Academic Building, 1877 Historical Sketch of the Agricultural and A(echanical Qollege of ' Texas f’lP ' HE A. and M. College of Texas was j[ established in conformity with an Act of Congress approved by President Lin¬ coln, July 2, 1862. This law is called the Morrill Act, from its author, Senator J. S. Morrill of Vermont, who carried on a valiant fight for its passage over a period of five years in the face of much opposition. It is also known as the Land Grant Act, because of the provision that for each Senator and Representative in Congress 30,000 acres of land be donated to each State for the establishment of an institution of higher learning, “where the leading object shall be, without ex¬ cluding scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life.” The provisions of the Land Grant Act were accepted by the Legislature of Texas November 1, 1866, and an Act providing for the establishment of the A. and M. College of Texas was passed by the Legislature April 17, 1871. This Act also provided for the appointment of three commissioners charged with the duty of selecting a suitable location for the College. After careful investigation the Commission accepted the offer of the citizens of Brazos County, and located the College on a tract of 2,416 acres, five miles south of Bryan. The initial meeting of the first Board of Directors of the College was held at Bryan June 1, 1875. This Board was composed of the following members: Richard Coke, Governor; R. B. Hubbard, Lieutenant-Governor; Guy M. Bryan, Speaker of the House; B. H. Davis and C. S. West. The Presidency of the College was tendered to Jefferson Davis, who found it necessary to decline the offer. The College was opened on October 4, 1876. Six students presented themselves for enrollment on the first day; however, before the year was over, a total of 106 had matriculated. Difficulties were encountered from the beginning. The faculty was composed of men trained in the classical fields, and although of high scholarship they seemed unable to grasp the real significance of the law under which the College was established. Consequently, for the first three or four years the College was little more than a clas¬ sical school with the military feature top-grafted, in order to comply with the provision of the Land Grant Act re¬ quiring the teaching of Military Science. Little thought was given to the leading purpose of the school—to teach those branches of learning related to agriculture and the mechanic arts. The state of affairs soon caused dissatis¬ faction in the student body and resulted in much criticism of the College throughout the state. Dissensions now arose within the faculty and finally, in the summer of 1879, all but two members of the faculty were asked to resign. In November, 1879, the College was turned over to a new faculty with instruc¬ tions to work out a plan of reorganization. The new faculty, headed by Colonel John James as President, presented its plan in July, 1880. They found that the College had been conducted on the university plan of elective studies, and that no real in¬ struction had ever been given in agricul¬ ture and the mechanic arts; on the other hand, it seemed that a sentiment antag¬ onistic to these studies had been fostered, which accounted for its failure to receive the support of intelligent public opinion. It was recommended that the elective system of classical studies be abolished and Academic Building, 1926 Page 21 that a curriculum, four years in length, be substituted in which proper emphasis would be placed on agriculture and the mechanic arts—with enough literary work to give the student a well-rounded educa¬ tion. It was especially urged that the courses in agriculture and the mechanic arts be made highly technical and that the College should under no condition be made a manual labor school, where the student would be turned into an ordinary field hand or mechanic. These recommendations were accepted by the Board of Directors and thus the College embarked upon its real mission. President James and his faculty had a proper appreciation of the importance of agriculture and the industries in the devel¬ opment of the state. During the three years of his administration the College exerted every effort to put this new type of education on a firm basis, with reasonable success, considering the limited development of these fields of knowledge, particularly agriculture. Two courses of study were established—agri¬ culture and mechanics. In the session of 1881-82 there were 41 students in agriculture and 159 in mechanics, the disproportion being due to the more attractive equipment of the mechanical department and to the miscon eption of the true nature and objective of agricultural instruction. President James resigned on April 1, 1882. He was succeeded by H. H. Dinwiddie, Professor of Physics and Chemistry in the College, who was given the title of Chairman of the Faculty. He continued the work of his pred¬ ecessors in building up the two courses of study, giving particular attention to the Agricultural course, which was not popular with the students and being subjected to criticism from the outside. It was also decided to change the courses of study from four years to three years, to give the diploma, but not a degree, upon completion of either course. However, a fourth year would be arranged for any student desiring it, such work leading to one of the three degrees—Bachelor of Science, Civil Engineer, or Mechanical Engineer. Professor Dinwiddie died on December 11, 1887, and was succeeded by L. L. Mclnnis, Professor of Mathe¬ matics, as Chairman of the Faculty. Steady advancement was made in all departments of the College under Chair¬ man Mclnnis, and the student body grew from 211 to 326 in the four years of his administration. The courses of study were again extended to four years, and the degrees of B. S., B. S. A., B. C. E., and B. M. E., replaced those offered previously. New buildings were erected, new equipment was installed, and the College began to feel that a permanent foundation had been laid for a larger measure of service to the s ate. On July 1, 1890, the Presidency of the College was offered to General L. S. Ross, then Governor of Texas. Chairman Mclnnis had resigned to enter the field of banking. After careful deliberation, Governor Ross announced his acceptance of the position, and entered upon his duties in February, 1891. His letter of acceptance was a mas¬ terly document, showing a deep knowledge of the agricultural and industrial needs of the state and the part the college should play in their development. The statesmanship and administrative ability of President Ross was quickly felt in the life of the College. The faculty was improved, courses of study strengthened, and an unusual spirit of harmony pervaded the entire institution. President Ross adopted the policy of ad¬ mitting no more students than the College could properly accommodate, and many students were turned away each year as a result. His remarkable personality, his wide influence and the implicit confidence placed in him by the public generally, soon gave the College a warm place in the hearts of the people of Texas. President Ross died January 3, 1898. Professor R. H. Whitlock, Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, was appointed President pro tern., and the following June Hon. L. L. Foster, a former member of the Board of Directors, was elected President of the College. President Foster assumed his duties on July 1, 1898. Page 22 The attendance continued to increase, and for the fifth conse utive year notices were sent to the papers of the state that no other students could be received. The various Legislatures had been disposed to act favorably on the earnest pleas of the College authorities for increased facilities, but the financial condition of the state seemed always such as to make it neces¬ sary to limit appropriations to the amount required for current expenses. The increased interest in the work of the College was caused, among other things, by the overcrowding of the pro¬ fessions and the rapid development of the industrial life of the country, which af¬ forded an inviting field to thousands of the nation’s finest young men. The students willingly accepted the crowded conditions existing in the College in order to receive the benefits of its instruction. President Foster died in 1902, and Dr. D. F. Houston of the University of Texas was appointed President. During his administration a number of important improvements were made, including a revision of the courses of study in order to provide more thorough technical training. The task of building curricula in courses of this kind had for many years been an experiment and few people knew just what subjects should be included. Among the lines of study which received emphasis were Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Textile Engineering, and in the course in Agriculture, options were offered which enabled the student to special¬ ize in Farm Husbandry, Plant Husbandry and Animal Husbandry. The Texas Textile School was established by an act of the Legislature in 1903, and marked the beginning of the development of the textile industry in the state. President Houston resigned in 1905 to become President of the University of Texas. Dr. H. H. Harrington, Professor of Chemistry in the College, was appointed to succeed Dr. Houston. President Harrington’s administra¬ tion was characterized by a decided increase in the number of students. At the time of his accession to the Presi¬ dency, the enrollment was 411; when he resigned, in 1908, the enrollment had increased to 625. The Legislature failed to provide dormitory facilities for the overflow in the student body and it became necessary to resort to tents to take care of those who could not be accommodated in the regular dormitories. This was the beginning of what became known as “Tent Row,” which occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the College for about seven years. In 1908, Colonel R. T. Milner, who had just served the state for several years as Commissioner of Agricul¬ ture, was appointed president of the College. Colonel Milner’s administration from 1908 to 1913, marked a turning point in the history of the College, as regards increase in equipment and in enrollment, and in expanding and strengthening the teaching staff. Several new buildings for purposes of instruction were erected and the dormitory facilities were largely increased. However, the attendance grew so fast that it was necessary to continue “Tent Row.” The enrollment, which was 639 at the opening of the Session of 1908-09, increased to 1,130 by the end of President Milner’s administration in 1913. This period of five years also witnessed a remarkable growth in interest in the course in Agriculture. In the session of 1912-13 the enrollment in Agriculture exceeded that of all other courses in its history. President Milner resigned in 1913, and Dr. Charles Puryear, Dean of the College, was appointed President pro tern. At this time the College was ex¬ periencing financial difficulties, but through the untiring efforts of Colonel E. B. Cushing, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Dr. Puryear, these difficulties were all overcome by the end of the session 1913-14. In September, 1914, Dr. William Bennett Bizzell, then President of the College of Industrial Arts, was elected President. As a native of the State, educated in Texas institutions, Dr. Bizzell brought to the College a knowl¬ edge of educational conditions in Texas which peculiarly fitted him for the great Page 23 work he was called upon to do in placing the College in the front rank of American educational institutions. In the beginning he announced cer¬ tain policies that would guide him in his administration. Among these were: (1) higher standards of morality, (2) greater religious activity, (3) higher standards of scholarship, (4) proper conduct of athletics, (5) development of the ma¬ terial equipment of the College, and (6) a greater field of usefulness for the College through the Extension Service, the Ex¬ periment Station and resident college in¬ struction. The thorough manner in which these policies have been carried out is well known to all of the friends of the College. The standards of scholarship have been raised so that in this respect the College is now on a par with the best institutions of the country. From the standpoint of material improvement, the ten years of his administration are by far the greatest in this history of the College. In the 38 years previous to the beginning of President Bizzell’s administration the State of Texas ap„- propriated $1,250,000 for buildings and permanent improvements. During the last ten years the amount appro¬ priated for these purposes has been in excess of $2,500,000. At the present time the College has a valuation of approximately $6,000,000, and is the best equipped institution of its kind in the South. The enrollment at the beginning of his administration was 1,219; the enrollment for the session 1924-25 has exceeded 4,000 students, a gain of over 300 per cent. The Agricultural and Mechanical College System of Texas, which includes the resident instruction at College Station and at the two junior colleges, and also the work of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Extension Division, has proved a most important factor in the industrial development of the State. The purpose of the College is well summed up in the excellent definition of an education as given by John Milton in his famous Tractate on Education: “I call, therefore, a complete and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war.” The Agricultural and Mechanical College now offers degrees in fourteen different departments. These degrees cover any phase of Agriculture and Engineering that may be found elsewhere in the State of Texas and many that cannot be found except at A. and M. Besides these two general divisions the School of Arts and Sciences offer courses leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Arts and also one in the natural Sciences. Military Science is taught all the four years of a regular course. With the Military Staff that is maintained there by the U. S. Army, the rating given by the General Board of the U. S. Army Inspectors is second best in the entire country and the largest enrollment of any Military School in the United States. This combination with the numerous other courses puts the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas on a plane with any leading University or College in the entire country. The graduates of this institution are found in every part of the world and in every business that there is; always making good regardless of the existing circum¬ stances or conditions. They are putting into practice the theoretical as well as the practical principles that they were taught in their four years at A. and M. College of Texas. Entrance to College, 1926 Page 24 ADMINISTRATION Page 25 T. O. Walton President Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas Page 26 President’s Message jLfARLY next fall the A. . M. College will reach its fiftieth mile post, and the end of the -W— present session will complete fifty years of consecutive work. Looking back over this half century of the history of the College every friend of education should be gratified with the results attained. From an initial enrollment of one hundred men, the attendance last year reached the high mark of more than twenty-five hundred in the regular session, with an additional twenty-five hundred in the summer session, and with a total for the main institution and the branch institutions of more than five thousand students enrolled during the regular scholastic year. The development of the physical plant, though not adequate to meet the needs, has been sufficient to make possible constructive work. Two branch institutions have been established that are serving the sections of the state in which they are located, as Junior Colleges, while the Industrial Institution at Prairie View for the training of negroes has enjoyed a like satis¬ factory growth and development. There has been established an Agricultural Experiment Station System that has rendered valuable and constructive service to the agricultural and livestock interests of the state through research projects that have been carried to a successful conclusion. Rural home life has greatly profited by the discoveries of the scientists attached to the System. An Engineering Experiment Station has been created that is conducting investigations in this field, and while it has not been properly supported, the discoveries of the scientists have been of value to industry. As the program is enlarged and the station receives greater financial support it will be able to do much more for industry. The Extension Division for extending agricultural and home economics information to the rural people is not only the largest but one of the most efficient organizations of its kind in the Nation. The county and home demonstration agents are carrying the latest and the most constructive information on agricultural and home practices to the people on the farms and through demonstration they are helping them to apply this information to the solution of their problems. During the fifty years of existence of the A. M. College of Texas approximately thirty thousand have enrolled and taken training at the institution. These men have made great contributions to the material, moral and spiritual upbuilding of our great commonwealth. As a result of the contributions of these men our state is immensely more wealthy today than she would have been without these contributions. While the progress has not been as great as most of us would have liked, at the same time the authorities of the institution have, notwithstanding their handicaps, particularly from lack of financial support, builded an institution that is rendering an efficient service to its con¬ stituents. Furthermore, through these fifty years there has grown up a spirit—the spirit of a great educational institution that has gripped the hearts of the men who have been trained here and has attracted to the College and its program men and women from every walk of life. One of the tests of the quality of an educational institution is the position held by men who have secured their training in that institution. In this respect every son of the A. M. College has much to be proud of because wherever they are found, whether it be in their native state, in another state of the Union, or in a foreign land, they fill positions of honor and trust and hold high the principles of right, honesty and honor. We come to the half century mark with fifty years of glorious history behind us and with a bright outlook ahead. Yet the institution will need the cooperation and support of all that great body of men and women who believe in the type of education sponsored by the A. M. College. It is a stable structure but the future depends upon the efforts of those of our citizens, and more especially our ex-students, who realize the value of technical training as a means of fitting men for useful and constructive service. With the cooperation of this body of citizens we may look forv ard to the coming years with confidence and with the certainty of seeing the further development at College Station of an institution that will make larger and larger con¬ tributions to the welfare of our state each succeeding year; an institution whose influence for good will be felt by more of the citizens and of whose accomplishments each man who has a part in the making shall always be proud.

