In the examination of old civil engineer¬ ing handbooks, one finds the solutions of problems in chemistry, me¬ chanics, and a discussion of the theories of the newly discovered elec¬ tricity. Then, with invention and progress, came the need of speciali¬ zation, and the subject of engineering was divided into several different parts dealing with Chemistry, Mechanics, Electricity, etc. After the first subdivision each branch was treated as a whole; textbooks were written covering everything that was known of one particular branch and were entitled civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering, as the case might be. The student of today in taking up one of the engineering courses finds that it includes many different phases covered in many volumes of textbo.oks. He also finds that each branch has a definite and specific relation to every other branch. The Engineering School at A. and M. consists of six departments, namely: Architectural, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Textile Engineering. All of these departments are under one head, the Dean of Engineering. Each has its own separate department head and has its own separate teaching staff. The buildings of the Engineer¬ ing School are seven in number and provide space for classrooms and laboratories of all the departments except that of Architecture, which has its class and drafting rooms located on the fourth floor of the Ad¬ ministration Building. The School of Engineering, under the supervision of Dean F. C. Bolton, has been steadily and constantly growing until at present it has about one-half the total enrollment of the College and the great demand for engineering graduates from A. and M. goes to show that the Engineer¬ ing School of Texas A. and M. is easily on a par with others of its kind in the South. The teaching staff of this School consists of about thirty professors and about half as many associate professors besides a score or more of assistant professors and instructors. Page ji Architecture npHE year of 1923-21: finds the department of Architecture with an enroll- X ment of one hundred and thirty students. To those familiar with the size of Architectural Schools, this is a very significant fact for there are only six or eight colleges in the whole country having more students than A. and M. has in Architecture. When we remember that only five years ago there were but twelve students taking the course, we wonder what has caused this unusual growth. Perhaps more than anything else, the cause may be attributed to the efficiency of a well-rounded teaching staff, which has been so built up that each division of architecture is now represented in the faculty by an expert in that particular field. As was to be expected, the students have responded to the efforts put forth in their behalf, and, with a splendid spirit of enthusiasm, they have gone about their work. This has made it possible to steadily raise teaching standards in all architectural subjects. Students in junior and senior design are admitted in the Annual Southern College Competition in Architecture and win their share of honors. Two large drafting rooms formerly used separately have been thrown into one by taking out the corridor in one great room. • This room is used by all classes in design and gives individual space for about eighty students. After this room has been properly equipped with lockers, blinds, etc., it will be one of the largest drafting rooms of its kind to be found anywhere. Recent graduates in architecture have all found good positions, and reports from their employers are satisfactory and even flattering in one or more cases. The teaching staff consists of E. B. LaRoche, professor; H. N. June, pro¬ fessor; G. W. Gill, associate professor; W. L. Bradshaw, instructor. rage 32 Qh em ica l Sng in eer ing I HE Chemical Engineering course was established and designed to prepare A men, trained in the knowledge of Chemistry and Engineering, for use in the development and control of different industries. Every industry should be under the control of a man trained for the purpose. Texas has educated but few men along this line, and the demand of industries is increasing more rapidly than men with Chemical Engineering training can be supplied. The industries are constantly crying out for men who know what they want and want what they know; these are trained in the science of Chemistry combined with engineer¬ ing training and ability. The development of Chemical Engineering may be said to be due not only to the recognition of the importance of the chemistry in the training of every liberally educated person, as well as to those specializing in other branches of science, but also to the fact that the development of so many industrial enter¬ prises are dependent upon a thorough knowledge of chemistry and its relation to industrial processes, our experiences in this last war have especially empha¬ sized the importance of a training in chemistry and the development, due to the necessity of the Chemical Engineering work in the industries. The demand for chemical engineers to fill responsible positions in the Pe¬ troleum Industry and Cotton Seed Oil Industry is very urgent and demand will be greater due to the rapid development of these industries. Sanitary chemists are especially needed to guarantee the purity of the drinking water for our cities and the disposal of sewage, also as managers of filtration and water softening plants, as well as many other problems pertaining to the public health. Such demands form the basis for the Chemical Engineering curriculum, and the methods of instruction are to fit the student for such positions. Page 33 mm 3 • Qivil Engineering T HE Department of Civil Engineering was established in 1887, and in the JL thirty-six years of its existence it has grown from a one-man department to one now including nine teachers. About thirty different men have been on the teaching staff of this department, but for many years its work was handled entirely by Professor J. C. Nagle and Professor D. W. Spence. A total of some¬ thing over five hundred graduates in civil engineering are now engaged in putting into practice the principles learned while at A. and M. Most of these graduates are in engineering work or other lines closely allied to engineering and are assist¬ ing in developing the resources of the state which made their technical training possible. The purpose of the technical instruction in the course of Civil Engineering is to train the student in clear thinking and in self-reliance, to the end that he may be able to attain the higher positions in the engineering profession; also to give him such information and such skill in elementary design, drafting, sur¬ veying and the like that he will be able to serve an employer acceptably imme¬ diately after graduation. The laboratories and equipment for carrying out this purpose are not excelled by any technical school in the South or Southwest. The highway laboratory in particular is especially well equipped and the popu¬ larity of the highway engineering option for seniors has doubtless been largely due to the excellent facilities offered for the study of highway materials. The teaching staff of the Civil Engineering Department for this year is as follows: Professors J. J. Richey, B. D. Marburger, Byron Bird, H. E. Bilger; Associate Professors T. A. Munson, C. E. Sandstedt; Assistant Professor J. T. L. McNew; Instructors H. C. Doremus and S. R. Wright. Page 34 | HE course in Electrical Engineering was inaugurated in 1904 with a graduate JL class of one student. Since that time the classes in Electrical Engineering have increased by a steady, consistent growth until now this course has one of the largest enrollments of any course in the College, and more than three hundred young men have graduated from it. During the time since the course was established the curriculum has been strengthened to keep pace with the developments in the electrical engineering field and with improved methods of technical education. The Course in Electrical Engineering is designed to prepare men for posi¬ tions with organizations engaged in generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity for lighting and power; with organizations engaged in design, manu¬ facture, and distribution of electrical machinery; with electrical railway com¬ panies; and in many other branches where electricity is made to do work of mankind. The Department of Electrical Engineering occupies the Electrical Engineer¬ ing Building, a fireproof structure containing three well equipped dynamo laboratories, three laboratories for study and use of more delicate electrical measuring instruments, a communication laboratory, besides class rooms, lecture rooms, store rooms, and offices. The equipment for undergraduate work com¬ pares favorably with that of any institution in the country. A tadio station equipped for both radio telephony and telegraphy is maintained and supple¬ ments the work of the laboratories, besides being used for a regular broadcast program. Page 35 zJYCechanical Engineering - ' TpHE primary function of the A. and M. College of Texas being to provide A adequate instruction in Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, it is natural that the Department of Mechanical Engineering should hold an important position in the teaching activities. In this capacity it serves practically all students completing courses in the Engineering School. Not only does the department thus function as a service department in the Engineering School; but it especially fosters the Course in Mechanical Engineering which has been offered since the beginning of the College. The course has kept pace with the developments in the mechanical engineering fields, and, as a result, presents a well balanced strong curriculum appearing in particular to serious-minded students of earnest purpose. From this Course a great number of students have been graduated, many now holding positions of honor, tr ust, and responsibility, not only in the State of Texas, but in the engineering world. The teaching staff has grown with the demand for the kind of instruction given, until it now consists of thirteen members, specialists each in his line. There is a heavy demand for graduates from this Course, and it is the general feeling that the Mechanical Engineering Graduates Make Good. Page 36 % ‘Textile Engineering r | ' V HE Textile Engineering Department is trying to train its students to take J- charge and operate cotton mills. There are openings for students in com¬ mission houses, with textile engineering companies, and as salesmen for textile equipment and supplies. The mill superintendent exercises a fatherly supervision over his mill village and should be a well rounded man to keep in harmony his workers, to look after their physical and moral welfare, as well as to master the problems of his power house, the electrical equipment of his mill, and the textile machinery in his carding, spinning, weaving, and finishing rooms. To this end the course of instruction is selected with a hope that the broadest possible foundation will be laid for the superstructure which is only started with the specialized subjects of his college course. The department is of service to a large number of students in the course it offers in cotton classing. Here the grading and stapling of cotton is taught primarily to agricultural students who may need this information in marketing their own cotton. A study of the cotton business is made with a view of fitting those who choose cotton buying as a profession for that specialized work. The outstanding need of the department is a dye laboratory. There is a great deal of interest in the State at this time and the interest seems to be along lines requiring bleaching and dyeing. It is hoped that in the near future arrange¬ ments will be made for this equipment. The teaching staff of the department is Professor J. B. Bagley, Head of the Department; Associate Prof. L. E. Dowd; and Associate Prof. F. E. Lichte. Page 37 a A ;-r Agricultural Building School of .Agriculture E. J. Kyle, M. S.

The central aim of the Course is to prepare men to become Agricultural Economists in the broad sense of the term. This involves a much broader concept of agriculture than has hitherto been generally held. It involves the concept that farmers will become associated in powerful business organizations carrying on their commercial operations in accordance with fundamental princi¬ ples that have been approved in other lines of industry. Men who have finished this course will be well equipped to enter general business such as banker or merchant, etc.; to administer landed estates, large or small; to enter the Civil Service in the field of Marketing, Statistics, etc.; to become managers of a business either private or co-operative; to serve as agri¬ cultural advisers in chambers of commerce, corporations including railroads; to serve as County Agents and instructors and research students in Economics and commercial subjects. It should perhaps be emphasized that there is at present a great need for business men who have a thorough understanding of both the economic and technical side of agriculture. This is especially true in a state like Texas, which is so predominantly agricultural. Much of the misunderstanding that now exists between rural and urban communities will be dispelled when men who have taken this Course, with the broad vision it inculcates, become distributed as business men and leaders all over the State.

Assistant Professor qpHE work covered by this department is of necessity broad, dealing as it J- does with engineering related to agriculture. It stands as a connecting link between the field of strictly engineering work and the purely agriculture field. It applies engineering in a practical way to the engineering problems of agriculture. In an attempt to cover this field in a satisfactory way, the Agriculture Engineering Department ofifers courses in: Farm Machinery, that includes courses in construction, operation, calibra¬ tion, and repair. Agriculture Surveying and Drainage, covering map making, use of the level and tape, as well as locating tile drains, ditches, and terraces. Irrigation that includes all irrigation practices. Farm Buildings which take up designing, planning, locating, constructing, and fitting farm buildings. Tractors and Gas Engines—their construction, operation, and selection. Automobiles and Trucks—their construction, operation, adjustments, and selection. Farm Concrete, which takes up principles of concrete work on the farm; proportioning, mixing, placing, and such. Special Short Courses in Automobiles and Tractors, which are offered for farm boys and others who want to prepare for efficient tractor operation and auto garage work.

Professor Associate Professor Assistant Professor Assistant Professor Instructor S NOW organized, this department is responsible for the instruction in soils, fertilizers, and farm crops. The courses in soils are planned to give the student a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles underlying the proper management of the soil, followed by the advance instruction dealing primarily with the recent literature of the subject and the results of the most noteworthy investigations to soils and soil fertility. The work in fertilizers embraces a study of the properties of fertilizing materials; methods of determining the fertilizer needs of soils; correct practice with reference to field crops; the care and management of barnyard manure; and the proper utilization of green manure in soil improvement. Farm crops include the studies in field crops with regard to structure, composition, races and varieties, tillage practice, harvesting, and marketing. In the advanced courses special attention is given to the recent developments in field crop production, and the work is so directed as to cover thoroughly results of the more recent important investigations relative to the various phases of crops and crop production.

Wilson ...... Associate Professor A. H. Groth ........ Instructor ' ' T HE purpose of the Animal Husbandry Department is to train young men JL in such a way that they will be well qualified to handle the various kinds of production and management work in the several classes of livestock. For this purpose the department is equipped with an Animal Husbandry Building containing offices, classrooms, and a livestock judging arena. On the Animal Husbandry Farm there are four barns, namely, horse barn, cattle barn, sheep barn, and hog barn. The following herds and flocks are maintained for instructional purposes: Aberdeen-Angus, Herefords, Shorthorns, and Brahmas cattle; Percheron, Morgan, Standard-bred, and Thoroughbred horses; Poland- China, Duroc-Jersey, Tamworth, and Hampshire hogs; and Southdown, Shrop¬ shire, Ramboulliet, and Corriedale sheep. The subject-matter for the Animal Husbandry Department is divided into four main heads. During the first two years of the college course the student is trained in the judging of livestock from market and breed type standpoints; during the junior year instructions are given the breeding and feeding of ani¬ mals. The senior year is devoted especially to the production, management, and marketing of the various classes of animals. Special attention is given to advanced students in making trips to livestock shows and sales and to inspection of livestock farms. Page 42 •• , N I HE Dairy Husbandry Department is educating and training young men J- to become the future leaders of the dairy industry in Texas. This phase of agricultural work is developing rapidly in the Southwest, and former graduates are now engaged in extension work, as instructors in high schools and colleges, as research specialists, as county agent advisors, and as managers of dairy farms and creameries. The department has a 593-acre dairy farm, the operations of which are devoted to the growing of feed crops and to the preparation and maintenance of temporary and permanent pastures. A purebred herd, consisting of 160 typical representatives of the Jersey, Holstein-Friesian, Guernsey, Ayrshire and Dutch Belted breeds of dairy cattle, is maintained for instructional purposes. Special attention is given to correct type, together with production; and the student who chooses this field of Dairy Husbandry makes a carefu 1 study of selection for these points. Good records have recently been made among the Jersey and Holsteins at College. The most notable record is that made by the purebred Jersey, Kleberg’s Jacoba Pogette, of 749.86 lbs. butter fat, which is equivalent to 937.26 lbs. butter, the highest record ever made by any breed in Brazos County. In the other field, the student is taught the manufacturing side of dairying. Looking to the future, an appropriation of $15,000 will be asked for a new manu¬ facturing building, which will be in keeping with the advancement of the industry in Texas. A new modern dairy stock judging pavilion has just been completed, which has cost approximately $25,000.00, and is one of the best in the United States. Dairy manufacturing will be temporarily housed in this building. Up-to-date manufacturing equipment for butter and ice cream making has been installed. fgu- Page 43 Horticulture E. J. Kyle .........

