i6 THE LONG HORN Vol. VI A. and M. Publications HERE are few colleges as fortunate as A. M. in the titles of their publica¬ tions. The name of the annual, The Long Horn., stands for Texas and the representative College of Texas. The long-horned cattle are now no more. Many of the vast ranches on which they ran are cut up into farms and orchards, but the spirit of independence, as symbolized by the long-horned cattle and the ranchman, still abides in Texas. A. M. is known not only as the College for Texans. It is further characterized by its military system, and from “the military” is taken the name of the College weekly, The Battalion. I he Long Horn is the parting gift to the College of the Graduating Class, while The Battalion is brought out by a staff chosen by the Students’ Association, every student being a member of this body. The Battalion is now in its fifteenth volume. Four years ago it was changed from a monthly magazine to a weekly news¬ paper, and has been published in the latter form up to the present time. This volume of The Long Horn is the sixth which has been issued, the first being published in i902-’03. Both of the student publications may now be said to be in a flourishing condition. New writers and cartoonists and business managers are constantly develop¬ ing, though not, indeed, as fast as the editors desire. At the beginning of this scholastic year, the members of the two staffs met and organized the A. M. Publication Society. Mr. T. J. Beesley, editor-in-chief of The Long Horn., was elected the first President, while Mr. C. W. Leggett, editor- in-chief of The Battalion, was chosen to be the first Secretary-Treasurer. At the meetings of the Society, the College literary interests are discussed and means of im¬ proving the student publications are suggested. Social meetings are held about once a term, and on these occasions the members enjoy a little informal banquet prepared by themselves. Membership in the Publication Society is regarded as a very desirable asset, and this fact is expected to encourage students to interest themselves in the publication work. T. E. H.

igo8 THE LONG HORN 15 In presenting this volume of “The Long Horn” to you, we lay the fruits of a year s labor at your feet, and ask that you view with tolerant sympathy its contents.

We trust that when each reader has reached life’s hill-top, when each one has given up the contest in the struggle for prominence, when you sit around your family circles with naught left but to re¬ flect, if then this volume shall give you pleasure, shall cause you to live over again those college days so dear, shall cause you to walk again grounds made sacred to memory, the ambition of the editors will be fulfilled.
