•An Appreciation T THEN the people of Texas learned, thru the press last A September, that Dr. W. B. Bizzell had accepted the ’ presidency of A. and M. there were few students of this college who had any knowledge of him other than that he was president of C. I. A. The newspapers spoke highly of him, but the cadets reserved judgment until they could form opin¬ ions for themselves. But he has made good; and the Senior class considers it a privilege to have this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of him, and his work. Dr. Bizzell was born near Independence, Washington County, Texas. He received his early training in the rural schools and prepared for college in the academy of Baylor University, from which in stituton he later received the degree of B. S. and Ph. D. He later pursued graduate work in the University of Tennessee, the University of Chicago, and Columbia University. The degree of M. A. was conferred upon him by the University of Chicago, where he specialized in rural sociology. He also received the degree of Doctor of Civil Law from the Illinois College of Law, at Chicago. Upon arriving at A. and M., our new president readily grasped the problems which confronted the College and set about to solve them. He has already done much for the social life and welfare of the College. The greatest of his achieve¬ ments has been that of inducing the Legislature to submit to a vote of the people the proposed amendment separating the State University and A. and M. Dr. Bizzell is a man of high education and great ability, and one well fitted to direct the affairs of a great college. He is a man of shrewd insight, sincere character, a warm heart, and a cordial manner, and he has well earned the respect and loyalty which the corps so unanimously accords him.