Instructor f I M I IS Department aims to train men to become practical fruit and vegetable X growers, to develop practical landscape designers, to teach horticulture, to train men for research work, and to do extension work in horticulture. In order to successfully accomplish these aims, students are given a thorough grounding, during their Freshman and Sophomore years, in the fundamental sciences of Chemistry, Biology and Geology, plus some academic work and some general agricultural subjects. In the Junior and Senior years actual specializa¬ tion begins, the work being more largely in the technical agricultural subjects, and especially in those along horticultural lines. The work covers in detail, Plant Propagation, Vegetable Gardening, Fruit Growing, Nut Culture, Viti¬ culture, Citriculture, the marketing of horticulture crops, experimental horti¬ culture, Landscape Art, and Floriculture. The Department is now growing on the College grounds standard varieties of peaches, plums, figs, grapes, berries, roses, and other horticultural plants. It is also well equipped with greenhouses, hotbeds, and cold frames. A model farm is also maintained west of the college campus. Besides the theoretical and practical work given at the college, students are given opportunity to get further experience in horticultural work during the summer months. Page 44 mm Wm Poultry Husbandry D. H. Reid D. E. Irving O. A. Hanke Professor Assistant Professor Farm Superintendent f I V HE work in the Poultry Husbandry is planned to cover in a thorough manner X all phases of poultry production, management, and preparing for market. A complete course is offered sophomores and covers the main essentials of the industry in general—breeds, feeding for fancy show and egg production, judging, incubation, housing, feeding, management, and marketing. Advanced work is offered in breeding and feeding. The work is divided into classroom work and practical contact work on the College Farm. Equipment for the College Poultry Farm includes laying houses of all kinds arranged for commercial and experimental work, brooder houses, brooder equip¬ ment, and other necessities of a modern poultry farm. Good representatives of the important breeds and varieties of chickens, ducks, gees e, turkeys, pigeons, pheasants, and ostiiches compose the farm flock. The birds are used in the class work to familiarize the students with the possibilities of each class together with its care and management. The department extends every help possible to the poultry breeders and farmers of Texas so that they may better enlarge and develop this side of their farm and add much to the agricultural development and wealth of our State. This Farm also conducts The Texas National Egg-Laying Contest, as well as other very interesting and valuable experiments in feeding, breeding, and management of poultry. Entomology S. W. Bilsing R. K. Fletcher V. A. Little R. G. Richmond Professor Associate Professor Assistant Professor Instructor The Courses in the Department of Entomology are arranged with a tnree- fold purpose. The first course is devised with the idea of acquainting students with the systematic position of insects and their inter-relationship. After the student has acquired an adequate idea of the relationship of insects he may choose courses which will apply to the special line of Agriculture in which he is most interested. These courses include a life history study of most important insects affecting cotton, corn, wheat, oats, sorghums, and vegetables. In addition, the student may study insects affecting man and domestic animals, and the role they play in the carriage of diseases. Those most interested in beekeeping from either the commercial standpoint or as a side line have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with that subject. This Department is well equipped with modern bee equipment and is fitted to give special training in that industry. Finally, the Department of Entomology also trains men to be technical entomologists. There is ample opportunity for men such as inspectors in pink boll worm work, nursery inspection, and bee instruction work. Government and State experimental stations also offer opportunity to men who are well trained in entomological work. Z Biology O. M. Ball, A. M., Ph. D. . . . Professor r I HE Department of Biology presents work under the subdivisions X that, in most colleges, are independent departments, viz., Botany Zoology, and Bacteriology. In all courses the plant and animal life is studied as a living thing; that is, emphasis is laid rather on what the organism does and how it lives than on its structure and relationships. The elementary courses, therefore attempt to give a clear insight into the nature of living things. Thus a secure foundation may be laid for the technical courses of plant and animal culture in other lines of work. Although the student taking the work of this Department may not become in after life either farmer or biologist, an acquaintance with the great principles underlying the activities of living things is an essen¬ tial part of a liberal education. Department of Agricultural Economics Among the important divisions embraced within this department are: Accountancy, Statistics, Marketing, Farm Management and Agricul¬ tural Economics proper. Within each division a number of courses are offered and new courses are being added as the need for greater speciali¬ zation arises. A number of graduate courses are being offered. The Department has well-equipped laboratories and a library which is rapidly improving in both quantity and quality of its publications. The Department takes advantage of the reciprocal working relations that exist between the Experiment Station and the School of Agri¬ culture with the result that research projects are carried on by members of the Staff through the Experiment Station while members of the Experiment Station Staff conduct classes within the Department. Qen etics E. P. Humbert ...... Professor W. P. Horlacher . . . Associate Professor The word Genetics has been defined as that science which seeks to account for the resemblances and the differences which are exhibited among organisms lelated by descent. It is primarily concerned, there¬ fore, with studies of variation and heredity. The courses in the Department of Genetics treat of Variation, statis¬ tical measurement of variation, theories of evolution, the factor hypo¬ thesis of heredity, and the theoretical effects of inbreeding and out- breeding. Following the courses that treat Genetics from the theoretical point of view, courses in plant breeding and animal breeding are offered. Advanced courses for graduate students and a graduate Seminar are maintained. Page 46 ‘The School of ' Vocational Teaching C. H. Winkler, Ph. D...... Dean I HE School of Vocational Teaching, embracing the divisions J- of the former Department of Vocational Teaching, was organ¬ ized last September. The objective of this school is to train teachers of Agriculture and the Trades and Industries, as provided in the Federal Vocational Education Act; high school teachers of science and manual training; rural school teachers and supervisors; and to serve the public schools in every way possible.

Med. and Surgery Associate Professor Associate Professor Associate Professor npHE School of Veterinary Medicine was established at A. and M. College by JL an act of the State Legislature in 1916. Since that time the school has made remarkable strides, and at the present time is amply provided to give thorough instruction along veterinary lines. The School offers a four-year course of study leading to the degree of D. V. M., which has been approved by the Civil Service Commission and the Ameri¬ can Association. The aim of this department is to train veterinarians to deal with diseases and defects of livestock, and with their causative agents. It further aims to conduct investigations dealing with the nature of diseases in therapeutics, and in the immunization of animals from contagion; and also to conduct work in the production of biological products to be employed in diagnosis, treatment, and immunization. The School has the following objects in view: To control investigations as to the nature, prevention, and cure of animal diseases, including such as are communicable to man and such as are the cause of epizootics among livestock; to diagnosis, prevention, and cure of diseases, and in the conducting of sanitary work by modern methods; and, last, to instruct in matters concerning the normal structure and function of the animal body and sanitary science as applied to livestock and correlatively to the human family.

It is the business of any research agency to carefully project its work, employ suitable methods, accu¬ rately record and interpret the facts at hand, and possibly also to suggest practi¬ cal application of any knowledge thus gained. Actual knowledge, not vague theories, or mere observations, is the only sound means of overcoming the ob¬ stacles in the way of our state and national welfare. The farmers and stockmen are confronted with a multitude of obstacles which become the problems of the agricultural scientists in this and other states. The public recognizes that it is to the benefit of all society for the farmer’s and the stockmen’s problems to (X Page 49 i be solved at public expense, partly because of the inability of the farmers and the stockmen to solve these problems themselves and partly because of the great expense involved. The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System recog¬ nizes its function, and its duty to make applications of the several sciences to the problems of agriculture, through the use of appropriate methods, with a view to the development of information which may be put into harness on Texas farms and ranches, to the end that suitable progress in agricultural industry may be realized. The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System is organized into a Main Station and fourteen subordinate sub-stations. There are fourteen re¬ search divisions of work in the Main Station at College Station, and fourteen outlying experiment farms, known as substations, located in as many repre¬ sentative agricultural regions of the State, and in addition there are four field laboratories, or outyards as they are termed, devoted to beekeeping investiga- ions. Service to farmers and agriculture in general is rendered by the Station System by dissemination of newly-introduced or developed strains of plants and animals. Specific examples of service of this nature are the introduction into Texas of Sudan Grass in 1909, the value of the crop of which now amounts to fifteen million dollars in the United States; the introduction of feterita in 1909, a crop which has been a valuable asset to the grain sorghums the annual yield of which in Texas now amounts to forty million bushels and more;-the develop¬ ment and distribution of Spur feterita, a superior selection of feterita which has now practically replaced the common strain in Texas; the development and distribution of Blackhul Kafir 153; the development of the Nessberry, a valuable hybrid of dewberry and raspberry; the development of an unusually high-yielding peanut at Nacogdoches; the introduction and propagation of the Chinese Elm which has proved to be a valuable tree for a large portion of the state; the develop¬ ment and propagation of the Arizona cypress, a valuable tree for West and Page 50 Northwest Texas; the development of a pedigreed strain of White Leghorn chickens based upon the actual results of high egg-production; the distribution of pedigreed queen bees, and other cases. Another class of service is the disseminaticn of principles which are useful to farmers and stockmen and of value in the development of the agricultural resources of the State. Some examples of this type of service are the develop¬ ment and dissemination of the principles underlying the economic operation of ranches and ranch lands, of special significance in Texas since 73 per cent of the total area of the state is grazed; the dissemination and development of prin¬ ciples underlying the production of cotton in the semi-humid region of the State, in which is situated 29 per cent of the landed area of the state now free from the boll weevil. A large part of this region is well adapted to cotton production, and the development of the principles underlying the production of cotton in this region is an outstanding contribution, not only to the resources and wealth of the region itself, but of the entire state. Other examples are the development and dissemination of principles underlying the improvement of wool production in sheep and of mohair production in Angora goats, based upon studies of the weights of fleeces and other hereditary characters in relation to environment; the development and dissemination of principles underlying the spread and the control of cotton root rot, a disease which is causing annual losses conservatively estimated at not less than fifteen million dollars in Texas; the development of principles relating to the differences in ability to germinate of lots of cotton seed under unfavorable conditions, and tending toward the ultimate development of hardier strains possessing unusual seedling vigor; the development and dis¬ semination of principles relating to the feeding values of plants and plant prod¬ ucts, and many other achie ements. The Agricultural Experiment Station System is a large contributor to the general store of agricultural knowledge used in the classroom and disseminated to the people through the teaching and the extension branches of the institu¬ tion. General principles developed from bodies of facts are useful, but the chief store of agricultural knowledge comes from the publication of detailed data concerning certain points and the establishment of certain facts with scientific accuracy, all of which are subsequently included in textbooks as the basis of instruction in education in agriculture. On account of the size of the state and the diversity of climatic conditions in Texas, there is urgent need of agricultural information applicable to local conditions, and that this information has been developed and given to the people of the state by the Experiment Station System is indicated by the 380 publications which have been issued since the organiza¬ tion of the Station in January of 1888. There has been a gradual increase in the amount of public support which the Station System has received as the results of previous researches become available and are found to be of great service to agricultural enterprise. The Station System also grows in public favor with the gradual increase in the effi¬ ciency with which knowledge is disseminated throughout the population. Texas Engineering Experiment Station E. J. Fermier ...... Director T A HE primary function of the engineering departments of the A College is the giving of instruction to the resident students. Since these departments are state-supported, it should be their desire to serve the State in every way possible. In furtherance of that purpose, the Board of Directors of the College in 1914 authorized the establishing of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station whose function in a broad way was conceived as supplying to the engineering industries of the State, a similar service to that supplied by the Agricultural Experiment Station to the agricultural industry. D. W. Spence, then Dean of Engineering was made director and started the work without special provision of funds. After the death of Mr. Spence, Mr. Nagle succeeded him in his three capa¬ cities of Head of the Civil Engineering Department, Dean of Engineering, and Director of the Engineering Experiment Station. In April, 1922, with the resignation of Director Nagle, Pro¬ fessor Fermier was elected to succeed him in his capacity as Director of the Engineering Experiment Station. No separate personnel is provided for the station; all members of the teaching staff of the engineering school are members of the station staff. 1 i X v- The advisory council consists of the heads of technical depart¬ ments of the engineering school. A number of bulletins have been published, and a number of other projects are under research with the prospect of several addi¬ tional bulletins in the summer. So long as the supply holds out, all bulletins may be obtained free upon request to the Director. Extension Service T. O. Walton ........ Director H. H. Williams ....... State Agent Miss Helen Higgins . . State Home Demonstration Agent R. W. Pearsons ..... Assistant State Agent Miss Mildred Horton Assistant Home Demonstration Agent BOUNTY Agent Work started in Texas in 1913 and produced such excellent results that the Smith-Lever Bill was passed in May, 1914. In the fall of that year Texas complied with the provisions of the Smith-Lever Act; since which time the work has been conducted under the U. S. Department of Agriculture and A. and M. College of Texas co-operating. The Extension Service is one of the three co-ordinate divisions of the college and teaches rural people, through demonstration, lecture, and publication. In other words, this organization is the “legs of the College,” and conveys information regarding improved agricultural and home economic practices to rural people. This information is obtained from the results of experiment stations and the best farm practices. The work of the Service has grown until there are 44 administrators, district agents, and specialists; 150 white country farm demonstration agents and 19 negro farm demonstrators; 66 white home demonstration agents and 10 negro home demonstration agents, while the administra¬ tion headquarters at College Station require the services of 21 account¬ ants, clerks and stenographers. Probably the strongest testimony to the value of the Extension Service activities outside of its educational value is the showing of financial gains to the co-operators and demonstrators who followed demonstrational methods in 1922 as contrasted with the average results obtained by farmers who followed the old hit or miss method. These gains are made in co-operative buying and selling, plant and crop demon¬ strations, feeding and breeding of cattle, poultry and other farm stock, control of plant diseases and insects, Boys’ and Girls’ clubs, Women’s clubs, and many numerous other rural organizations. The total financial gains as a result of following the methods advocated by the Extension Service, as shown by the annual report, amounted to $13,623,959.04, and the tax rate on this amount would more than pay for the appropria¬ tions for the Extension Work in Texas. Page 53 i The Academic T)epartmerit T V HE primary function of the A. and M. College of Texas is to provide JL adequate instruction in Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, together with the Natural Sciences. However, in giving this training, it is recognized that the finer and cultural studies cannot be neglected; the Agriculturist and Engineer of this day and time must not only be skilled in the mechanical side of his profession, but must also be prepared on a wider scope or have a more liberal education to well fit him to take the leadership in the social and economic development in the community in which he resides. Education from the cultural standpoint is to be had from such Departments as Economics, English, Mathematics, Modern Languages, and History. The Economics course covers the various fields within its scope such as Fundamental Principles of Economics, Business Law, Corpora¬ tions, Money and Banking, and other related studies. Principles of Economics is a course required of all students, while the others are included in elective groups. English, the primary and most essential subject of any student of this college, embraces such subjects as Rhetoric, Composition, Argu¬ mentation and Public Speaking Courses. There is also a course offered which treats of literature. Students are required to study all the courses except the last one. Mathematics, which is a fundamental science in Engineering, covers a field which enables students to become better and more efficient engineers. This department teaches math in every part of the field, such as Algebra, Analytics, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, Arith¬ metic, and related subjects, which are very essential for the engineer and highly useful to the agricultural student. History has been handed down from all ages as one of the Subjects that makes a liberal education. Emphasis is placed on Citizenship and Industrial Development of the United States as well as courses dealing with Modern Europe and Latin-America by the History Department. Probably language is one of the most important requisites of a cultural education, and the Department of Modern Languages teaches both elementary and advanced work in French, German and Spanish. While these courses are not required and are elective for Juniors and Seniors, they are courses which go toward rounding an education. After considering all of various departments, we may freely state that an education is not entirely complete, nor as well rounded out, unless subjects other than those of purely a technical nature are con¬ sidered. It is then the purpose and intent of the Academic Depart¬ ment to give such training as will give students a more liberal and cultural education. Page 54 iESK ♦ ' Page 55 V. H.

I . : Page 118 ipps fu History of the Senior Class I HERE is a saying that “History repeats itself;” but as this present A Senior Class leaves the portals of its Alma Mater, its history will be repeated only in the minds of its members as, in later years, they sit in pleasant reminiscence of the many happy days that marked a four-year struggle for the most prized of all possessions—a college education and a college diploma. The time is recalled when, in September of 1920, several hundred young men and boys matriculated at the A. and M. College of Texas. That year the Freshman Class, green—as all freshman classes are— was disturbed in its peaceful career on the High Seas of Education by a committee from the senate which came to investigate the hazing situa¬ tion. It is unnecessary to recall that in all its details—only to say that the Class responded loyally and protected the name of A. and M. Loyalty to and love by a Class for its College cannot and should not be forgotten. In-our Sophomore Year our ranks were depleted by those who had failed or were unable to come back. We had reached that year in our college life like than which there is no other. I should say that there is nothing more detested by other classes than a Sophomore; nor one who is more egotistical. The greatest event of the year was the Junior Banquet. We did not capture the toastmaster, but the thrilling events through which we passed were a major partial payment. Then came our Junior Year, and in that came the thought—only one more! Half-way through! A pleasant feeling it was, and yet one to tighten the heart-strings, for a love of A. and M. had been deeply planted in our hearts. The year passed quietly. Then came the Junior Banquet—that year our own. The toastmaster came through free, and on the night of April 18th, 1923, Junior Toastmaster T. A. McCarter introduced the beginning of a banquet which will never be forgotten by any member of the Class of 1924. Then the last of four happy years came. Seniors! How indefinable the sensation at the mere mention of the word, how full of meaning, how full of promise! Years seem so short when measured in events which have transpired and of which only the part is remembered. The graduating Class of 1924 leaves behind it a history replete with acts of loyalty, and tales of adherence to the College authorities. It takes with it a lasting love of its revered College President, William Bennett Bizzell; an admiration of Ike Ashburn, ex-commandant; and a respect for Colonel C. C. Todd, succeeding commandant. It has given from its members many athletes who have greatly helped to sustain the Page Iiq good athletic record of the College. It has been a Class which has held and maintained a good scholastic record. And now that Class departs! The parting will be sad! Tears will be shed! It shall leave, but it shall never forget! And in those lonely nights, when the storming elements battle with and destroy man-made works, there shall come no cloud to cast a shadow on, there shall come no thunder crash to terrorize, nor lightning’s flash to rend in twain that memory of and love for A. and M. which shall forever dwell with us wherever we may go, whatever lands may call, far or near, in quiet rural district or in teeming city. A. and M.! At thy call we answer! A. andM.! Wego, butwedo not forget! A. and M.! We depart from thy pleasant scenes, but we shall love them forever. It r it President Vice-President .

