MARION 5AN50M President the Board of Directors of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas this volume is respectfully dedicated HON. MARION SANSOM 1907 THE LONG HORN 5 iHariott Ransom EXAS has no class of citizens more typical of all that is distinctly Texan, or more representative of all that is best in her heroic past an J l ler boundless present, than her successful ranchmen and stock- raisers. They are the descendants of a strong and rugged race of men. They are worthy sons of the daring pioneers who crossed the Louisiana wilderness, seized the inheritance of the savage, drove the Mex¬ ican beyond the Rio Grande, and consecrated these fertile plains to the cause of human freedom. In the clash of those early struggles and the stressful times that followed, amid the hardships, privations, and dangers of the frontier range and of life on the “trail, the law of the “survival of the fittest had ample opportunity to make itself felt. “Natural selection, with unerring precision, sifted out the weak and the vicious and left with us only the strong, the capable, the resolute. If you take the successful stockmen of Texas today, you will find them strong of body, keen of intellect, sound in judgment, and resolute of purpose. They are men of generous disposition, of infinite good fellow¬ ship, of great breadth of view, and of commendable public spirit. Such, in brief, are the most prominent characteristics of the successful stockmen of Texas. And to this tribe belongs Marion Sansom, the subject of this sketch. Few men among them are more typical of the class than he. A native Texan, his youth and young manhood, covered by the turbulent period of Civil War and reconstruction with its adverse conditions, he has slowly but steadily fought his way upward through all manner of obstacles and discourage¬ ments to success in business, to an easy competency, and to an honorable share in the public affairs of his time. The story of the Sansom family in Texas reads like a chapter from the history of the State. It begins with the Revolution and runs through the seven decades of the State’s independent existence. Marion’s father, R. P. Sansom, a Tennessee lad, thrilled with the stori es of the Texan fight for freedom, left his native land and reached the State before the struggle was over. Marion’s mother, Susan Manning Sansom, was a native Texan, born in Guadalupe County, near the town of Gonzales, the Lexington of the Texas Revolution. 6 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Her father, Stephen Manning, was one of the earliest settlers in that county, and was forced to take part in the great exodus or “run-away scrape,” as it was called, that took place on the advance of Santa Anna’s army after the fall of the Alamo. After the return of peace, the elder Sansom lived in Nacodoches County until 1859, when he removed with his family to Alvarado, in Johnson County, then on the frontier, where he and his good wife lived out their days and left to their children that priceless heritage, an honorable name. Marion Sansom, though born in Madison County in 1853, was reared at Alvarado, and is essentially a product of western Texas. In those days John¬ son was a frontier county and schools were few and far between, as were also young men who had either time or opportunity to attend them. As a result of these conditions, young Sansom got very little training in the literary schools hut much in the hard school of experience. At the age when young men are usually in college, he was either at work on his father ' s farm or keeping nightly vigils in the piney woods of east Texas and Louisiana, as he drove his father ' s beeves to the New Orleans market. Though he has always felt hampered by this lack of early school advan¬ tages, Mr. Sansom has wasted no time in vain regret. With characteristic energy, he threw himself into his stock business and prospered. With the growth of his wealth his interests multiplied, and he has become interested in several banks, oil wells, a wholesale grain store, and the cattle commission business. In 1902 he removed from Alvarado to Fort Worth, where he has a number of large financial interests. He is a director in two Fort Worth banks, president of the Cassidy Southwestern Commission Company, live stock com¬ missioners in North Fort Worth, a member of the firm of M. Sansom Com¬ pany. wholesale hay and grain dealers in North Fort Worth, and president of the Fort Worth Live Stock Commission Company, of Kansas City. “Depend¬ ing upon his own resources, Air. Sansom has been steadily advancing to a place of prominence, both in the commercial and political circles of Fort Worth, which city owes much to him on account of his connection with her business interests.” Mr. Sansom has always been a lover of fine stock and has given thirty- seven years of his life to the cattle business as a breeder and feeder. He has won premiums on his cattle year after year at the Dallas and San Antonio Fairs, at the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show, at the Chicago International Fat Stock Show, and at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. Air. Sansom’s connection with the Agricultural and Mechanical College I 9°7 THE LONG HORN 7 began in 1898, when he was named by Governor Culberson as a member of the Hoard of Directors. He was reappointed by both Governor Sayers and Gov¬ ernor Lanham, and was chosen president of the Board by his colleagues, which position he held until his retirement from the Board in January of this year. His connection with the Board, therefore, extended over the presidential admin¬ istrations of Colonel Foster and Dr. Houston, and into that of President Harrington. Each of these administrators in turn found in him a most broad¬ minded and sympathetic supporter of every policy that had for its object the advancement of this School and of the practical kind of education for which the School stands. Keen of mind, frank and direct in speech, always alert and aggressive, he was the most powerful factor in molding the opinions of his colleagues and in shaping the policies of the Board. He was punctual in attend¬ ance upon the meetings of the Board, and remained on the Board from a sense of public duty, and often at the sacrifice of his private affairs. His work was always constructive, never the reverse, and he has left a lasting impress upon this institution. That Marion Sansom has succeeded in business and left his impress upon everything he has touched is not at all strange or surprising to those who know him. The simple truth is that he possesses rare administrative ability. A man of few words, quick perception, sound judgment, restless energy, and uncon¬ querable will, he is equally fitted to engineer a bank, an oil mill, or a railroad, or to guide the destinies of an imperial state like Texas. While residing at Alvarado, Mr. Sansom was married to Miss Eliza Powell, daughter of the Reverend John Powell, a minister well known in earlier days alike in Louisiana and Texas. They have three children, Mrs. Will Schultz, Marion Sansom, Jr., and Nina Sansom, all living in Fort Worth. He is a Knight Templar and a member of the Ben Hur Temple of the Mystic Shrine. Fie is also a Knight of Pythias and an Odd Fellow. Mr. Sansom has a warm place in his heart for all young men and especially for the students of the A. and M. College. The Long Horn regretted exceed¬ ingly to see him retire from the Board, and expresses the sentiment of the entire student body when it wishes him many years of health and strength in which to serve his family, his friends, and the State that claims him as an honored son. 8 THE LONG HORN VOL.

