements during the month; to show our mental capacity; to tell ns how bright we were; to show us how—” “What! Wonder of wonders! Well I’ll he sworn! Why, lookey here. Spook, with all our achievements in science during the past century. !9°5 THE LONG HORN l83 wc are enabled to do practically anything that we wish; we can measure anything under or above the sun—excepting the capacity of the human brain and a man’s capabilities. That has stumped us. And yet you come and tell us that that secret was known to the ancients a century ago. Out with it, Spook, out with it! Tell me that secret, and my fame and fortune are made. Tell it to me.” This is the way that they worked it then,” the Voice continued, with a smile in his voice. “ Every day the Professor would give the student a certain task to get out of a certain book; the student would then come before the Professor the next morning to be quizzed by him to find out if he had diligently perused the seven pages given him as a task. If it seemed as if he had, the Professor would grade him ten, but if any details had slipped his memory he would be graded lower. The student would leave the room, unaccompanied by the information that he had just given the Professor. '1 hat, men, was the system.” “ U-u-u-gh was all we said. “ The hardest time of our school days was during the examination for then we—” Cr-a-a-a-ck! Smash! Bang! Crack! The jars burst into a thousand pieces, there was a blinging flash as if of lightning; all was over, and we stood in that room and looked each other foolishly in the face. Calskran. THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill 184 Things Worth Knowing The perfect man (according to A. and M. statistics) is 5' 82-3 high, is 18 years 5 months old, and weighs 143 lbs. Seventy-five per cent, of the corps came here for “ business,” 20 per cent, came because they could not overcome the paternal will; the remaining 5 per cent, had various reasons for coining ranging from “ trying to pass time away ” to “ seeking a haven for a broken heart. As to what the men were going to do after getting out into the world, many answers were given. The majority, however, intend following the profession they are learning at College; a few have an inclination toward speedy matrimony, while half a dozen or so will spend their declining years with pa and 111a at home on the farm. A fairly good number, al out 10 per cent., are working their way through College, while about 13 per cent, work enough to pay one-half of their expenses. In answer to the question, “What is your favorite recreation?” there were many men of many minds. Sleeping, however, seemed to head the list, followed by baseball, football, and general athletics. Coking and playing hands were also methods by which some of the cadets amuse themselves. Professor J. A. Lomax was voted the most popular professor with Professor Potts a close second. Captain Bill Price, of “ D” Co., for the most popular cadet, won in a walk. Thomas B. Sammons is the most military man, followed bv Woodall and Pendleton, D. Most diligent student, Ben Marburger. It has been said of him that he even goes to classes on April 1. This statement, however, could not be verified. G. L. Reese was an almost universal favorite when it came to choosing a hot-air spieler. Burns, H., who is somewhat windy himself, came out second best. There is only one really dignified man at College and that’s “ Chappie Garth. There were a few others in the race, but they never had the ghost of a show. THE LONG HORN J9©5 lS5 If brains count for anything, H. S. Woods is right there with the real article. Two hundred and fifty out of the three hundred votes cast for the brightest student were his. Orr and Lcnert tied for first place in the contest for the most conceited man. They are both bearing their honors meekly. I11 justice to “ Uncle Pike ” it is only fair to say that he received quite a number of votes for each and every one of the above positions. Ninety-five per cent, of the corps will get Long Horns. This is a pretty good number, but it could and should be better. Chewing, drinking and smoking are vices which are not quite unknown at A. and M., that is, if statistics may be relied upon. Only 32 per cent, say that drinking is a habit they never had,” while 42 per cent, say the same of smoking and 20 per cent. chew. Most of the boozing crowd don't seem to be particular just what they take, as their favorite drinks ranged from Pousse Cafe and Paul Jones down to red soda water and separated milk. The smokers were more fastidious. La Flor de Cabbagio (for which the campus merchant is the sole agent in Texas) pure Havanas, Duke’s Mixture, and Bull Durham are a few of the good smokes in which a cadet finds consolation or enjoyment, as the case may