As we look back to the time when we were Freshmen, we re¬ member those days as days which afforded us much pleasure, despite the fact that we were considered as underlings. Although, how few of us at that time considered them other than days of torture? Then came an all-important year. We were Sophomores, with corporal stripes and the many dignities that marked our gradua¬ tion from servants. But the event of the year was the Junior Banquet! Many were the brilliant detectives, “Hawk-shaws,” and sleuths developed from our ranks, but despite the fact that we were “sack-holders,” we can truthfully say that we gave the Juniors a good fight. Under the leadership of our class president, Steve Noble, we worked together with perfect unison. It was a means of drawing the class closer together, and making us better acquainted. And now we are eagerly awaiting for the permission to begin plans to out-wit the Sophomores and pass on the coveted privilege of being the “sack-holders.” As Juniors, we have all settled down to our studies, determined to get the most out of our next two years of college. As officers of the class we elected A. W. Huff, President; F. M. Stubbs, Vice- President; C. T. Schwab, Secretary-Treasurer; and C. H. Valentine, Historian. In athletics our class has always taken a leading part, furnishing as many letter and squad men in the different sports as any class. One more year lies before us, and the thought that we have come this close to the goal spurs us onward to a still stronger effort. Let us hope that by the end of the next year we will be prepared to go out in life and hustle for ourselves, and be a credit to old A. and M. 7 Pane 141 Second Year Two-Year Class. History of the Second Tear Two-Tear Qlass OEPTEMBER, 1922, was a very eventful month in our lives, O because it was then that we first made our acquaintance with old A. and M. I suppose we were no different from the preceding Fish, but, as everything was new, we felt that we were freshmen out of the ordinary and of a superior type. This feeling of great¬ ness, however, soon vanished and it left us just “slimy” Fish. Yes, we were fish from September until June, and of this fact we are justly proud. It was during the spring months that we received our greatest amount of excitement. There were many and varied reports of the approach of the Junior Banquet, and a mysterious air developed to an alarming extent on the campus. The night of the banquet old Jup Pluvius found us, even though the Sophomores could not, and there was a wild scramble for shelter under hastily erected “Pup” tents, etc. The next morning everything-was serene and calm. When September came again, and we joyfully returned to the Aggieland that we had learned to love, we soon learned that our ranks had been thinned from one cause or another. As disappoint¬ ing as this was, we could not long be concerned about it, except that we were upperclassmen—Sophomores, to be specific. We had a large class of fish to bring up. We had to attempt to thwart the plans of the Juniors for a banquet, and incidentally we began to realize that we had left home in search of an education. Our tasks we performed well and everything went splendidly until a cloud in the form of a hazing investigation loomed in the distance. It all seemed to be caused by the Sophomores, and after much talk, such things as fishkillers were burned. It must be remembered that although we are an organized class, we also participate in the enterprises of the Sophomore class. This act will be demonstrated to the fullest extent when the Junior Banquet of this year is held. We shall lend a helping hand— whether it be to share honors or to hold the sack. We regret that we must leave A. and M. with only two years work. We must, however, go out into the world of life, and we shall endeavor to bring credit to our Alma Mater. We may journey to the ends of the world, but we shall always feel grateful to dear old Aggieland. IP i III graduate Students E. R. Alexander, Agricultural Education.........

However, our cordial friend, Mr. Sophomore, who greeted us speedily and with warmth, made us acquainted with himself and, incidentally, with the fact that the one thing we lacked was importance, also that we were the greenest collection of aquatic animals that ever finned our way up the walk. Under the able leadership of “Prexy” Kyle, the class proved to be one of the most progressive of classes. We managed, somehow, to struggle through the long months with our small vexations, realizing, of course, that our affairs were as nothing compared to those of the upperclassmen, whose minds were filled with weighty matters such as only men of pre-eminence and dignity could comprehend. September again rollecUaround, and again did the class of ’26 assemble at Aggieland, but—mark this difference—not as the insignificant and humble “Fish.” ‘Twas as proud and mighty sophomores. What a grand and glorious feeling it was to get back. The class was well represented this year in athletics. The following men made letters in football: “Fatty” Dansby, “Unk” Pinson, “Fish Puny” Wilson, and “Bones” Irwin. The following men were chosen for officers for this year: W. F. Munnerlyn, President; J. G. Ross, Vice-President; J. L. Wilson, Secretary, and J. T. Gilbert, Historian. SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL Ammons, G. M. Blair, R. M. Anderson, J. R. Blumberg, A. A. Ando, K.

Thanks to the upper¬ classmen, the freshmen were properly trained. Sometimes the idea was impressed on us rather forcibly, but the idea was to make good fish, because a good fish makes a good Aggie. College Nite, “Bull pens,” cushless days, the fish party at the A. H. Pavilion, shirt-tail parades on the Military Walk, fish fights, and Junior Banquet will always be re¬ membered as the memorable events of our fish year. Shortly after the Thanksgiving Holidays the fish class was organized. Fish A. J. Farmer, of Forney, was elected President; Fish H. D. Mc- Conaughey, of Houston, was elected Vice-President; Fish H. A. Smith, of Roscoe, was elected Secretary-Treasurer, and Fish A. C. Goebel, of Dallas, was elected Historian. Although the class had met before it was organized, the first formal meeting was held in Guion Hall January 15. At this meeting arrange¬ ments were made to present the yell leaders with sweaters, and a representative was elected to serve on the Student Council. The plans were readily made for buying the sweaters, but the election of the representative necessitated much discussion and some oratory. Fish J. W. Kennedy was elected to the pcsition. The class was well represented in athletics. Thirteen men made numerals. These were: M. H. Askey, E. E. Marshall, G. L. Hart, H. A. Smith, J. C. Stevens, Frank Hightower, W. C. Bethea, M. W. Dansby, L. H. Ridout, W. L. Lee, L. L. Pistole, E. H. Lyons, and W. G. Ford. In addition, the class as a whole was, and always will be, doing its part, especially when it comes to supporting the team. After nine months of life at A. and M., the freshmen have grown to be a part of Aggieland. It would not be Aggieland without them. They are now solidly settled, endeavoring to raise the ideals of A. M., working to prepare themselves for the battle of life, and making friends who will be with them for the rest of their days. Page 150 ■m§ yw Abney, Z. Adams, H. VV. Adkerson, J. R. Akin, L. C.

For about two days before the camp was to be kj formally opened on the 14th day of June, the Aggie doughboys, along with others, begun to pour into the Alamo city. By retreat Thursday, June 15th, we had all passed the physical exams, taken the oath of office and donned the O. D. shirts—the last gripingly. Sgt. Duke’s whistle sounded Friday morning and about 100 Aggies and a score of rookies from other schools slowly and carelessly made ready for the first reveille. It was at this stage that our first need for salt and pepper arose, because we surely got it “eaten out.” Soon we learned to H-U-R-R-Y I-T U-P and after this first reveille we seldom wore a “livery stable crush” in our hats. At 7 o’clock sharp we began our first drill, and trodding over Bexar County hills and beneath the heat of the terrific San Antonio sun we drilled! By noon¬ time we had derived many appropriate phrases and an uncomplimentary cog¬ nomen or two which we h ' urled frequently at military life. That night the San Antonio Club entertained with a dance at the Alamo Country Club. After that “griping” became our daily pastime and the Gunter roof our regular Saturday night rendezvous. Several dances at the Post Pavillion, including one given by the San Antonio Ex-students Association, comprised our social functions. Of course, the bridge games in the basin of Camp Bullis must be mentioned, although there was little time for such diversions since it was “ready, aim, fire” all day long. But the camp was not all a gripe affair; for in the end it was evident that much had been accomplished in tactics, in range records, in athletics and in discipline. Maj. Gen. Lewis, Brig. Gen. Malone, Col. Todd and Major Morriss all voiced the opinion that it was the most successful of all R. O. T. C. camps. And when the proficiency medals were awarded—well, the Texas Aggies just couldn’t loose. Good-bye, San Antonio, we’ll see you again some day. Page 201 ■V. ■ pi Field Artillery Summer Qamp FTER spending one short week at home, we, the members of the Artillery ± _ Unit of the R. 0. T. C., journeyed to “cool Santone” to enjoy (?) six weeks of military training. Arriving on June 14, we were met by a reception committee of critical regulars, who immediately carried us to a place where we stripped to the waist and said “Ah.” On the following day, arrayed in our “Fishly Attire,” we were marched to the Post Assembly Hall where Brig. Gen. Malone, the camp commander, briefly explained the purposes of the camp and assured us that “all has been done that could be done to make your short six weeks here as pleasant as possible.” Our technical instruction was begun the next morning, and under the able supervision of Captain Goughian and his assistants, we spent our time in gun drill, pistol work and equitation. Many other in teresting things happened: There were many dances; the privileges of the swimmin’ pool were ours; a “sot club” was formed; and “Ye olde wassail” became famous. “Silo” Reagan helped make an umbrella famous; firecrackers were fired for Captain Craig; the Signal Corps was kept “well irrigated” and the Medical Corps w r as educated in “table etiquette.” So with these interesting things and a few others as K. P. duty, parades, retreat, policing the area, and “campus” we were not idle. When the July 4 salute had been fired at San Pedro Park, and when 29 out of 35 men had qualified as “Expert Gunners” we were ready for the trip to Camp Stanley. The drive to Stanley was made with F Battery of the 12th F. A., and ’twas out there that we spent the best days of the entire camp. Captain Coughlan and his associates made our life most agreeable. The real work-firing of live ammunition, hiking and study of problems, in short, actually entering into Artillery work, was fascinat¬ ing beyond measure, and those days passed all too quickly. Gen. Malone inspected our work, and on July 18 we participated, in conjunction with the other R. O. T. C. Units, in the exhibition battle at Camp Bullis. And on July 25, after a last truck ride, a last parade, and a last Home.” ‘Pay Day,” we broke camp for “Home, Sweet T 0. T. Q Qavalry Qamp HE Cavalry Summer Camp Headquarters was located in Ft. Sam Houston, where the hard-riding troopers were in evidence for six “hot” weeks. Two weeks were spent at Camp Bullis, a deserted and barren waste among the hills, some twenty miles from San Antonio, where the pistol, rifle and machine gun courses were fired. Although the water was chlorinated and the daily routine of grooming the horses, saddle-soaping the equipment, sleeping in sand- sprinkled cots, and eating from mess kits, became a bit monotonous, still this was the most pleasant portion of the summer camp. At Fort Sam Houston, under the personal supervision of Generals Lewis and Malone, a real taste of the army life, from an enlisted man’s point of view, was enjoyed (?). For the benefit of those who go to summer camp hereafter we hope for their preservation that generals will be conspicuous by their absences. Voluntary athletics were offered, such as baseball. Compulsory formations were held each afternoon for the purpose of spending one hour on the efficiency test field, which consisted of bar vaults, high and broad jump and dashes. Each student was required at the end of camp to make a trial in each event to go down on record. The averages were compared with those from other camps. Numerous dances were held at the Post and one was given by the San Antonio A. and M. Club at the Alamo Country Club. The nights enjoyed in San Antonio were far more agreeable than camp life. Captains Davis and Fitzgerald, who acted in the capacity of instructors, did all in their power to make the camp an enjoyable vacation. Page 203 ■ a§ Signal Qorps Summer Qamp VN THE fourteenth of last June there began to gather in San Antonio various gentlemen of the Texas A. and M. College, of all descriptions and from all points. The next day they were corralled by worried officers of Fort Sam Houston, who placed the first bonds of military training upon them. The streets were patrolled in trucks and all suspicious specimens of “genus homo” (in lieu of genus canine) were started off to the train¬ ing camp receiving barn where we were pronounced sound—below the neck. After a week had clasped and all of us had almost collapsed, the camp was formally opened, and the General broke down and admitted we were in training to become instructors of the royal realm. The great formal opening was followed by days of complacent griping which continued until the great Battleaxe con¬ vention called by some the R. O. T. C. dance. This was followed by another event of less moment. We were allowed to wear civilian clothes to town, which was welcome news, for we wanted to abide by the regulations. At last came the maneuvers. We laid twisted pair (wire) all over the country and chased mythical armies up and down the highways and byways. On the day of the great sham battle at Camp Bullis, our fellow hero, T. S. Taber, brought honor to the Signal Corps when he leaped the parapet and charged into No-Mans-Land with a board in one hand and a mes¬ sage center register in the other. The last day came, we drew our pay and paid our debts. We had spent a profitable six weeks and all our money. It had been an epi¬ sode in our lives we shall all remember. Probably at no other time shall the same group of friends be together. To the officers who had charge of the camp we owe our sincere thanks, and if the time shall ever come when we shall serve in the army let us hope that we will be a credit and not a discredit to the ideal type of American officers who we were so fortunate to have as our instructors. Page 204 y o-Air Service 0. T. Q. Qamb TT IS an old saying that “Anticipation is always better than realization,’’ X but for once it can be said that this was not the case. The eighteen Air Service Cadets who attended this camp had been looking forward to it since their Freshman year, and when the camp was over all hopes and expectations had been more than fulfilled. The Camp was held at Brooks Field, San Antonio, Texas. At this time of the year many of the officers stationed at Brooks Field were on leave and the Cadets were extended the use of the Officers’ Club by officers on duty at the time. Here we had our meals and spent many pleasant hours reading, playing games, etc. Our barracks were clean, roomy and actually so cool that we had to sleep under a blanket in the months of June and July. We slept so soundly that it seemed only a few minutes from the time we went to bed until reveille, and maybe it was sometimes. Our work in the air consisted of reconnaissance, map sketching, radio, photog¬ raphy, bombing, navigation, and artillery reglage. The ground work was trap shooting, artillery reglage on Kelly Field miniature range, machine gun, and pistol firing, assembly of airplane engines, rigging of ships, going to town and signing Uncle Sam’s pay roll. Mornings were mostly devoted to flying and afternoons up to three o’clock to lectures. Three until four each afternoon was given over to such exercises as we chose, such as tennis and swimming. Taking the camp as a whole, it was a great success, and we left with only one regret—that the camp was over. Our time was well spent and we left with the feeling that we were better citizens for the knowledge gained. This time it was just play, but there may come a time when there will be shell-bursts on the ground instead of harmless smoke-puffs; and so it is well that a citizen avail himself of the opportu nity to learn the first lesson in citizenship—the defense of his country. Page 205 Q £. Summer Practice T HE 1923 civil engineering summer practice started on August 31. Silo JL Reagan came down a day early so as to be three meals ahead on the annual mealhound race. This tremendous lead discouraged even the most confirmed meal-hounds among us, so interest soon turned to whisker-growing contests and tobacco chewing tourneys. Joe Kaufman won first prize in the former sport. After several hard won encounters, Dick Wilson pronounced himself champion in the art of masticating the weed. Jupiter Pluvius favored us with his presence almost the entire duration of the camp. No day was conside red complete unless everyone got soaking wet. “I never miss the Sunshine, I’m so used to the rain,” became the most popular song at that time; “Fat Hog” Montgomery and his “Castor Oil Quartet” sang it on all occasions. Then came the school-teachers. They came from every town that we had ever heard of and so of course Charlie Webb and his “boomer” hat were much in evidence. “Satch” Parkhill also figured prominently with the “school marms.” During the course of the camp the custom of carrying the bone was inaugu¬ rated. He who “pulled a bone” had the honor of bearing this emblem for a day. “Jit” Mullican vanquished all contenders for champion bone-puller and is still living up to his reputation, despite many attempts on the part of his classmates to wrest this title from him. A never-to-be-forgotten summer practice, and one from which we acquired many of the rudiments of civil engineering.

The coach of the society is Dr. George Summey, Jr., head of the Department of English. In spite of competing organizations and attractions, the society has done serious work this year. At the weekly meetings current questions have been argued in spirited fashion. The Debating Society has arranged a debate for April with the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College on the proposi¬ tion that the United States should join the League of Nations, the Texas Aggies speaking for the negative. Win or lose, the society is confident that its year’s work will be profitable to the members and will help build up a debating tradi¬ tion on the campus. Officers of the Society E. A. Davis ........