Should have been called ‘ Professor,” as hescarcely ever talks to any of the cadets. Besides, he has written an article in ' The Bat., which attracted the attention of the entire corps. Since then, we under¬ stand. he has rested on his laurels. Will in the near future probably help “Jimmy” or Spence lay out the Bryan College Electric. Maurice Bivins..........Electrical Engineering LONGVIEW, TEXAS President The Stags’ Dancing Club; Member the K. K.’s; Ross Volunteers; Glee Club; Senior Ten¬ nis Club; Baseball Squad, ’07; S. O. L.’s; “C” Company Football and Baseball Teams. Hot air. The College wit. Shoidd have been an offi¬ cer, he thinks, but the Bull thought differently. A loyal friend to Fish. Something of an all round “dog,” but a good fellow withal. A walking ency¬ clopedia on baseball. It’s dead easy to get him started, but hard to make him stop. 42 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Robert Sigman Black.........Civil Engineering JEWETT, TEXAS Battalion Adjvitant, ’06-07 ' Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class; A. and M. College Baseball Team, ’06. The first man from Jewett to reach the rank of Adju¬ tant and the Senior Class at the same time. A regular PI. H. S. on military stunts. An easy man to get along with. PPe’s roomed with Blake for four years. Goes to Bryan quite frequently, especially at night. Roams the streets murmuring “By the gods, fellows.” Howard Harper Blake........Civil Engineering MARKHAM,TEXAS Postmaster; “D” Company Football Team. Junior member of the firm of Black Blake, Civil Engineers. Failed to get a rank, although strongly recommended. This is due to the fact that he and the commandant have the same initial s, which probably prejudiced the latter against Blake. “ Chubby’s” favorite amuse, ment is to view scenery from the observation deck of a “Cadets’ Special.” A “Principles of Least Work” exponent. 1 9°7 THE LONG HORN 43 Woodworth William Bogel. Electrical Engineering MARFA, TEXAS Member Austin Literary Society. From the wild and woolly West. Won a name by his famous Junior Banquet oration. One of the best company clerks the college ever had. Was some¬ what of a wit, but long confinement in Bohe and Boatwright Halls has obliterated nearly all traces. Believes in riding on the water-wagon—occasionally. Has a sorrel bush and literary aspirations. William Boyce, Jr............Civil Engineering SAN LUIS POTOSI, MEXICO President A. and M. College Glee Club; Second Lieu¬ tenant “B” Company; Member The Stags, K. K.’s, Ross Volunteers, Senior Tennis Club, Imperial Quar¬ tet. An imported article from Mexico, showing, however, some of the ear-marks of an American. Has quite an extensive acquaintance at College, including several cadets and most of the Professors. A lover of the drama. Can be recognized by his freckles and an everlasting smile, neither of which will come off. 44 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Herbert Brinkman.......Electrical Engineering COMFORT, TEXAS (Graduate Mechanical Engineering Course 1006.) “Brink”—a reminder of the past and of the “Powers that were.” “Brink had so many nice things said about him in last year ' s Annual, that we feel unequal to the task of adding any more. Besides, it might, make him vain. He has been trying to find out whether there can be anything worse than M. E. From the look on his face we think he has struck it. Arthur Clayton Burns...........“Agriculture” CUERO,TEXAS Member Stock Judging Team; Sequah Dancing Club. Has nearly as many names as Abe Edsall, but says Huzzy is his favorite. Formerly prowled around a great deal at night, but finds it too wearing on the clothes. To hear him talk just before exams, one would consider him a hopeless case, when truth to say, he is only simple-minded. Would rather be a Bug-hunter than President of the United States. 1907 THE LONG HORN 45 James Alf Collins........Electrical Engineering TEXARKANA, TEXAS Second Lieutenant “B” Company; Associate Business Manager The Long Horn; Exchange Editor The Battalion; Chairman Invitation Committee Final Ball; Treasurer Senior Tennis Club; Member K. K.’s; Ross Volunteers; The Stags. Next to being at home, Jim would rather be in “B” Company. He is a splendid example of the self- made man. having entered College as a new private and now rooming with Walter Moore. Thinks Professor Brown has just a shade the best of Thomas A. Edison when it comes to electricity. Answers to “Doc.” and “Jim.” Pinkney Edward Cunningham. Civil Engineering KENEDY,TEXAS First Lieutenant “D” Company; Member Austin Literary Society. If silence is golden, “Pink’s” wealth should make Rockefeller blush for shame. Believes in the strenu¬ ous life, especially in athletics, having once played with a company. Resembles “Pee-wee” in his ability to digest math. Is long and lean, but has never missed a meal. His redeeming features are a becoming blush and an illuminating smile. 46 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Clifford De Bray Cuny . . . Electrical Engineering HOUSTON, TEXAS Second Lieutenant “C” Company; Member “The Bats;’’ Senior Tennis Club. From the accompanying photograph you wouldn’t think it, but Cuny is considered real cute. His cute looks have wrought havoc in Bryan, while his cute rams have done the same thing in “C” Company. Seriously, he isn’t half bad, but then he has the “rep. ” This may be accounted for by the fact that he roamed three years in Gathwright. Arthur Butler Edsall............“Agriculture” SPRING CREEK, TEXAS Member “The Bats;” Austin Literary Society; Senior Tennis Club; “B” Company Football Team. This, good people, is “Abe,” alias “The Major,” “Doc,” “Grape Nuts,” “Father,” “Grizzly,” “ Daddy, ”“ Scaldy, ” and twenty-six others. Really hails from Shingleville, but when asked says he lives “up near Dallas.” Also thinks a great deal of Laredo. Partial to brunettes, breakfast food and dime shows. Assistant (?) at divers times to the Departments of Horticulture and Plant Physiology. One of the best. I 9°7 THE LONG HORN 47 Paul Ehlers.............Electrical Engineering SMITH VILLE, TEXAS Member Stags’ Dancing Club; Senior Tennis Club ; Der Deutsche Vergniigungs Verein. Paul’s sensitive nature rebelled against being dragged into the lime-light of publicity, so the census taker got the following facts from his room-mate. We do not vouch for their accuracy, however. He is called “Polly” at home; likes brunettes; was a corporal once, and expects to join the “Dynamo Wipers’ Union” the fourteenth of June. See Bradstreet’s for other information. Sam George Epstein..........Civil Engineering LULING, TEXAS Member K. K.’s; Ross Volunteers; Stags; Senior Tennis Club; Associate Editor The Long Horn; S. O. L.’s. “Charley,” it may be said, has grown from merely nothing to rpiite a strapping youth, this remarkable change having taken place in the last four years, or sin ' ce he was a Fish. Taking Bivins as a model, he says, kept him from being a lieutenant this year. His extremely modest and retiring disposition wins the hearts of all those who don’t know him better, so be careful, ladies. 4 8 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Warren Alexander Gilbert........“Agriculture” DALLAS, TEXAS Captain “A” Co mpany; First Lieutenant Ross Vol¬ unteers; Associate Editor-in-Chief The Long Horn; President Thanksgiving Hop; President Senior Ten¬ nis Club; Chairman Invitation Committee, Ross Volunteers Hop; Vice-President Senior Class; Mem¬ ber K. K.’s; Stags. “Wag” was disappointed in—no, not love, but some¬ thing else, last year. However, he says he doesn’t care—“too much responsibility.” Received several votes as the “College Beauty”—the girls dote on him, he stands in with the Professors—what more does a man want? Would make a good leading man for an opera company. Herman Fred Granau, Jr......Civil Engineering BELLVILLE, TEXAS Second Lieutenant “C” Company; Member Ross Vol¬ unteers; Stags; S. O. L.’s; Der Deutsche Ver- gniigung Verein. “Granny.” A meek-eyed, mild-mannered Dutchman, making Pfeufifer Hall his headquarters. Speaks “ German ” with an accent. Chums with the Bull and Spence. Is white to the top of his head. Takes himself seriously and every one else as a joke. Doesn’t believe in running absent more than half of the time. 1 9° 7 THE LONG HORN 49 Fritz Hensel, Jr................“Agriculture” SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS P ' irst Lieutenant “C” Company; Member K. K.’s; Ross Volunteers; Senior Tennis Club; Stags; Edi- tor-in-Chief The Long Horn; Member Der Deutsche Vergniigung Verein. “Fritz.” “Dutch,” from Tamaleville. Confidently ex¬ pected to be quartermaster, but was horribly disap¬ pointed. One of “Frap’s Favorites.” What he doesn’t know in chemistry may be found in any text¬ book on the subject. Thinks “cutting” once in a while good for a man. His ambition is to own a brewery. Walter Sayers Higgins........Civil Engineering BASTROP, TEXAS Member The Stags; S. O. L.’s. Walter’s of a rather studious disposition, his only diversions being to read the New York World and the Bastrop Weekly. Incidentally, it may be said thai he takes a great interest in foreign languages, especi¬ ally German, although he is not of that nationality. He formerly held “open house” in Pfeuffer Hall, but owing to circumstances over which he had no con¬ trol, was forced to seek the seclusion of the Senior quarters. Thinks Bastrop almost as good as College Station to live in. 5° THE LONG HORN VOL. V Melvin Jake Hill.........Electrical Engineering TRENTON, TEXAS Second Lieutenant “B” Company; Member “The Bats. ” When a Fish, Jake was nearly frightened to death by some rude, “old boys,” and since then has clung closely to his quarters. As can be readily seen by the photo, Jake is quite harmless. He goes to town once a year and then to have his picture taken. Is strong on everything but the girls. Would rather run a mile than let one of the fair sex see him first. George Pierre Ferdinand Jouine.Civil Engineering HOUSTON, TEXAS First Lieutenant “B” Company; Member Senior Ten¬ nis Club; Ross Volunteers. “Frenchy.” Really hails from “ La belle ’’France, but eluded the officials and finally landed at College. Bears a striking resemblance to Napoleon—in size. Has become noted for his apollo-like form and his reminders, or “rams,” as they are more com¬ monly called. He’s all right now, although some people won’t believe it. Author of the well- known saying, “That is a pretty good wan.” 1907 THE LONG HORN 5 1 Otto Henry Kloss............Civil Engineering MILLHEIM, TEXAS Member Der Detitsche Vergniigungs Verein. Dutch. Otto is German, as can easily be seen by look¬ ing at his face. He has done nothing startling in his four years’ residence here, but has pursued the even tenor of his way, absorbing some little C. E. and a great deal of smoke. Is hard on the photo¬ grapher ever since some one once told him he was good looking. Louis Maynard Landa... . Electrical Engineering EAGLE LAKE, TEXAS The only thing that can be said about Landa is that he doesn’t study — after 2 A. M. He likes to debate, his clinching argument running thus: “Professor Brown said so.” Of course, such a statement is unanswerable and Louis retires, covered with glory. Has never been heard to rail against the unkind fate which landed him at A. and M. A terrible ladies’ man, spoke to one while a Fish and didn’t know any better. 52 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Lewis Henry Lempert. . . .Electrical Engineering MARFA, TEXAS Second Lieutenant Band. “ Lemp ”—(not that he cares for that particular brand), although to be strictly truthful he doesn’t occupy the front seat in the Temperance Union, but because he has to be called something. Was a high private for three long years, but says “all things come to him who waits.” Formerly considered a ladies’ man, but let a Fish call his hand and is now in mourning. Fie and Bogel are from the same place, so that explains a great deal in both of them. Louis Lenz..................Civil Engineering CUERO,TEXAS Member S. O. L.’s; President Der Deutsche Ver- gniigungs Yerein. judging from the large numbers of books, toys, dry goods, notions and hosiery, Louis gets, he must be on the free mailing list of nearly every mercantile house in America. Also formerly very popular in Cuero, but this seems to have died out. Longs for the spring-time, when “Bohes” are many and close together. His art collection is the admiration of all who have seen it. i9°7 THE LONG HORN 53 Ridgely Casey Lilly...........Civil Engineering JACKSBORO, TEXAS Member Austin Literary Society; Senior Tennis Club; The Bats. R. C. has left our hospitable shores several times, but like the prodigal, has always returned. One of “ Batwright’s Best.” Sometimes calls himself ” The,” but this should fool no one, as he and R. Lilly are identically the same person. Albert Marbach..............Civil Engineering NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS Member The Bats; Der Deutsche Vergniigungs Verein ‘‘Oofty”is a good example of what a college education will do for a man. When he entered school he could talk everything but English; now he can’t do any¬ thing else. For a long time he belonged to Bat- wright body and soul, where he could often be heard exclaiming: ‘‘Hi, fellow, what you doin’ over heir?” Now an inmate of the Senior quarters, where only meager accounts of his private life can be obtained. p 54 THE LONG HORN VOL. V Edward Louis Marek.........Civil Engineering BRENHAM,TEXAS First Lieutenant Band; Member Thalian Club; Der Deutsche Vergniigungs Verein. The high guy in the South End Jungles and performer on the tuba. One of the very few cadets having a membership card to the Bohe Hall “ 400. ” About as talkative as the Sphinx. Would make a good civil engineer, but intends helping Hensel build a brewery. Norman Curry Maxwell.......Civil Engineering HICO, TEXAS Second Lieutenant “C” Company. Better known as “Max,” “Lord,” “Duke.” Hails from Hico, the home of the much lamented Stovall and that old war-horse, “Pap” Gleason, to whom he owes his military training. Is still wondering why he was put back in “G” Company. Has been a model youth up to his Senior year, but now in¬ dulges in chess and frequent trips to Bryan. 1907 THE LONG HORN 55 James Louis McDonald. . .Electrical Engineering ORANGE, TEXAS Senior Tennis Club. “Mac.” doesn’t take much interest in outside affairs, in fact, his smiling face is seen only in D.r. Brown’s Lab., where he is preparing himself for his initiation into the “Dynamo Wipers’ Union,” which takes place immediately after graduation. Mac formerly resided in the South End Jungles—would probably be an officer now if he had “stuck.” Wayne Milligan................“Agriculture” CORSICANA, TEXAS Member The Ross Volunteers; The Stags; A. H. K. K.’s. Another man about whom comparatively little is known.