Librarian of the College Commandant oj the Qadets r 11 ' ' HE PRIMARY object of higher education is to produce leaders, men who are qualified to show A the way to the masses. Since the earliest history the human race has looked to its leaders in every line of endeavor. The quality of leadership, though as widely diversified in its application as the lines of activity of the human race itself, is based on certain principles as old as humanity and as unchanging as the flow of time. Human nature does not change. It is the same today as it was the day that Adam, cower¬ ing before his Maker, said “the woman tempted me.” Love, hatred, kindness, cruelty, generosity, selfishness, bravery, cowardice, truthfulness and treachery all are as old as man himself and all will be with us until man is no more. And so long as these are attributes of human character the principles of leadership will not change. The Military Department gives both practical and theoretical instruction in this important sub¬ ject. In fact leadership is the foundation of military science. The student body of A. M. College is organized in a manner intended to give practical experience to each student in leadership and while the methods employed are more strictly applicable to military leadership, it should be remembered that the principles which apply to military leadership are equally applicable to all other forms of leadership. The first lesson in every kind of leadership is obedience, discipline and co-operation. During the present year greater responsibility has been placed upon and necessarily more authority given to the student body than ever before in matters of government and administration. The manner in which you have met these responsibilities and discharged your duties, your spirit of co-operation with the college authorities and with each other, your loyalty and integrity have been most commendable and for such success as our college now enjoys in its efforts to improve the happiness and contentment attending your residence on the campus, the credit is largely yours. May each succeeding year bring you increasing pleasure as new s of their successes causes you to turn these pages and review ' in memory the college days of those who here sought wdth you the first principles of leadership. Page 30 Dean of the (follege and of the Qraduate School Dean Charles Puryear, M. A., C. E., LL. D. HT ' HE GRADUATE SCHOOL was organized in 1924 with its own faculty and dean. Up to iL that time graduate work was administered by the General Faculty, acting through a Committee on Graduate Studies. In the first year of the existence of the Graduate School, there were enrolled sixty-one students, coming from a large number of colleges and universities. For admis¬ sion to the Graduate School, a candidate must be a graduate of an approved institution and must have made a high record in his undergraduate work. Work in residence leads to the degree of Master of Science in Agricultural Administration, Agricultural Education, Agricultural Engineering, Agriculture, Architecture, Chemical Engineer¬ ing, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, and Industrial Education. The professional degrees in Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering are open only to men who have received from this College the degree of Bachelor of Science or Master of Science in an engineering course. The requirements for any one of these degrees include acceptable professional experience, a theses, and an examination. Nominations to scholarships or fellowships are made on the basis of worthiness of character, scholastic attainments, and promise of success in the principal field of study to which the applicant proposes to devote himself. They are made by the Dean of the Graduate School, subject to the approval of the President. Page 31 The School of uTgriculture Dean E. J. Kyle, M. S. A. npHE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE is composed of the following departments: Agricultural JL Economics, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Entomology, Forestry, Genetics, Horticulture, and Poultry Husbandry. In the School of Agriculture there are offered the following courses: Four-year courses in Agriculture, Agricultural Administration, Agricultural Engineering, Landscape Art, and a two-year course, non-collegiate, in Agriculture. The regular four-year course in agriculture has as its main object the preparation of young men for the business of farming, for the pursuit of scientific investigation along some line of agriculture, Agricultural Specialists for the State and Government, for becoming county demonstration agents, or extension workers, and for teaching in the high schools and agricultural colleges. Men who have finished the course in Agricultural Administration will be well equipped to enter general business such as banker or merchant; to administer landed estates, large or small; to serve as county agents and as instructors and research students in economics and commercial subjects; to enter the government work in the field of marketing and statistics; and to serve as agricultural advisers in chambers of commerce, corporations, including railroads. Graduates of the Agricultural Engineering course are prepared for service in the following lines: With the colleges and government in teaching, extension and experiment station work; with manufacturers of farm machinery, gas engines, tractors, other equipment and farm buildings; in advertising, sales and design work and drainage work; and with farm and trade journals. The purpose of the course in Landscape Art is to train the students in the development of out¬ door areas, such as flower gardens, both formal and informal, large and small estates, parks and playgrounds, cemeteries and the surroundings of buildings, private and semi-public, and public. The two-year course in agriculture is intended for young men who wish to spend one or two years in preparing to go back to the farm and apply the more important scientific methods of farming which have been worked out in recent years. To this end the course is made highly practi¬ cal. There are now three judging teams composed of agricultural students who take part annually in national and international contests. This gives students who make the teams an opportunity, without personal expense, to visit northern states and expositions and see the finest there is in all lines of livestock and poultry. Page 32 The School of Arts and Sciences HpHE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES includes the following departments of the College JL Biology, Chemistry, Economics, English, Geology, History, Mathematics, Military Science, Modern Language, Physical Education and Physics. The School of Arts and Sciences provides the necessary fundamental preparation in sciences, languages and mathematics for students pursuing the technical courses in the schools of Agri¬ culture, Engineering, Veterinary Medicine and Vocational Teaching. Practically every student in the College is reached through the work of the departments included in the School. Two courses of study, each covering a period of four years, are offered. The course in Science is intended for students who are interested in biology, chemistry, geology or physics. The im¬ portance of a thorough preparation in the natural sciences as the basis for research work in modern industrial life becomes more evident each day. The state of Texas is just beginning her industrial development and there is an increasing demand for men who are qualified to take over the scien¬ tific phases of industrial life. Geology is assuming a large place in Texas, in view of the great development in the petroleum industry. The course in Liberal Arts is intended for the student who has not made a definite decision in regard to his life work, and who wishes preparation for intelligent citizenship or for advanced study. The important fields of study included in the course of Liberal Arts are English, Economics, History, Mathematics, Military Science and Education, including Physical Education. Students interested in Business Administration can obtain a satisfactory program of work by selecting Economics as their principal field of study. Students in the upper years of the techincal courses in the College are finding many of the advanced subjects offered by the School of Arts and Sciences valuable in rounding out their educa¬ tion. No student should go through a four-year course in Engineering or in Agriculture without including a reasonable amount of work in literature, history and similar subjects. The increasing enrollment in the School of Arts and Sciences is encouraging evidence of its value in the organization of the College. Page 33 The School of (engineering Dean F. C. Bolton, B. S. HT ' HE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING is composed of the departments of Chemical, Civil, JL Electrical, Mechanical, Textile, and Municipal and Sanitary Engineering and Architecture and Drawing. These departments are practically all housed in well constructed buildings designed to meet the office, laboratory, and class room requirements of the respective depart¬ ments. All the departments, except Drawing, offer four-year courses, which branch into various specialized studies, related to that particular field of work. The course in Architecture offers specialization in architectural design and construction; the Chemical Engineering course branches into various fields of Chemical Engineering; the Civil Engineering department offers General Civil Engineering, Highway Engineering, Municipal and Sanitary Engineering; the course in Mechanical Engineering is subdivided to provide for specialization in Power, Industrial, and Railroad Engineering. Two-year courses are offered in Textile Engineering which are designed to prepare the young man for the subordinate positions in cotton manufacturing. The Cotton Marketing and Classing course is designed to prepare for the buying and selling of cotton, and is also of two years duration. Both these courses are of collegiate grade and require the same entrance requirements that the four-year courses do. The foundation for engineering courses are the sciences of mathematics, chemistry, and physics. Upon these are built thorough courses in the fundamentals of engineering accompanied with sufficient practices to link the fields of theory and practice. To these are added courses designed to develop the leader rather than the hireling. The School of Engineering of the college is ninth largest in point of enrollment in the United States, and that the graduates are excellently prepared is shown by the way they are functioning in the industrial world. Their solid foundation has caused them to advance rapidly to positions of responsibility in the engineering world thereby increasing the demand for A. M. graduates on the part of the engineering industries. Page 34 The School of Veterinary TMedicine Dean M. Francis, D. V. M. HpHE FUNDAMENTAL purpose of the School of Veterinary Medicine at A. and M. College JL is to aid in the protection of the eight hundred million dollars which Texas farmers and Texas ranchmen have invested in the livestock of this State. It is estimated that the State suffers an annual loss of about two percent from diseases that could be prevented. To do this most efficiently they must know how to prevent disease as well as how to cure it. This carries with it the need for diligent scientif ic research to gain knowledge, and the intensive practical application of that knowledge after it has been gained. The College has established a four-year course in Veterinary Medicine to train men in the theoretical and practical features of this work. The various branches of study that are taken up are: Veterinary Anatomy, Medicine and Surgery, Pathology, and Physiology and Pharma¬ cology. The courses have been so arranged that the School meets the requirements of the State and Federal regulations as to training and scholarship, and the graduates are eligible for appoint¬ ment in the U. S. Army, the Bureau of Animal Industry, as veterinarians in the State Live Stock Commission, and City Board of Health work. Page 35 WMHMI The School of Vocational Teaching fjT ' HE SCHOOL OF VOCATIONAL TEACHING has one objective—to cooperate with the A other divisions of the College in the preparation of teachers for the schools of Texas. Through the professional courses in Education, students may qualify for elementary and high school teachers’ certificates and special certificates to teach vocational subjects. Graduates of courses in Agricultural and Industrial Education meet the requirements of the State and Federal Boards for Vocational Education to teach vocational agriculture and the trades under the Smith-Hughes Act. As indicated in the Fiftieth Catalogue, certain courses in Industrial Education are available to groups of teachers and tradesmen away from the College, thus making it possible for the student to complete his course in three years of residence. Special courses for teachers, principals and superintendents of both the elementary and high school are offered by the Department of Rural Education. In compliance with the State Teachers Certificate Law, a student in this course may qualify (1) for a “four-year elementary school cer¬ tificate,” upon the completion of one year of college work, (2) for a four-year high school certificate upon the completion of two years of college work, (3) a permanent high school certificate upon the completion of the four-year course. The Training School on the campus, with an enrollment of 350 pupils, is used as a laboratory for practice teaching. Page 36 The Extension Service C. H. Alvord, M. S. A. Director HT ' HE EXTENSION DIVISION of the College has supervision of the work of the county farm JL agents and home demonstration agents, located in the various counties of the State of Texas. There are, at present, one hundred and sixty county farm agents and ninety home demon¬ stration agents, supervised by eighteen district agents. In addition to the district agents there are in the organization fourteen subject-matter specialists. Two women have charge of the work of the home demonstration agents and three men look after the work of the men agents, including the club agents. The Director has supervision of the entire organization and represents the College in its co-operative relationship in Extension Work with the United States Department of Agri¬ culture. Avery large percentage of the employees in the Extension Work are college graduates. In employ¬ ing county agents, preference is always given to graduates of the A. and M. Colleges, who have qualified themselves by advanced study or practical experience on a farm to assume a position as county agent. The. county agent must not only be well trained in scientific agriculture, but must be naturally a good leader. It is a hard job to carry the work of the College to the country and sell it to the farm people. The qualities of salesmanship that make a man a successful county agent is an abounding faith in the importance of the work he is endeavoring to do, tact in meeting trying situa¬ tions and unlimited patience and perseverance in overcoming difficulties. The county agent must be able to organize a good plan of work for his county and interest other people in helping him put the plan into practice. Those qualities of leadership that are developed among students will prove of great value to the county agent, when he is assuming the important position of a leader in agriculture thought in the county in which he may be situated. Page 37 The Experiment Station B. Youngblood, Ph.D. Director npHE TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION SYSTEM is one of the co- JL ordinate major divisions of the College, and its function is agricultural research. Organized upon modest lines on January 25, 1888, the System now comprises a Main Station at College Station with 18 divisions of effort with their related indoor laboratories and experimental plats, and 15 substation farms, or outdoor field laboratories, located in the several agricultural regions of the State; and in addition there is the State Agricultural Research Laboratory, with four corre¬ lated bee outyards, and the Loin Disease Research Field Laboratory. The Station System is contributing in a large measure to the general store of agricultural knowledge used in the classroom and disseminated to the people of the State through the resident teaching and the extension branches of the College. General principles developed from bodies of facts are useful, but the chief supply 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 information is subsequently incorporated in textbooks as the basis of educa¬ tion in agriculture. The Station System renders service to farmers, stockmen, and agriculture in general, through the distribution of newly introduced or developed strains of animals and valuable plants. Another class of service is the dissemination of principles which are useful to farmers and stockmen and of value in the development of the agricultural resources-of the State. There has been a gradual increase in the amount of public support which the Station System has received as the results of its researches have become available and have been found to be of service to agricultural enterprise, with the result that the organization has grown in public favor proportionately with the gradual increase in efficiency with which agricultural knowledge is developed and disseminated throughout the population of the commonwealth. Page 38 Business -JhCanager of the Qollege W. Wipprecht, B. S. A. r II ' ' HE TREASURER’S OFFICE of the A. M. College of Texas was reorganized September, 1L 1914, and the present Fiscal Department was the result. The functions and activities were increased considerably and the accounting system was modernized to provide proper facilities to take care of the rapidly growing institution. A complete purchasing division was organized through which all major purchases are made, thus giving the College an increased purchasing power. The finances were at a low ebb when the Treasury office was reorganized and the College credit was not what it should have been. This was rapidly changed under the general supervision of Dr. W. B. Bizzell, president at that time. The expenditures were carefully scrutinized and con¬ trolled and a surplus accumulated so that during the year that the state treasury was on a de¬ ficiency the College took care of all of its purchases on a cash basis and carried its own warrants. Accommodations were provided for students to deposit and draw their funds on the same basis as with regular banking institutions. This branch has grown to such proportions that the time of two men is now required for that service. The College attendance increased during these eleven years from approximately nine hundred and fifteen students in the session of 1914-1915 to two thousand three hundred and ninety-nine in the session of 1924-1925. The total amount of money passing through the Fiscal Department 1914-1915 was $694,226.40, while in 1924-1925 it was $2,718,306.75. Page 39 librarian of the Col lege T. F. Mayo, M. A. nr ' HE PURPOSE of the College Library is to stimulate, and to some extent satisfy, the curiosity JL which is aroused in the students of A. and M. Since it serves a technical school, it must of course build up gradually a sound collection of technical books. But its principal effort is to make available and attractive to students such liberalizing books—novels, poetry, plays, and non-technical works on natural science, social questions, philosophy, and psychology—as will help them in their attempt to construct a sane and satisfying theory of life. For every man worth edu¬ cating has the impulse, sooner or later, to construct such a theory that will be his own and not mere hearsay, and any education worth taking must help him to do so. The statement that Texas A. and M. cadets do a very large amount of “outside reading’’— independent of their courses, and of a serious nature, will probably surprise the cadets themselves, who hold an unnecessarily modest opinion of their own intellectual breadth. Yet the statement is true nevertheless, being based on statistics gathered from about ten of the chief technical colleges of the country. Although serious reading is perhaps not good form among A. and M. cadets considered as a group, yet considered as individuals, very many of them—most of them, in fact— have minds open to ideas which are new to them. Meanwhile the library, unavoidably cramped as it is in a few rooms of the Administration Building, is of course unable to accomplish this task adequately. Every student undoubtedly will realize that there is urgent need for a Library Building and will use whatever influence he has to hasten its coming. Where students are so ready to receive and the Library so eager to give, it is hard that the necessary material facilities should be withheld.

And they entered into the gates of that stronghold and became as one in the great brotherhood of men that live in that place. Now these men were known to the rest as freshmen, and there were full eight hundred of them. And it was their duty to serve their superiors and elders in every way, even unto the most menial services thereof. And many were the amusements offered to the fish by their superiors in return for the services; yea, even so were they permitted nights to roam the wilds of the surrounding lands and provinces, having not the wherewithal to lay their head to rest. And they were at all times happy, though the killers of fish did swing with great frequency and much power. And it came to pass that in this year we saw the passing of one of the oldest, yea, the oldest of the customs, of the men of the Aggies. The Junior Banquet period came, and we waxed sore afraid that we might be caught on the final night, but lo! in the gathering darkness of twilight, we fled from the approaching disaster into the woods and fields of the prov¬ ince. And the heavens poured forth with great intensity, and the fish were like unto be drowned, yet they labored and came forth safe with the morning sun. And as the end of the year ap¬ proached, the timbers began to fall with greater frequency, and the fish were sore of body, but strong of mind. But the day arrived when we were to return to the homes of our fathers. And many were the goodbyes, and many were the tears shed by the Seniors of that year. And the men chosen as the pharisees and guides of our band were as follows: S. M. Kyle, president; N. J. Dansby, vice-president; W. M. Pinson, secretary-treasurer, and M. B. Killian, historian. And lo! when we had come safely through this year, we looked back and saw two champion¬ ships, one in the sport called basket ball and the other in that called cross-country. And so also did we see the Aggie hordes triumph over the bands of the steers, in the land of the Capital City- And in this battle, we saw the mighty Steer smitten low and he was given over into our hands. Now when the time came once more, when the leaves of the trees grew divers colors, and the animals of the forests and the beasts of the fields betook themselves to their lairs for their winter of rest, we again gathered and drew high unto the land of the Aggie. And there were great re¬ joicings over seeing old friends and there were many tears shed over the loss of some of the tribe. And lo! when the first night that precedeth the Sabbath day did fall upon the college of the Farmers it came to pass that the fish were aired out, and this was very disobedient and dis¬ respectful in the eyes of the Lord Commandant, and he sent forth his armies and his bands to take us in. And then were slain in this mighty battle, and nigh on to fifty were stricken with wounds. But we were not disheartened and we strived to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors, and we brought up the lowly fish in truly wonderful manner. And throughout the year the scribes and pharisees did pain themselves much with false writings in their papers concerning the hazy ideas at the Aggie stronghold. And when the time came for the annual banquet of the Juniors, they were not allowed to have it and thus were we kept from having a wonderful fight for it was ever the privilege of the sophomores to have two weeks to fight the class just above. But the year passed, and we were glad, for we had been a jinx to the athletics of the school, and no cham¬ pionships had been won, and we were sore afraid for the coming season. And those elected to be the chiefs of our band in that year were: W. F. Munnerlyn, president; J. G. Ross, vice-president; J. L. Wilson, secretary-treasurer; and J. T. Gilbert, historian. And when the time had come once more for us to gather together our herds and household belongings, we did so and journeyed to the province of the Busters of the Sod which is nigh unto the district of Bryan. And we entered the gates for the third time and we were known as Juniors. But when we had called the roll, we found that we had lost many score of our first number those who had been with us as fish. And we labored hard that year that we might become Seniois in Page 95 the next. With the passing of the days in the autumn of the year, we again saw the tribes of the other lands triumph over us in our athletics and sorely did we realize that only one more chance did remain for us to see a band of the Aggie win the championship that we all so coveted. And on through the spring season of the year did we see our bands go down in defeat before the on¬ slaughts of the other tribes. But the time came when the year was at an end, and we clamored with a great noise and much oratory for our rights, namely the Junior Banquet. But the lords of the province sat in meeting and it was given forth that there was to be no Banquet of the old form. Yet we prevailed and set up a form which we hoped to be the custom in the days to come. Yea, we had a banquet! Even so did we have the Junior Prom. And the people came from far and wide for the festivities, and much was the joy and the merriment. And we had to lead us through that year the following chieftains: W. M. Pinson, president; G. E. Garrett, vice-president; Arthur Bayless, secretary-treasurer; and A. J. Longley, historian. And when the year had drawm to a close we did embark upon the fiery horses of the S. P. and the E G. N. and go to the many places where we were to spend the next six weeks in the camp of our great Uncle Sam. And we labored hard at polishing and drilling and firing, until finally, the end of the period came and we returned to the land of our fathers to stay for the remainder of the heated season. Once more came the fall of the year, and once more did we gather up our possessions to go forth from our domiciliary abodes to the land of the Aggie. And lo! we were Seniors, and were chosen to lead the student body and to rule over them. And at the first of the year we selected the following men to lead the class in its many trials and tribulations: Jack Williams, president; J. D. McGuire, vice-president; F. S. Kelly, secretary-treasurer, and S. W. T. Lanham, historian. And when the class had gathered in meeting, there was much discussion as to the bands of dis¬ senters that had sprung up among us, namely the secret fraternities. And throughout the year was there much discussion about them. But lo! in this year we saw that which we had never seen. The bands of the Aggie did go forth to battle and they did return victorious over all both in football and in the sport known as cross-country. And we were glad, and joy reigned supreme in Aggieland for it was the first championship in football that we had seen. And we feasted and made merry for many days, even late into the nights thereof. And in this year which is our last we did rule wisely and well over those below us, and we did intercede in their behalf whenever we deemed it necessary. But the time has come when we must leave this land and go forth into the world known as that of business, and in the common speech of the rabble, are we on the “last go-round.” We are happy at the thought of having reached a point nearer maturity, but also are we sad at having to give up the many things that have brought to us happiness and joy throughout the years that we have been at the College. Yea, the thought of leaving our many friends and the places where we wandered for four full years does fill our eyes nigh full of tears, and our hearts are full of hope that we may again journey to the land of the Aggie and see the places that are so dear to our hearts.