International live Stock Judging Team UR international team, composed of J. V. Drisdale, H. K. Fawcett, C. E. Hudson, R. F. McSwain, W. T. Skains and S. Whitsett, together with coach W. L. Stangel, left for Chicago on November 20, 1923. No team representing this institution received more unanimous support from the student body and faculty than the team of 1923. Due to a time limit set by the faculty it was impossible for the team to enter the contest held at Kansas City as they have done in previous years. Since it was impossible to go by Kansas City, it was neces¬ sary to make out an entirely new itinerary calling for a southern route. The first stop was made at Grand Junction, Tenn., where Aberdeen Angus Cattle were judged on the Ames plantation. The next stops were made at the leading stock farms through the states of Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. The last two days of the training trip were spent at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Out of the 19 teams competing in the international contest at Chicago on December 1st “Our Team” placed fifth and Kansas first. R. F. McSwain of the Texas team placed second out of 95 men com¬ peting; other members of the team did very creditable work, which accounted for the exceptionally high standing of the team. The battle for the Bronze Bull is still between Texas and Perdue, and since the team of 1923 failed to bring it to College Station, we feel that the team of 1924 will bring it to A. and M., where it rightfully belongs. Page 20Q 14 V (ational TV)airy Qattle Judging Team ' ' T HE 1923 National Dairy Show was held at Syracuse, N. Y., and for the X second time in her history A. and M. was represented with a team. The members of the team were: W. H. Cottingame, F. H. Downs, Jr., Conger Poage, and L. D. Steffens. Professor Darnell coached the team again this year and much credit is due him for its splendid successes. After several weeks of training in judging at College, the team left on Sept. 22 for Syracuse. Memphis, Tenn., was the first stop and the team entered the Southern Dairy Cattle Judging contest, which was fostered by the Memphis Tii-State Fair. It emerged as Southern Champions, being high point team of the six entered, and champion of the Holstein and Guernsey breeds. Steffens was high point man of the contest, while Poage took top honors in Guernseys. The other members showed up well. Lejt to right —W. K. Cottingame, Prof. Darnell, L. D. Steffens, F. H. Downs, Jr., Conger Poage The itinery after leaving Memphis was as follows: Mr. Tway’s Jersey farm at Louisville, Ky.; Mrs. Hennings Allan Dale Jersey farm at Shelbyville, Ky.; Kentucky V. Coldstream herds at Lexington; Ohio State U. and Hartman farm at Columbus, O.; Cleveland, Hiram, 0.; and then Syracuse, N. Y. We had several days’ rest before the contest, and then on the 5th came the hardest day’s work of our young lives. Twenty-nine teams were entered, and although we did not carry off top honors, we finished well near the “cream line.” However, to one of the team, Downs, came the honor of being the Champion Judge of Jersey Cattle, for which he was given a scholarship entitling him to a year’s work towards a master’s degree in any school he might choose. We are indeed glad that the team has brought some honors to Aggieland. Page 2io The Junior Stock-Judging Team TUST after the International team returns from Chicago each year, coach W. L. Stangel turns his attention toward the Junior Animal Husbandry students to develop a Junior Stock-Judging Team. Coach Stangel spent six weeks training these men to defeat Oklahoma A. and M. at the spring show at Fort Worth, and thereby bring back the highly prized trophy, the Swift loving cup. When the thorough training was over, he picked the six highest men to compose the team, namely: F. Stubbs, K. Maturn, O. H. Kimball, F. I. Dahl- berg, B. C. Hopkins, and V. Kennedy. It was this team that went into the show ring at Fort Worth at 9 a. m. on March 10, determined to defeat the Oklahoma team. At the end of a strenuous day’s work, both teams, feeling that they had won, awaited the results. The contest was the closest that had ever been staged at Fort Worth, the Oklahoma team finally winning by fifteen points. The judge made the state¬ ment that both teams were one hundred points better than either of the teams last year. Maturn was high man for the Texas team and ranked fourth in the contest. Dahlberg tied with Maturn for fourth place. Maturn was high man in hogs and second in cattle. Stubbs was second in horses. Reasons were given in the Westbrook Hotel and the contest was not settled until the last man had given his reasons. The team was one of the best that has ever entered the show and has much promising material for the Senior team next year. Much of the credit is due to the coach, Mr. Stangel. who worked with the boys and made them expert judges. This is the group that will bring back the bronze bull next year. Page 211 Y. M. C. A.—ITS WORK AND ORGANIZATION. W. H. Mathews . OFFICIALS General Secretary S. H. Hickman Bookkeeper D. D. Steele Assistant Secretary L. G. Jones Assistant Secretary J. R. McKee Assistant Secretary T? ACH year the “Y” fills a larger place in the life of A. and M. College. In L 1 j fact few realize just how much service is being rendered by this organiza¬ tion. The “Y” working force consists of five secretaries and twenty-five select students. These men are genuinely interested in the financial, social, recre¬ ational, moral and religious welfare of every student, and they freely give of their time and energy in unselfish service. Because of limited space it is not possible to give a detailed statement of the many lines of “Y” work, but mention should be made of the improved Picture Show Service, the high class Lyceum course, the efficient student labor depart¬ ment, Boy Scout work and the various Religious Activities. The “Y” building itself is an indispensible institution. The Chapel and Parlors are used for hun¬ dreds of meetings of all kinds, and the guest rooms have taken care of more than two thousand people during the present session. The basement with its Barber Shop, Confectionery, Billard Tables and Swimming Pool is at all times a popular resort. When you need a friend write to or call on the “Y” and you will find them always ready to respond. Their motto is: “Let us help you.” Pa§e 212 213 Page Top row—Left to right — J. B. Strewe, R. L.

Preston The Tresbyterian Cjroup This year the Presbyterian group has 330 members, of which 300 are students and the remainder campus people. At the beginning of the year we were fortunate in securing Rev. D. C. Butler to fill the vacancy created when Rev. W. H. Matthews, our former pastor, was appointed Y. M. C. A. Secretary. Mr. Butler graduated at Austin College, took his post-graduate work at Princeton, and traveled extensively in Europe. He is a native Texan and spent many of his earlier days on the West Texas ranches. Accordingly we feel that he is particu¬ larly equipped to understand us and be our leader and friend. Since its organization the group has made great progress. We have been holding our services in the Y. M. C. A. Chapel, but we now have information that the synod of Texas is raising for us $40,000 with which to build and equip a church building. The students and campus people have donated funds for securing the location and we will soon have the plant under way. Our Sunday School has been meeting with the Union Sunday School in Onion Hall. We have had a Christian Endeavor this year and this organization meets before Church service. Page 214 -a w Left to right: Top row — R. C. Miller, R. K. Matchett, F. H.

The building is not yet fully paid for, but with the assist¬ ance of the parents and friends of the students it is expected that not only will this debt soon be paid, but also that the group will be enabled to build a real church and a home for their pastor. Page 216 Association of Former Students N OFFENSIVE and defensive agency for the Agricultural and f _ Mechanical College of Texas is the most apt characterization of the Association of Former Students of the College. With its reorganization w orked out at commencement, 1923, and the election of Marion S. Church, ’05, attorney of Dallas, as President, the Association assumed an ambitious program. One of the chief objectives assumed by the Association is the creation of an adequate loan fund. This feature of the association was realized at the beginning of the second term this year when loans were made to more than fifty students. Assisting President W. B. Bizzell in his appeal for appropriations for the College, the Association plans to acquaint the Legislature with the needs of the institution. Securing new positions for former students is a phase of Association effort. The publication of the Texas Aggie is another part of the program. The Association is being financed over a period of five years. In March more than $60,000 had been subscribed over the five-year period by only 600 former students. The officers of the Association are Marion S. Church, Dallas, Presi¬ dent; C. C. Krueger, San Antonio, First Vice-President; Thomas W. Blake, Houston, Second Vice-President; A. C. Love, Beaumont, Third Vice-President. In addition to these officers, L. L. Ballard of Waco, J. L. Lockridge, Wichita Falls, and M. J. Miller, Fort Worth, constitute the Executive Committee. Col. Ike Ashburn, until January first commandant of the College, is the Executive Secretary. Cjreat ‘Day in c l}alias ND it came to pass: That on the twelfth night of October, one thousand Texas Aggies, trailing the gridiron warriors, who had departed at noon, boarded two trains, and trusted their destiny in the hands of the locomotives which were to draw the coaches from Aggieland northward to Dallas—the metropolis of the South. By daylight the cadets from A. and M. were wandering and roaming through the streets of Dallas—up Elam and down Main, as a resi¬ dent might say. However, outside of seeing an occasional cadet on the streets, one would not have known that the Aggies were even there—until the court¬ house clock struck eleven bells. At this hour the thousand Aggies who had been instructed to remain quiet during the morning, were assembled at the call of the bugle in front of the Jeffer¬ son Hotel, and action was started. All Dallas was startled by the strains of “Wildcat” and the “Texas Aggie March,” which burst forth from the spirited collection of trumpets and drums—the one and only Aggie band. The parade ended in front of the Oriental, and after the throngs of specta¬ tors had been dazed by the impres sive yelling of only one-half the cadet corps, the gang broke up. After that few persons on the streets did not know there was an A. and M. College, and that a lot of it had come to Dallas. Then came time for the game. The game—you’ve heard enough and read enough to know that on that day ours was the real Texas Aggie team. And that night all of us enjoyed the dance in the Oriental Hotel. The rain was falling outside, but this hindered matters none, for the Aggies were sheltered under the palatial roof of the Oriental, and were co-ordinating with the rhythmical cadence supplied by Jimmie Allen’s serenaders. That night when the final trains departed, all were willing to return enthusi¬ astically to our work, for we had had a good time. We had beaten Sewanee—and we had strutted our A. and M. stuff. Page 218 Another Big T)ay in JVaco T A HANKS a thousand times to the clouded sky which brought forth the X order that no “arms” would be carried in Waco. And we are firm in our belief that the spectators did not miss our rifles, for the applause seemed moie voluminous than ever before. As we proceeded down Austin Avenue and passed the reviewing stand, the heartiness of the reception increased, and by the time that we had reached the Cotton Palace grounds, and were dismissed into the waiting “arms” of Waco, we were not reluctant at all to disregard the order of the morning. We were admitted free to the Cotton Palace and to the game, and each man was given two meal tickets to feast on during the day. There was not much action before the calisthenics drill, the prelude to the Aggie-Bear football fray, but every cadet was imbued with the enthusiasm which was manifested by the whooping and yelling, and by such things as the signs, “Aggie Spirit Never Dies,” which were draped over the trains taking us to Waco. And every man of us looked forward to the afternoon classic with an opta¬ tive eye, and procrastinated the fulfillment of our mirthful anticipation until after we had thrilled the grandstand with the calisthenics drill, and with our yelling and after the Aggies had fought the Bears desperately. Then the gaiety activities commenced. The “arms” became more conspicuous; for everyone was “arm in arm” with someone else. A dance was given at the coliseum that night honoring the A. and M. K-dets. And it was “A Dance.” We were loath to cease the Terpsichorean activities when the bugler called us in. Farewell, Waco! We like you! Loud may the bell ring that knells out a joyful call for a Texas Aggie to come to Waco—“The City with a Soul.” Page 2iQ T he Junior banquet of the Qlass of ' 24 ? I HE most thrilling event of the class of 1924 was that of the Junior X Banquet, on the 19th of April, 1923. The real beginning of these activities was on the 24th of January, when “Cootie” Roberts, Presi¬ dent of the Junior Class, named the junior Banquet committee, which consisted of D. O. Marshall, D. G. Standlee, and C. W. Moore; the above three were also assisted by T. R. Stephens, Vice-President of the Class. The committee wasted no time in getting together to start on their work, and with the assistance of H. L. Roberts and T. R. Stephens, they decided that the most logical man for the Toastmaster of the Junior Class was Thomas Alexander McCar¬ ter of Galveston, Texas. The next thing to be con¬ sidered was selecting the program, arranging the date, and the most im¬ portant of all, to arrange a way to get the said Toast¬ master off of the campus, and have a .safe place for him to stay during the period. The above arrange¬ ments were made in Bryan on the night of Feb. 11, over the Dixie Theatre. It was this night that we were all just a little excited as there were several Sopho¬ mores in Bryan. Everything went along nicely until three days be¬ fore the beginning of the 10- day period, when wild tales circulated on the campus caused no end of trouble to the committee. At this stage of the game things were a bit uncomfortable, but at last the evening came. Steve Noble and his assistants escorted many of the Juniors away from the campus by way of automobiles to the Brazos bottom, but the plan for the escape of the toastmaster worked, and soon he was miles away from the campus in safe-keeping. Then came the night of the banquet, with all Juniors rejoicing over its outcome. The Juniors held by the Sophomores were set free, and at 8 o’clock all gathered at the banquet, the scene of which had been tastefully decorated by Mr. Duncan. McCarter was introduced by “Prexy” Roberts, and the banquet was under way. “Mac” handled the banquet like an “old timer,” and his flow was endless. “Prexy,” “Ike,” and Dean Kyle made short talks, and the speeches of the evening, “That Old Aggie Fight” by Louie Miller and “El Presente El Future” by Bob Sherman, were given. Under the direction of “Monty” Mont¬ gomery and “Cy” Edwards we gave “Fifteen for the Juniors” and called it a night. Page 220 c c. t- «- • c c Page 222 Page 223 The Junior uc Baf ' TT IS the custom for the last few editions of the Battalion each year to be X edited by the different classes. In order to promote competition between the classes in getting out a good paper, the plan of giving a full page in the Longhorn to the winning number has been adopted. A competent disinterested committee chooses from the three class editions—Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior—the best class paper for that year. Last year this was won by the Junior class and that is why we have this page this year. The following named men held responsible positions on the Junior Bat Staff and to them goes the major portion of the credit for winning the coveted honor of having the best Class Bat: V. C. Dabney, Editor-in-Chief; E. C. Gunter, Managing Editor; Sam Pinson, Business Manager; H. M. Tatum and Zay Smith, Art Editors. The 30-page edition of the Bat put out by these men was truly a master¬ piece of literary accomplishment from t he beginning to the end. On the front cover was a beautiful, elaborate cover design for which we are indebted to our classmate, H. M. Tatum. All through the paper were accounts of the brilliant maneuvers of the Juniors during the junior Banquet and also of the sack-holders’ reunion which was held at the same time. These were written with as much modesty as you could expect of a Junior, but at the same time it could not be expected that a sophomore would read them for pastime. The editorials in the Bat were a feature in themselves. They presented evidence of deep thought and careful preparation. The jokes and cartoons were of the very highest class; in not a single instance did the editors allow an in¬ appropriate joke or cartoon to get into the paper. When all is considered, our Bat WAS the best class edition and we are proud of it—proud of the class and of the Bat, too. The Junior Bat Staff put out an ideal class edition and we thank them for doing it. To them goes the honor of publishing the best class edition of the best school paper in the South.

However, the little end of a score always renders an Aggie atmosphere doleful, regardless of how sportsmanlike Texas Aggies take defeat. What better consolation could be wished for, though, then the week-end of mirth and merriment that followed the Thanksgiving game, which, incidentally wore the gloom away from many saddened hearts? The gleeful functions commenced at the Elks Club in Bryan on Thursday evening after the game. The old Aggieland was pla ing, and such jazz as they offered for consumption by the feet that “couldn’t keep still” is seldom listened to by dancers. By midnight the score on Kyle Field had been forgotten; only the gratifying thoughts that the Aggies gave all they had remained. From mid¬ night till two o’clock the shuffle continued, and by the end of the dance, the fairest of the fair visitors learned that “time shore hies” around College Station— and, consequently, that they had better take every advantage that should afford itself during their short stay. Having learned that “procrastination steals good time,” the Aggiettes started Friday morning on a real inspection of the land of their hosts. By the time Jimmy Allen’s Serenaders began to render the grand march processional Friday, the belles of the Lone Star State had been introduced to the celebrated Sbisa Hall and were ready to participate in the paying of a traditional tribute to the Aggie football warriors. Beneath the decorative maroon and white streamers, Captain W. D. Johnson of All-American fame, and Miss Katherine Johnson of Houston—no brother or sister, no kin, just “Johnson”—led the processional, which terminated under the Longhorn goal where the couples broke and commenced the terpsichorean festivity. Such beautiful girls! And so beautifully clothed! As Terpsichore viewed the gowns from her throne, the goddess of the dance became envious of her sub¬ jects who, so merrily, were moving at her command. But her envy was all in vain; for it availed no decline in the divinity of the maids who sped across the mess-hall floor to the cadence of the jazzy rhythm. The band “Fish” intruded at the midnight hour with their shirt-tail parade and a few yells which affirmed the maxim, “Aggie spirit never dies.” Shortly after this the merry-makers dispersed to various residences for their midnight lunches and soon returned more anxious than ever to “go on with the dance.” Two-thirty came like the New England curfew, it seemed that the grand march should not have been over, but the time had come; Sbisa shut his doors.

