T ' T 7 HEN the Editors of the Long Horn find themselves “face to face’ 1 1 zvith the question, “To zvhom shall the Book be dedicated?” they r r find themselves confronted zvith a serious question and one on zvhich the success of the Long Horn depends to a large extent. They are faced zvith a question that should not be settled by personal feeling, but one that should be decided by the fitness of the one to zvhom the dedication is made, and how zvell he deserves the honor. This year zve feel that we have found a man zvho pre-eminently fulfills every necessary qualification and a man zvho richly deserves this, the greatest honor the Senior Class can bestozv upon him—our beloved Coach, Charles B. Moran. This is an honor usually bestowed upon some one zvho has long been con¬ nected zvith A. M., but this year zvhen zve glance at the record “Charlie” has made during the three short years he has been at A. M., zve feel amply justified in departing from this ancient custom. As a Coach he has brought our colors home labeled “Champions” twice in football and tzvice in track, and it has been through no fault of his ozvn that zve have never zvon a cham¬ pionship in baseball. This has undoubtedly proven him to be one of the greatest Coaches in the country today, and the School is indeed fortunate that it is able to claim such a Coach. But zvith all this, it is Charlie Moran, the man to zvhom this book is dedi¬ cated; the man zve have seen work day and night on Kyle Field in order to have it in better shape for the boys; the man zve have seen soliciting money from the professors and business men of Bryan and obligating his ozvn per¬ sonal property to build a Gymnasium here, because the boys needed one and no appropriation could be secured from the Legislature to bund one; the man zve have seen turn dozvn better offers from other schools because he wanted to finish the zvork he had started here; the man zve Iriz seen going to the President’s and Commandant ' s offices trying to get sc ■ Cadet out of trouble; in short, the Senior Class dedicates this volume of the Long Horn to the man zvho has proven himself to be, in the truest sense of the zvord, a Gentleman and our Friend, (Efyarles 1L iHonm 5