Wichita Falls Page 113 yunior Class History A S September 15, 1923, approached, eight hundred of the greenest “Fish” that ever came to A. and M. began to drift into College Station from all parts or this great State. It was absolutely necessary that these boys become “Fish,” for without being such they surely would have drowned. Their first impression of the College was gotten in a mist, and from then on the motto was: “When it rains it pours.” Very soon after the beginning of school all of the “Fish” assembled, for a get-together meet¬ ing, at the A. H. Pavilion where a welcome was extended to them by the “Y,” and later by the Sophomores. At another meeting A. J. Farmer was elected president of the Freshman Class. During this year some improvements were made in the living conditions of the students. The appropriations were large enough to allow the “Sheiks” to be converted into the well-known “Hollywood;” however, as many can testify, there was still room for improvement. The school work, together with the football season, made the first term of the school year pass very quickly. The second term, however, became a long struggle against Spring Fever, the monotony of which was broken only by the several athletic seasons. When June 3rd finally arrived, the class realized that the best year of school was, at last, over. As the summer holidays drew to a close most of the boys became anxious to get back to Aggieland! but it was with sadly depleted ranks that the old class entered its Sophomore year. This year “Spike” Arnold was elected to the office of President. It seemed that the appropriations had become somewhat larger this year, making possible the construction of the Assembly Hall. The Memorial Gymnasium was also built and properly dedicated by the Aggie quintet, when they defeated the Longhorns 20-14. As Sophomores the class of ’27 did not take part in any of the festivities of the banquet held by the Junior Class; but they will have a lasting remembrance of the “Fish” banquets. At the finish of the Sophomore year the class realized that they had never witnessed a conference champ¬ ionship; but upon their return to College in the fall of 1925, ample reparations were made by the annexing of two championships, one in cross-country and the other in football. This year of 1925-26 seemed to be the year in which history was to be made, and the 28-0 victory over the Longhorns will go down on the first page. “Buck” Edgar was chosen to lead the class through its third year of school. As his assistants the following were chosen: Sam Brewster, vice-president; Jerry Lee, secretary-treasurer, and Jake Appleman, historian. The Juniors do not have many “T” men in their ranks, but the ones who have lettered have done much for the athletic traditions of A. and M. The Juniors who have their “T” are: “Mit” Dansby, “Punk” Baker, Hollis Tucker, Elme r Wooldridge, “Spike” Arnold, Irvin Webb, H. J. McKenzie, “Red” Brock, “Red” Scheuneman, H. A. Hillin, L. C. Bell, W. E. Anderson, K. R. Macy, “Johnnie” Crump, “Ironman” Woodman, Philip Price, and Bill Barce. As the Junior Class look back over this year, which marks the fiftieth anniversary of the school, they recall the resigning of Dr. W. B. Bizzell, who had been president of this institution for eleven years, and the entering of our “Fish Prexy,” Mr. T. O. Walton. The Juniors are now looking forward with great expectations, to the occurrence of two events. They are: The Summer Camp, and the time when they will be, not Juniors, but Seniors receiving their “Sheepskins.” Page 114 , ■- ' ■ • SOPHOMORES � co 101 ' Page 115 Sophomore Qlass History ITN THE early autumn of September, 1924, the class of ’28—as green a class of freshmen as ever entered college— drifted into Aggieland from far and near, silently wondering at the joyous reunions of the upperclassmen. They longed to know these men and although they were not aware of the fact, the meeting was not to be indefinitely postponed; for in those days “bull pens” were many, and “fish killers ” hung over every door. The fish were im¬ mediately taken in hand by the “old boys” and introduced to a system of training from which they emerged true Aggies. At the first class meeting the follov ing officers were elected: C. B. Maufrais, President; S. S. Woodland, Vice- President; F. R. Carpenter, Secretary-Treasurer; A. H. Peoples, Historian. The fish of ’28 numbered some eight hundred in all, and from their ranks rose outstanding men in all branches of college activities. Many of them were distinguished in scholarship and athletics. Although the Fish Banquet was a greatly restricted affair and the Junior Banquet had become a tradition of the past, the fish weathered plenty of hair-raising events, including the rebellion of the Cavalry, and “airing outs” galore. With the closing of the year came the end of a great chapter in the lives of every member of the class. Many of the t hings dear to them as freshmen were gone forever. They were no longer the lowly fish, but the high-rating, arrogant sophomores, and had fish of their own to educate. Hardly realizing the responsibility of the task before them and greatly handicapped by regulations and restrictions, they set out to instill in their “Fish” the spirit of the Aggie. They intended to earn a name for themselves and to attain the goal of their ambitions, and it cannot be said that they have done less. It was in this year that a great Aggie eleven won the Southwestern Conference Championship by defeating Texas 28 to 0; and of the men on this team, two, J. V. Sikes and O. J. Hunt, were members of the class of ’28. Hunt was given a berth on nearly all of the mythical All-Southwestern Elevens, and Sikes carved his niche in the hall of fame by intercepting a pass and running eighty-five yards for a touchdown against Texas. Other Sophomores on the Aggie squad were: J. A. Rektorik, S. Utay, H. S. Woodland, W. D. Willis, H. P. Wylie, W. S. Lister, R. E. Turner, A. C. Sprott, and J. A. Deffebach. The Sophomores were also represented on the Conference Championship cross¬ country team by A. B. Childres, and on the basket ball team by J. V. Sikes and S. A. Clark. This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the College, and it marks an epoch in the history of Aggieland. The year started with a “Fish” President, a “Fish” commandant, and a brand new “Fish” class; and it has been a bumper one for the Sophomores. At the beginning of the second term the following class officers were elected: J. S. Mey, Presi¬ dent; T. A. Kincaid, Vice-President; J. J. Sloan, Secretary ' -Treasurer; R. M. Babcock, Historian. In our Junior and Senior years, fellow classmates, let us strive to achieve bigger and better things; the things that will make us better men; the things that will further the interests of Aggieland and cause people to have a pro¬ found respect for us and for our school.

A. Simmons President Vice-President Z. W. Bartlett Walter Schutze Secretary- T reasurer Historian HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS Hl HIS YEAR’S “Fish” class contained a larger variety of “Fish” than any other “Fish” JL class in the history of the School. On September 16, 1925, “Fish” Turner, “Fish” Walton and the rest of us “Fish” turned over a new leaf in the book of life and started the best year that A. and M. College has ever known. On historic “College Nite” we were initiated into the famous yelling Cadet Corps of A. and M. We learned of the traditions of the College, and experienced the thrill of hearing “Wildcat.” We soon realized what college spirit really meant and we determined to do our part in being loyal cadets. “College Nite” “Bull Pens” “Cushless Days” and “Fish Fights” will always be remembered as memorable events of our “Fish” year. Through the enthusiastic work of Coach Bender and his associates we have had a very successful season in football. We were greatly pleased with Coach Bender’s new system of coaching. Every freshman with athletic ability was given a good chance to show it. Out of the hundred that tried for the squad twenty-six received numerals. These were: L. D. Atkins, Z. W. Bartlett, W. E. Berry, G. W. Brown, Roy Biffle, J. J. Bisango, H. E. Burgess, J. H. Cuthrell, W. E. Davis, J. H. Dodge, C. M. Flory, W. K. Holleran, J. G. Holmes, J. Konechny, A Y. Lewis, G. S. McClellan, D. H. O’Neill, S. J. Petty, R. W. Pickett, H. E. Randle, C. E. Rirter, W. C. Rogers, J. A. Simmons, H. G. Swift, D. E. Thornall and N. G. Wren. After nine months of life at A. and M. we have grown to be a part of Aggieland. We are now solidly settled, endeavoring to raise the ideals of A. and M. We are working to prepare ourselves for the battle of life and making friends who will be with us for the rest of our days. Page 120 Freshman Qlass Foil Abernathy, R. G. Adams, E. V. Adriance, G. W.

HEN the college threw open its doors on the morning of October 4, 1876, six professors were greeted by an equal number of stu¬ dents. It was at this time that deer ran unmolested on the campus or rather the college prairies they were then. In the winter the scream of the puma often startled the sentries on guard. These diffi¬ culties did not seem to affect the enrollment, for by the end of the first term the school had become very popular. Major R. P. W. Morris was commandant and mili¬ tary instructor. His course of training consisted of setting-up exercises, bayonet and artillery drills, and marching in single file (the raw recruits frequently stepping on each other’s heels). Corps in 1892 The foundation of the corps, as we know it today, was built upon the shoulders of these few students. Sons of lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers, ministers, teachers, and the like had come from all parts of the state to receive military instruction. To Major Morris must be given the credit for a good foundation upon which has been built a cadet corps that now ranks as one of the finest in the land. The popularity of the school brought an increased attendance, but it was also very detri¬ mental. Students were crowded three and four in a room, and there was much dissatisfaction. Mothers and fathers throughout the state thought that military training would be beneficial to wayward sons. As a result the corps was soon populated with a gang of roughnecks who caused the officials very much trouble. Disputes between officers and cadets frequently arose. Permission was granted to settle these disputes by fist fights. Although this did not seem to be according to military tactics, it served the purpose. Thus it was that only the co-operation of the better class of students and the faculty served to carry the school through a severe crisis. In 1877 Captain S. T. Olmsted was made instructor of Military Science and Practice. There were enough students to organize four companies; so four men were chosen for the positions of captains. The writer regrets that he was unable to secure the names of these first men. From this meager beginning has come the corps of today, now numbering twenty-two companies. As the years passed the attendance increased, but the cadets were all assigned to four companies. In 1905 M. S. Church, now a prominent lawyer of Dallas, received the appointment of Cadet Major, the first in the history of the school. Of course, the necessary commissioned and non-commissioned officers were appointed to make the battalion organization complete. By 1911 the corps had grown so large that it was necessary to form a complete corps organization. H. M. Pool was appointed the first Cadet Colonel and G. E. Sandford the first Cadet Lieutenant- Colonel. The corps at this time consisted of three battalions of four companies each. Until 1918 the organization remained practically the same with the exception of two years when there were two regiments of six companies each. Then came that great conflict which for a time changed entirely the organization and the activities of the students at A. and M. The primary object of the R. O. T. C. is to provide systematic military training at civil educational institutions. Immediately following our en¬ trance into the war, the college facilities were turned over to the government. Those seniors whose class standing was satisfactory were graduated upon the recommendation of the faculty. Two thousand men were trained here by college professors, juniors, and some few army officers. During the war forty-nine per cent of all the men who had graduated from this institution were fighting for the Stars and Stripes. Trees and tablets all around the campus tell the story of Page 126 History and Traditions of the Qadet Qorps—Qontinued those who gave their lives that others might live, and a service flag in Guion Hall shows the total number of students actually en¬ gaged in the conflict of war. After the armistice men returned to col¬ lege, but it was not until 1919 that college life again became normal. We are and should be justly proud of our war record. Today the corps consists of some 1,700 cadets banded together in twenty-two companies. All branches of the service are taught by military instructors sent here every three years by the War De¬ partment. The old cadet-gray uniforms have been discarded, and war times. Corps in 1915 in its place has been substituted the khaki, emblematic of Why is it that the corps is such a strong factor in A. and M. college life? Like the British empire the spirit of the corps has been built on traditions—the unwritten laws that are held sacred by all Aggies. “Hey, Fish! C’mere! Grab that suitcase! Why, hello Bill, how are you? What did you do all last summer? Come on, let’s go up to Bizzell Hall.” A typically modern September morning has been pictured above, but this condition was not to be found fifty years ago. Being typical Americans, it is but natural that we form customs and traditions not provided for by the state or the college officials. From 1877 until the present time a fish has been introduced to A. and M. College in essen¬ tially the same way. As the years roll by it is pleasant to recall so many familiar memories of early fish days. One ex-student has wisely said: “The terror of that first day, exceeded only by the terrors of that first night. The worst came with the darkness! Some of us slept in the seed house by the depot; others were afraid to sleep at all, but we all bowed in submission to the army belt.” It is these first few days, the rugged discipline, and the many bull pens that are afterward so cherished by graduates, and that make an A. and M. man an A. and M. man forever. The class of 1895 was the first ever to hold a Junior Banquet. “The Olio,” the first college annual, gives this account: “Nothing was considered too good or expensive and exceedingly extravagant preparations were made for its success. In the parlors of Hotel de Sbisa were gathered the beauty and chivalry of the state.” Later banquets were held at which only the stronger sex were allowed. Sophomores for many years threatened to capture the Junior toast¬ masters, but a threat was all that ever materialized. Juniors, fearless and bold, proudly an¬ nounced the name of their toastmasters until 1912. Four cartoons in the Longhorn of 1912 briefly tell the story of the first successful capture of the Junior toastmaster. A Sophomore called the victim aside and told him that a young lady was calling him on the telephone. As he rounded a fence corner several sophomores bound him hand and foot and carried him to the woods, where they left him. Several hours afterward a farmer came along and the toastmaster was released. He returned to the college but was too late for the banquet. Thereafter until 1923, with very few intervening years, the sophomores tried to catch the toastmaster, but the class of T7 alone was successful. The fights each year served to cement friendship between the classes and it brought each member of the two classes into intimate contact with the other mem¬ bers. Faculty action discarded the old banquet, and we Seniors of ’26 are proud that we (no, not saw the last old-time banquet), but that we were close by—some eight or ten miles—when the last fight occurred. The classes of today are turning to the original form of banquet—one with fair ladies, elaborate decorations, and no class fights. The Romeos of today have a distinct advantage over those of the past. Former students give thanks to the college officials for providing a means of escape from the buildings. Sentinels Page 127 History and ' Traditions oj the Qadet Qorps—Qontinued guarded all exits, that is all legal ones; but it seems as though they forgot that lightning rods were a good means of escape. Anyway, the Romeos used this one, but still other difficulties had to be over¬ come by these said men. A favor¬ ite trick of old was to wire securely the gates so that Romeos return¬ ing from Bryan at night entangled themselves in the wire. Today we, I mean they, have no such trouble. Modern-day Aggies have prob¬ ably never heard of the cane rushes that used to be popular about twenty-five years ago. The rush always occurred in late February or early March, and the object was to have a freshman carry a cane from the old band stand, which stood near Ross Hall, to the Main Building. This attempt was resisted by the sophomores. As these rushes were very destructive, they were prohibited by faculty action after a few years. Until 1890 chapel services were held every morning after reveille. It might be interesting to note that the “Olio” indicated no drills during January and February on account of severe cold weather. As late as 1914 guard mounts were held immediately after breakfast. Men were posted in the dormitories during meal formations. Students thought it much fun to slip out of the windows of chapel when the sentinels were not looking. Here let me say the sentinels made it their business not to look. A picnic was given to the upperclassmen by the fish, and this was the beginning of the present- day fish banquet. However, it was not until about 1917 that the fish became bold enough to apply the strap to the upperclassmen. Every year seems to add to the intensity of application, and it is only a question of time until we see what this year’s class holds in store for us. About fifteen years ago the entire corps slung equipment and started on the annual hike to the Brazos. This was a time for many to feign sickness, but the doctor was wise and no one was able to play any April Fool tricks on him. The purpose of this march was to relieve the monotony of school life and to put into practice principles taught in the class room. Tents were pitched, and on the second day a sham battle was fought. Everyone had fun and were reluctant to return to the drollery of school life. The standpipe was first decorated with a class numeral in 1917 by members of that class. However, it must be stated that the commandant’s idea of decoration proposed by the students; so that in a day the numeral was removed. But the standpipe and water-tower bear class numer¬ als from T8 to the present fish class of ’29. It is needless to state that following the sign on the tower the fish seem to have a craving for the wildwoods and the fields. They also lose their taste for “cush.” Since the early years the captains of various organizations have been awarded with some token by members of their companies as a mark of respect and appreciation for the work con¬ tributed during the year. The captain has in turn awarded a medal to the best drilled man in his company. Seniors, as the time for that Final Review and the parting of the ways draws nigh, do you wonder just what we have contributed to the school? Have we set any precedents or have we sought to teach others in a better manner than we were taught? Can we say that we set any precedent for others to follow? Classmates, I beg of you to hold sacred the memory of the old Elephant Walk, and to cherish the memories of those many nights we spent in exploring the countryside. There never was such a grand present, and if prospects are an indication, there will certainly be a bright future. Page I2.S Lieutenant-Colonel F. H. Turner, Inf. (D. 0. L.)