Hop TN a place such as A. and M., and located as it is, away from any center of A things, there is needed something to promote the social side of college life as well as the intellectual. With this in view, several years ago a group of stu¬ dents founded what is known as the Ross Volunteers, an honor military organi¬ zation, and named in honor of Governor Lawrence Sullivan Ross, one time Governor of Texas and one of the first presidents of the A. and M. College. Its personnel included men from both the Junior and Senior classes, who were con¬ sidered the most military and scholarly students of the college. During the last few years there have been a few changes made in the Ross Volunteer By-laws, so that now the primary object is to have a strictly military organization. One that will have on its roster the names of the most military men and one that will be second to none of any such company in the South. The exhibition drills each l year are a distinctive feature of the commencement exercises and the characteristics of the uniqueness, accuracy and perfection make them rival those of West Point. The dances, while they really come as a secondary consideration, are the best that are given this side of the Mason and Dixon line. There are three dances the Queen’s Ball, the R. V. Hop and a Corps Dance, given on three days set aside by the college and usually about the 21st of April. The elaborateness of the decoration, the choice of the music and the general spirit of the welcome make the festivities a looked-for occasion in the life of Aggieland. It is like a sparkling oasis to the desert-worn traveler. Every little detail is worked out to perfec¬ tion by a committee that is thoroughly familiar with each part of the work and no expense is spared to make the occasion a success. We do not believe that a well-rounded man is the one who spends all of his time engrossed in study. One must have the pleasures in life as well as the study, and the R. V. serves as a welcome repast to the hard grind of a college year. But it serves another purpose equally well, and that is an opportunity for those who have gone out into the world, from here, to come back and view again those happy scenes of college days. Old friends who have been separated are reunited and can review old times. Also it serves as a very appropriate time for those who have never seen the institution to see it in all of its glory. The effects of the R. V. festivities are manyfold and volumes could be written on them. So with this brief word of explanation of the purpose of the R. V. and what it has accomplished, we hope that those who read this will realize what it is. We are trying to do credit to the school and we think that we have. Page 261 ■ 1 y it The Barnyard “Dance The Barnyard Dance is an annual dance given at the end of the first term. This year it was held in the Mess Hall Annex, and the music was furnished by the Aggieland Eight. The hall was decorated with haystacks, bales of hay, woodpiles, hoes, cultivators, and other agricultural by-ways. The scene was one of varied cos¬ tumes; all bearing relation to the agricultural and rural district style. There were over a hundred couples present, all of which were loath to cease dancing when “Home, Sweet Home” announced the end. The “T” Qluh ‘Dance The “T” Dance is a dance given annually by the members of the “T” Club. Attendance is always by bid. • ' ___ The Hall was decorated with A. and M. pennants, “T” blankets, Southern Championship blankets. The band stand was raised from the floor and along the edges “T” blankets drooped to the floor and were held in place by pots of palms. The grand march was led by T. L. Miller of Coleman, president of the “T” Club, and Miss Kathleen Sims of Bryan. Nearly sixty couples followed in the march. The music was given by the Aggieland Eight in the Mess Hall Annex. The Qorps Dances The corps dances are given on the average of one every two weeks, and are under the direction of the Social Secretary, who is elected by the senior class, one man holding the ofifice for the entire year. The cor ps dances are for the purpose of breaking up the ever-prevalent routine life at the College, and to give the students a chance to come in contact with the people of the Campus and the people of Bryan. The corps dances are given on the order of a subscription dance, just enough being charged to pay the expenses of the music and the hall. The corps dances are always very successful, and are looked upon as an indispensable part of our college life.

Here is the man that has made possible the extension of our ath¬ letic equipment and the promise of a new gymnasium for 1924-25. Sully took charge of the finances in June, 1919, and found the Ath¬ letic Department $17,000 in debt. Since then he has paid off the debt, built $27,000 worth of football stands, a $7,500 baseball stand, Sully in His Working Togs Business Manager, James M. Sullivan spent $6,500 for other improvements and maintained an adequate supply of athletic material. This year he swept us off our feet by announcing a campaign to boost the build¬ ing of a $100,000 gymnasium and then calmly went about getting the money with¬ out asking donations. Next September when the fortunate ones return the new gym will be waiting and ready for use. Some B. M., is he not? There are few students who do not know Sully. He is everyone’s friend. Any¬ one can walk into the Athletic office and get him to grant a reasonable request, even though it may inconvenience him person¬ ally. Sully has touched human nature in many walks of life and he is a keen student of human wants. He has been a baseball umpire, an office secretary, and now he is a married man. He will be a fixture at A. and M. as long as he desires to stay, and we hope that when we return to see the Thanks¬ giving game in 1948 Sully will be standing at the gate. Page 330 ii cM i IS ss l 3 Louie Miller President The T Qluh of the P AT. fallege I HE T Club is composed of A men who have won the coveted T, the sacred emblem with which Texas A. and M. honors her athletes. Upon winning a T a man becomes a member of the T Club and re¬ mains a member for life. It is one of the greatest honors that an Aggie can enjoy, for the men who are mem¬ bers are the leaders of the student body. The T man ranks high with the student body. The cadets ap¬ preciate service on the athletic field and they are only too ready to reward the men who work for th em. Our school is built upon a spirit that cries out its love for athletics and to each of the T men is given the individual’s share of the esteem with which athletics are held. The man who heads an organization so select is usually one of marked ability. This year’s president was no exception to the general rule, for none other than Louie Miller, the Aggie hero who resigned his gootball captaincy when he found his physical condition pre¬ vented his playing this year, was chosen. A. M. Damon, track and basket¬ ball man, was selected to fill the office of Vice-President and W. D. Johnson, football captain, was made Secretary and Treasurer. The T Dance, an annual affair, came this year on the 21st of March, and was one of the prettiest dances of the year. Bull Johnson railroaded the hop and the Aggieland was there with the stuff.

A Farmer team must fight—it must carry the indomitable Aggie spirit into battle and it must strive to snatch victory as long as there is time left to play—but it need not necessarily win to earn a place in the hearts of the Aggies. When the Goddess of Fortune turns her back upon our Farmer Captain Bull Johnson The Fighting Leader of Fighting Farmers teams, and sometimes, like all capricious women, she does flouFthose she loves best, and our Fighting Farmers are defeated by a good team that took advantage of our mistakes and the breaks of the game, the khaki-clad cadets turn an un¬ daunted face to the world, and with the red blood of their fighting forefathers coursing through their veins, they inform said world that they are proud of the team that fought for them. To you, the Aggie team of ’23, we pay this tribute— you were the out-fightingest aggregation that ever wore an Aggie uniform. We are proud of the fight that you made in the face of the heart-breaking discourage¬ ments that would have broken the fighting spirit of any but an Aggie team. Page 338 That Stonewall Aggie Line EARLY SEASON GAMES The Aggies opened their season at home on September 22 with a decisive win over the Sam Houston Normal Institute. The Teachers were outclassed from start to finish and three Aggie teams had little trouble in rolling up a 53 to score. The game was slow and ragged as both teams had had little advanced work. Nealy and Clem Pinson starred for the Aggies. The Aggies’ next game was a grudge fight—and the only successful one of the season: The Howard Payne Yellowjackets paid for their victory of the year before when the Aggies trotted out on a field a week after the opening contest. The Farmers smashed over the line, circled the ends, and drove down the field with irresistible momentum, piling up 21 points before the game was over. Southwestern came on the next week—Southwestern, with their yellow jerseys, reminding the Fighting Farmers of the Texas Longhorns. The Pirates put up a game, gritty fight, but the Aggies had the drive that had characterized their first two games and they scored 13 points while keeping their own goal line uncrossed. At one time the Aggies were threatened seriously, but the stone¬ wall line rallied and the Pirate drive fell short of the goal. “Bull” Johnson scored the first Aggie touchdown when he scooped up a fumbled punt and sped the remaining ten yards untouched. Jack Evans caught a beautiful pass late in the last period for the other touchdown. Gill’s superb passing was the feature of the game and the whole Aggie team played with a smoothness that boded ill for the Sewanee Tigers who were to come next. Kicking Goal Against the Pirates Page 330 The Aggies Come on the Field THE SEWANEE GAME The Aggies met the Sewanee Tigers for the first time in many moons on the Fair Park Stadium in Dallas October 12. The Tigers came down with a highly touted aggregation and the Farmers won a memorable victory in their 14 to triumph. The Aggies displayed more drive and more team play in this game than they did in any other throughout the season, and for the cadets who were fortunate enough to witness the game the season reached its peak in this fray. Fay Wilson, Gill, Neely and Clem Pinson tore the Sewanee line to shreds in the early part of the game, while Bull Johnson, Jack Evans and Jim Forgason spilled every Tiger play. The Aggies marched down the field for the first score of the game early in the first session. The Tigers rallied then and threatened to score by the pass route before the Aggies could stiffen their defense. The Farmers weathered the storm, however, and from then on it was a question of how much the Aggies would score. Fay Wilson drove over another touchdown in the last period and the Aggies were carried off by the victory-loving crowd. THE L. S. U. GAME The L. S. U. game was played in Baton Rouge the week following the Sewanee game. The Aggies had little trouble in ringing up a 28 to victory. Page 340 A Sewanee Back Nails Gill from Behind S. M. U. HANDS OUT BITTER POTION Oh, how close we came to winning this game! The Mustang s copped it 10 to 0, but the breaks of the game went against the Aggies at every turn and the Ponies were extremely lucky to carry off the bacon. The Aggies started down the field with their characteristic drive, but the Ponies rallied on their twenty- yard line and the Aggies were forced to pass. Neely grabbed the oval from the air for what was apparently a touchdown, but the little half was deprived of his glory when the referee declared that he had caught it out of the end zone. (You can see a picture of it down at the bottom of the page if you don’t believe it). This setback seemed to kill the Aggie drive that had carried the ball through the Mustang line at the start, and although the Farmers gained at will in midfield they were never able to penetrate the Mustang defense when close to the goal. Along in the second quarter the Aggies were forced to punt from their ten- yard line and the Mustangs blocked the punt and scored a touchdown. Later they intercepted a pass and booted a field goal. Neely Almost Scored Page 341 Puny Over Tackle THE SCORELESS TIE IN WACO The Aggies met the Bears on the Cotton Palace gridiron, the scene of many battles between the two rivals. Heavy rains had so deluged the field that two inches of mud and water covered the battlefield and to this mud the Bears owe their tie. The Aggies were hampered by the heavy field while the Bears made little attempt to gain ground through the Aggies’ line. Coach Bridges seemed satisfied to play a defensive game throughout, saving his team for the Texas game the following Saturday, and the conditions were ideal for this style of game. Nearly 20,000 people witnessed the contest despite the muddy field and the intense cold that made the day particularly disagreeable. The thrills were few and far between. The first one came when Pittman, the Baylor full, made a return punt on the initial kick-off and a Baylor end nearly recovered for a touchdown. The Aggies held on their goal line and the Bears were never threatening after this. The Aggies carried the ball within scoring distance time and again but they lacked the final drive to put the oval over. Jim Forgason attempted three long field goals in the latter part of the game, but the ball was heavy with mud and the kicks fell short. Neely looked particularly good throughout the fray and Pittman’s kicking was superb. Bull Johnson played his usual flawles s game, but his mighty efforts were in vain. The Aggies journeyed back to Aggieland that night with mental reservations to cop the game in ’24. An Aggie Back Plows the Line Where the Subs Eat Out Their Hearts THE OWLS TRIM US By clever defensive work the Rice Owls “ball-hawked” the Aggies out of the battle in Houston by the slim margin of 7 to 6. It was the same old story—the Aggies could gain when the ground was not needed but were unable to penetrate the Owl defense when a gain meant a score. The Aggies fumbled badly in the first half, ' so badly that the Owls were able to score a touchdown by recovering three fumbled punts in succession. They also kicked goal for the point that eventually decided the game. In the second half the Aggies made a desperate effort to come back, and when Bull Johnson was sent into the game—he had been held out on account of his injured knee—they recovered enough drive to carry the ball down the field for a touchdown. An Owl forward sifted through, however, on the try for point and Hanna’s place-kick was blocked before he had an opportunity to get it off. Undismayed by this break, the Aggies again carried the ball down within striking distance, but upon finding that they did not have enough time to drive over a touchdown, elected to try a field goal. Hall, Rice end, broke up the kick afid ran eighty yards before he was overtaken from behind. The game was over before the Aggies could start the march down the field again. Bill Pinson and Bones Irvin played an exceptionally good game and Captain Johnson was an inspiration to his men. Bones Goes After a Fumble Page 343 Stacked Up in the Mad TEXAS WINS ON KYLE FIELD As usual, the Aggies went into the annual Thanksgiving battle the under dogs. The Texas Longhorns, under the able guidance of Coach Doc Stewart� had swept through the season without defeat. They had humbled the Vander¬ bilt Commodores and the Tulane Greenbacks in decisive fashion and were claim¬ ants to the title of Southern Champions. Old Aggies flocked in from far and wide to give our team the proper morale, and, if necessary, physical support. It was hoped that the old Kyle Field jinx would once more aid in downing the Long¬ horns, but the Orange team under Stewart paid little attention to tradition. They demonstrated that they had a team with the punch, and for the first time in history the Aggies went down in defeat before a Texas team on Kyle Field. Though the Longhorns outgained the Aggies, it was once more Lady Luck that really beat the Aggies, for had it not been for the sloppy field and a fumbled punt, the Longhorns would have gone home scoreless instead of holding the long end of a 6 to count. The game had hardly begun before it was over. After an exchange of punts, the Longhorns ripped through the Aggie line for two successive first downs and then punted. Little Clem Pinson fumbled the muddy ball and was knocked away when he attempted to recover it. The ball shot over the goal line and Lane Tynes, the Texas captain, was the only man near it. The Aggies blocked the try for point and came back battling for a score. The Longhorns evidently believed that the best defense was a good offense for they seldom gave the Aggies a chance to drive. Eckhardt and Marley, the Page 344 Crack Diving to Stop a Play The Aggies Hold on the One-Yard Line Longhorn aces, ploughed through the mud without apparent effort. Bull John¬ son, the aggressive Aggie leader, was carried off the field in the second quarter- The game captain was trying to play on an injured knee, but his indomitable will alone could not carry him through. With the Aggies’ leader out of the fray the Longhorns carried the ball to the one-yard line, and there, with four down to make the little distance lying between them and another score, they were held by the Aggies in one of the great¬ est defensive exhibitions of the year. Captain Johns on returned to the fray in the last period and by his presence bolstered his team into one last effort. The light Aggie backs plowed gamely into the huge Texas line in an effort to even the count, but the combination of muddy field and heavy line was too great for them to overcome and the final whistle found them still fighting for ground. The game was witnessed by a huge crowd and the usual color surrounded the contest. Rival bands blared, hostile throngs jeered and yelled, and amid the black mud and green grass struggled the Orange of Texas and the Maroon of A. and M. Oscar Eckhardt and Joe Ward of Texas shared the honors with Bull Johnson and Jack Evans of A. and M. for the greatest individual play of the day. Bull was everywhere, fighting and driving his men, and Jack covered every punt that Mule Wilson sent whistling down the field. Eckhardt played a smash¬ ing game, his broken field running in the mud ranking as one of the greatest exhibitions ever seen on Kyle Field. The Aggies are looking forward to next year when they can even up the score with the Longhorns. Eckhardt Rounding End Page 345 CAPTAIN JOHNSON By his smashing tactics and fighting leadership, Captain “Bull” won national recognition this year. He is one of the most famous guards of the many who have worn an Aggie uniform and the cadets of old Aggieland know that he has given his best. Every team that met us this year played two or more men against the Aggie Leader—a compliment that is seldom paid to a lineman. Carry on, Bull. EVANS Jack Evans played his third and last year this time and he achieved the ambition of every athlete. He made his last year the best. While Jack was not the fleetest end in the conference, he showed his superb skill by getting down under every punt. Not once during the entire season did an opposing back circle his end. A glorious record, Jack. Don’t let ’em circle you in the Game of Life. R. O. WILSON Dick is built right to handle the hardest position in the line and he fulfilled the promise of his phy¬ sique. He played a smashing tackle for two years in that stonewall Aggie line and every kicker in the conference feared his powerful, rangy form. None were more adept at breaking through than Dick and none opened larger holes on offense. We hate to lose the big boy. GILL King Gill—a magic name in Aggieland. A fight¬ er, a sportsman, a clean, earnest athlete. In the football world he has never been a flashing, glitter¬ ing star, but his steadfast fighting heart and dogged defensive play were sorely missed when an injury kept him out of the Thanksgiving game. The best passer and the steadiest fullback in the conference will be missed next year. -i ' rv ' v | Mu T. F. WILSON “Puney” was captain of the ’22 team and returned to give A. M. the benefit of his services one more year. He was a dashing, fearless end who loved the game he played. He has played against some of the best ends in the country, Red Roberts and Hooks McCullough among them, and he has never been beaten or out of play. The Aggies lose a mighty man with the graduation of Puney. FORGASON Big Jim was not recognized as one of the greatest guards in the Southwest this year because he was playing opposite the wonderful Bull, but he did have the satisfaction of knowing that his side of the line was as strong as his captain’s. His huge bulk and great strength make an impregnable barrier to would-be line-plungers and next year shoidd see him at his best. FAY WILSON Fay has all of the necessary qualifications of a great back. He has the speed, the power, and the natural ability that go to make backs hard to stop. This was the first of the three years that he is eligible to play with the Aggies and if he develops in the future as he has in the past he will place the Aggies in the football spotlight of fame. Watch his toe boot those spirals next year! NEELY Little Roy Neely, the West Texas jackrabbit, gained more ground than any of the other Aggie backs. This little man never saw a football before he came to the A. M. College, but by the grace of God and the help of D. X. Bible, he gave ’em a fit this year. Speedy, elusive, and game, he will be remembered as one of that Maroon band that gave their all in the defense of the traditions that surround Kyle Field. k-A r Mb Page 347 HANNA “Spot” was one of the specialists of the Aggie squad. Let his team-mates drive the ball within the opponents’ territory and Spot would boot the oval through the posts with all the ease and grace of the proverbial cockroach. His huge size, steady nerves, and long experience made him a valuable man to bolster a weakening guard and Spot earned every bit of the encouragement that he was given. We hate to lose a man of this type. DANSBY Norman Dansby is a home product, native son, and all that sort of thing. He learned football with the championship Bryan High School team and he came out to Aggieland to help keep the champion¬ ship honors near home. He won a tackle position at the first, of the season and no one ever succeeded in rooting him out of his place. He has the phy¬ sique and the temperament that will make a star of him during the next two years. DU BOIS For the second time “Crack” admirably plugged the center of the line. He must make up for his lack of bulk by the fight that he carries to the other man, for he has stacked up against several All-Con¬ ference centers without losing a yard. His passes are accurate and his defensive instinct plugs the holes that our opponents make. WAUGH Charlie Waugh was the find of the season. After two seasons of inter-company football, he suddenly blossomed out as the most powerful tackle on the squad. His size and strength give him the power to smash an opponent’s interference before it has an opportunity to form, and he can t hink as well as fight. Next year is his last, but we feel for the man who opposes him. I IRVIN When “Bull” was laid out in the great Texas game, it was “Bones” who plugged the hole. How well he filled the shoes of the Aggie leader is a matter of history, but we’ll bet that Texas guard will never forget the wild-eyed, fighting substitute that stopped the Orange advance on the one-foot line. The good part of it is that “Bones” has two more years to play ' ALLISON Clean limbs, clean lines, and a clean sport. He rose from the ranks of the company league, fought his way up among the little-noticed subs, and finally lettered under two splendid ends. Next year will see him a regular and the hard-tackling, ball-hawk¬ ing boy who forced his way up will really reach the top. BRADFORD Jim is an old head at this game of football, having lettered at Tennessee before he chose Texas A. M. as his alma mater. He is a splendid center, for all of his small stature, for he combines the fierceness of a tiger and the cunning of a fox in stopping an enemy’s drive. PINSON “Runt” comes from a football family and there are few men who are harder to stop than the little tow-headed boy. He can turn, twist, jump, and run in more different directions at the same time than any other human being in the country. He dodges tacklers running sideways, forwards, or back¬ wards, and his defensive play equals his offensive spurts. He’ll step through the Orange ranks next year. KNICKERBOCKER Knick is another that comes from a famous family of football heroes. He was the field general that directed the play of the Aggie team this year and his return of punts featured every game. He has another year if he cares to claim it.