he. Those who do not smoke seek pleasure in a chew of good old Star Navy or Drummond Natural Leaf, both of which seem equally popular. Each cadet spends on an average of $282.78 per school year. Of this between $60 and $70 are spent in Bryan. About fio per cent, of the corps are satisfied with the present bill of fare at the Mess Hass, although nearly every student in the College thinks there might be an improvement made in the way some of the food is cooked. On the whole, however, the corps seem to think they are getting all that can be expected for the money. The greatest need of the school—that same old cry—a new natatormm. A gymnasium, sums ranging from $1 to $50,000,000. dormitories and other buildings are a few of the other greatest needs of the College. Here’s a chance for some philanthropist. Reveille bore off the palm as the greatest nuisance. Fresh Fish, marching to and from Mess Hall and “ Military ” were also declared very troublesome. Six Important People JOKES - VOL. IN THE LONG HORN 905 CRi Durst says ho is going to cut out shaving and razor mustache. A CRAVE PROPOSITION. Lindennan: “ I would hate to be a one-legged man. Sternberg: “ Why ? ” Lindennan: Localise he always has one foot in the grave. FALLING OKI . Mayer: Say. fellows, our waiter is losing flesh.” Little Cob: “ Losing flesh? Well, not from overwork.” Mayer: .Vo. but he’s losing flesh all right. He just dropped our meat in the middle of the floor. Ilrown says that the professors have him faded. He is blue over it too. Just because Kelley is a baseball player is no reason why he should be batty. We hope, however, that it is not catching. VERY CUTTING. Parent (visiting college) : “ That seems to be a very sharp fellow. Son: “Very. He cuts every class.”. TURN OFF THE GAS. YYc all know that the most of what Rums says is gas. therefore we make light of it. ♦.VOTE The editors wish to state that they will uoi be responsible for any one who dies from laughing at these jokes, and will not even pay their funeral expenses. So before reading take out an insurance policy. 905 THE LONG HORN 187 Kirkpatrick: “ I haven’t any more chance of passing this examination than Job’s turkey.” Gilliam : “ Well, you are all right then, for you know Job’s turkey could get through some pretty tight places. You will admit that although Epstein is sometimes haughty he never turns up his nose at anything. Say fellows, ain’t Crooks cute? NO USE. Washburn: “ How would you like to be an engineer and run loco- motives? ” Woodall: “ Not much.” Washburn : “ Why not ? ” Woodall: “ Because I couldn’t catch any.” Black says his face burns every time be shaves. Perhaps he is going to have side burns. HARD ON THE FACULTY. Wclhausen: “ Say, we want to get off some grinds on the Faculty in the Long Horn.” Forsgard: “ We’ve got them fixed, all right.” Welhausen: “ How ? ” Forsgard : “ Going to put their pictures in. Hoyo says it’s hard for him to realize whether he is the prodigal son or the fatted calf. Grace (to old boy) : “ You have been here three or four years. Can you tell me how old this butter is? Old Boy: “ Don’t know. Tt was here when I came.” Professor Spence: “ Mr. Metcalf how do you get a line of levels in a mine? ” Metcalf: Take ’em down in a cage.” 188 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill Fleming says he wonders if Professor Hutson was born bald-headed. Baines says he is going to take the Electrical Engineering course so that he can always have his clothes charged. Wclhausen: “ I am going to make a hit on the stage next winter.” Oliver: “That so? Going to be an actor?” Wclhausen : “ No, I am going to be a stage carpenter and nail down the planks.” Professor Nagle (at C. E. practice): “Give us the plus, Mr. Reese.” Rtcse (hurriedly feeling in his pockets) : “ I didn't bring it with me, professor. Wanted—Somebody who will give him insomnia at chapel.—Adams. Professor Hargis: “ Mr. Foster, how does oxygen effect the body? ” Foster: It makes it run like a steam engine.” Professor Embry (describing the orang-outang to noisy class) : “ Now, if you all really want to know what this hideous animal looks like just keep your attention centered on me. Maxwell (translating “ Vicr augen schcn wehr als zwei ”): “Beer eyes always see two ways. “ Now this is hard luck, said Charley Ward Boyce as he looked at the Battalion, disgusted. What’s the matter? asked a sympathetic friend. “ This is the first time I ever had my name in the paper and now they have it spelled wrong. Cadet (writing home) : “ Please send me thirty bucks.” Papa (answering): “Thirty bucks arc two deer.” Webb: “ Truth hurts, you know.” Farmer: “ Say, Webb, you never did hurt anybody did you?” I Iauck, that’s all. •905 THE LONG HORN 189 HORRIBLE. “ Have you ever had a narrow escape?” asked Pcnncr. “ Once,” said Hackney. “ I was going to Houston and the train was traveling fifty miles an hour. A freight train lay on a siding and our train heaved by, but if by an act of carelessness the switch had been left open we should have been dashed to pieces on the cow catcher.” Curley Lee couldn’t skate during our cold weather, and he got on his car about it. Schiller wants to know if the rails at the intersection of the frog on a railroad arc the frog's legs. “ I ’ll see you later, yelled Grace as Dunning closed up his left eye with an upper cut. A BOW-WOW VERSE. Come Benny Marburgor and show us how (For the sheep is in the meadow And the corn is in the cow) To blow your cornet soft, and low. Bivins suggests that Instructor Whitehead wear a badge so that the Fish can distinguish him from a cadet. Visitor (viewing a pile of rags in cadet’s room) : “ Why what has happened here? Has some vicious dog been in here and torn your garments into threads? Cadet (calmly) : “ Don’t be alarmed. It’s only my clothes back from the laundry.” Uncle Pike says he is sweet thirty-two and never been kissed. Cason is getting so tall that we will have to use Dc Forrest’s system of wireless telegraphy to communicate with him. Charley Ward Boyce knows how to fool the public; paint your legs black and don’t wear any sox. 190 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill “Windy” Noble (speaking of a three-legged dog): “Fellows let s call him ‘ Arithmetic.' Washburn: “ Why ? ” Noble: “ Hccause he puts down three and carries one. If you get tired of reading these grinds just turn over and look at the Freshman picture. Now Ramsay is afraid to shake hands with anybody for fear they will use Jiu Jitsu on him. OUR RIDDLE DEPARTMENT. Where is Professor Potts’ hair? How old is Professor Smith? Why is Professor Embry? What isn’t in our chili ? How much does Professor Brown weigh? Is Professor Spence really and truly gruff? The temperature of President Houston's blood is how much? What becomes of our incidental fee? What doesn't Dr. Lanham know? What is the longest time Professor Puryear ever left an explanation on the board ? Why aren’t the M. F. and Agricultural students given their diplomas at the end of their Junior year? What made Asbury a social leader? What did Professor Junkin ever say that was funny? Who ever saw Professor Fraps stand still thirty seconds? If a cadet can make three zeros a day, what is the longest lesson that can I. iven in Roads and Pavements? Where is the point to these riddles? The persons answering the above correctly will be given, by us, a month’s board at the Sbisa House. ' ’s a good thing that the wingless angels haven’t got wings,” said Holzman. “ Why? ” asked Wilson. “ Because we might flv and somebody would «hoot us for buzzards.” x9°5 THE LONG HORN 191 Of course we know that all Hamburger smells bad. And it was all for naught,” said Arnold disconsolately. “Cheer up my boy, what was all for naught?” asked a sympathetic friend. “ My recitation in mechanics.” Blake (watching Uncle Pike eat): “I’ll bet you they didn't have to raise him on a bottle.” Said a boy who talked like he was bini “ How do you pronounce Cobolini? You say it real slow When you come to “ Cobo” And put the accent on the “ lini.” Rogers (to Choppy Garth): “Shut the door. Were you raised in a barn ? ” Garth: “ No, but you talk as if you were raised in a hot-house or a baby incubator.” Big Potts, middle-sized Potts, and little Potts. Captain Sargent (in military science): “What are the restrictions placed upon a company when they are called to attention from route step ? ” Sargent Rollins (badly rattled) : “ They arc allowed to keep quiet.” THINGS OF INTEREST ON THE CAMPUS. The M. E. Laboratory. A prescription that docs not contain a dose of salts. The Bug Hunters at C. E. practice. Yocum in his great act of extinguishing Star Navy. The Cobolinis. Glass at Reveille. C. Company’s first baseman. Red Lenox’s red hair. The Junior’s exam, grades in German. These jokes. 192 THE LONG HORN VOL. Ill Trcfry ought to carry some laughing-gas along when he tells his jokes. SHOULD IT BE SO? Should a man be called a wooden-head just because he pines to have his hair shingled ? Even if it is the Mess Hall has Mr. Sbisa any right to make a mess of our meals? When the waiter brings us cold meat should it be said that he gives 11s the cold shoulder? Just because Wickcs prefers coal to wood is no sign that he is a coke fiend. Is it any reason why they should say that Brown has a grave expression because his teeth look like tombstones? Even if Pur year has got a turnip nose and reddish checks is no reason why we should infer that lie has corns 011 his feet. Just because Metcalf has a leaning toward colored socks is no reason why he should be called a red sock supporter.