Six W?eks at Fort Crockett ' OO THIS is Fort Crockett” thought we Infantry Juniors as we unloaded from the trucks which had brought us out from Galveston late in the evening of the same day on which the hinal Review had been held at College Station. Very few of us, during those next six weeks, again thought of the fort without immediately thinking of several highly-seasoned, unmention¬ able adjectives strongly descriptive thereof. After a long-delayed supper and a short night spent on canvas cots shaped muchly like sine curves, we were awakened the next morning at an extremely uncollegiate hour by a noise sounding like a free-for-all fight in the mess hall but emanating from the ‘‘Head-ache Band” of the 9th Infantry. Yes, awakened to gaze out upon a drill field as wide as the Gulf of Mexico and longer than GX Company could double-time, and to realize that life in a barracks bag held no rest for we weary goldbrickers. From reveille at 5:30 until supper at six, our days became like unto Thursday mornings of the past, only more so. While taking setting-up exercises under Lieutenant Baer, parading before Colonel McCleave and Major Blauvelt, drilling here, there, yonder and back, and even while sleeping through after-dinner lectures, we sweated our weekly O. D. We were always looking forward to that period of involuntary athletics, late in the afternoons, when most of us headed for the Gulf to mingle with the other jelly-fishes and sand-crabs. Thus days and days of drill were followed by more days of drill, close-order drill and extended- order drill, while ten-minute rest periods dwindled until the commands ‘‘Fall out” and ‘‘Fall in” were separated only by an injunction to ‘‘Clean rifles for inspection.” We were being limbered up for a great event that is destined to live as long in our memories as does the spark of life in our mortal bodies. Then came the days of the practice march, two days of blistered feet and sore shoulders, joy-rides in the ambulance for those fortunate ones who fell by the wayside, and two days on the S Road and the West Beach and a night on the Ideal Campsite. Some few of us were lucky enough to draw guard duty on the same day of our return; we had to earn our seventy cents a day. After a week of practice sighting and bolt manipulation, we were taken to the range which had a bountiful supply of ‘‘Windmill” targets. These were days of few bulls-eyes and many red flags after nights at Joe’s and of much fun, pushing the targets while the temperature was 110 degrees in the shade and nothing in the shade but the temperature. Old Jupiter Pluvius saw fit to visit us on several occasions, and he was well received by all except those on guard duty. On “Goatless” days we exchanged all potent wool shirts for clean ones as fresh, in com¬ parison, as the sweet-scented honey-suckle blossoms. The fourth of July fell on a Saturday, and we spent our usual Saturday afternoon off with a glorious parade down the boule¬ vard. There was once a day when he who said: “There will be a boat ride tonight” did not tell a rumor, the fatal day on which Captain Carr decided that if A1 could dance on a broken leg, he could also drill. Came the last day of camp—that was all there was to that. Page 169 Signal C or P s Summer Camp A FTER the Final Review, the members of the Signal Section were entrained for San Antonio, Pxl. the city of mystery and romance. We arrived there at night and were rushed under the cover of darkness by means of finely-cushioned motor busses to those palatial barracks at Fort Sam Houston. After eating our supper of cheese and onion sandwiches, we no longer wondered at the fighting spirit of the American soldier. We were then put to bed and asleep by our silver-vmiced ' Lieutenant singing that never ending song: Lights out and can the bull pen.” Immediately after a breakfast which brought back sad memories of Sbisa’s we were marched to a long wooden shack. This we entered, a happy and military bunch—proud that we were members of Colonel Todd’s Army of the Brazos. We emerged looking like a bunch of rookies. These self-same uniforms would have made a Mexican Revolutionist weep with shame. Some even said that a smile passed across Colonel DeWitt’s face when he saw the future officers of the army. After our medical examination, we were introduced to the life which proved to be the source of our joys and sorrows for the next six weeks. Each of us was soon leading the life of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, studying by day the mysteries of signal communication and by night indulging in real collegiate life. The first few days were spent doing buzzer work and watching the artillery cadets take reveille exercises. Our field work consisted in laying communications for mythical divisions and brigades over most of the cactus area surrounding Ft. Sam. It was not long before we were praying for a government issue of leather pants for our field work among the cactus and briars. We shall never forget our frequent rides on the reel carts and some of our long sweet walks back to head¬ quarters after our wild steeds had gotten away from us. We had peace and quiet during the three weeks that the artillery and infantry spent at Bullis and Stanley. It was left for the signal corps to bring up the Baylor Medicos in the grand old way. We were very fortunate to participate in the big sham battle staged by the Second Division at Fort Sam Houston. The monotony of camp life was broken by the frequent athletic contests. Competition was staged in volley ball, tug-of-war and baseball. Battery BX won the baseball and volley ball championship while our own company won the tug-of-war contest. We ask you who had the biggest pull at camp? And we answer for you: We did. As usual we all were stars when it came time to dance. The last week of camp was one which will furnish material for the stories we are sure to tell our own little Aggies. It was during these last few days that the real Aggie spirit prevailed and friendships were cemented. Somehow the ever-present yearning for Aggieland was never so great as when at the last dance the converted Post Orchestra played that old familiar war hymn: Good-bye to Texas.” Page no C lieniiniscences of a High Flier N THE evening of June 2nd we arrived in the Alamo City—where “Sunshine Spends the Winter.” Before our departure we were fully convinced that most of it remained over for the summer. We were taken from the depot directly to Brooks, our home to be for the next six weeks. The first two days were spent in drawing equipment and getting accustomed to our new environment. After these two days of extensive barracks flying and bunk looping, we were given our first taste of altitude. Some few were seasoned pilots after this hop, but most of us were sure that we would be more at home “Down on the Farm.” Monday following our work started. Our mornings we spent in the air and our work con¬ sisted of sketching, reconnaissance, navigation, handling the plane, radio, and general observa¬ tion. We spent the afternoons in the class room or in the machine shop. We are thankful that Wednesday afternoons are half-holidays in the army. It would be impossible to give a detailed account of how our evenings were spent, but we do recall the following: We wonder who gave Bodine the name of “Billie,” and why “Kee Watt” Irwin was so anxious to visit New Braunfels after one night at the Tokio. After a few short days—exciting though—J. A. Hogue left us for the peace and quiet of the base hospital at Fort Sam Houston. We missed him greatly and were very glad to have him back with us, as healthy and as happy as ever for the last few days of camp. His operation for appendicitis was successful. George “Loudecker” Eppright did not enjoy the first few days at camp; but after locating Dutch Charlie’s place and talking over the condition of the Old Country (Manor), he was well satisfied. Heard any time during the day: “W. L. Phillips wanted at the telephone.” It surely must be fine to have a “Cousin” so greatly interested in one. Birds of a feather flock together. Coloumbers Carlson and Lipscomb even going so far as to fall for the same co-ed. We thought that “Red” would surely be the victor, but “Lip” with his smooth talk and S3.98 completely “whipped” him out. Did you ever get all “dolled up” to give the fair ladies in New Braunfels a treat? On going out to your plane, did your pilot inform you that you would not set foot on terra firma, instructing you to wear your cover-alls? F. B. “Hawkshaw” Stuart and M. E. “Swede” Tillery did. We understand that some of the fellows were so well pleased with San Antonio that they intend to try to get work there after June 1, 1926. C. W. Johnson seems to have things pretty well lined up for a life-time job. W. H. “Bill” Knotts showed up so well at flying that he was given special instructions in the mechanisms of aeroplanes, the air pump and booster. Some fellows seem to have all the luck. The first night “Huck” Sawyer, “Pud” Guyer, and P. D. Long were in town they were invited to the city hall. At least that is what they called it. Those who were lucky enough to attend the R. O. T. C. picnic at New Braunfels had a very enjoyable time. We have been trying to get “Hawkshaw” Stuart to give us all the dope about “Swede” Tillery and the swimming pool with its wonderful waterfall. We wonder why G. W. “Forkhander” Stinnett was in such a hurry to leave camp that he left part of his clothes, and what was L. C. Ingram thinking about the night he stepped in the watermelon rind which had been purposely left there. It is still a mystery why S. A. Debnam spent so much time in San Antonio. Who is she, Deb? We still think that “Huck” Sawyer and “Red” Carlson should have let Johnnie Hinton buy the automobile that ran without gasoline. Norman “Mellen’s Food” Petzing whispered so loud to the fellow in the next bunk that he roused the Officer in Charge. Thus the time passed, working from sun-up to sun-down and playing from moon-up to moon-down, until July 14. We had a pleasant and a wonderful camp, and we take this oppor¬ tunity of expressing our appreciation to the men who made our camp a success. To Major Ralph Royce, Commanding Officer of Brooks Field; to Captain Gui- dera who was handicapped by illness; to Captain King who was in charge during the absence of Captain Guidera, and to the officers who were our instructors and pilots we extend our thanks. OFF-ON-UP Page 171 Trials of a Wagon Soldier riTH LOUD exclamations of griping we boarded the train after the Final Review for V V the annual summer camp at San Antonio, where we were to spend the next six weeks working for our rich Uncle for the exorbitant sum of seventy cents a day. In due course of time we arrived at our destination, and we were met by those incomparable U. S. Army trucks and conducted to Ft. Sam Houston. For the first few days we removed the paint off the brass rings of all the belts that our Uncle had in stock. We kept the aforesaid brass shining for the remainder of the camp. Our days for the next three weeks were filled with infantry drill, blackboard firing, mounted work, and com¬ munication instruction. After two or three days of equitation our bodies as well as our minds heard with the greatest of anticipated agony, the command of Lieutenant Crosby: “Feet out of stirrups, reins in both hands, slow trot-Ho-o-o-o.” Parades were included in the program, and our educated feet marched past the reviewing stand to that well-known tune, which Colonel DeWitt told us was the best military march that was ever written—“The Old Gray Mare.” In the afternoons we played baseball, volley ball, and other games. Every Friday evening we were entertained with a dance. After the proper amount of training, we displayed a fair brand of the terpsichorean art. On Monday morning of the fourth week we left the gun park at six, and started on the twenty- nine mile ride to Camp Stanley. We arrived about three, and we were allowed to eat a light lunch after we had groomed the nags for an hour and a half. Then followed three of the most enjoyable weeks of camp. We fired all morning, and it was intensely interesting to put our theory into practice. Our first work was percussion precision, followed by percussion bracket, and ending with lateral observation. One day we were sent to a bomb-proof dug-out on the side of a hill while the battery laid down a shrapnel barrage in the field in front of us. One of the most amusing incidents of this camp out in the land of rattlesnakes and armadillos occurred one morning when our Cadet Colonel tried to get in his fatigue trousers which were already occupied by a stinging scorpion. It is needless to say which won the prize. When these three weeks had ended, we again mounted our trusty steeds and with the 75’s rumbling along behind us, we left Stanley and headed for Fort Sam. We re¬ turned by a different route, and made the march of twenty-nine miles in approxi¬ mately five hours. Three days later we assembled on the drill field to be awarded the medals and cups that we had won. The next day Camp was over. Oh, yes! We had potatoes every meal. Page 172 Stand to Heel! u ’ IP ' AIN’T me what want yo’all to rise from there,” said the negro porter on the special Pull- man on the morning of June 3, 1925, “it’s them Army folks outside which is clamoring for you.” Thirty-six weary and sleepy prospective seniors of A. and M. College, members of the Cavalry Squadron, rubbed their eyes and cast apprehensive glances over the little town of Spofford, Texas, a conglomeration of wooden shacks built around a yellow H. and T. C. railroad station. The first day was spent in physical examination and issuing equipment, and the second day was a signal for the beginning of six weeks of extensive cavalry training. It was extensive too, extending from several periods on the bull ring to superbly grooming horses and polishing equip¬ ment. On the first day Captain Scanlan complimented us on our riding ability and as an expres¬ sion of appreciation, he did away with the first week of bull ring riding. Many pages could be filled with accounts of the drill work that we were put through. We had dismounted pistol practice, saber drill in which every man got a chance to stick a so-called enemy through the ribs with a glittering saber, and several tactical problems which required the use of pistols, rifles and sabers. Rifle range work began soon after our arrival, and many men qualified as experts and sharpshooters. Chief among the best shots in the Aggie ranks was Major “Wild Bill” Loessin. We spent much time with athletics. The officers turned over their tennis courts to us. The soldiers at the post furnished us with bats, balls and gloves, and we organized a baseball team. Several games of polo were played between the boys and the officers. But chief among the athletic pleasures of the entire camp was the daily swim in the clear water of the nearby pool. After the day’s work had been completed, each man got his bathing suit and his own particular girl friend and went swimming in the cool water for about forty-five or fifty minutes. After the swim came retreat, supper and a night of pleasure until taps. As a whole, most of the meals were enjoyed and several mealhounds were develo ped. A special cook shack was turned over to us, and a detail of cooks and servants served us. The food tasted especially good after a day of shooting or riding on the range, and we always did it justice. Most of us enjoyed our stay while at the fort, and we were a happy bunch as the last pay¬ day came around. Army trucks awaited at the door of the barracks to take us to Spofford where we took a train back to our respective homes. We take this opportunity to thank Colonel Scales, Major O’Connor, Captains W. E. Buchly and H. V. Scanlan, and Lieutenants Jerry Jernigan and William Howarth for the instructions we received while at camp. We also wish to express our sorrow for the accidental death of Lieu¬ tenant W. J. Eaddy, one of the finest men and superb cavalry officers that we have ever known. Page 173 C JipSS ' Volunteers Captain J. F. Broad 1 st Sgt. H. W. Townsend Captain Broad, J. F.