But, wait, we are going too fast. In writing a history we should always begin at the beginning. All great things have small beginnings. Even the Class of ’07 had a small beginning. A body of unorganized boys of every type, character, and taste had entered College. What was to become of this harum- scarum body of unacquainted boys? Stop, do not judge too quickly. Here is material to be hewn, dressed, and put into shape for future usefulness. In the fall of 1903 this Class was organized, a president was elected, colors were adopted, and at once the boys became as a unit. The leading characteristic of this Class is its unity of purpose and action. From the beginning this Class of wide-awake boys saw the condition of things around them, they saw that work was before them, and many obstacles to be overcome, so with a sincere and earnest effort the task was begun. Many were the stumbling blocks in their path, many errors were made, yet with their concentration of purpose they strode steadilv onward. Gradually strength and confidence were instilled into them. And at the end of the year the Class received a promotion for the good work done. It passed on from the realms of “Fish ' dom.” Did this body of young men do credit to the Sophomore Class? Yes, indeed! Although the standard of the College curriculum had been raised the year before, and had somewhat thinned their ranks, the Class met again, weaker in numbers, but stronger in purpose. We will let the athletes of this Class 66 THE LONG HORN VOL. V speak for themselves. There was no man in this Class of very great stature and strength, yet with such science did they handle the baseball, they defeated the combined forces of the other three classes. But the year passed swiftly, and was soon gone. Again, the men carrying the red banner trimmed in black assembled within the old familiar College walls. They were given a new name—Junior. With pride did this Class receive this name, and proudly did it bear the name through¬ out the year. No great demonstration was being made, but by steadily treading forward and out-stripping all preceding classes, they endeavored to set a stand¬ ard for succeeding classes to follow. How fast does time pass, yet how slow! It seems only a short while ago when this Class had not yet passed from the early stages of “Fishdom,” yet, on the other hand, it seems centuries until they will become Seniors. But at last that time came, as it will come to all those who work and patiently wait. The entire Class returned to College and became Seniors. What a record! The number was forty-eight. The largest Senior Class that has ever entered the Institution, although it was one of the least at the beginning. “The last shall be first, and the first shall be last,” says the Good Book. How truly does the first part of this statement apply here! But the end is drawing near. College days will soon be over, and a life conflict will begin. What a pity this history can not be completed, continuing throughout the lives of these men! We could perhaps picture one of them in after years, old and gray-headed, sitting by a glowing fire, and his thoughts wandering back when he was a care-free boy in College. Any one drawing near might hear this old man, with his broken voice, humming the tune of the song, “Dear Old College Days.” 1 9°7 THE LONG HORN 67 A iFnu Wuriia to § ?ttuirj5 OU are now just arriving at the Port of Graduation; you will hoist your sails to an unknown and untried sea. I would rather your voy¬ age be smooth and peaceful, but the ocean is full of storms; you will scarcely escape them; and so it is my greater wish that you reach the desired haven. Watch for the lighthouse. Have faith in yourself, in your life work, and in other men. Do not be sus¬ picious, but protect your own interests with proper safeguards. Courage is indispensable. You need the courage of faith, which believes in spite of difficulties, and fights its way through doubt to a firmer assurance, which goes on trying to be good in the face of failures, which holds fast to the ideal in spite of temptations, which wars for the right in spite of heavy odds, which bears the appointed burdens in spite of weariness, straight through to the end. Power is necessary to accomplish anything. The strength of your life is measured by the strength of your will. But the strength of your will is just the strength of the wish that lies behind it. And the strength of your wish depends upon the sincerity and earnestness and tenacity with which you fix your atten¬ tion upon the things which are really great and worthy to be loved. It is my advice to every young man to marry as soon as he is settled in his life vocation and is earning enough to support a family in a modest way, pro¬ vided he can find “the right one.” Marry for love and not for money, or any other ulterior motive. When once the choice is made, he absolutely true to her though the heavens fall. The one who dreams dreams and has visions, and will couple with it a bold spirit, will discover a new world. Great visions are the forerunners of mighty deeds: do not be afraid of them. In this day of rapid advancement, do not give too large a place to prece¬ dent. While you are not to be ashamed of the old. you must not be afraid of the new, and at all times be faithful to the true. Every college-bred man ought to discharge the duties of a citizen of his country in a patriotic and loyal spirit. 68 THE LONG HORN VOL. V You should earnestly desire the love and esteem of all good men, make no concession to evil men which involves the surrender of principle. Make as few enemies as possible, and learn how to easily forget an injury. Do not allow the sun to go down on your wrath. Help the weak, and be kind to strangers. Do some good thing that will be a living monument among men after you are dead; you will not need a granite shaft in the cemetery. To be kind and honest, to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make a family happier for your presence, to deny yourself when necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends and these without capitulation, and on the same condition, to keep friends with yourself—here is a task worthy of your fortitude.