The Southwestern Conference was a great deal stronger this year than ever before and the Texas Longhorns set a memorable record with their undefeated season. The Aggies were handicapped this year by lack of heighth. The Farmers had as smooth a court machine as any in the conference, but they were too small to hope to compete with some of the giants our rivals had. Starting with a nucleus of four-letter men, the Aggies opened the season on the home court with the T. C. U. Horned Frogs. It was a stem winder, that series, from start to finish. The first game went to the Aggies by a 27 to 26 score in an extra five- minute period. The Christians came back the next night and won 15 to 14. Page 354 Captain Gill Confers With Coach Bible On to Waco went the Aggies and down went the Bears in the first fray. 21 to 4 said the scoreboard at the end of the battle and things looked mighty rosy for the Aggies. The Bears came back the second night and by football tactics they beat the Farmers 15 to 9. The Aggies continued the road trip to Dallas and the Mustangs took out our Aggies to a cleaning in both contests. 13 to 9 and 16 to 9 were the scores. The team relaxed a little after their return home, for their next two games were with Rice and were fairly easy. We managed to put both of them away in the win column by the count of 23 to 13 and 22 to 14, and thus regained our .500 standing. The supreme test came the following week when our Aggies invaded the home of the Longhorns in Austin. The first game was a nip-and-tuck affair until the second half when the Steers pulled away with a long lead and assured them a 33 to 22 win. The second night the Aggies got the jump on their Orange o pponents and were leading 12 to for several minutes. Again the Long¬ horns came back in the second half and walked away with the game, this time the score being 27 to 16. S. M. U. came to Aggieland next and the Farmers swept them off the floor the first night. Prather and Kyle staged a beautiful passing game and the Aggies walked away with a 29 to 18 victory. The second night the Mustangs got wise and turned the tables on the Aggies. The final score of the second game was 33 to 18. The Aggies next went to Rice, and true to tradition the Owls gave us a battle. The first game was undecided until the last few minutes when Damon broke loose and tossed us a 31 to 26 win. Darby was the only Aggie that was light the second night and the Owls annexed one 28 to 26. The following week found the Aggies on the home court for a four-day stand and a glorious four days it was. Arkansas made her initial appearance here and was properly trimmed 32 to 17 and 35 to 27. Darby made 36 points in the two games. The Baylor Bears hit Aggieland for the other pair of games and the C APTAIN-ELECT WASH BURN Page 355 Aggies slaughtered them in the first game. 37 to 13 was the final count and it would have been hard to have found a happier team than the one in the Aggie dressing room after the game. The second night the task was a little harder, for the Bears got the jump but the Aggies fought out a 26 to 14 victory. The Aggies went up to Oklahoma next. The Oklahoma Aggies were sitting in third place at the time and were highly touted. The first night’s game set a new record for high scoring, the Aggies winning 48 to 32. The Okla¬ homans came back the second night and beat Bible’s team 37 to 24. Leaving Oklahoma on Sunday, the Aggies tackled T. C. U. Monday in a single game series. Officials character¬ ized the game as the fastest of the season and the Aggies demonstrated their superiority in a 22 to 16 win. The Aggies endeavored to stop the Longhorns in their winning streak in the final two games of the season. The Longhorns had a splendid team com¬ posed of nine first-class basketball play¬ ers. Their passing was smooth and they possessed the height that the Aggies lacked. Nevertheless the Aggies gave them a battle and neither game was decided until the final whistle had blown. In the first the Longhorns got the jump and the Aggies were never really danger¬ ous until the last few minutes when they rallied and nearly overcame the Long¬ horn 24 to 14 lead. On the second night the battle was even closer—one of these real old Aggie-Longhorn fights. In the final minute of play, Ponsford, Texas forward, chunked a couple of goals and the Longhorns finished the season unde¬ feated with a 17 to 11 victory. Coach Bible has splendid prospects for ’25 and the Aggies will once more attempt to annex a conference championship. We lose only Gill and Darby and while these men are valuable and hard to replace, we will have four lettermen, five squad men coming back. With the freshmen prospects, Mr. Bible will have at least twelve men of college calibre from which to build a team. ’Gene Darby Conference High-Point Man Page jj6 Page 357 J CAPTAIN GILL The Southwestern Conference has never seen a basketball player who fought harder, played cleaner, or trained more eagerly than Captain Gill. He was one of the greatest guards that ever dribbled down the floor and his dogged playing was an inspiration to his men. He was chosen by a number of critics as All-Southwestern Guard, a position that he easily merited. Aggieland hates to lose you, King. DARBY ’Gene had the honor of being the high- point man of the conference this season, lead¬ ing his nearest rival by many points. He was of the dazzling, slashing type who was likely to get loose and break up most any game at any time. His biilliant shooting and marvel¬ ous floor-work won him the honor of polling the most votes of any man nominated for an All-Conference position. He’s gone but not forgotten. DAMON Damon is the product of good coaching plus a world of natural ability. He showed little talent in high school, but under D. X.’s tutelage he came into his own. Sent into most of the frays as a “pinch hitter” he never failed to deliv er the goods. He has another year under the Aggie banner and we’re laying our money on his chances of starring. CAPTAIN-ELECT WASHBURN “Admiral” is a natural basketball palyer who learned the game in the North. He plays an elusive, speedy game and is equally valuable at forward or guard. He has the basketball technique and the fighting heart to make a grand leader for the ’25 basketball team. - i Page 358 L ■V ' I hjf 4 DUCKETT Duckett played his second year with the Aggies this time and looked even better than he did as a member of the ’23 team. He can be used at either center or forward, though he prefers the pivot position, and he fits in well at either post. He is blessed with a beautiful physique and next year should find him going at top speed. WILCOX Wilcox is a product of the company league. Although he lettered on the fresh¬ men squad last year, it was in the company league that he learned basketball. Put this little lad on a big court and his speed will enable him to run circles around the opposition and he makes a valuable forward at any time. His accuracy on free throws is almost un¬ canny; watch him play on a championship team next year. IHI ii DEALY “Dime” has the ideal athletic tempera¬ ment. He is in there fighting from the start and the hotter the game the harder he fights. He has the spirit of competition—the thing that enables a man to look better in a game than in practice. He will help fill King Gill’s shoes next season. KYLE This old long, tall boy didn’t letter this year for he came around a little late in the season, but he has the stuff and next year he will shine. In the S. M. U. game this year he gave the fans a sample of his ability and with a little more polish he will deal misery to our rivals. Page 359 BRIENT “Ape” served the Aggies faithfully through three bitter campaigns and now he is leaving Aggieland without a letter to show his devotion. He was unfortunate in being pitted against splendid basketeers for he could have lettered at nearly any conference school, but his undying devotion will never be forgotten by his friends—and he made a million during his stay here. Yours is the spirit that makes A. and M. great, Ape, and we’re sorry to lose you. PRATHER This was Jerry’s first year on the Aggie squad and ineligibility kept him from playing until too late to letter. He is one of the best prospects in the lot for he knows the game and has the height that we lacked this year. He is a splendid passer and a smart defensive man. KRUEGER Here is another man who goes on working to help the Aggies win and who gets little credit for his efforts. Lacking the physical build that would make him a star, Gus goes out and keeps trying. Through the efforts of men like this, Aggie teams are built and Aggie victories are won. You have another year, Gus, come back and try it again—and this time make it. DANSBY Dansby is a prospect—sort of an ace in the hole that D. X. is watching. He brings the fight and dash of the football field onto the basketball floor with him and during the next two years he should justify the faith that is placed in him. He’s improving and im¬ proving fast. Page 360 I f Top row —Coach Pierce, Perkins, McConaughey, Walton, Floyd, Wilcox Bottom row —Tucker, Dansby, Captain Baker, Tapp, Blount T A HE freshmen basketball team, the training school for our Varsity stars, A had an unusually good season this year. They played ten games and won seven—the three they dropped being to the fastest amateur teams in the state. Bryan High, Allen Academy, State Dummies, Terrell School and others fell before the Aggie fish while only the Houston Triangles, a team composed of older and more experienced men, and Oscar Tillery, the champion commercial team of Ft. Worth, were able to defeat our fish. Several good men were uncovered by the freshmen coach, Johnnie Pierce. At least three of them will make the Varsity squad next season and some of them stand a good chance of lettering.

Y ' H- , The 1923 Track Season FTER winning the track championship for two years, the Aggies failed to reach the peak of cinder path attainments during the season of 1923, although they got close enough to almost grasp the bunting that is symbolical of the championship. They gave the victorious Texas Longhorns a dogged battle, but they did not have the certain points that had assured them of victory in the years gone by and they were forced to scrap for every point they earned. Captain Harris ran some sensational races during the latter part of the season and the failure of the team to cop the championship was no fault of this wonderful captain. He has always been characterized as an earnest, willing worker who spent every minute striving for the advancement of his teammates, but the responsibility of a captaincy transformed him from a mediocre relay man to a record-breaking quarter miler. In the famous dual meet with Texas University he tied the record for the quarter mile. This record was held by Sammie Sanders at 50 4 5 secs. Harris Leading Near the Finish Tiny Keen was the other individual star of the Farmers; the big boy never failed to bring in a raft of points in the iron-heaving contests. Captain-elect McCullough was another consistent performer, while the relay team composed of Captain Harris, Littlejohn, Davidson and Weddell was defeated only by the record-breaking Longhorn team. The Aggies started off their dash toward the championship early in April by defeating the S. M. U. Mustangs on Kyle Field by the top-heavy score of 84 to 33. At the beginning of the meet things proved a bit more interesting than the score would indicate, for the Mustangs had a one-man team in the person of Garrett. This stellar performer gave the Aggies trouble in all of the dash events by winning the hundred, placing in the 220, winning the hurdles, and tying the quarter with Captain Harris. This last test was a supreme test of human en¬ durance, and when the lap was finished the plucky Garrett had shot his bolt and had to be carried from the field. The sure points that the Aggies possessed in the field events and the jumps were responsible for the walk-away in the late stages of the meet. Page 364 VjiT -A Ten days later found the Aggies in Waco struggling with the Baylor Bears in a dual meet. The Farmers had little trouble in winning for the Bears had only one man, Mule Frazier, the famous hurdler, who could compete with us. Frazier took first in the hurdles—the only firsts that the Bears got out of the meet. Tiny Keen was high-point man with 15 points garnered from firsts in the shot, discus, and javelin. Frazier was second with 13 and McCullough of the Aggies was third with 12. The feature of the day was the 220-yard dash, with Both winning by inches over Smythe and Moses. The Aggies showed their superiority in the distances by taking both places in every event from the 220 to the 2-mile. The surprise of the day was the wonderful showing of Damon in the broad jump and of Wilson in the discus. K rgf 4,. Heard Leaping at the Tape On April 28 the Rice Owls entertained the Aggies in Houston and the Aggies won that meet by 74 to 43. Again the superiority of the Aggies in the weights and the distances proved too much for their opponents, although Stancliff of Rice gave Keen a battle in both discus and shot. Poth furnished the surprise package this time by winning both the hundred and the 220. The meet was a pretty one and most of the events were closely contested. Texas University had also been walking over all opponents in a rough-shod manner, and the meeting of the two undefeated squads drew a large crowd of track enthusiasts. The meet was held on Kyle Field and both teams realized that the Southwestern Championship would likely be prophesied by that dual meet. May 5 was the date of the meet and the day proved ideal. The track was in splendid condition, the weather was cool and the men were keyed up to the highest pitch. As a result of these conditions, five records were shattered and three were equaled before the Longhorns downed the Fighting Farmers. Every Aggie bettered his previous record for his special event and it was not through lack of effort or fight that the Maroon lost. Page 365 The Finish of the 100 -Yard Dash Some of the events were won by the slightest of margins and none were really walk-aways. Jim Reese, the Longhorn star, won the half-mile and chopped 3 5 of a second from the previous record of 1-59 3 5. The Texas relay team broke the record held by the Aggies by running the four laps in 3-24 3 5. The Aggie team also broke the old record, but they could not head off the flying Longhorns. Trout, the Texas captain, broke his own record by running the 2-mile in 10-3. Tiny Keen put the shot 46 feet 2 x i inches, breaking the old record by nearly four feet. Captain Harris upset the dope and defeated the Longhorn quarter- miler by tying the old record of 50 4 5. Jack McCullough left the Longhorns flat on their backs by pole vaulting 12 feet 2 inches, 2 inches higher than the previous record. Beaumont Stinnett, flying Texas dash man, equaled both dash records with 10 and 22 seconds flat. This meet, was undoubtedly the greatest ever held in the state and the dogged resistance put up by the Aggies won the hearts of every true sportsman who saw the wonderful meet. Texas Winning the Lows Page 366 Jack Oozing Over The Conference meet was not up to the calibre of the Texas dual and no records were broken. The men were tired by the long ride to Stillwater, and the tracks were not up to the standard of the Texas fields. All of the events were comparatively slow and Texas won in decisive fashion. The scores were as follows: Texas, 65V 2 ; Texas A. and M., 38; Oklahoma A. and M., 253 ; Baylor, 15; S. M. U., 8i ; T. C. U., 7 ; Rice, 5. Coach Anderson developed the material that he had to work with in a very creditable manner and his failure to win a championship was due entirely to lack of material to start on. This year we hope to have more men to work with and so give the coach a fair shot at the Texas Longhorns. Tiny Heaving the Javelin Page 367 Captain Harris Captain Harris was one of the gamest, most willing workers that ever wore an Aggie uniform. He made four letters in track during his stay here and he ran on two record-breaking relay teams. He left a multitude of friends in Aggieland who wish him every success in his business life. Captain-Elect McCullough Jack is one of those pole vaulters that get high behind when a few points are needed. Last year he surprised the Longhorns by clearing the bar at 12 feet, 2 inches, thus breaking - the conference record. He will make an inspiring captain this year. Keen Tiny is another record breaker who has been performing a long time. In that famous dual meet with Texas he smashed a record by putting the shot 46 feet, 2 inches. He has held the discus record in years gone by. Old Donald Old is a product of the cross-country team that won the Southwestern Championship in 1922. Old ran the mile and consistently took first place. He is a fighter from the time the gun is fired until the tape is broken and every opponent knows that the little man is hard to beat. Davidson Cotton won his laurels by getting down and really working for them. He started out as a broad- jumper and practiced with varying success until Coach Anderson noticed his long.stride and turned him into a quarter-miler. Boy, he eats up the track. Damon Damon won his letter in the jumps by winning in some of the meets and placing in all. He shows good form and will improve as the time passes. He has lots of speed and power and is very de¬ pendable. Jones The whole school rejoiced when Newt won a letter in the javelin for if ever a man worked for a letter, it was Newt. For three years he stayed on the basketball squad and competed for a place against men who were All-Southwestern calibre and then he came out for track and won his reward Ward Ward was another jumper whose claim to fame lay in his consistency and his willingness to work. He placed in nearly every meet and will be with us again this year. Heard Heard was a miler and a good one. For three years he trod the cinder paths of the Southwestern Conference and few men ever headed him off at the tape. He always carried enough of the Aggie Fight to forge to the front with that precious first place. Littlejohn They never come back. That is an old fable among athletes, but in this case it didn’t hold true. Here is a man that came back after he was ap¬ parently through as a half-miler and by hard work succeeded in making the relay team. Page 369 24 Wilson Large Richard is primarily a football man, but his great strength came in handy at flinging the discus. He is the ideal type for this sort of work for his long arms give him an immense leverage. This year he is back and we expect him to annex a few firsts in the ancient Greek sport. Poth Poth is a dash man that is as fleet as a rabbit. He has a wonderful stride and if he continues to develop in the next two years there is no reason why he shouldn’t shatter a few records. His best race last year was against Goss, of Rice. Royal Like Old, Royal is a product of the inter¬ company cross-country race. His splendid wind and strong legs bore him through a very successful season as a two-miler. He is built like a grey¬ hound, all legs with tendons of steel, and his tireless stride carries him over the ground. Weddell Weddell gave Jim Reese, the Texas half-miler, the hardest race of the year and any man that can make Reese extend himself is a wonder.