F.s in 1907 zA History of the c Ross Volunteers nr ' HE military organization known as the Ross Volunteers is the oldest organized student activity at A. and M. The first company, which was organized in 1887, was called the Scott Volunteers in honor of the Col. T. M. Scott who was at that time business manager of the Col¬ lege. The purpose for forming this organization was to band together the most military men in school into a crack drill company. In 1891 when ex-Governor Lawrence Sullivan Ross became president of the college, the name of the company was changed to Ross Volunteers in his honor. Following the death of President Ross in 1898, the name of the organization was changed to Foster Guards, again honoring the new president of the College, L. L. Foster, who had succeeded President Ross. Houston Rifles was the name selected during President Houston’s administration. In 1902, H. H. Harrington, son-in-law of Governor Ross became president, and a movement was started to name the company the Harrington Rifles. However, at the request of President Harrington, the company again assumed the name of Ross Volunteers. Originally the plan of the organization was to change its name in honor of each succeeding President of the College. During President Harrington’s administration this idea was dropped, and the name Ross Volunteers retained as permanent. At the time of organization the membership was restricted to forty cadets cho sen from the Junior and Senior classes. New members were accepted into the company by an election held early each scholastic year. The basis of acceptance was military ability and popularity. After the war some non-military students were elected, but in 1923 the company decided to make non-military students and those not making a “B” in military science ineligible for membership. The number of members at the present time has been limited to one hundred and twenty-five. As stated before membership in the company was limited to juniors and seniors, but an exception to this custom had to be made in 1918 on account of the small number of juniors and seniors enrolled. Several freshmen and sophomores were enrolled as members. The first uniform for the company was of white duck with gold ornaments. The headgear was a tin helmet which has long since been discarded in favor of the lighter white military caps. For the most part the uniform has always been of white duck; however, in 1907 gray breeches, blue shirts and big Stetson hats were worn. This type of dress was not so appealing to the eye, and therefore, the white duck uniform again became vogue. Every year the entire student body looks forward to the R. V. festivities which occur during the middle of April. Undoubtedly these are the most elaborate events in Texas during the spring season. The campus is made beautiful by the fairest of maidens who have been gathered to¬ gether from the four corners of the South. For three days the spirit of the dance reigns supreme in Aggieland. The first night is the Queen’s Ball; this is perhaps the most elaborate of all dances. Amidst the splendor of the ballroom the King and Queen are enthroned by a special court chosen from the ranks of the company. Page 171 R. V.’s in 1925 History of the Ross Volunteers—Qontinued With this event the merry-making is begun. For the first time the splendor of the ball¬ room is revealed to the visitors. Surely the impetus given by the music and the colorful ball¬ room is more than enough to last through the entire time of the festivities. On the second day a banquet is held for both the active and ex-members of the Ross Volunteers and their guests. This is indeed a happy time when long-separated friends are reunited. The evening of the second day is given over to the R. V. Hop. On the afternoon of the final day all eyes are focused upon the Ross Volunteers as they march onto the parade grounds to perform the intricate R. V. drill. The perfect co-ordination of mind and body together with the flash of the gold and white of the R. V. uniform as the pre¬ cise movements are executed form a picture never to be forgotten. Each night the ballroom is made to portray and rival the court scenes of Old France. The corps dance on the last night marks the end of the festivities. Every year the success of the event seems to exceed that of the previous year; so it is with reluctance that the guests listen to the strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” as they tell the story of the end. Regretfully the guests leave, but with fond memories of the hospitality shown them during the three days of carefree pleasure. Activities of the company in the past have been too many and varied to recount; however, it is with much pride that all R. V.’s recall a particular trip to Houston, Texas, under command of Captain E. J. Kyle. There they engaged in competition drill against the best drill teams in the country. The Ross Volunteers won first place in the contest by eliminating the Houston Light Guards, who at this time were considered the best-drilled team in the United States. Commencement time, which tends to end all student activities until a future date, furnishes the background for the finale of the R. V. Company. An exhibition similar to the one given in the early spring is presented for the benefit of the many visitors. It is through this final drill that the reputation of the company has been enhanced throughout the state. Upon comple¬ tion of the close order drill, an individual competitive drill is held to determine the best drilled man. Visiting army officers, by a system of elimination, determine the winner. For Tis pro¬ ficiency in the manual of arms and individual movements, the best-drilled man is presented with a gold medal by the Captain of the company. The spirit of the Ross Volunteers is very clearly shown when the lieutenant second in com¬ mand presents the captain with a gold watch, a gift from the men, in recognition for his services and capable leadership throughout the year. Thus it is that the curtain is drawn on the final act. Page 17b w z yTt 00 = VANITY FAIR LONDON audwvcm MOUSE. AUDWYCM..W C.£ E W YORK wear 44 ?

M., athletic conditions were very bad. All the games were iL ' held on the drill field and, as there was no way of collecting an admittance fee, free will collections were taken at each game to pay all of the expenses. To better the conditions, an Athletic Council was organized in 1903. Dean Kyle was made president of the organization in 1905 and immediately started work on some method of placing the teams on a better financial basis, as there was then no equipment and a big debt to be paid off. He obtained 250,000 square feet of ground from the College for an athletic field and, with the aid of Dr. S. B. Lanham, built a fence around it. The field was so muddy, however, that it was unfit for use that spring but a championship baseball team was turned out in spite of this. In 1905, the official letter award was changed from a “C” to a “T” as being more repre¬ sentative of Texas A. M., although Texas University objected violently. In 1906, the students felt that their new field needed a name and, at a meeting of the student body, the field was for¬ mally christened Kyle Field in honor of its builder, Prof. E. J. Kyle. The new system was so satisfactory that the Council was out of debt by 1907 and the covered grandstand from the Bryan Fair Grounds was bought and moved to the new field and showers were installed. This was used until 1910 when the first field house was built largely by Coach Moran and the students and was used though remodeled until replaced by the Memorial Gym¬ nasium in 1924. A quarter-mile cinder track had been built in 1908 and Kyle Field was rapidly improving and the teams were well equipped. In 1909, A. M. won theiqfirst Southwest Cham¬ pionship in football under the coaching of Charlie Moran, although they had previously won the State Championship in 1902. They were also state champions in 1910, and that year started the precedence of pre-season training with a training camp at Seabrook on Galveston Bay. From this humble start, Kyle Field has grown to the mighty field of today with its new Memorial Gymnasium, its football field and bleachers, its baseball and track grandstand with a perfect cinder track and baseball field, and its tennis courts. Page 205 James Sullivan TAMES SULLIVAN was elected to the position of Business Manager of Athletics in June of | 1920 and took up his duties as such at that time. Speaking financially, he did not find the Athletic Department in a very healthy condition as the department had an indebtedness of seventeen thousand dollars and nothing at Kyle Field but a lot of wooden shacks for a basket ball court and dressing rooms, some old wooden football bleachers, and a little athletic equipment. After putting the department on a sound financial basis, Sullivan started the improvements and his dream of June 1920 came true with the completion of the Memorial Gymnasium in Decem¬ ber, 1924. Just as a matter of interest, “Sully,” as he is known by students and alumni alike, started back in 1920 with a plant at Kyle Field that was worth perhaps a few thousand dollars on a most liberal estimate. Today, the plant is worth approximately $200,000.00. The College has assisted in this permanent improvement to the extent of $64,000.00 and the remaining improvements have been paid for out ot the earnings of the department. These improvements consist of the Memo¬ rial Gymnasium, two steel football bleachers seating nine thousand, a baseball and track grand¬ stand seating thirty-five hundred, an excellent baseball field, two football fields, a 440-yard circu¬ lar cinder running track with a 220-yard straightaway, and three permanent tennis courts. Athletics play a large part in the student’s life and especially so at Texas A. M. since the students are housed in dormitories and the location of the college is such that it practically excludes the students from outside entertainment. Thus the ambition of the department is to be able to give athletic training to every student attending the college. They hope to be able in a few years to provide a complete gymnasium and tennis and handball courts for all. Page 206 Dana X. Bible OIBLE first came to A. M. in 1916 as Freshman coach but after a six weeks’ stay, he went on leave to Louisiana State University where he spent the remainder of the season. The follow¬ ing year he returned to A. M. as head coach and turned out an undefeated, unscored on team. With the close of the season, he answered the call to the colors and went into the service of Uncle Sam at Fort Sam Houston. At the end of the war, however, Bible returned to College Station in 1919 and again put out an undefeated, unscored on team. The following year, the only loss of the season was the defeat on Thanksgiving at the hands of Texas University, 7 to 3. The follow¬ ing year, however, Bible received nation-wide attention and was elected to membership on the National Rules Committee when he turned out the team that defeated the Praying Colonels from Centre College, 22 to 14, to win the Southern Championship. Although the years of 1922, 1923 and 1924 were unfortunate ones for A. M., Bible still retained the confidence and loyalty of Aggie supporters, and in 1925, he justified their faith by turning out the championship team that defeated Texas University, 28 to 0. D. X., as he is known to his men and friends, is a true gentleman of the old school and is liked by everyone. Quiet and unassuming, he has won the respect and admiration of those with whom he has come in contact. With his men, he is patient and friendly but is ever firm and always demands the highest type of sportsmanship and it is through his leadership and example that Aggie teams have won such an enviable record for clean play and sportsmanship. He has won a place in the hearts of every Aggie and his name will ever live in the Hall of Fame of Aggie- land. Page 207 The ' Tlggie Qoaches OACH ROTHGEB came to us from the University of Illinois where he was known as one ' of the greatest of linesmen and in 1904 he was placed on Walter Camp’s All-American team. As a coach, he is one of the best and has developed unwavering lines that have become famous for their strength. Working hand in hand with Bible, he has done much to weld the players into a mighty machine that worked in perfect unison. Rothgeb has also coached the Aggie baseball team and has turned out some good players. He has taught his men to work and train, and has developed the best teamwork that has been seen on the baseball team in some time. Fair and square, he has been a friend to all and stands high in the opinion of everyone. As track coach, Coach Anderson has developed some of the most outstanding runners and held men that the South has ever seen, three of his men receiving national mention for outstand¬ ing achievements during the season of 1925. Coach Andy loves the game and has studied each event both in America and at the Olympic games. He is a hghter from the start and instills the fighting spirit into his men. The little cotton-headed fellow was also cross-country and Fresh¬ man football coach at the same time and turned out a championship cross-country team in 1925 as well as keeping the Fish jumping. If his Fish could not get things right, Andy usually took the ball and hit the line to show them how to do it. He is a great little fellow and a born leader of men. For several years Coach Thomas has had charge of the tennis teams of A. and M. He has worked hard and faithfully with his men and has done a great deal to increase the interest in the game. Through his efforts, tennis was recognized by the Athletic Council as a major sport in 1924, and since then it has continued to grow. Coach Thomas has had no small task for his teams have had the hardest of competition to face as their opponents have been men of national standing. However, he has done well and the teams that he has turned out have been worthy of representing A. and M. Quiet and sincere, he is a man whom all would be proud to call a friend. Although there has not been a championship won by the Aggie Tennis Team, they have given the team that won some very strong competitinn. C. J. Rothgeb F. G. And erson W. H. Thomas Football Line Coach Cross-Country, Track Tennis Baseball Freshman Football Page 208 The zyTggie Coaches TT TPON Coach Bender there falls the all-important task of building football players out of the myriads of ambitious Freshmen who report for work each year. Few realize the importance of this work but upon the Freshman coaches there rests the responsibility of training the men who will one day fill the places on the varsity. “Chief,” as he is known, has accomplished much and the varsity will be greatly strengthened next year by the men that he has turned out. In his day he was one of the best of football players and was All-Missouri Valley quarter for three years and All-Western half for one year. Besides all of that, he is a writer of note and has enough titles and degrees to tack on behind his name to use up the alphabet. Coach Bender is a jovial good fellow and his men enjoy working with him. Coach McIntosh was chosen to assist Coach Bender in the work of properly training the many Freshmen. He was a close observer and a thorough student of the game. His work with the Fish was of great value and his squad showed up well when they tackled the varsity. Al¬ though a professor, Coach McIntosh took the time to give the Fish the best of his efforts and was a very capable coach. He worked hard and faithfully with his men and turned out several notable players that will be of great help to the varsity next year. He is quiet and says little, but as the old saying goes: “Still water runs deep.” As Professor of Physical Education and Director of Intramural Sports, Coach House has filled a very important and beneficial place in the athletics of the College. Although he does not turn out any inter-collegiate teams, he has the equally important task of developing the students into well-rounded men and of giving them the necessary exercise. As the positions on the varsity teams are limited to so few men, Coach House also has the task of arranging the intramural sports so that all who wish may take advantage of the opportunity to play the game of their choice. For the past two years his tumbling teams have won much credit. Coach House is a man of the highest type and does much to mould the manhood of the school into the most de¬ sirable form. J. R.

He was always a consistent player and was given the honor of being All-Southwest end in his last year. He was a great fighter and a fast, aggressive end. Besides being a football player, he was also a noted javelin thrower on the track squad, as he received national mention for his work during the 1925 season. Neely has done a great wprk with the Freshmen during the past season and has done much to teach the Aggie principles of football to his hopeful young aspirants of football fame. As he goes out, Allison will carry with him the best wishes of all and many will remember that warm-hearted, friendly Aggie. The Freshman coaching staff also contained another Aggie football star in Jim Forgason. Jim was a good guard and was one of the mainstays of the Aggie line. He was an excellent field goal kicker and his great weight made him very valuable on the defense. From his years of experience with the varsity, Forgason was well fitted to be of great value to the Freshman coach¬ ing staff and he gave his undivided attention to the proper instruction of the Fish. He worked in harmony with Coach Bender and the success of the Aggie Freshmen may be in part credited to the earnest work of this coach. “Doc” Sprague has been with us for several years and has the very important task of minis¬ tering to the hurts and sprains of the athletes. He is well equipped for this work as he spends the summers in the North studying his work and has been very successful. “Doc” is not only fitted for his work by study, but as he was a great athlete himself, he is able to give the men much valuable advice. He came to A. and M. in 1917 but left for service during the war. After the war he returned and lettered for two years in baseball as a star pitcher and for one year in track when he was a member of the record-breaking mile relay team. Sprague is a great fellow and keeps the Aggie teams in good shape. Whenever there is a man injured in any of the sports they always find “Doc” on the job with his first-aid bag to administer treatment immediately and very effectively. He is very instrumental in the fine condition the team is always in. J. N. Allison Freshman Football C. T. Sprague T rainer J. Y. Forgason Freshman Football The ' ' -Athletic Council r || ' ' HE Athletic Council of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas is charged with the supervision of all athletic activities carried on by the institution. The Council is composed of three members from the general faculty, two members representing the alumni, and two members representing the student body. The faculty and alumni representatives are appointed by the President of the College and the student members are elected by the student body. Probably the most important function of the Athletic Council is that of co-ordinating the athletic activities of the College with other phases of college work. There has been much criticism of inter-collegiate ath¬ letics during the last few years because of the fact that it has been over-emphasized in many institutions. As repre¬ sentatives of the academic faculty, the Athletic Council is primarily responsible for remedying such conditions where they exist. Proper control of athletics can be exercised only where the general faculty, through its representatives on the Athletic Council, has full control over the policies governing athletics. In order to give athletics its proper place in the A. M. College of Texas, the Athletic Council, with the approval of the faculty, reorganized the work into the Department of Physical Education which was then affiliated with the College. The department, was then divided into three divisions: The Division of Physical Training and Intra¬ mural Sports, the Divisions of Inter-collegiate Athletics, and the Division of Teacher-Training in Physical Education. Thus by this means of organization, every student in the College is given some form of athletic exetcise suitable to his needs and desires. The Athletic Council also supervises the financial affairs of the Department of Physical Education and sees to the enforcement of all of the athletic rules of the Southwest Athletic Conference, of which the College is a member. Inter-collegiate athletics can prosper only where there is definite faculty control. The re-organization of ath¬ letics in this institution, as worked out by the Athletic Council, has been a definite factor in eliminating the un¬ desirable elements that had developed in the past. No plan can succeed, however, unless there are high grade men in immediate charge of athletic activities. The A. M. College is extremely fortunate in having one of the best athletic staffs in the entire country. The members of the Department of Physical Education are all men of the highest character and are recognized leaders in the branch of athletics which they represent. They are heartily in sympathy with the academic side of college life and leave nothing undone to instill into the minds of their players the highest ideals of character and clean sportsmanship.