College. It was about four o ' clock in the afternoon and the sun was hot, but these youths forgot the heat and discomfort as they gazed curiously at the large brick buildings, at the many cottages, and at the dag pole in what they later learned was the drill ground. A long, red structure at their left especially impressed them. In its front were two circular towers, which they judged to be silos. As they continued up the walk, heads appeared at several windows of the nearest building and voices derisively yelled, “Fish, Fish, Fish! They supposed that this word was applied to themselves, but they were unawed. If asked what they called themselves, they would probably have replied, “Applicants for the Freshman Class.” Many of those same fellows are now members of the Junior Class, the Class of ’08. They have reached the dignity of sergeant stripes, class pins, and a class banquet. But they do not forget the old days and associations, when their numbers were stronger, and when they were members of what may be called the “Submerged Third,” or “The Great Unwashed.” Nor do they forget that more recent period when they were called Sophomores, when, in other words, they considered themselves very much the “Whole Show.” It is strange how radically our views sometimes alter when the view-point is changed only a few inches. When the present Juniors were Freshmen, they deplored the I-am-better-than-thou feeling which the upper classmen seemed to have, and thought that a Freshman was as good as anybody else on earth. When they became Sophomores—well, a Freshman didn’t amount to much. But a Sophomore amounted to a great deal. And corporal stripes were insignia not lightly to be worn. As Juniors, their view-point was again shifted a little, and their views again altered considerably. They found that it takes a college man two years to realize that he doesn ' t know much. Freshmen, somehow, did not seem so intolerable, but Sophomores went below par in their estimation. At the first of their Junior year, a Sophomore seemed just a little better than a “Fish, 72 THE LONG HORN VOL. V while a corporal was hardly on the list of the “Might Be’s.” And the Juniors were at least the “Coming Men. It is interesting to speculate on what the views of the members of ' 08 will be next year, when they will be venerated as Seniors. Some of them will be wearers of shoulder straps, while others will be the inhabitants of the Senior Quarters. Some will be the holders of important offices in social, literary, and military organizations, while others will live in comparative retirement, not so dignified and important, perhaps, but a good deal merrier than their more weighty classmates. When that time comes, will the views of the members of the Class of ’08 again be changed? There will be none above them but obscure post¬ graduates, while some four hundred and fifty other under-graduates will be below them. Let us hope that not a great number of the ' 08 men will be afflicted with painful swellings of the head, such as various Seniors have suffered in times past. And whatever their views, may they all graduate with honor. JUNIOR COURSES 74 THE LONG HORN VOL. V February 21st, 1907 Lem Adams, Toastmaster The Class......... Our Sweethearts . . .

Likewise, a long and tedious process—a process of four years—is necessary in making well qualified American citizens of us young Texans. In the process a portion of the stone is lost; so, during our four years of college work, our numbers decrease. Last year we were one hundred and fifty-five wild-eyed Fish. This year we are eighty-six lordly Sophomores. Some of us are proud of our corporal stripes, and not a few of us are proud of the fact that we are no longer butts for the old boys’ jokes, and that we no longer occupy Seat No. 3 in the Mess Hall. That the general character of the Sophomore Classes is improving is evi¬ denced by the fact that for the last two or three years the Sophomores have worked to abolish the practice of hazing the Freshmen. No longer does the trembling Fish hear the stealthy step of the yearling as he glides through the darkness to deluge a sleeping “Freshie” with cold water, or to apply a solution of ink and shoe polish to the youngster’s face. Seldom is the “Greenie” called out in his dressing gown to do sentinel duty at the flag pole. Few Freshmen are compelled to carry trunks to the old hoy’s room, or to make speeches to him from the top of a box or trunk as he sits near, criticising the Fish’s efiforts. Only in extreme cases is the freshest new boy compelled to submit to the indignity of the belting process. Last year we were well represented on the gridiron and on the diamond. We had men in the Company and College Teams. This year we have better representation in the different athletic organizations, some of the men winning “T’s.” Therefore our interest in athletics is not dying. We are not so bad morally. Our Class is doing its part of the work in building up the new Y. M. C. A. organized here last year. A number of our members are doing good work as leaders of the Barracks Bible Classes, and names of men from the Sophomore Class are found on the list of officers of the new organization. As our College work grows more difficult, a few of our men continue to leave the school. This year, however, we are more determined, and when the year nineteen hundred and nine comes around, we expect the Class under the purple and white to graduate as many students as any former class. 8 o THE LONG HORN VOL.

College September 24, 1906, saw by k far the greatest Freshman Class ever gathered at old A. and M. V W e stood two hundred and twenty-nine strong, of whom one hundred and eighty-five were engineers and torty-four “bug- hunters. ' ' On that string were hsh from almost all parts of the Lone Star State, besides other states and the adjoining territories. A Class meeting was called October 9th by Major Moore, and after listen¬ ing to an interesting talk by him, we elected the following officers for the Class of ’to: S. A. Hamilton, of Bryan, President and Athletic Manager ; R. F. Arnold, of Graham, Vice-President; J. L. Mcllhenny, of San Antonio, Secretary; and T. C. Reese, of Josephine, Historian. At a later meeting of the Class, we adopted the Honor System,” and elected a committee of five to represent us in the Students’ Council. For class colors we chose sky blue and white, which will make our sweaters and hats the swellest on the campus. Athletics is where we particularly shine. On the football squad we fur¬ nished eleven men, four of whom won the T.” “Fish” make also the predom¬ inating feature on the track and basket-ball teams. As for baseball in the spring and summer, it is safe to say that we will be there also “to deliver the goods.” In the few minutes that the class rush lasted we gave the Sophs, a fair sample of the stuff men are made of, for on that day our “little shoal were surely in the swim.’ ! Our first year at College, with all its fun—and eye-openers—we will never forget. Well will we remember our guard duty, our first experience of which was guarding the flag pole; the night ride on the blanket; and last, but not least, the “dousing” we received on our return f rom the First Class meeting. With all the fun of our Freshman year there has, nevertheless, been among the most of us that serious determination to improve opportunities while here, and prepare to reach that goal which men so highly prize—success. In every go THE LONG HORN VOL. V branch of study there are Freshmen who are making excellent records. It is safe to say that four years hence there will be turned out of old A. and M. one of the finest “bunch of young men who ever left their Alma Mater, to fight in the world the battle of success.