JL The chief aim of the cross-country team is to develop distance men who can be used in the spring and we point to Gillespie and Bowen as the results of this year’s work. The team had a mediocre season, but the schedule was short and the men hardly received a fair trial. The dual meet with Texas was lost by a few points and the conference meet was even closer. Gillespie won the conference meet and Royal tied for second but the other men did not place high enough to enable the Aggies to win.

Aggies had ever had. Very few meets were scheduled, but the men were trained and developed right along with the Varsity squad and competed with them in the weekly field trials. Nearly a hundred men reported at the beginning of the season and from this number the best men were chosen. Only two meets were run off during the year, but the freshmen made a good showing in both. The first, with the Varsit y, the freshmen lost by a large score, but they later trimmed Allen Academy 74 to 43. The Varsity squad of this year received a number of good men from this freshmen squad. Fay Wilson, McCluney, McConnell, Quinby, Killian and several others made the Varsity squad this year and some of these men will letter at the Southwestern Conference meet. The freshmen squad will, in the future be the training school for the Varsity squad and will be an important cog in the athletic machinery of A. and M. Seven numerals were given at the end of the season. The men who were so honored were: McCluney, Wilson, McConnell, Gillespie, Franklin, Quinby and Smith.

They were young and inexperienced, but they took advantage of every break, they stole every base that was offered them and they never quit fighting until the last man was out. They seemed to radiate the fight and energy that accompanies youngsters and many games were pulled out of the fire by thrilling ninth-inning rallies that left their opponents gasping for air. Lefty Rogers Pitching to Lovvorn Captain Morris was the individual star of the year, his brilliant fielding and his timely hitting inspiring his team to play over their heads against their more experienced opponents. Speedy” Simpson, transformed from a mediocre infielder to a sensational outfielder, was another important cog in the team’ 5 success. Pat Olsen hurled brilliant ball at all times and many of the games tha were chalked up in the win column went there because this lion-hearted slabman refused to be beaten until the ninth inning had been played. Rogers shone as a relief hurler while Chapman, Forgason, Puckett, Gill, Wilson, Giffin, Johnson, Steineker , Bradford, and Dodge all played good baseball Had they had a little more experience to add to their fight and dash, they would have emerged from the race as Conference Champions. The first games of the season were played against the Houston Texas League team and the Aggies showed that they were far from right by allowing the Buffs to nose out” 11 to 5 and 14 to 8 wins. Olsen met the T. C. U. Horned Frogs in the first conference game of the season and pitched the Aggies to a 6 to 5 victory. The second game went to the Farmers by the same score, but it was a mighty battle. Giffin and Rogers Page 376 opposed the Christian star, Scott, and the Aggies batted out a victory in the ninth frame. The Mustangs came next and Gill beat Matthews in a free-hitting contest by a 7 to 3 count. The second game of the series was played during the Junior Banquet and as the shades of night fell and the freshmen stole away into the twilight, the two teams battled away at a 2 to 2 tie that was still knotted at dark. The Aggies threw a scare into the favorites for conference honors by journey¬ ing to Austin and trimming the Longhorns twice in their own stronghold. Rogers whommed them 8 to 5 and Olsen won an airtight 3 to 2 victory the second start. Boy, page Waterloo! Here the Aggies were sitting on top of the world and along came the Baylor Bears and kicked them into the sea. ’Twas during the I J age 377 Chapman Slaps One R. V. and all the feminine pulchritude of the state was on hand to watch the Aggies get drubbed. Errors caused the loss of the first game 6 to 4 and the Bears repeated the dose by handing out a mean 5 to 3 on the second day. The Aggies hit the road at this stage of the race and Scott nosed out a 3 to 2 victory over Pat Olsen, but the Aggies came back and batted in a 7 to 3 win for King Gill. Waco was the next stop and the Bears once more pulled through with a pair of victories. Jake Freeze shut out the Farmers the first day while his teammates tallied four times and Lyons came through with a 3 to 2 win on the last game. At Dallas the Aggies again failed to get much satisfaction for the first game ended in a 6 to 6 tie and the second was rained out. After a few days’ rest the Aggies went to Houston and met the Owls, playing four games in two days. The first was easy for the Farmers had on their batting clothes and hammered out a 12 to 4 win. Likewise, the second went to the Aggies and once more visions of a championship floated before the eyes of the cadets. However the Owls staged a comeback and took both contests by a 5 to 4 and 7 to 6 scores the second day. The conference season ended for the Aggies with a pair of games with the Longhorns on the home lot. The Aggies won the first one 6 to 5, but the Steers came back and took the final in a thrilling ninth-inning rally, 7 to 6. Baylor won the championship with S. M. U., A. and M., and Texas finishing in order. The Aggies finished the season with a pair of games in Brenham against the Southwestern Pirates. The team was badly off form and dropped both games, 6 to 3 and 8 to 7. Coach House worked wonders with his squad and won a place in the hearts of the Aggies. In the years that will come the other conference teams will learn that the Texas Aggies are a power to be dealt with in the race for the Cham¬ pionship of the Southwestern Conference. Page 378 a r jO ' Captain Bugs Morris Bugs is one of the best Big League prospects that has played at A. and M. since the days of “Topper” Rigney. He has the speed, the hitting power and the throwing arm to carry him from college baseball to stardom, and if he is fortunate enough to dodge injuries and Old Man Joe Slump, he will reach the peak of baseball fortune. As a college player he reigned supreme for he covered a world of territory and was the terror of all the conference slabmen. Coach H. H. House This was Coach House’s first year as an Aggie mentor and he carried his silent, persevering nature into a coach’s hardest job—-that of molding a team from green material. How well he succeeded is shown by the record of his team. Perhaps some day he will .have the material to really fashion a championship aggregation. Puckett Puckett was tried first at third base and then in left field and although he never developed into a star fielder, his hitting won him a place in the sun. Batting high above the coveted .300, he was a dangerous man for any pitcher to face in a pinch and his two home runs over at Austin will always be remembered by the few who were fortunate enough to see them. Puckett is back again this year. Captain-Elect Jack ForgasonJ Jack is a big husky catcher and one of the best that ever donned the mask. He is smart, quick, and possesses a mighty arm. Batting left-handed he hooked many drives into left field for two and three bases at a crack and on the bases he was fast as light. He has the temperament and the leader¬ ship to make a great captain for the Aggie team of 1924. Page 370 to • • if- 4 ■ Simpson Speedy was transformed from a shortstop into a center fielder of the most graceful type. He was fast enough to range the whole garden and he pulled down many long ones that looked like hits. He hit around .380 and most of his hits came when they were needed. He had the natural speed to make him a dangerous man on the paths and he got on often enough to cause serious trouble. After he left school he made good in the Texas Association and will go up before long. Chapman Chapman was thought to be a little slow for a place on the hot corner, but as a last resort he was shifted in from the outfield and given a trial and before long the silent one looked like Heinie Groh. The cadets will never forget a drive that he speared over behind third one day when it meant the game and from then on his place was cinched. He ought to be a wonder this year. Giffin Gifiin had a little slow drop that looked like duck-soup to the batter, but when said batter took a wicked cut at the ball, the little pellet was gone. He was handicapped at the start of the season through sickness, but the old form was reached before the end of the season and that little drop won many games. We lost a good man when Giffin decided not to come back this year. Johnson Pud didn’t find himself until late in the year, but he was out there with the old pepper all the time. He had the honor of breaking Texas’ heart with a home run on Kyle Field one glorious afternoon, and this year we are looking to him to repeat his stellar work. Page 380 Olsen Pat was a big boy that had a world of stuff. He had speed, control and a good curve and to help him out he owned an even-tempered disposition that helped him over the rough spots. Since he left school he had played professional ball with Des Moines and is now the property of the New York Yanks. He won most of his games pitching for the Aggies and the ones he lost were of the “hard- luck” variety. Gill Gill was a pitching star during his sophomore year, but last year his arm went back on him and he was shifted to the outfield in midseason. Gill is a natural ball-player, for he can hit and field as well as pitch. Once in the box he is as cool as a cucumber and uses his head as well as his arm in steaming them by the batter. He is due for a great year in ’24. Rogers Lefty has long been a promising fork-hander, and once he became eligible he justified the faith that his friends reposed in him. He has remarkable control for a southpaw and his fast one hops like a grasshopper. He will be the pitching staff this year and if he shows up as well as last, he will get a chance at faster company. Wilson Petey is an old-timer whose baseball days are just beginning. He was a timely hitter and rated as one of the luckiest players on the squad for he seldom failed to get on. His age and experience brought steadiness to the infield and his ability to sacrifice won him the second place on the batting order Wilson is now playing with the Memphis Club and is making good.

Other conference schools, among them Texas and S. M. U., encourage tennis at every turn, and it is only by putting forth the superhuman Aggie fight that the Farmers manage to hold their own. Interest is being aroused at present and it is believed that before long the Aggies will be as formidable on the tennis court as they are on the football field. The Aggies met fou r teams in dual meets in the season of ’23 and though they won only one meet, they raised the standard of Aggie tennis considerable. Captain Rogers and Captain-elect Rounds played first doubles and through their efforts T. C. U. was beaten and S. M. U. and Baylor were held to close scores. Hinman and Estep completed the team played good tennis throughout the year. Texas University, with a doubles team that later won the National Collegiate Championship, cleaned up at the conference meet which was held at College Station for the first time. Page 383 f £%} An Appreciation OOMEWHERE in the Longhorn, usually at the end where it will not be noticed, it is the custom of the editor to reserve a page for his own personal observations, apologies, and bouquet-throwing. Sometimes there is a note of triumph in his tone, it must be that he really writes that page last like he claims he does and he is gloating over the fact that there is no more to do, but down at the end you can usually detect a tinge of regret. Just why he uses a page for this purpose is no mystery to one who has edited some section of the annual— it makes nice copy to fdl up an extra page that the Business Manager couldn’t sell and doesn’t cost much to print, or he really desires to thank the men who have helped him and to say goodbye to his friends. I want to take a leaf from his book (pun unintentional) and express my appreciation for the people who have helped me with this athletic section. The athletic department comes in for the bouquets first. Mr. Bible, Mr. House, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Pierce, and Mr. Nunn, the genial secretary, have always assisted me in every respect. Often they have laid aside their work and searched through musty record books to aid me in keeping the dope straight. I appreciate it very much and wish to take this opportunity to thank them. My roommates were, perhaps, the most patient sufferers I encountered. Not once did they howl when I clicked the typewriter during the alleged study hour. Though I littered the floor with little paper scraps many times, they never threatened to make me sweep and several times (nay many) they laid their books aside, exhibited signs of intelligence foreign to their usual placid countenances, and helped me wield a wicked scissor (or is it scissors). Truly I thank them for the aid and suggestions that they gave me. Mr. Ashburn lifted me over a rough spot, too. I was shy a picture of Rothgeb and needed one badly and good old Ike came forth with the only one on the campus. Gracias, mia gra cias, senor. ■ , ... Finally, lastly, and in conclusion, I want to thank the athletes for the information that they have given me throughout the year. Some of them have helped me more than they realize and perhaps some day I can repay them. It has been a pleasure to prepare this section. Some men have not received in these pages all the credit that is due them, but the intention was there. Per¬ haps there are many mistakes, if so they were unintentional. Good-bye, good- luck, God bless you. —Exit the Sport Editor. Page 384 M—■ ■ — — a Mfi 1 j a til K . ... FV . 1 I o 4 .

A short dedica¬ tion speech was made by ' ‘Uncle Dan” Jackson, noted chimney sweep and philanthropist, after which the barn was christened by breaking a barrel of Toddville’s fam¬ ous sulfur water over the cranium of “Spark Plug” Matthews. Wallie Graft, naval engineer and street builder, at once at¬ tempted to take up a collection to pay for the barrel and to buy a new toupee for “Sparkie,” but after due deliberation the faculty voted unani¬ mously to confiscate all cadets’ trust funds to pay the debt. Trash Baker, newly-ap¬ pointed janitor of the building, outlined the pur¬ poses of the edifice, stat¬ ing that the barn would be used exclusively for an indoor rifle range, for the hazing of unruly Fish, for the Cavalry and Artillery stables, and as an annex to the Bachelors’ Club. On the third floor will be located the Horizontal Engineering Department. King Vivion will be Dean of this department, hav¬ ing had several years’ ex¬ perience along this line at Allen Academy. A huge bonfire was then suspended from the ceil¬ ing. A bass solo, under the left-handed direction of “Sparkie” Matthews, was rendered by Dr. Hedges, while the audi¬ ence smoked Marijuana. The party lasted until class call yesterday morn¬ ing. WATER SHORTAGE RELIEVED. Ten Million Gallons Per Capita is Required Daily at College. Since the new sulfur well has been brought in at College Station, the water shortage at Todd- ville has been greatly relieved. Much water is secured from this well as a by-product of sulfur. Doctor Hedges announces DR. BIZZELL TO RE¬ TURN FROM EUROPE Dr. Bizzell, who has made a contracted trip to Europe and part of Rhode Island, is expected to re¬ turn to Toddville by way of Navasota at two o ’ clock next week. Reser¬ vations have been made for him on the Bryan- College Interurban. Dr. Bizzell writes that he notes a striking difference between Americans and foreigners, in that they speak a different lan¬ guage. College residents are anxiously awaiting the President’s return, as it is rumored that he has grown a flowing beard. that the expenses of the Chem. Department have been greatly alle¬ viated in that this well produces an ample sup¬ ply of Hydrogen Sulfide. The “Chem” building will soon be moved near the well in order that students may have proper atmos¬ phere. p I 01 m Batlp Pulletm Published occasionally Never delivered By William Bennet Bizzell Owner of the College FRANK O. MARTIN Office Boy COL. TODD GIVES NEW RECIPE FOR HOME BREW. For the benefit of all College residents and ca¬ dets Col. Todd has at last made known the recipe for making his fam¬ ous home brew. He has kept this formula a secret for quite a while, but after so long a time his better nature has asserted itself and he has graciously turned it over to the edi¬ tor. Boil maple bark, twenty parts; hazel bush, thirty parts; sour milk, twenty-five parts, until it becomes about the con¬ sistency of fresh Quelch juice. Let it stand for a few weeks until the rich flavor has died down, so that you can look at it for quite a while without nausea. Add vinegar and copperas to suit the taste. This gives it a rich pau¬ per’s coffin shade which Page 3 94 can only be appreciated by old billiard drinkers. Col. Todd states that he has tried hundreds of home-brew formulas, but this is the best that he has ever had the pleasure of trying. A striking similarity between a mule and a box car is that neither can ride a bicycle. FACULTY EDITS YEL¬ LOW SHEET. Profs. Try to Create Suc¬ tion. At a recent meeting of the faculty it was made known that they had ac¬ complished nothing in the last two months, and so decided to advertise them¬ selves a bit. After a long discussion Dean Puryear shouted, “Put it in writ¬ ing,” and so it was re¬ solved to publish a faculty paper. Several sugges¬ tions were offered as to a name for the paper, but the majority of these were rejected for the reason that most of them con¬ tained the names of their authors. Notable among these was a title sug¬ gested by “Wheezy” Clarke: “Clarke’s Com¬ munity Store Herald.” Mr. Clarke gave his rea¬ son for this to be that it BOYCOTT’S STORE Buy your milk from us— it reminds you of the weather—looks like rain. We beat you right Phone 00 Toddville, Texas would increase the mar¬ ginal utility of the Com¬ munity Store. Dean Bol¬ ton very modestly sug¬ gested that the publica¬ tion be called “The Ding¬ bat.” This name was unanimously adopted by the faculty and it was decided that Frank O. Martin should be the Editor, having had several years previous experience editing amateur publica¬ tions. “The Dingbat” will be published at an early date and will contain sev¬ eral interestii g facts heretofore unbeknownst to the student body. Mr. Martin will add his usual typographical errors in order to make these more interesting. Found—Why they call that initial 5 simoleons a trust fund.