Oscar Buck, the lad from Beaumont. Throughout the year he gave his best efforts for the good of the team and tried to develop the best of sportsmanship in the cadet corps. He was a keen observer and a superb leader for where he led the Aggies followed. At Aggieland, Dallas, Waco, Fort Worth, and Houston, E. Oscar blended the mighty mob into a fighting unit, that twelfth man on the team. When the going was hard and the team grew weary, Buck was ready with a ringing yell that aroused the Aggie fight and sent that Farmer eleven back into action with the needed drive and punch for victory. As a yell leader, a gentleman, a jovial good fellow, and a true friend, Buck was surpassed by none and with the Class of ’26 Aggieland saw the passing of one of her greatest leaders. The assistant yell leaders did excellent work and worked in perfect harmony with Buck. Milo Abercrombie realized his ambition and led his beloved school through a successful champion¬ ship year. Bob Oakes, with his quick wit and humor, kept everyone in a good mood and Jake Langford, ever comical but sincere, kept the fighting fire alive in the hearts of all. In his senior year Jake saw his dreams come true and the Jinx that had followed the Class of ’26 banished from the gates of Aggieland and the ship of Southwest Conference Champions anchored safely at A. and M. Under such able leadership, many pleasant nights were spent at yell practice and those happy moments come back to each Aggie from time to time. The associations, the inspiration, and the spirit of teamwork all combined to bind the men into one great fraternity and in dreams there come the words: When your heart goes out to the team you love And your soul cries out to win, You’ll be paid for all you have spent For victory will come in the end.

A solemn oath, “Heaven, Hell, or a Championship,” sworn bv everv student of A. and M. College on College Night of 19 25. A realization of the vision and the oath. Then once again, A. and M. College is ranked among the football leaders as winner of the Southwest Conference Championship in Football, 1925. The season was a brilliant one, and the fourth con¬ ference championship for D. X. Bible in his years at College. It was a season which produced football stars who will rank with those of bygone days for there were four men whose names appeared on the Mythical Eleven with the immortal Dansby as Captain, while two others were given All-Conference mention. Dansby was also given national credit by sport writers in recognition of his excellent work. Beginning with the defeat of Trinity University, the Aggies played a sensational season. Following the defeat of Southwestern, the Aggies again faced the mighty Tigers from Sewanee, and after one of the hardest games ever played in Texas, Sewanee still had failed to defeat the fighting Farmers. S. M. U. and Baylor both met defeat before the onslaughts of the Aggies and the 3-0 score with T. C. U. alone remained to mar a perfect record. Before the entire cadet corps in Houston Rice was forced to take a 17-0 defeat and only Texas was left. All Aggieland centered its interest on Turkey Day. The atmosphere changed and became pecu¬ liarly charged with a something which could not be defined while D. X. worked hard with his team. Turkey Day dawned bright and clear and thousands of people arrived on the field. The game started promptly before a huge assemblage of fans and the fight was on. The first kick-off sailed high and true from an Aggie toe, Aggie forwards dashed down the field, and Mack Saxon, star Texas back, fumbled the ball when tackled. From then on it was an Aggie game and with the setting sun the brilliant banner of “Southwest Conference Champions, Football, 1925,” proudly floated over Aggieland again. Page 217 The Aggie Mentors Get Together ' Texas A. ]y[ % —Trinity Texas At. A M. - - Southwestern The Aggies opened the 1925 season when they defeated Trinity University at College Station on September 25. At that time, Trinity had one of the strongest teams in the T. I. A. A., and did some good playing. The first half of the game was rather slow and the ball changed hands frequently. The lack of unison and teamwork was evident, al¬ though the Farmers showed up a lot of new material that looked mighty good. A. M. started the scoring with a touchdown in the second quarter but Trinity followed with a field goal, and again scored when they blocked a punt and kicked goal in the third quarter. The Farmers then chalked up two more touchdowns and kicked both goals to earn their first victory of the season, 20 to 10. Southwestern was the next team to fall victim to the onslaughts of the Farmers when they lost 23 to 6. The Pirates’ lone tally came as the result of a recovered fumble in the second quarter. The first half was slow and the Aggies were not in the best of form, but they showed that they had the drive and could use it when needed as they rallied in the last quarter and drove through to end the game in fine style. These early-season games did much to improve the teamwork of the Farmer eleven and helped to develop much good material that was indispensable later on. Hunt, Gay, Arnold, Colgin and Willis were finds of the season who did exceptionally well in the backfield and showed good form in advancing the ball. Watts, Defifenbach and Sikes did unusually well and held down their position in the line in admirable fashion. Captain-Elect Dieterich All Southwest Tackle Captain Wilson All Southwest Fullback The Farmers Plunge the Line Page 218 Texas A. Tht. - - Sewanee The spectators at the Dallas Fair were given one of the greatest exhibitions of fighting spirit and teamwork ever seen in Texas when the indomitable Farmer eleven held the Sewanee Tigers to a 6—6 tie. The Purple and White brought one of the greatest teams of their history to Dallas for the express purpose of defeating the Aggies, but for the third time they were sent back to the mountains of Tennessee without a victory. The Tigers turned loose everything known to football and showed a passing, running game that is seldom seen. They gained time after time only to be held when within the shadow of the Aggie goalposts by a team that would not be defeated. During the last quarter, the powerful Mahoney tried five times for a field goal and always was so rushed by the Farmer linemen as to miss his goal. Fighting within stepping distance of their goal line, the Farmers fought with all of the unconquerable spirit that has characterized Aggie teams and the memory of those sixty minutes will live long in the traditions of A. M. It was in the second quarter that Speed tore through the Tiger line to block Mahoney’s punt and the alert Dansby scooped up the ball and ran for a touchdown. “Dusty” Berry was supreme in his generalship and outplayed the famed Barker, and was unexcelled as a safety man. The entire Aggie line was as a solid line on the defense and were unequalled in the way they tore through the Sewanee line. Hunt was the offensive star for the Aggies, while Wilson kept the ball continually out of danger with his punting. The punts always went Beutel, End high and far, ranging up to 70 yards on a part of them and always out All-Southwest Mention of the danger zone. Berry, Quarterback All-Southwest Mention Mule Hits the Line Page 219 Texas iA. sM.-S. -M. U. Texas A. JIT.-S. H. S. T. Q- The Aggies won their opening conference game when they defeated S. M. U. 7—-0. The game was pretty well in the hands of the Farmers during the first three quarters and the ball was kept well into the visitors’ territory. The line showed great strength on both the offense and the defense and worked in perfect unison with the backfield. The passing of Hunt and Berry and the receiving of Wilson were big features of the game and accounted for the only score of the game which came in the third quarter when Hunt passed 12 yards to Wilson for a touchdown. Dansby played a stellar game as usual and broke through time after time to block Cortemeglia’s punts. Beutel at end also turned in a good game and did much to win the game. The brilliant playing of Watts at center was one of the surprises of the season, and with Dieterich and Irwin, the Aggie line was practically impenetrable. In the last quarter the Ponies were able to gain by the use of the pass only and were unable to gain through any part of Coach Rothgeb’s line. The game with the Sam Houston State Teachers College eleven gave little impression of the real strength of the Aggies as the game was easily won 77 —€. Bible used the entire squad throughout the course of the game and every man did well. Colgin furnished the thrill of the game when he ran 85 yards for a touchdown. Turner and Gay also played well and showed the Aggie mentors had a world of reserve material from which they could draw if the time ever came when it was necessary to call on that part of the Aggie team. Hunt All-Southwest Halfback Dansby All-Southwest Guard Wilson Receives Pass for Touchdown Against S. M. U. Page 220 Texas ij{. -3 (.--Baylor Still burning from the sting of previous defeats, and with the frenzied yells of the entire cadet corps urging them on, the Farmer eleven went into the game with Baylor in no mood to tolerate defeat. From the time the referee’s whistle blew until the end, the game showed that 1925 was an Aggie year for the Farmers were all over the field. They passed, they bucked the line, they punted, they made long end runs, and, in fact, did about everything that could be done in football. Bay¬ lor was kept constantly on the defense and was continually punting out of danger, unable to gain against the Farmers. Aggie fans will remember the Baylor game as Hunt’s day. It was Hunt who was responsible for both touchdowns, and it was Hunt who continually slipped through the Bear defense or received the passes over their line. Scorned by the Baylor mentors in high school days, it was Hunt who helped bring defeat to the Golden Bears. Wilson played one of the greatest games of his life, and was quick and alert. His long punts were the feature of the game and his long end runs accounted for many first downs. Many times when his punts were in danger of being blocked, Wilson eluded his would-be tacklers and ran for first down. Woodman and McGuire played good games and gained consistently, while Berry handled his team in his usual competent manner. Price at end played a stellar game and was fast and alert, always catching the opponent off his guard and getting down the field to stop the opponent in his very tracks or stopping the ball on the very goal line. Kish i Halfback Irwin Tackle Page 221 Texas iT[. Tht.— T. Q. U. In the game with T. C. U. Horned Frogs, the Farmers experienced the only let-up of the season when they lost the game 3 to 0. The T. C. U. aggregation was playing as they had never played before and exhibited a brand of football that was not expected of them. They were playing to win from the Aggies and turned in a good game. The Farmers were under a relapse from the hard game with Baylor the week before and were not playing the type of football that was char¬ acteristic of them. The line and the backfield were both functioning at intervals, but could not get together at the critical time. The Aggie line, however, upheld its high reputation and held rigid on the defense. This was the only reverse of the season for A. M., as the Farmers won all of their other games with a clear title. Irwin was one of the outstanding players of that fateful game, and it was his playing that helped to inspire his lagging teammates to greater efforts. Bones was unmovable on the defense and a power on the offense. His running mate, Dieterich, also played well. Colgin played one of his greatest games and was the offensive star for the Aggies. Time after time, the smiling little back would break through the Horned Frogs’ defense for a good gain. Kishi, who was just recovering from an in¬ jured shoulder, went into the game during the last half and did some good playing. The duties of quarterback were taken by Hunt during this game as Berry was out with an injured ankle. This position was filled very well by a man not playing quarter when in his regular posi¬ tion on the team. Much credit is due to the way the alert back con¬ ducted the team throughout the entire game. OcHTERBECK Guard McGuire Halfback Bob Berry Goes Around End for a Touchdown Page 222 Texas ' i-A. ' ThC.-Tice With the memory of their recent defeat at the hands of the Horned Frogs still fresh in their minds, the Farmers went into the fray with the Rice Owls with the grim determination to fight to the limit. The day was still and clear and the bleachers were filled to capacity with people to see the Owls tackle the Aggies. Rice was famed for its passing machine, and many vowed that it would bring disaster to the Farmer gridsters. The passing machine failed to function, however, and the Aggies hung up a 17 to victory. The recovery of Kishi the brilliant Aggie halfback, brought joy to the hearts of the cadets. Although his shoulder was still weak, Kishi played one of the best games of his career and tore through the Owl line in his old fashion again. Many times he crashed through for substantial gains and was adept at receiving passes, accounting for one of the Aggie’s touchdowns when he caught the oval behind the Rice goal posts. Price showed up well in this game and made many good plays. Wilson was at his top form and his long end runs reminded one of the Baylor game. Ochterbeck, as usual, played a hard, consistent game that made his position in the line a solid wall of strength. McGuire was at his best and blocked many of Under¬ wood’s long passes. The other members of the team were always blocking and intercepting the passes for which Rice ofifense had spent much time in preparation. When their overhead failed, their team went to pieces and were never a very serious threat to our own goal line. Price End Speed Guard Page 123 Texas A. ?JM. Texas University On Kyle Field Turkey Day, the Texas Aggies rose to supreme football heights and showed the world that they were indeed champions and deserved to wear the title of Southwest Conference Champions. Fighting as only Farmer elevens can hght when playing their ancient and worthy rivals on Thanksgiving, with all of the traditions of Kyle Field driving them on, and with the championship title at stake, the Aggies showed a drive and irresistible attack that was the marvel of the season. Every man was playing at his best, and each was just a cog in the mighty machine that stopped for nothing. Such perfect unison and teamwork has been seldom seen and the powerful eleven moved down the field at will. On the defense, all were alert and quick to make and take advantage of the breaks of the game. The game was in the hands of the Farmers from the start as Saxon of State fumbled the kick-off and the alert Aggies recovered. It was still early in the first quarter when A. M. made their first touchdown when they marched down the field by a series of line bucks, end runs and a beautifully executed forward pass. Wilson carried the ball over the goal line for the score and Hunt kicked goal. The second quarter was uneventful as neither team was able to score. Early in the second half, Wilson kicked out of bounds on the Texas 18-yard line. On the next play, an attempted end run, the Texas back fumbled the ball and the ever-alert Dansby crashed through to recover and run 15 yards for a touchdown. Soon after this, Texas recovered an Aggie fumble and passed to the Farmer’s 8-yard line. It was then that Sikes immortalized his name, as on the next play he Watts Center Sikes Runs 92 Yards for a Touchdown Against Texas Page 224 Texas 4. zM. Texas University—Continued ran between two Texas men to intercept a lateral pass and run 92 yards for a touchdown. Wilson also aided the play by running perfect inter¬ ference and taking the fast Saxon completely out of the play. The last touchdown came as the result of a steady march down the field and ended when Hunt passed across the goal line to Berry in the fourth quarter. Hunt kicked goal in each case with the confidence and ease of a veteran. It would be hard and unfair to pick stars in this game when every player was giving his all and when teamwork was the paramount issue with them all. It was this smooth even play that made the 1925 Farmer team what it was and won for them the Southwest Cham¬ pionship, rewarding them all for the sacrifice of personal glory for the good of the team. Long will the memory of those brilliant and eventful sixty minutes live in the traditions of Aggieland, and 28—0 will ever bring back sweet memories to every S cB Aggie. To the men of ’26, it will have a double significance in that in their last year the jinx that had followed them through their college days was thrown off and , MlilB their Senior year made perfect by a wonderful victorv.