If the devoted student of the A. and M. of this day wishes to realize how far 1876 lies back, he has only to recall that when the doors of this, the first of all the State schools for higher education, were thrown open, deer in numbers still ran unmolested over the College prairies; that in the fall of 1876 the scream of the puma or Mexican lion frequently startled the sentries on the lower floor of the Main Building from their dreams “of pleasures that waited on life’s merry morn, and an unlimited supply of “cush”; that baseball was then in its infancy in Texas, football had never been heard of, and no college yell had yet been composed. Then will he realize that one who can talk of the early days from personal experience must be old enough to be a grandfather. If the mists of thirty years obscure the dark shadows and help to give a rosy hue to events that had a deeper tinge at their occurrence, so much the better, for, as I understand it, the Long Horn wants “reminiscences,” and not a chronicle. I am not sure whether it was on the last Saturday in September, 1876. or the first Saturday in October, when, from a window of a Central passenger coach, the Main Building, the old Mess Hall and a row of two-story brick houses erected to accommodate the professors and their families, first loomed up before my expectant gaze. Passenger trains moved more slowly then, and the trip from Hempstead had seemed an age to my youthful imagination. No devoted crusader ever hailed the sight of the Holy City with greater joy than I felt, when those buildings on tbe bald College prairie arose before me. Just then the vision was partly obscured by a phenomenon that, as far as my memory reaches back, bad not been seen before in Texas. Great clouds of grasshoppers that bad devoured tbe grain of Kansas, in their flight southward hid the bright autumn sun ; thev covered the track, the wheels were slipping, and the engineer bad to throw wide open the throttle to keep the train in motion, and in a few I 9°7 THE LONG HORN 113 minutes the College was left far behind and I had to disembark in Bryan. There I was told that the College wagon would probably come in soon. But that wagon, drawn by a span of big mules, did not show up in Bryan till late on Sunday—it was the longest Sunday of all my life—to carry me and a load of groceries to the College. I got there all right, and half an hour later I was profoundly sorry for it, and longed for nothing so much as for the old farm in Millheim and a stout hoe-handle. Supper over, I found myself the center of attraction for some twenty young Texans, between fifteen and twenty-five, who had arrived during the preceding week, had witnessed the opening exercises, listened to noble oratorical effort by the great men of Texas; and then, to pass the time, set out to do a little hazing that would have made a West Pointer green with envy. That the long, lank, raw-boned youth from Austin County, who hadn’t had a chance to speak English for months and years, formed an inviting subject for their efforts, is easily understood. What happened that night in the Main Building to the latest arrival has. as I have been informed, furnished the theme for some excellent banquet stories, and I am not going to spoil them by giving my own recollections. Suffice it to say that I was “initi¬ ated” to the “queen’s taste,” and that, when I finally fell into a troubled sleep, my opinion of those fine young fellows who had greeted me so cordially had fallen to the zero point, and I had made up my mind to use the muscle acquired in exercises with maul and axe on anybody who might try to put me on guard duty again. But that never became necessary: it seems that T had not stood the test so badly, and next morning I was well acquainted and at home at the A. and M. College of Texas. Monday morning, bright and early, we took possession of the Main Build¬ ing, which was to be our dormitory. Matriculation over, roommates were selected, quarters chosen, an attempt at classification made, and “rules and reerilations” read that sounded as severe as the code of Draco. Tn the afternoon by drilling the awkward squad. The Major was martial from the word “go.” Although rather small in stature, his voice sounded clear across the campus, which at that time extended to the railroad tracks. The Major had evidently made up his mind that A. and M. cadets should soon set an example to those of his Alma Mater, the Virginia Militarv Institute. Setting-up exercises, marching single file with raw recruits who tread on each others’ heels, etc., are not so verv funnv, as “Fish” of modern times will testify; but we had a good drill-master, who soon brought order out of chaos. My military career .( 2 . i dorrill) the commandant, gave us an insight into the military feature THE LONG HORN VOL. V 114 was destined to be brief, for the Major soon discovered in which direction my talents did not lie, and after I succeeded in leading the left wing of the battalion into a ditch at the Volkfest at Houston, in May, 1877, I was made quarter¬ master, and could watch the beautiful wheels and the soul-stirring bayonet exer¬ cises and artillery drills in which the Major delighted, or go botanizing in the dewberry patches—side-tracked on the road to martial fame, and yet the envy of many. The teachers make the school, so we must take a glance at the faculty which, however, deserves more than a glance, for it consisted of men not easily to be forgotten. At the head President Gathright, an intimate of the great leader of the “Lost Cause”; a college man, and yet a soldier in his bearing, whose mien and voice called for unquestioning obedience. Though past middle age, his temper was fiery, but he possessed, withal, a kind heart. In addition to these qualities, he had a rich store of knowledge and a scorn of everything mean, untruthful, or ungentlemanly. Sometimes he erred, but when he did, he made amends lavishly. Many of the lectures he delivered to the students in the old chapel (now Professor Giesecke’s realm) have proven an inspiration to us all. Their burden always was: “Whatever you be, whatever you do, be a man, be a gentleman.” Dr. Martin, Doctor of Theology, and deeply versed in Latin and Greek, was chaplain and teacher of Science. LI is hair was gray, his honors and his years many, and he labored faithfully for our spiritual wel¬ fare. He tried his best to harmonize the views of a strict Presbyterian of the older days with the teaching of modern science; and if his instruction was mostly theory and no practice, it is to be remembered that such was the rule then, and that practically there were no appliances, no apparatus to work with. Some of his students in Chemistry, however, succeeded in making the section room, and even the entire Main Building, uninhabitable with sulphuretted hydrogen and chlorine gas on several occasions. The chair of Modern Lan¬ guages was held by Major Banks, big in body, big of heart, gentle and kindly, and ready to give help and fatherly advice to all. It was a pleasure to know Major Banks, and his memory will live until all the pioneer A. and M. cadets have answered the last roll-call. If the younger generation %f Texans in those days were considered rather uncouth, “wild and woolly,” by the outside world, no better model could have been selected for us than Professor Hand, who occupied the chair of Ancient Languages, beside whom even Lord Chesterfield would have appeared a veritable boor. His politeness, however, was not only an outward gloss, but it came from a kind and generous soul. Professor 19° 7 THE LONG HORN 115 Alexander Hogg and Major R. P. W. Morris, whose spheres were Pure Math¬ ematics and Applied Mathematics, respectively, alone of this first faculty are still in the land of the living, and I will spare their modesty by omitting the encomiums which they well deserve. Both are well known to the world; Pro¬ fessor Plogg as an ardent advocate of industrial progress, Major Morris by his participation in the political affairs of his native state. All were men of high standing in their chosen profession, perhaps the strongest and best informed that could have been selected in the Southland. The fact, however, that most of them before they came to Texas had been at the head of educational institutions, bore within it the seed of discord which, fortunately, did not germinate until after my time. Today a professor or an instructor at the A. and M. College must be a specialist in some particular line, always striving to excel in that line. Then it was different; for the school was an agricultural and technical training school in name only; it was a literary institution mainly, and as such it soon took high rank, for certainly it could not have been the good looks and brass buttons of its students alone which within a single year made it the most popular school in Texas. And now, as to the students. They had come from the farthest confines of Texas, east and west, north and south, and from many different walks of life. Some were the sons of lawyers, merchants, ministers, and teachers, and had enjoyed the best training that our higher schools then afforded. Some were sons of farmers and ranchmen, and more at home in the saddle than in a section room. Some were mere striplings, others well advanced in years and tried and tested in the storms of life. Take them all in all (pardon me if this sounds boastful), they were as fine an aggregation of young Texans as one might wish to see, though by no means inclined to grow pale and haggard with overmuch study. From week to week their number increased. Perhaps fifty went home on furlough in the first Christmas vacation; many could not go, since the going and coming would have taken up all the vacation. Seventy came back. At the beginning of the second term in February the number had increased to one hundred and thirty, and the upper stories of the old Mess Hall had to be used as a dormitory. When the second session opened, we were literally “as thick as three in a bed.” and in the crush and jam at the beginning of that session, trying to find a hunk for every one, fitting two hundred and sixty cadets of all sizes and proportions into as many uniforms ordered without measurement, I learned that even a quartermaster’s occupation wasn’t alto¬ gether a sinecure. Wooden barracks were hastily erected, a big two-story box 116 THE LONG HORN VOL. V house, and in the upper story of this makeshift structure I roomed for a year with Captain Sleeper, whom I followed as a shadow. Early in the first session, the Stephen F. Austin Literary Society was organized, and the debates and oratory made the “welkin ring” with the recital of the patriotism and glory of Spartacus, Mark Antony, and Patrick Henry. The Society grew and prospered, until out of prosperity arose jealousy, and finally secession. The Calliopean Society came into being, rivalry between tbe two societies was keen, and great were the joint debates at Commencement. The rapid increase in attendance brought with it other troubles than lack of room and overwork for the teachers. Many parents imagined that military discipline at the A. and M. would prove a cure-all for wayward sons, and many of the latter came with their minds set on getting just as much fun as possible out of their banishment. Major Morris and his successor. Captain Olmstead, of the United States Army, had their hands full in trying to control these young rebels. Strict regulations only added zest to their violation, and stolen excursions at night were all the more delightful when all the floors were guarded by sentries with fixed bayonets. A lightning rod furnished the means of escape from the fourth stoop. Gambling and drinking cropped out, and it was only by the united efforts of the faculty and the more thoughtful students that a better spirit got the upper hand. The student officers, especially, were in a trying position, for young men who had not learned to respect parents or teachers at home, were reluctant to obey orders from fellow-students wearing the stripes of corporal, sergeant, or other officer. Finally the precedent was set and the rule established that certain differences between officers and privates were not to be taken before the commandant, but must be settled according to the primitive method in an honest fist fight, and while this was not strictly mili¬ tary, results were quite satisfactory. The “grub” question is likely to be an interesting one to students at all times, and T must say a few words about the Mess Hall. General H. P. P.ee, the gallant soldier and dignified Southern gentleman, was in charge, and, if I mistake not. our young appetites came near bankrupting this generous man. who gave the best he had without carefullv figuring out the profits. His noble wife appeared as an angel of mercy by her motherly visits to many a poor, lonesome cadet, who lay in his room ill and homesick at the same time. After General Bee came Mr. Sbisa, and Sbisa it has been to this day. That neither Bee nor Sbisa ever succeeded in satisfying all demands T need hardly tell, for college boys have always been “kickers,” and probably will continue so to the I 9°7 THE LONG HORN 117 end of time. Many were the mess hall rebellions and numerous the squibs and innuendos directed at the mess hall fare in the “Collegian.” In the line of amusements there was a little baseball, foraging expeditions into rural districts and surroundings on Saturdays, stag dances and debates on Saturday nights, now and then a concert or circus in Bryan, a fire alarm at night, the Commencement ball, and the never-to-be-forgotten April Fool’s day. The long excursions on foot into the wildwoods of Brazos County, with a ' possum hunt and a chicken dinner as crowning the event, and the glorious comradeship which the very isolation of the school helped to develop, are to me cherished remembrances. A thousand happenings, amusing or sad, and often a blending of fun and sadness, I can recall and might relate; and I believe that General Rogan wouldn’t mind now if I told about that “kangaroo court,” or about good old Dr. Martin granting full pardon to those who turned his shed bottom side up, long before, he went to his last reward. But I have already taken up too much space in telling of these old times to those who live in the new. May the dear old A. and M. prosper and expand in its great work for Texas! W. A.