Dean Puryear Carried Away by Dance. Last Sunday night the Faculty gave its ninety- sixth corps dance of the year and graciously ex¬ tended an invitation to the entire cadet corps. The latter organization was well represented by W. L. Gurinsky, who vied with Dr. Garnett and Uncle Dan Jackson for the title of the most graceful dancer. Dean Puryear was completely carried away by the dancers. Upon regaining consciousness Wednesday morning, he stated that it was the best dance that he had attended since being dis¬ charged from the Con¬ federate Veterans’ Home where he had attended many snappy functions. The crowning moment of the dance came when Charlie Nitch hit Dutch Dillingham over the head with a can of sauerkraut. Mr. Duncan, who was furnishing the music with the aid of Doc. Asbury ,was thrown into paroxysms of grief at the loss of so much expensive food, but he was quieted upon learning that his bagpipe was still in good shape.

Dr. Chauncy Bertram Gladney, one of the most prominent English Pro¬ fessors of A. and M. Col¬ lege and noted social lead¬ er of Toddville,announced yesterday that, to his great surprise, the “True Confessions” Publishing Company of Benchley had accepted for publication his latest book, “Mystic Love.” While Dr. Glad¬ ney does not expect to sell any of these books, he states that his ambitions will be realized when he sees his name in print. Dr. Gladney has writ¬ ten 569 books in the past three years, rivaling Ho¬ ratio Alger for sheer pro¬ duction. “Mystic Love” is the first one of these books to be published. Dr. Gladney has high hopes for his future books, as heretofore all his writ¬ ings have been on sensible subjects. Much material for this book was collected while Dr. Gladney was serving as a Lieutenant in the sanitary department dur¬ ing the World War. 1 4 TODAY’S RADIO PROGRAM 9 a. m.—Illustrated talk entitled “Dreams of a Dope-eater,” by Cokey Mitchell.

I ' HE Campus Chewing Club was organized at the beginning of the present J- semester, and is a pioneer in its field. At the first meeting, the following officers were elected: Grand Cavernous Container, Cootie Roberts; Highly Capacious Receptacle, R. M. Sherman; Most Magnamonious Masticator, H. F. Haslbauer; Extremely Exalted Expectorator, S. A. Pinson. How well these men have performed the duties of their office is attested by the shins of many chewers, and the club has grown and prospered from the ver y beginning. The ritual of the society is a holdover from the ancient Aztec civilization. After the meeting has been called to order, the G. C. C. places a caddy of the brand under consideration on the altar to the goddess of Nicotine, breaks the seals and salaams. The H. C. R. uncovers the fur-lined cuspidor in the far corner of the hall, which is a standard H. T. C. model lined with Whangdoodle fur. The M. M. M. then advances to the altar and bites off a standard chew. (Regular fifteen-cent cut.) If the penetration is satisfactory, he passes the plug to the E. E. E. who tests the ballistic properties. All tests being satisfactory, the meeting is duly opened for the dispatch of business. Much research work has been conducted by the club, and the following are typical of the many papers that have been presented: The Effect of the Li corice and Molasses Content Upon the NormanjTrajectory, A Comparative Study of the Ballistic Properties of Thick and Thin Tinsleys, High Angle Fire, Spittoons I Have Missed, From Morning Till Night On a Single Plug, and a complete con¬ fidential Range Table. It is hoped that this club, which has had such an auspicious beginning, will continue its beneficial work thruout the years to come. Page 403 Aggieland, Texas, May 15, 1924. Dere Rummit: The son has passed his zenith and is now declining and will soon set, marking the end of a four-year day—but refuses to de¬ cline his sheepskin for that would indeed be a breach of college etiquette and he might make a goat out of himself in Prexy’s eyes. Having been tossed about on the tempestous sea of educa¬ tion, and having been exposed to the elements (Tm taking chemis¬ try), and my craft being a very frail and weathered one, I am not at all loath to come into port and ride safe at anchor while repairs are being made; and while doing so I will tell you of a few of the important personages whose acquaintance it has been my privilege to make and whose friendship it has been my desire to gain. A man is not measured by inches—or by feet—; if he were, Bob White would be inhuman, for it would be impossible to compare him with us “poor mortals here below.” It is queer to me that John Stovall is so gentle—-for it is said that he has a brother who is so mean that he can sit on a pitchfork and laugh at his own pain. The only extraordinary thing that John ever did was to walk barefooted along a barbed wire fence with a wild cat under each arm looking for a rattlesnake nest to jump into. Farris Baker is a knowing chap. I met him in Houston one week and he said to me, “Tommie, I’ve got the inside dope.” I have since often wondered if he did not get his words in the wrong places. Monk Swanner left home to set the world on fire, but he had to go back home for some more matches. Blow Bowden says that he will never smoke another Camel for he believes that, after all, it was the camels that made the bartenders the orphans of the storm. Bill Hancock says that the reason he likes bananas so well is because of the fact that they have no bones. Page 404 And of Dutch Eschenberg, in future days, I may always say, at mention of his name, “Why, I knew him even before his mous¬ tache was only a shadow.” Maggie McGee is still looking for that fellow named Johnny Walker. I think he’s the guy that got mixed up in Tequila, a town in Mexico. And when I think of Bob Crockett (and his boots), I always remember a question that a certain girl asked me when she first saw him, “Why, what is that boy wearing a leather suit for? It’s not raining.” Montie Tatum will make a very satisfactory architect, but I fear that he will limit himself to designs of stucco buildings. He always has that “Stuck-O” complection, and it is rumored that he has designs (but I can’t tell her name). Gurinsky should make a good tight wire walker—he has wonderful control of himself (never loses his cents). I have ceased wondering why everyone calls Payne Harrison and Nat Turner “Blisters;” it’s because they haven’t yet got the point as to what it’s all about. B. C. Davis will never be the same boy again, but he’s well under control (Love, Honor, and Obey). I am hoping that Cootie Roberts and Samuel Pinson will some day stab that fat sow, at least they’re not hoggish about it. I am hoping that Herman Hasselbauer will never have to eat in a restaurant where there is a time limit. Fred Downs reminds me of a single locomotive—nothing to it, nowhere to go, something that can go fast once started, but easy to derail, and can carry a whole lot, got lots of pull and a good head—but—light. Bob Sherman has always meant well and we presume that he was well meant. Bill Watson is a good pool player for he likes to put things in pockets—this is not incriminating, it’s my cue to end this. Yours till Tom McCarter marries, Tommie.

In those days of archeozaic dates when the youthful jelly chewed traprock, Q-Ball had profuse raven locks upon his brow that would make the musical locks of the famous Charlie Webb appear as the great open spaces, and the presidential mop of the virgin Sherman woidd have brought tears from the eyes of the horny rambillicious. But sad, sad the bitter wail—the cruel hand of advancing progress has shorn our Samson of his strength, and now the sun’s rays form the angle 4 upon Q-Ball’s rounded dome. When Tubby’s Walker’s famous celluloid collar was invented there also sprang into being the slide rule or guessing rod. O well do the studes remember the day when this little calculating wand came into the hands of our minute demon rivet pursuer. The class in bridges had gathered for the usual hour of medieval torture and the pursuit of the angle $ waxed warm. Even more, it waxed hot and the wee little angle was beset upon all sides. The air was dense with static and the snores of Charlie Reagan came from afar off. It was at this instant that our Q-Ball perceived with one glance of his piercing optic that the hand of a master could throttle the gasping angle and no more would $ baffle the yearning C. E. Out flashed the slip-stick and the class pressed forward to be in at the death. The Id’s flew inversely as the square of the cubes and decimal points dripped on the floor as the gentle dews from heaven. But the mere mechanical genius of man could not stand beneath the cries of friction, and the magic cellu¬ loid gasped out one last point nine ninety-nine and burst into flames. As the devastated forests—as the maiden’s petticoat—Q-Ball’s locks were no more. After Harpole’s troop of fire-eaters had fanned the flames away and after the smoke had dwindled in threads through the upper regions, there re¬ mained the polished and gleaming Q-Ball. Page 40Q Again the arm of)justice is thrust aside and the minions of the law fold up their tents and steal away in the night. For seventeen and a half days the chief sleuth of the secret service, disguised as a hat rack, gumshoed clews from within our den of money changers. The evidence was complete, for in the silent watches of the night Wipprecht was caught in the act of pinching nickles to make them quarters. But the hand that snatched the fruits of labor from the mouths of sixteen hundred Fish was capable of one final effort. While gazing into the capacious mouth of a forty-five, our villain squeezed a double hand¬ ful of dollars into so many pennies, and the books showed that each student owed $2.63.7 on his trust fund. Another villain goes ' unhung, and there ain’t no justice. From the regions of the clouds; from the eternal heights of the etherial space, there fluttered down in short wave lengths along a longitudinal axis of parallax, messages; ever guiding words, ever direct¬ ing the poor and struggling, simple, but honest sons of toil and scions of labor. This enlightened philosopher of rural sociology; this king of all Ag Administra¬ tors—how well he guides the feeble and tottering footsteps of those pseudo¬ students who, by the compulsion of fate and at the request of the dean, no longer bear up under the extenuating circum¬ stances which had been forced upon them by their own intellectual discrepancies, were compelled to forego the pursuit of engineering and seek the simple and sure road to a sheep-skin by the way of Doc Garnett’s goatee. Page 410 Senior Public Speaking T ENTERED the room with fear and trembling, for the night before I’d J- dreamed of an unsheathed sword. Goodness knows I wasn’t prepared, and I could tell at a glance that the Senator was in an unrelenting mood. Evidently he had confused the sides of the bed upon arising. When the roll was called, I answered to a name that certainly wasn’t mine, and when the first banquet was announced, I approached the big table with wobbly tread. Now I’ve already said that I hadn’t made the slightest prep¬ aration, as is my custom, and I have no occasion to retract that statement. The only joke I knew was the one about Adam naming the ’possum, and the only verse I could recite was one from the middle of The Cremation of Sam Magee.” How I would apply those to an Armistice Day speech, and what I’d do for a middle, was beyond me. I heard the toastmaster thank the multitude for the honor they had bestowed upon him, and for the pleasure that was his, when in reality he’d rather ride a rail. I heard the speakers thank the toastmaster For those kind words, false tho they may be,” and at last I heard my own name mentioned. I arose, in much the same frame of mind as the criminal who hears the hangman halloo, Next!” I licked my chops, and trembled until my joints squeaked. I stood speechless. Finally I heard a voice telling of Adam and the ’possum. Gaining confidence, I bellowed a few such expressions as Washington crossing the Delaware,” Blocks of ice,” Barefooted,” Blood stains,” and Big toes sticking out,” mixed it all with a paragraph from Andy Gump, elecuted a verse from Sam Magee, and sat down. When the last speaker had shouted, To you from falling hands we pitch the torch,” there was a moment of silence, and then the storm broke. Up spake the Senator: Now I know how Antony felt when he delivered his funeral oration. If that was a banquet, I’d hate to attend a funeral, unless I were the corpse. That was almost the worst possible, and, gentlemen, you have satisfaction of knowing that yours was the deadest banquet I’ve listened to in the last ten years.” And then he proceeded to pick the speakers to pieces by detail, until he came to me, whose speech he praised, dwelling upon the appropriateness of the joke and poem, and upon the effect of the dramatic pause. Then, after a few words of general admonition, that those who lived by the sword would surely die thereby, and that those who missed their work were sure to perish, the class was closed in peace. The moral of this tale is plain, that all may see it: many an English course has been passed by a Dumb-Dumb who didn’t even know the course number. Page 411 The End ' V TOW that it has come time to write this last page, I am at loss to figure out -L something appropriate for the occasion. I might end it poetically by describing the setting of the sun, or by some other of the poet’s favorites, but why try to think up something elaborate when it is merely—THE END. The staff has worked hard all during the year, and I have stood around and looked wise—probably dumb. They have come across with the goods and should be given credit for it. In the small space I have here it would be impossible to express my appreciation to the members of the staff for the consideration and co-operation they have given me. At times when things were not running as smoothly as could be, every man of them was always willing to do all in his power to brighten the situation. The friendships I have formed with them will be everlasting, and I regret the fact that we will have to part in the course of a few months. We believe that our book is truly representative of A. and M.; at any rate it was our purpose to make it so, and if this has been accomplished we are satis¬ fied. Let us hope that in the years to come we will run through the pages of this book and have those memories that are so dear to our hearts brought back to us again. The Editor. Page 412 N Jt N 4 4 R A 4 “Adore Cotton on Fewer Acres ' 1 ' 1 State- CFide Contest Opens Devoting themselves to a possible solution of the cotton problem in Texas, The Dallas Morning News and The Semi-Weekly Farm News, in co-operation with the Extension Service of Texas A. Ad. College, have taken the initiative by conducting a state-wide cotton contest whose slogan is “Adore Cotton on Fewer Acres.” This is the beginning of a four-year program of work which these organizations will carry on for the purpose of making cotton production more profitable through increased acre yields, reduced acreage planted, and releasing cotton land for the raising of food and feed crops, thus making for a balanced agriculture in Texas. Thirty counties have organized local cotton contests and are co-operating in the state-wide contest to the extent of offering a grand total of something like 50 , 000 , which will be distributed among cotton growers of Texas this season in the various localities. These sums hake been subscribed by merchants in various trade territories where the contests are conducted, through the activity of local Chambers of Commerce and other business organizations. All these organizations are co-operating with The Dallas Morning News and Semi-Weekly Farm News in the state-wide contest, and any farmer entered in a local contest can, without further trouble, enter the state-wide contest by subscribing to the rules governing. Farmers in irrigated territory are barred, but there are no restrictions as to length of staple or cost of production. In connection with the cotton contest an important subsidiary activity has been launched by making each entrant in the contest keep an absolute record of his pro¬ duction cost, time and labor involved, on a Crop Record Blank. These blanks at the end of the contest will become the property of the State Cotton Contest Committee, headed by Director T. 0. Walton, of the Extension Service, and will be made the basis of a study leading to efforts to formulate plans for making every Texas farm self-sustaining. The Dallas Morning News and Semi-Weekly Farm News have offered a grand prize of 1 , 000 , which will be awarded to the Texas farmer who, during 1924 , produces the most lint cotton on a five-acre tract. The entries to the contest close June 1 st and award of the grand prize will take place on or after December 22 nd, in order to make it in the nature of a Christmas present to the winner. Another prize of 1,000 has been made possible through the contribution of the Texas Bankers’ Association. This prize money will be divided into subsidiary prizes, such as second and third. Other organizations are on the point of offering money to be added to the state-wide contest fund and the sums will be used in a similar manner. The contest to date has the endorsement of the United States Department of Agriculture, Texas A. M. College, Texas Farm Bureau Cotton Association, American Cotton Growers Exchange, Southwestern Railway Development Association, the West Texas Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations. It is meeting with hearty response in almost every county of Texas. P rmeem m %grW - m Page 413 i_ lY ; ■ S i rv ' y w cr ,. r V 1 m I - I ’VI Value and Service J r, Oj A [ILITARY V . LX O.