The basket ball season was not a brilliant affair on the whole, and though the Aggies produced a stellar defense, there was.a weakness in ringing the baskets. The season started in December when the Farmers split a two-game series with Sam Houston State Teachers College. After Christmas the Aggies opened the season right and defeated the Dallas Athletic Club in a tight game. After this they successfully defeated the Centenary Bulldogs at. Shreveport in a two-game series. Back at college they lost the first conference game to Baylor after a hard fight. The next visitor at Aggieland was the Horned Frogs five from T. C. U., and the stellar work of George won the game after the Aggies had taken the lead. The Farmers then traveled to Houston, where they won their first conference victory. A return trip to College by the Owls was unsuccessful and the Aggies increased their percentage by another win. Bible then took his lads to Dallas but they were unable to defeat S. M. U. on the Mustang’s court. T. C. U. was the next host to the boys from A. M. but were hosts off the court only. The Mustangs then visited College Station and were received with a warm reception. A week later, the Aggies went to Austin but were unable to handle t he fast Texas quintet. The champion Arkansas Razorbacks next invaded Aggieland and won a two-game series. Though the Farmers lost both games, they played stellar ball and showed a brilliant defense. Baylor was next at Waco and the A. M. five won by good work in the first half. Texas University came to College for the closing game of the season, and with their defense working well, won by a one-sided score. Captain Kyle The season was productive of one of the best guards the Conference has ever seen in Punk Baker, a two-year man of Fort Worth, who won a place on the Mythical Five. Baker was the only one of the Aggies to place on the first team, which was quite an honor considering the number of prominent guards in the Conference. Bible Gives the Team Instructions Page 229 Early Season Qames BpHMHBBBW BB IMj The Aggie cagers started the season with a two-game engagement $ ■ with the Sam Houston Normal College basketeers. The trip was made ■ twMwl to Huntsville in cars over almost impassable roads, and after pushing the cars through mud all day and delaying the game quite a bit, Coach imkI Bible’s men entered the game in a very poor condition. They made a poor showing and were outpointed 13 to 31. On the following night, the Aggies showed a marked improvement and Kyle, the star performer ' H from the night previous, again played an outstanding game, as did Baker and Clark. The result was a 21 to 18 victory for the Aggies. With I H Sikes and Clark as forwards, Kyle at center and Baker and Broad as ■■ I guards, the Farmers were able to present a strong team. Blunt, Krueger, McConaughey, Shelton and Tapp also did good work and showed up well. On January 7, Coach Bible and his team started on a road trip on which they had three engagements. The first was with the Dallas Athletic Club team and the spectators were given plenty of thrills when the Aggies won by the close score of 31 to 29. Clark and Baker were the outstanding players for the Aggies and showed some brilliant playing. From Dallas the Farmers went to Shreveport, La., for a pair of games with Centenary College. The games were played before large crowds of enthusiastic spectators and the Aggies were in good condition, winning both games. The Farmer quintet was the only team to thus defeat the “Bulldogs” on their home court for two successive games, but the excel¬ lent playing of Kyle and Baker won both games. Captain elect EUker All-Southwest Guard Captain Kyle Center Page 230 r R ce Series—T. Q. U. Series The Farmers won their first conference game in Houston after a tight race with the Rice Institute Owls. The game was fast and well played and the lead was continually changing from one team to the other. Baker was the star of the game with his excellent guarding and sensa¬ tional goal-shooting for it was one of his well-placed shots that won for the Aggies in the last few minutes of play. Captain Kyle and Broad also did good work. The second game with the Owls started slow and both teams were off form during the first half. In the second, however, play started with a snap and Clark and Kyle kept the ball rolling through the hoop. Baker and Broad played great defensive games and the team-work and passing of the Aggies was the feature of the half. After leading the Horned Frogs until the last, the Aggies lost their first game with T. C. U. in the last few minutes of play. The Farm¬ ers were right and showed a team-work and abili¬ ty to pass that dazzled the visitors. Kyle played one of the best games of his career and soundly outplayed George of T. C. U. Baker and Broad played their usual brand of stellar defense, and Tapp showed up well. The Farmers were unsuccessful in their second game with T. C. U. at Fort Worth and were unable to win. The guards kept the Frogs well covered but the Aggie forwards had difficulty in hitting the basket. Kyle played a good game at center while the return of Tucker was a great addi¬ tion to the team and several of the scores are due to his work. Clark Forward Sikes Tosses a Good One Page 231 Arkansas Series—S. Sh(. U. Series In the two-game series with Arkansas, the cadet corps witnessed some of the best basket ball played during the season. Both games were hard fought from the start and in neither game were the Razor- backs able to pile up a big lead and it was their perfect team work that kept them ahead. The Aggie defense was at its best and the visitors were allowed few shots at their goal. The five-man defense of the Aggies worked admirably and kept the opponents well covered. The games were fast and the scoring was frequent. The smooth passing of the Arkansas team and the excellent defense of the Farmers were the fea¬ tures of both games. As for stars, there was a constellation of them as every man was playing at his best and it would be unfair to say that one man shone out above another. The Aggie quintet lost their opening game with S. M. U., 20-13, on the Mustangs’ home court. The game was featured by the passing of both teams and few fouls were called. The Pony defense was working and the Aggies were held to the lowest score that they made during the season, but S. M. U. was unable to gain a large lead. In the second game with the Mustangs, the Aggies were at their best, and defeated the visitors after a hard game. At the end of the second half, the score was tied, 28-28, and an extra five-minute period had to be played, but two field goals by Kyle and Sikes gave the Aggies the game, 32-30. Tucker and Sikes played brilliant games at forward, while Broad at guard played the best game of his career. Baker’s defense and Kyle’s field goals gave the Aggies the winning score. Tucker Forward Sikes Forward Timeout and Conferring Page 232 Baylor Series—Texas University The Aggies played their first conference game with the Baylor Bears at ( ollege Station. The team played well, but they still lacked experience and were a little awkward in ringing the goals though the game was steady and lagged at no time. It was pleasant to notice, however, that the vacancies left by graduation the year before had been well filled. Captain Kyle and Baker filled their places with all of the success that was expected of them, and Clark, Sikes, and McConaughey showed up well. The Farmer quintet invaded the Bruins’ lair at Waco for the last game of the series but could not wrest victory from the unwilling quadru¬ peds. With Captain Kyle leading the Aggies, the game started with a snap and the ball was kept on the go. The passing was fast and few fouls were called, but the Aggies could not get the lead and the game ended with the Bears holding the big end of the score. Near the end of the season, the Aggies visited the Capital City for their first game with Texas University. The teams were erratic and fouls were frequent. Kyle and Baker were fighting from the start and gave a good account of themselves. Tucker and Sikes did well at for¬ ward, but were unable to overcome the Longhorns’ lead. The Aggies were unable to win the last game of the season at the Memorial Gymnasium with Texas University. The difficulty in ring¬ ing the basket and the inaccurate passing was largely responsible for the loss of the game, though Tucker and Kyle both shot pretty goals at times. Baker and Tucker were the Aggie stars of the game, while Kyle led in the scoring.

Page 236 ‘Review of the Season Coach Frank Anderson TTN making a resume of the 1924-25 conference track season, JL one might well sum it up as in the main having been a dual affair between the teams from Texas University and Texas A. M. Our team won from S. M. U., Rice and Baylor by top-heavy scores but fell before the well-rounded team from the University of Texas. In the Conference Meet the spec¬ tators were given the best exhibition of track and field ath¬ letics that had ever been staged at any place in the South. Nine out of fourteen records were broken in the course of the meet and marks were made in the sprints, the mile, the pole- vault and the javelin that would be a credit to any team in the country. Ward and Both rose to unusual heights and made records in their events which along with Allison, who threw the javelin 190 feet in the Baylor meet, won places in the All-American honor roll of notable performances. These three men were written up in the Athletic Journal and action pictures of these men were published showing their form in their specialties. The Aggie runners were superior to the runners of any team in the conference, and took by far the greater number of points in the running races in every meet. In the sprints, our runners were good enough to take first, second and third. We were weak in only one run, owing to the loss of Captain-elect Gillespie in the two-mile event on account of the mumps. Five other members of the squad fell victim to the same malady and this loss alone resulted in the loss of the Southwest Conference championship. Texas won by five scant points with a score of 63 to 57. Our runners and specialty men did fine work at the Texas, Rice and Kansas Relay Carnivals. Both won first place at the Texas and at the Rice Relays by finishing ahead of some of the best sprinters of other sections of the country. At Kansas, our relay teams measured up to the best in a very fast field. We took fourth in the quarter-mile relay and in the half-mile relay, equaling the previous world’s record in the latter, only to be nosed out by inches by Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois. Some fifteen other big university teams finished behind our team in these events. Our four-mile relay team lowered the Kansas record by twenty-four seconds but took second place in a large field of entries. The problem at A. M. is to develop field men in their first years at school. The Aggie team has not had an all-round field man since the day of Tiny Keen, although many outstanding individual event men have been developed. The trouble has been that they either developed late in their career or failed to return, leaving a weakened team for the following year. Page 237 Texas University Ttelay Qantes --Tyce c T(elay Qantes The Aggies started the track season of 1925 with strong entries in both the Texas and Rice Relay Games, and entered men who did exceptionally well and were well worthy of representing A. M. The Texas and Rice Relay Games were originated last year and attracted many of America’s leading athletes, among whom were several of Olympic fame, such as Harold Osborne and Joie Ray, as well as a good many strong teams from Northern colleges and athletic clubs. The winners in each event were hotly contested and no one had a walk¬ over. In the Texas Relay Games, Poth won the 100-yard dash and the 440-yard relay team consisting of Poth, Wilson, Woolridge and Arnold, won third place. The 880-yard relay team, composed of the men named above, also won second place. At the Rice Relay Games, Poth again won the century in record-breaking time. Webb won second in the broad jump while Ward pl aced third in the pole vault and Allison and Dieterich placed second and third respectively in the javelin throw. Poth, Wilson, Woolridge and Arnold won fourth place in both the 440-yard relay and the 880-yard relay while the four-mile relay team, consisting of Capt. Weddell, Gillespie, Royal and Brock won second place, losing only to the team from Texas University. 1 he competition was strong and we were almost satisfied with the number of places that we won in the games. Olympic and nationally known athletes suffered defeat in these games. Capt.-Elect Gillespie Two-mile Capt Weddell Half-mile Ward Clearing the Bar at 12 Feet, 9 Inches Page 238 Texas A. AT.--S. AT. U. The Aggie track and field men won a rather one-sided meet when they defeated the Mustangs 97 to 20. The Farmers were far superior to the visiting team and were well balanced in all events, as the visitors’ only sensation was in Hooper, who won both the mile and the half- mile in remarkably good time. It was pleasing to note that the Farmers were doing well in the weight section and that Webb was taking care of the hurdles in admirable fashion. Ward was high point man of the meet, as he won first in the pole vault, high jump and broad jump and broke the conference record in the pole vault when he cleared the bar at 12 feet, 2 inches. Poth broke the record in both the century and the 220-yard dash and was followed closely by Wilson. Allison also broke the conference record when he threw the javelin 185 feet, 10 inches. Brock ran Hooper a pretty race in the mile and led the fast little Mustang until they reached the straightaway. Johnson also did well in the half-mile, while Gillespie and Crump easily won first and second in the two-mile. Wed¬ dell was shifted from the half-mile to the quarter-mile and won his event in fast time. Webb won both hurdle races with good form and was followed by Hart and Stanford. McKenzie and McCluney also won first places by winning the shot-put and discus throw respectively. It was an Aggie day from the time the first gun was fired until the last lap of the relay was finished and the Aggies declared winners by the large score of 97—2). Arnold Quarter-mile Page 239 Hooper Wins the Mile in the Conference Meet Texas A. ATC. - - Baylor University The Baylor Bears were unable to handle the well-balanced Aggie track team and were forced to take a 93 to 23 defeat on their home field. The Aggies were in fine form and easily took thirteen out of the fifteen events, and in many cases also won second place. The Bruins were strong in the hurdles and in the d iscus and won their only two first places in these events. Both again won the 100-yard dash in the record time of 9.8 seconds, and was closely followed by Wilson, who ran the best race of his career and pushed the Aggie flash to the finish. In the 220-yard dash, they again won both first and second place but the time was slightly lower than usual. Brock led out to win the mile in fast time and was closely followed by Captain Weddell of the Aggies. Arnold and Killian won both places in the 440- yard run in good time and Royal and Gillespie made a clean sweep of the two-mile. Brock also won the half-mile with his teammate. Johnson a close second. Jones of Baylor won the 120 high hurdles while Webb tied Stovall of Baylor for second place. Webb, however, reversed his fortune in the 220 low hurdles and de¬ feated the fast Jones. McKenzie won the shot-put and McCluney placed second in the discus. Ward was high point man of the meet with first in the pole-vault and high jump, and tied for first place with his teammate, Webb, in the broad jump. Allison won national fame in this meet by a throw of 189.5 feet in the javelin and Dieterich placed second. Other men were equally as successful but did not go so far as to break conference and national records. Again the Aggies’ day was at hand. Dieterich Javelin Brock Mile The Finish of the 440- Yard Rim in the Conference Meet Page 240 Texas ' -A. JYC. - - c Riee Institute The Texas Aggies easily won the dual meet with the Rice Owls and piled up the rather one-sided score of 96 to 21. The meet was held in Houston on the new track at Rice, which was in good condition for a fast meet. The Farmers had little competition, however, and had little trouble in winning the various events. Rice won only two undisputed first places when they won the discus throw and Smiley out-jumped Webb of the Aggies. Luckey of Rice also did well and finished close to the flashy Poth in the 100-yard dash. As usual, Poth started the fireworks by breaking the record in the century when he covered the distance in 9 4-5 seconds. Royal and the long, slender Crump ran the mile in good form and won both first and second place. Webb took the 120-yard high hurdles at a fast pace and finished first with Eiser of Rice second. Poth again tore down the track to finish the 220-yard dash in the time of 21.4, .2 of a second faster than the record he set in the conference meet. Wool- ridge ran a pretty race and finished second. Webb also won the 220 low hurdles and Gillespie ran a record two-mile with the unwearying Royal second. Captain Weddell won the quarter-mile with Arnold second; and Ward, as usual, won the pole-vault and tied for first in the high jump. McKenzie and Waugh won both first and second in the shot-put while Allison and Dieterich made a clean sweep of the javelin. Brock of the Aggies ran a fast half with Johnson a close second, and the scoring ended when the Farmers won the relay. Everybody was expecting an Aggie victory but very few expected such a victory or McKenzie such a one-sided score that was presented this day. Shot-Put Killian Quarter-mile 16 Texas ' ' A. zM. —Texas University The Farmer track and field men suffered their first defeat of the season when they lost to the well-balanced team from the University of Texas at Kyle Field, May 2. The Aggies were off form and in poor condition and were without the services of Gillespie, the star two-miler, who was stricken with the mumps. However, the meet was fast and six confere nce records were broken and one record was tied. Although the loss of the meet was a disappointment to the Aggie fans, hope for a championship was not abandoned and the defeat only caused the men to work harder. Poth started the meet when he ran the 100-yard dash to tie the conference record of 10 seconds, which was slightly slower than his usual time; but in the 220-yard dash, “Dusty” hit his stride and ran the distance in record time. In both of these races, Cockrell of Texas took second place. Arnold ran the prettiest race of the meet w r hen he sprinted in to nose out Budd of Texas after a hard race, but his teammates were unable to place in the half-mile as the Longhorns took both places. Brock of the Aggies gave Reese a good race in the mile and pushed him to the finish. Without Gillespie, the Farmers were powerless in the two-mile and Esquival and Williams took both places in remarkable time. Webb took second place in the 220 low hurdles and McCluney placed second in the discus. Ward broke the conference record by vaulting 12 feet, 6 inches, and also placed second in the high jump. Dieterich and Allison took both places in the javelin as usual and Texas won the relay. This day saw many reversals for both the Agg ' es and for Texas. Conferences did not mean verv much for competitors on this day. They failed to stand as many were broken. Poth Dashes Royal Mile and Tiro-Mile Page 242 The Aggie track .and field men lost the Southwest Conference Track Championship to Texas University after one of the fastest and hardest contested meets ever held in the South. Old records meant nothing as record after record fell before the onslaughts of the battling teams as they fought for each point. New records were set in ten out of the fifteen events that constitute the program of a track meet and the marks achieved in the other five events were close to the record. Sel¬ dom are two track teams so well balanced, and it is extremely rare that so many records are set in the course of a single afternoon. The achievements of this meet will compare favorably with those of any other conference in the United States, and there are few colleges who had better balanced teams. The scoring started when “Dusty” Poth shot down the track to set the new record of ! 9.9 seconds in the 100-yard dash and Wilson I followed him closely to win second place. In the next race, Webb took the hurdles in excel- Kc) “ lent form and won third place for the Aggies, thus holding the big lead over all rivals. The mile caused quite a sensation and provoked a lot of speculation as the runners took their places, as there were four milers j j of note among them. Reese of Texas, Hooper of S. M. U., and Royal and Brock of A. M. The fight started from the crack of the pistol Kr ' Clfttl an d l as t e d until Hooper broke the tape in record time and Royal fin- WK w V I ished second with Brock fourth. The shot-put, however, cut down the Aggie lead as McKenzie placed fourth in spite of a mighty heave that came close to the record. The spectators were again brought to Webb their feet when the pistol announced the start of the 220-yard dash Hurdles and Broad Jump and the flashing Poth showered the track with cinders as he set a new Ward Pole Vault and Jumps Dusty Poth Wins the 220-Yard Dash Page 243 Conference CMeet —Qmtinued conference record in that event, his second record of the day. Wilson and Woolridge came right behind him to win second and third and thus gave the Aggies a clean sweep in the dashes. Arnold ran a pretty quar¬ ter-mile and pushed the fast Higgins of Oklahoma A. M. to the finish. Captain Weddell of the Aggies ran the best race of his career when he sprinted in to win the half-mile after a hard race with Madden of Rice. It was in the next event, the pole-vault, that Ward won national fame when he rose with perfect form to clear the bar at 12 feet, 9 inches, bettering the conference record by 8 inches. Although Royal had al¬ ready run the mile, he entered the two-mile and won third place, while Webb again sailed over the hurdles to win second in the 220 low hurdles. Dieterich hurled the javelin 181 feet to win first place and Allison placed fourth. Ward won second in the high jump and Appleman tied for third. The Aggies then finished their scoring when the relay team composed of Arnold, Killian, Blair and Captain Weddell won second place, losing first place by inches to Texas University. Although Royal did well in the two-mile and ran a pretty race in spite of his wearied condition, the loss of Captain-elect Gillespie in the two-mile was keenly felt. Parker was also weakened by the mumps and was unable to enter the quarter-mile. Had the entire squad been in top form there likely would have been a different score sent in to the files of the Southwest conference for the season of 1924-1925.