The past year may well be considered the most successful we have ever had. While we did not capture the championship in either baseball or football, we made a very satisfactory showing. Through the efficient management of the Athletic Council, the Association is out of debt for the first time in its history. Besides being out of debt, we have fenced in and equipped with bleachers one of the best athletic fields in the South. Our teams have been supplied with the best possible para¬ phernalia and the most efficient coaches. The football season of 1906 was indeed a successful one. The team was one of the heaviest we have ever had, averaging one hundred and eighty pounds. This team was the first in the history of the institution to leave the State. On this trip we defeated Tnlane University, at New Orleans, and Louisiana State University, at Baton Rouge. One of the most decisive victories of the season was won over the Haskell Indians. The only defeat of the year was sustained at the hands of the Univer¬ sity of Texas on Thanksgiving Day. This was a great surprise to those who had kept up with the records and progress of the two teams. The only real criticism to be made of our team was its slowness and lack of aggressiveness. Twenty-two games were played by the baseball team of ’06. Fifteen of these were victories, eight of which were shut-out games. The total score of the season was — A. and M., 120; opponents, 46. The prospects for this season are most flattering: with six of last year’s players back and a host of new candidates, great things are expected. The team makes its initial trip out of the State this season, and is expected to sustain the record made bv the football team. It is gratifying to know that we are to have a track team this spring. With the abundance of material which we have, there is no doubt but that we will compete favorablv with anv college in the S. W. A. S. Most of the classes have organized tennis clubs, and much interest is being shown in this sport. Taken as a whole, prospects for athletics at A. and M. are brighter now than they have been since the opening of the College. THE LONG HORN VOL.

V § 0mty WING to its isolated condition, social life at A. and M. is rather restricted, that is, as far as dances, hops, and the like are concerned. To be more explicit, however, this is not entirely due to location, but also to our military system, which interferes to a greater or less degree with the cadets’ freedom. It should not be understood, how¬ ever, that the cadet is deprived of all social pleasures—on the contrary, he has all his peculiar situation will allow. Various dancing clubs have been organized, which hold informal dances quite frequently, while at Thanksgiving, in April, and in June the larger affairs are held. The Thanksgiving Hop is held the night after the big annual football game between the University of Texas and A. and M., and is given in honor of the gridiron heroes. This dance generally attracts a number of visitors, as well as our home people at Bryan and College. The Ross Volunteers’ Hop is held in April. This dance is given by the Ross Volunteers, the crack military company of the school. The Final Ball needs no comment. It brings to a fitting close the school year for the lower classmen, while it marks the end of college days for the Seniors. These three events, coupled with the smaller hops, dances, and receptions, embrace the social life of the A. and M. cadet. They serve to bring him in closer contact with his fellow-students and with the outside world. 142 THE LONG HORN VOL. V W. B. Wortham. W. G. Moore........ T. A. Adams............ .....

From this small beginning it has spread until it is now one of the dominating factors in the progress and development of young men in all parts of the world. Y. M. C. A.’s are getting firm footholds, not only in Europe and America, but in the Orient, especially in China and Japan. Countries, states, cities and schools have taken up the work. Texas has not lagged in this respect, her larger cities and higher educational institutions have, as a rule, had Y. M, C. A.’s for some time. Our College, however, has not been in the Association very long. On February_25th, 1906, the student body of the Texas A. and M. College sent six delegates to Nashville, Tennessee, to “The Students’ National Convention.” These delegates took notes on the proceedings of the Convention, and more especially, on the organization of Y. M. C. A.’s and Association work. As a result of this, when they returned they organized with a membership of one hundred and sixty-five. Bible Classes were then started up and soon had about one hundred students in this work. But the school year was near a close when the work was put on foot, so its future development was left till the beginning of the present school year. At the opening of school the work was taken up and started off. Quite a number of the new men have joined and seem to be taking a great interest in the work. During the Christmas holidays the Association sent three delegates to the Ruston Conference, at Ruston, Louisiana, and they r came back to us filled with a determination to build up the Association at this place. As a result of their efforts, the Bible Classes were reorganized at the beginning of the new year. Over two hundred men are now taking part in this work, which speaks well for our Association, our College, and our boys. The Association is not contented to stop with its present development, but is planning to broaden the field of work and make the Association one of the strong factors in our college life. To aid in the progress of this work, our Association is going to pav their 170 THE LONG HORN VOL. V part of the State Student Secretary’s salary so that some of his time will be devoted to us—in furthering our work. Though this is a new thing in the history of our College, let us hope that it has come to stay, and when we have passed out of College into the busy world that we can some day look back to our Alma Mater and view with pride a strong Association doing its noble work for the youth of Texas. “ ' rp ry2 THE LONG HORN VOL.

HEN Willie Waddles was quite small and the only child, his doting parents planned great things for him. As the years rolled by, how¬ ever, and the family increased, prospects did not look so bright for little Willie, as Mary and Kate and Jane and the rest of them had to be looked out for, and instead of Willie being the whole show, he was merely a side issue. However, this did not prevent him from going to kindergarten, and other sundry institutions, where he soon distinguished himself by being the meanest all-around kid the authorities had ever to deal with. After leaving the kinder¬ garten, his father sent him to a Select School for Boys, where he soon acquired a few of the rudiments of education, incidentally learning that the world covered more than a city block, and that not everything is learned on the farm. From this time on Willie’s decline was rapid. He was now ten years old. and had so far been a shining failure. He had covered only a small part of Gesar and Virgil, was rather behind in Trig, and Analytics—in short, people said that Willie was a dead back number when it came to books. As a final resort he was sent to the Public Schools. Here his downward career continued, so that his father thought that he would scarcely last until he was sixteen, the age required for entrance into the M. and A. College, where Pa’s hopes for his boy were centered. Contrary to prediction and expectation. Willie stayed with it until he got his certificate and a few glowing words of praise (along with ninety-seven other boys and girls) from the Principal of the School. While waiting for the opening of the M. and A. College, he took lessons in grammar, reading, and arithmetic, subjects which had been given only secondary consideration in his earlv education. He then rested up. waiting for the fall opening. The last week at home finally rolled around, as weeks will sometimes do, and Willie made ready for his departure according to rules laid down in the illustrated catalogue. After satisfving himself that he could answer the specimen examination questions found in the appendix, he bought three collars that lap down in front, two shirts, and one or two other necessary articles, packed them in a hat box. i 7 4 THE LONG HORN VOL. V and with the cheers and jeers of Hay Corners ringing in his ears, left for school. His ride on the cars was almost uneventful, until he reached, as he thought, his destination. He found out soon afterward that instead of riding to Meadow- ville, where the college was located, he had gotten off at Slowtown, just five - miles this side of Meadowville. The good people of Slowtown, however, known for their hospitality to strangers, especially aspiring Freshmen, kindly let him sleep in an old dismantled seed house. This little adventure made quite an impression on Willie, who saw, albeit too late, that Hay Corners had one or two redeeming features he hadn ' t noticed before. However, Willie was a Waddles, and a Waddles never said “die,” so be pushed on to the goal. His reception was rather more strenuous than cordial. After a two days’ wait he obtained a meal ticket and a schedule card, together with several pennants and a pair of white gloves. He was rapidly getting on to the gaits, and it was only a matter of a few days before be could tell the difference between a professor and the janitors, and could salute with his left hand as well as with his right. The proudest moment of his life was the time he had his measure taken for his uniform. Time never passed more slowly to Willie than the four weeks which elapsed before his brass buttons arrived. This was chiefly because he had carefully perused his catalogue and therefore distinctly realized that the uniform plus a campaign hat and a best army shirt are not an “additional expense, but the cheapest clothing that a student can wear.” He realized this so distinctly that he wore the hat four years and the uniform all the time. After having appropriated divers sums to the Fund for Disabled Football Players, the Fund for Inveterate Smokers, the College Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Annually, besides eighteen other benevolent and fraternal associations, some of Willie’s verdure began to come off—before long it was all off, and he was as nice and fresh as when he was a member of the gang at home. He found that some duties besides those relating to his studies were required of him—doing stunts of various kinds for the benefit or edification of the Sophs, being the most common. He made the Poker and Crap teams and participated in many tourna¬ ments. He was elected President of the Horse Show and rode more ponies during his first year than any other three members of his Class. He joined the exclusive Bolie Club and lead several cotillions. In short, he was a “Star” Fish, while most of the others were onlv ’“Suckers.” With all this glory, Willie did not seem satisfied. He wanted a membership card in the Sophomore Class and wanted it bad. Backed by a pull, unlimited 1 9°7 THE LONG HORN T 7S nerve, careful riding, and a minimum amount of studying, he finally made it, receiving in addition a corporalship and two hundred and seventeen demerits. He spent the following summer at home, smoking a French Briar on week - days and Murads on Sunday. He was considerably amused at the rusticity of the natives of Hay Corners, and spent hours at Sorghum’s soda fountain critici- zing the town and it inhabitants. Of course all of this strengthened him with the home folks, and especially with Pa. who thought there was only one Willie, and that was Willie Waddles. Nevertheless, Pa was the first to suggest Willie’s going back to school three weeks before the fall opening, in order to give him time to oil up, and also, incidentally, of course, to get him away from home. Willie’s father was also learning a thing or two. Willie wasn’t really fidgeting to go back, but paternal influence finally pre¬ vailed. and for the second time Willie packed his duds and came ofif to school. He was on to all the ropes now—in fact, what he didn’t know at this time wasn ' t worth mentioning. He knew that a Fish was about six below nothing, and was sent to school merely to annoy the upper classmen, especially the Sophs. He was chairman of the Reception Committee, and saw that every Freshman was properly taken care of. To be brief, his Sophomore year was one educational and social triumph. He began going with the girls, having found that although many of the gentler sex were fierce looking, they were perfectly harmless and good-natured. In fact, he learned to tolerate the ladies very well. His instructors were more than pleased with his work, the necessarv was forthcoming, and the future had a rosy hue for Willie. With everything coming his way, Willie’s second year came to a close, and his Junior year was upon him. He now found out that a Soph, and a Fish were necessary evils and were prob¬ ably all right in their place, but a Junior was about as good as they ever got to be. He started smoking cigars, rolled his trousers up to his shoetops, and began hobnobbing with the Seniors—all plain signs to the initiated. Instead of the care-free Freshman of three years ago, we have an entirely different article. Willie realized that it wouldn’t he verv long before he stepped into the bright cal¬ cium, and the thought makes him giddv. He lets down his dignity a bit and indulges in a banquet, where ham sandwiches, carbonated lemonade, and the future are discussed and digested at the same time. This occurrence with sev¬ eral smaller ones gives him a larger opinion than ever of himself, and if Com¬ mencement hadn’t occurred three months later, this tale would never have been written. THE LONG HORN VOL. V 176 Willie’s Senior year! He has steadily risen until now he stands before us —an envied Senior Private. After four years of toil and trouble, Willie is ready to make his final bow and to step back into oblivion and Hay Corners. His bright green ignorance has given way to a dark brown seriousness—he does society and is in turn done by it, be has long ago given up studying, he sleeps through reveille and doesn’t give a d--, in short, he has become what our schools turn out by the bushel every year—a college man. We could recite many an incident and episode—but what’s the use? Willie’s after life was just as his admirers had predicted—a shining failure. He made a comfortable stake, was unjustly accused of being rich and honest at the same time, was .found guilty of the latter charge, and sent to the Legislature for several years, where he will probably pass the remainder of his days.

It was in the times of peril¬ ous Mess Hall warfare, when there arose b. tween one “Grouchy” Wray and “Mur¬ phy” Dabney,agreat rivalryfor t distinction as sharp-shooters ' This title w. s, according to our standard A. and M. dictionary, an honor conferred upon him who was most skilled in the thumping and throwing of bread-balls. Now it is shown by the annals of A. and M’s. history, that this degree of sharp¬ shooter was always a bone for contention between the most ambitious; but nowhere is there recorded such a rivalry as existed between the two above mentioned. So intense grew the strife that many another person became fascinated with this ideal sport; consequently when the fun was at its height three more candidates had entered the ring, namely: “Dobber” Clements, “Bobby” Faust and “Split” Grady. One or the other must be the distinguished person, and to make certain that fairness would be shown, Captain Sargent took a hand. He detailed “Red” Schroeter, who in turn, after thorough consideration, appointed his brother Alex to act as referee, saying that although “Sunny Jim” Gies- ecke led him in point of sore¬ ness, he (Alex) had the might ier chest. Chesty Alex ! and proud he was of it; his mighty chest was ever afterward the envy of everyone. “Chesty” immediately after appointment placed the aspi¬ rants a table’s length apart and gave the command. To make things livelier a large purse had been offered “Mur¬ phy” drew first blood, having soaked “Grouchy” on the head after several throws; but this was the only point scored by him But Wray not to be out done, quickly responded, the result being that Murphy was swatted with a wad as large as a cup. But in the mean¬ time neither “Split”, “Dob¬ ber” nor “Bobby” were lagging behind, as will be shown. The following is only official report given to “Red” by “Chesty Spht } First mone ' - Faust Second money. Dobber Third money. “Red” immediately recorded the above results on the honor (guard) book. Now Grady, being tied with Wray for first money, was un¬ willing to divide honors with anyone, and notified “Chesty” beforehand to leave his name off the report entirely if he broke even with anyone. So when the record was read to the specially assembled battal¬ ion imagine “Split” Grady’s fury. Up he jumps and makes his way to “Chesty.” Chesty- rises to his full height (chest expanded) and awaits the on¬ slaught. “Did you hand in that report to your brother, ‘Chesty’ ?” said “Split” in angry tones. “I did,” said“Chesty” calmly; then with a smile, “why, don ' t you like it? He asked me for it. ” “Well why didn’t you lie to him.” “Do you think I’d lie for your sake,’’ replied “Chesty” with an air of insulted dignity. “No” returned “Split,” “but didn’t you ever tell your brother a lie?” “Chesty” became red with an¬ ger, again drawing up to his full height; great guns! what a great chest he now showed. “No” he replied, “I never told anyone a lie.” “Chesty” !

Nitsua Building 1 y°7 THE LONG HORN I 93 11 ESE statistics were compiled from the answers to a list of questions, copies of which were distributed among the students in the Fall Term. A few of the answers were obviously incorrect. For instance, one unblitshingly wrote that he was forty feet tall, another that he was about ninety years old, while a third stated that his annual expenses at A. and jM. amounted to one million dollars. Answers such as these were not considered. The results of the other answers are as follows: Those who desire a copy of The Long Horn are nearly ninety-three per cent, of the student body. This does very well, but it is not as high as it should be. The average age is a little over nineteen years, three months. The youngest student is sixteen, while the oldest is twenty-eight. The average weight is one hundred and forty-five pounds. The average height is greater than was expected, being ove r five feet, ten and eight-tenths inches. Fhe principle reason students give for coming to A. and INI. seems to be to get a technical or an agricultural education, though a few came because they had no other place to go. Others would not have come of their own free will. Of the students here, ninety-two per cent, are satisfied with their course of instruction. After leaving College eighty-two per cent, intend to follow the occupation they are studying here: of the rest, four intend to be lawyers, one wants to go to West Point, one prefers banking, one wants to be a motorman, and some of the others are divided among preaching, traveling, going to other colleges, mining, marrying, and studying chemistry. The one who likes chem¬ istry wants to locate at College Station. Over fourteen per cent, are working their way through College, while almost as many are partlv doing so. Nearly all the students work during the summer. , - w California. Mexico, New Mexico, China, and Texas are some of the places where students intend to live. Many do not know where they shall locate, while others sav they will go wherever they can get a job. i 94 THE LONG HORN VOL. V The most pleasant experience of one cadet during his stay at College was listening to Ralph Bingham, the lecturer. Another experienced his greatest joy in watching the football games. One says his most harrowing experience was “going to the Nat.” The natatorium, drill, reveille, and examinations are some of the things to which students seriously object. Playing baseball and football, eating “cush,” reading good books, and sleeping are some of the favorite am usements of the cadets. The most coveted privilege is probably that of a Senior private. Improvements suggested for the A. and M. College are a new natatorium, new barracks, an engineering building, a gymnasium, a steam heating plant, and more stock for the Animal Husbandry Department. An improvement along other lines is “the elimination of the spirit of superiority in upper classmen.” Some say they do not like military discipline, but have to admit that it has helped them in some respects. Those who like the military are over sixty-nine per cent, of the corps, while those that if has benefitted are over seventy-four per cent. Those cadets who think a monthly magazine should be published at A. and M. are only about twenty-six per cent, of the corps. A number think it would be rather premature to start one at this time, while others believe that a monthly would be too expensive with the publications we already have. Many take occasion to comment on The Battalion in answering the question referring to a monthly. The comments vary from compliments to the opposite. One says, “The Battalion gives the news, and a monthly is unnecessary.” Another says, “We need a monthly magazine because The Battalion does not give the news.” Most of the students frequent the library. Some of those who do not say that they have no time to spend there. The average expense of a student at A. and M. this year runs up to three hundred and four dollars. This includes the fees paid to the College. The average expense last year was two hundred and eighty-five dollars. In the contest to elect the College Beauty, the votes were very much scat¬ tered. Standifer is first with W. A. Gilbert a close second. W. G. Moore, Holmes, Hensel, and J. S. Anderson also ran. VV. A. Gilbert thinks he is the College Beauty, however ; and J. B. Crockett and J. A. Collins are second and third respectively in thinking the same of themselves. i go? THE LONG HORN ?9S Reichman is the freshest Fish, with Turk a poor second.

Van Amburgh and Whitney tie for second place in the matter of hot air; while J. Dale is second in the contest for the wittiest cadet. Van Amburgh ties with W. Bogel for third place. P. E.

FTutson are next in the order named. About ninety per cent, of the students intend to return to A. and M. next year. One says, “It all depends on the rank T get.” 196 THELONGHORN VOL.

But many have the mistaken idea, which competitors help to magnify, that they are ! expensive ” and that something “cheaper” will do in their stead. The Facts Are That The DeLaval Cream Separators are not only the best, but at the same time by far the cheapest—in proportion to the actual capacity and the actual life of the machine. These are simple facts easily capable of proof to any buyer who will take the trouble to get at them and who need only apply to the nearest DE LAVAL agent or send for a catalogue to do so. he DeLaval Cream Separator Co.

C. LILLY CO. COLUMBUS, OHIO Watermans ideal Fountain Pen The pen with the Clip-Cnj Tlii? pen, which is the Standard of the World, has become so because of the Spoon Feed. The Spoon Feed is flat and broad and has cups cut into the side which take up theoverflow, common to all other fountain pens, when the ink is almost all out of the barrel. The Spoon feed absolutely and positively overcomes this defect that existed even in Waterman ' s Ideal before its advent. Any of our dealers willfexplain this further. The Clip- Cap, a comparatively new feature, holds the pen securely in the pocket. These pens maybe pur¬ chased almost anywhere and are exchangeable until satisfactory.