JTC. Freshmen Track Team HEN the annual spring call for Freshmen track men was issued, about thirty or forty v v enthusiastic Freshmen responded. The cold winter winds were still blowing and the spring sun had not yet appeared but under the able coaching of Clem Davis, the team started to work. As many of the men had had very little track experience, it was necessary to start slowly and train the men in proper form. Each man was given individual attention in his event and gradually the work was increased. By the time warm weather appeared, the men were in good condition and hard work on the cinder track was soon under way. The team was bountifully blessed with a wealth of capable runners and in every event, there was plenty of competition. As a result of the intramural cross-country races, the distances were filled with capable men in every event. The quarter-mile and sprints were also popular but there were few to tackle the hurdles. The husky Fish responded to the lure of the weights and soon the shot, discus, and javelin were whipping through the air for good distances. The pole vault and jumps attracted the remainder of the men and a well balanced team was formed. Due to the lack of finances and the heavy financial outlay connected with putting on a good track meet, very few Freshmen track meets were held during the season. In the only dual meet of the season, the Fish trimmed the Allen Academy cadets in good form and won by a large score. The remainder of the season, the meets with the varsity gave the Freshmen more than enough competition.

Page 24$ I eyiew of the Season HILE the baseball season of 1925 was not a bril- v v liant one for the Aggies, a remarkable improvement was seen in the style of play and the interest taken in the game by the men. Upon his return to Texas A. M., Coach Rothgeb, former Illinois football and baseball star, was given the task of directing the baseball affairs of the Farmers and the whole-hearted way in which he did his work showed remarkable results in the improvement of his team. Under his direction, new styles of play were intro¬ duced and a teamwork was developed that stood the Aggies in good stead and gave great promise of strong teams in the future. The Aggies were weak in no one position and the team was very well balanced. On the defense, they played remarkably well and the majority of the games that were lost were lost in the ninth inning or in extra innings that had to be played. The batting weakness was their greatest difficulty to overcome, and it was this defect that lost most of the games when only a single hit was needed to bring in the necessary run for victory. The support of the pitcher was very creditable and the fielding was excellent. Considering the interest that was taken in the game, the Farmers did not make a bad show¬ ing because there were many excellent teams in the Southwest Conference. No game was lost by a large margin and defeat came only after a hard fight for victory. New adjustments had to be made with the institution of new methods and time and experience are essential factors to any successful team. With a warm, fair spring, the Aggies quickly adjusted themselves and the improvement that was made is a credit to both the team and to the coach. These men are deserving of all the credit they are given by the cadet corps and more too. Their sacrifices are numerous, but their love for the game and for A. M. makes these soon forgotten.

JhC. —Southern Tacific— TJce Series The pre-season game with the Southern Pacific nine of Ennis was featured throughout by brilliant plays and good work by both teams, especially the heavy hitting of the Ennis team. The Farmers we re badly out of shape and lacked teamwork, although Rogers and Hillian showed up well on the mound. The Farmers were unable to win their first game with Rice at Houston and lost 6—5. The Aggies started the scoring and held a two-run lead through the first three innings, but let the Owls get two runs in the fourth to tie the score. The Farmers tallied another run in the fourth inning and two in the ninth, but allowed the Rice nine to run in a score in the eighth and two in the ninth to again tie the score. The batting weakness of the Aggies was shown when the Owls tallied in the tenth and they were unable to score a run. Hillian, Koerth and Rogers were all used on the mound, while Tucker was the swat king of the day, as he made three hits out of five trips to the bat, one of which was a three-base hit. In the second game with Rice at College Station, the Aggies had better luck and defeated the Owls, 5—4. Koerth pitched for the Aggies through the seventh inning when he allowed Rice to bring in three runs. The Farmers overcame the one-point lead in the eighth, and in the ninth a two-base hit by Kyle and a single by Baker brought in the winning run. The Aggies showed pretty teamwork in this game and gave the Owls a hard fight. This was the first of the Conference series and the loss was never fully overcome in the remaining part of the season. Captain-elect Kyle Right Field Schueneman Shows Good Form Behind the Bat Page 250 ■ ' JhCmnesota Series — S. SSSC. U. The Farmers split honors with the strong Minnesota nine in the pre-season games at Kyle Field. The visiting team brought a formidable club and gave the Aggies a hard fight. The Aggies were unable to win the first game but won the second one by an exhibition of good team¬ work and pitching ability. The Farmer outfield showed up well and did some pretty work in throwing in the balls, but there were several weak spots in the infield. Schueneman behind the bat and Bell at third showed up well. The Aggies won their first game of the season on Kyle Field when they came from behind to defeat the Mustangs. In the seventh inning, the S. M. U. team gained a one-point lead but three runs brought in in the ninth inning gave the game to the Farmers. Captain Rogers threw some beautiful curves and held the Mustangs to six hits, and the scor¬ ing honors were divided between Tucker, Puck¬ ett, Baker, Kyle, Schueneman and Johnson. Baker furnished the thrill of the game with the only three-base hit, but the team showed up well as a whole and kept the game interesting. The Farmers were unable to win the second game with the Mus¬ tangs, but played excellent ball and only lost by one point. The pitch¬ ing of Hillian could hardly have been improved on, while Williams gets credit for both scores. The Aggies were able to place men on bases several times but could not produce the hit when needed to bring in the winning tally. Bell Third Base Series Baker Shortstop Williams Scores Another Ran Page 251 T. £. U. Series The Farmers were unsuccessful in their hrst game with the Horned Frogs from Fort Worth at Kyle Field. Although the game was hard fought and the score was close, the Aggies were unable to bring in the winning run at the critical time. They were able to gain a three-run lead over the Horned Frogs, but two hits combined with two costly errors allowed the visitors to run in three runs in the eighth inning. Neither team was able to score in the ninth and extra innings had to be played. In the twelfth, T. C. U. obtained the necessary run to win the game, 4 to 3. Hillian showed excellent form on the mound and held the Horned Frogs to two hits until the eighth when they got two more to tie the score. Bell and Puckett were both good at the bat and each scored a three-base hit. This was one of the hardest fought and best played games of the season at Kyle Field. The following week the Aggies again played the Horned Frogs and lost the game after a close game that carried over into the tenth inning. The T. C. U. nine obtained a five-point lead early in the contest and the Farmers were unable to score. They rallied in the eighth, however, and brought in three runs and tied the score in the ninth with three more runs. Taylor of T. C. U. brought in a run and gave the Frogs a one-point lead that the Aggies were unable to overcome. The credit for the Farmers runs was divided between Bell, Tucker, Puckett and Kyle. The team played well and it was only the batting weakness that lost the game. Crawford Second Base Hillian Pitcher Puckett at Bat Page 252 Oklahoma Series The Aggie nine divided honors with the Oklahoma Aggies in a two-game series, and though they lost the first game, they won the second with the largest score of the season, 12—0. The Farmers started the scoring in the first game by bringing in five runs in the first inning and were able to hold this lead until the fourth when Oklahoma made two runs. The lead was then given to the opposing team in the eighth when they bunched their hits to run in four scores and they again scored in the ninth with still another run. The Aggies were unable to bring in their men and could not overcome the lea d and the game ended 7—5, with the Oklahoma Aggies winners. Kyle and Johnson both made three-base hits and there were several times when the Aggies were close to scoring but the necessary hit was lacking. The following day the Texas Farmers were not depressed by the loss of the previous game, and played a brilliant game to shut the Oklahoma nine out completely. The Aggie batters were right for the day and the hitting was heavy throughout the game. Kyle starred with the stick by a beautiful home-run in the sixth, and Baker was close behind with a three-base hit in the seventh. Puckett also did well and made three two-base hits. There were few errors and the infield showed up ex¬ ceedingly well. The smooth teamwork and support of the pitcher gave the Aggies a perfect game and kept the opponents from scoring. The entire team was at its best in this game and took a well-earned victory. Koerth Pitcher Johnson First Base- Page 251 ‘Baylor Series The first game of the Baylor series was played in Waco on Carroll Field and though the Aggies played well, the Bruins were victorious with a 6—2 score. Rogers started the game as the Farmer hurler and produced his usual brand of fast, tricky pitching. The Aggies had the upper hand of the game and Rogers was holding the Bears to very few hits until the fifth inning, when the Baylor nine bunched their hits and scored. For the rest of the game they continued their hitting and the Farmers were unable to overcome the big lead that was obtained. The Aggies were hitting fairly well but the hits were scat¬ tered and the team could not bunch their hits to bring in the men on die bases. Baylor, however, got the credit for the largest number of hits, though the Aggies had good team-play and their pitchers were in good form. In the second game of the series which was played at Kyle Field, the Aggies were again unable to win, though they played a good game and gave the visitors a good fight. Koerth was on the mound for the first seven innings but was replaced by Hillian in the eighth. The scoring started in the first inning when the Aggies brought in a run, but two tallies in the third gave the Bears the lead. This score remained unchanged until the eighth when the Bruins brought in two more runs. The Farmers also rallied and scored two runs and another in the ninth, but another tally in the ninth gave Baylor a 5—4 victory. SCHUENEMAN Catcher Puckett Center Field Johnson at Bat Pane IS4 Southwestern Series—Trinity Qame f ' lp ' HE Aggies showed some of the best baseball form of the season in A the first of a two-game series with the Southwestern University nine from Georgetown. Playing on a warm, still day, the Farmers showed some of the best teamwork of the year and played a close game. Rogers on the mound gave a good pitching exhibition and gave the opponents very few hits. The batting of the team as a whole was better than usual and resulted in a lead which the Pirates were unable to over¬ come, thus giving the Aggies a 3 to 2 victory when Bell knocked a sensa¬ tional home run into the football bleachers in the ninth inning. In the second game, the Aggies were not so fortunate but played a hard game. Hillian was sent to the pitcher’s box and pitched his usual fast brand of ball. The Farmers got several good hits but were unable to bring in the men on bases. With the score running close, the two teams fought it out to the last when South¬ western won by a one-run lead. In the game with Trinity University, the Aggies played as they had seldom played and in this game, they showed an ability to hit as well as a good defense. Koerth showed his real ability as a hurler and turned in the best record of the year when he held the opponents to two hits. The game early turned into a pitcher’s duel but the honors went to the Aggie hurler and the game ended with a 2 to victory for the Farmers. Tucker Second Base Stieneker First Base- Page 255 Johnson knocks a high one Texas University Series The Aggies met their ancient rivals for the first game of their series in the capital city at Clark Field. The Farmers were off form and were very erratic in their playing. Though they out-hit the Longhorns and made four hits to their opponents three, the perfect teamwork of the Longhorns gave them the game and shut the Aggies out with one lone tally. The Texas nine started the game with four runs in the first in¬ ning and another in the third. They were unable to complete another run but held the Aggies scoreless until the ninth inning when the only Farmer tally was made. Several times they put men on bases but were unable to bring them in. Crawford starred for the Aggies and made their only three-base hit. The Farmers played the last game of the 1925 season with the Longhorns at Kyle Field. Though it was a brilliant and hard-fought game, the opponents were victorious with a 7 to 3 tally. Captain Rogers pitched his last game and gave all he had though he was unsuccessful in winning the game. The Longhorns were the first to tickle the score- board with three runs in the first inning and another in the third. The Aggies rallied in the sixth and brought in two runs but were still behind their rivals who also scored in the same inning. The Steers ended their scoring with three runs in the ninth and the sensational home run by Tucker failed to give the Aggies the needed points for victory. This ended the season—not entirely unsuccessful, for it was in this year the Aggies played great baseball, but the competition was stronger and defeat at times was inevitable.

The Texas squad has always given the Aggies their hardest competition and this season was no exception. The meet was held on November 7, and was started early so as to finish in the Memorial Stadium immediately before the Texas-Baylor football game. The course started at the gymnasium and led out over four miles of rough hills following the streets and roads of the vicinity to finish at the stadium. True to form, Esquival of Texas took the lead and set a fast-tiring pace. He was closely followed by his teammate, Conner, and Macy of the Aggies. At the halfway mark, Esquival drew away from the men where a grinding fight was taking place ■■■■■■■■■■■■I as the men fought to hold their pace up and down the steep hills. I Esquival broke the tape in remarkably I good time, and was followed by Conner and I Macy, who furnished the sensation of the race by their sprint for the I finish. Crump was the next Aggie to place after a pretty run and was I followed by Johnson, Childers and Killian in the order named. I As Coach Anderson says these are only daily workouts, because ■ it is the Conference meet in which we must show our stuff.” The � I men did well, as is shown later in the Conference meet held in Houston, I ' jp. ■ in which the Aggies were victorious and won the Southwestern Confer- ence Championship for season of 1925-26. Killian Captain Coach Anderson Page 2bl Texas taf. Q J TYC.—Tice Institute The F ' armer squad won from the Rice Owls in the second meet of the season when they out-ran the Rice squad by the score of 16 to 43 as the lowest score wins in cross-country. The course was rough and muddy and under water in places. Starting at the gymnasium, it formed a large figure eight out across a rice field, where a slippery trail had been cleared out. Bowen of the Aggies was first to cross the line and break the tape. He was closely followed by Crump, who came sliding after him. Macy and Childers sprinted against each other for the last half mile, with Childers finishing in the lead. They were followed by Greer of Rice and Captain Killian and Johnson of the Aggies. Haile was unable to finish as he over-judged his endurance and fell unconscious within sight of the finish. Both teams began with a rather slow start, and tried to hold a moderate pace through the first part of the race in order to conserve their strength and not wear themselves out on the muddy course before the finish. Greer of Rice took the lead in the middle of the race, but was unable to hold it long and soon gave way to Crump and Bowen of the Farmers. The course was in a figure eight and in¬ cluded pavements as well as the water-soaked rice fields. This slowed the time up very much and neither team showed the form they had on previous races. Credit is due largely to the condition the Aggies were in that they won the meet with such a low score. Bowen The Cross-Country Start Page 262 Conference ChCeet The Aggie team won the first Southwest Championship of the year when they won the Conference Meet at Houston on November 21. They won a decisive victory by placing five men in the first nine places, giving them the lowest score made in a Conference Meet in several years. The Texas University team was favored to win as they had previously won from the Farmers, but the Aggies were faster harriers than they were hill- climbers and proved to be very good mudhens in the Houston marshes. Esquival took the lead from the start and contented himself ' with a moderate pace. He was closely trailed by his team-mate, Conner. Crump surprised every one by passing them up in the middle of the race and speeding up the pace. Esquival again took the lead, however, in the last half mile, but was consistently pushed by Crump until the tape was broken, with Esquival slightly in the lead. Bowen in the meantime passed up Conner, to win third, while Childers and Macy fought it out on the last sprint for the finish, with Childers winning fifth and Macy sixth. Hooper of S. M. U. fol¬ lowed them in for seventh place, with Greer of Rice eighth. Though __ bothered with a bad side, Captain Killian of the Aggies ran a pretty Jgt) race and finished the scoring when he won ninth place. Johnson came ■jflf in close on Killian’s heels and Haile finished to win twelfth. r c n Childers Macy Page 263 The Race Begins The Texas zjT. zJfrf. Polo Squad p N October 1, 1925, Captain Cheshire, Cavalry, D. O. L., having been placed in charge of polo activities at A. and M. College, issued a call, asking that all cavalry juniors and seniors interested in polo report to him at the cavalry stables. About thirty hearty polo enthusiasts answered the call and all through the year have supported the sport with the spirit of true cavalry. From this number eight cadets were chosen who seemed to show a general aptitude for the game and a willingness to practice. These men turned out daily to practice and those who had been eliminated assisted with the ponies. A polo association was formed and sufficient funds were raised within the Cavalry Squadron to buy suitable equipment such as polo caps, polo boots for the ponies, and polo mallets. Every one in the Squadron did his bit and assisted Captain Cheshire in every way possible. The polo team was handicapped in many respects but mainly by the horse problem. The polo ponies were old and slow and some of them entirely unsuited for polo. In spite of this, when one stops to consider that the team on such mounts went to Houston, played a well organized, well mounted team, and in an eight chukker game, only lost by a single goal it is quite remark¬ able. The “stick work” and individual riding of the Aggies was of a high order but excellent team-work could not be reached on account of slow, awkward mounts. Another big handicap was that of finances. It takes money to equip and support a good polo team and the team had practically no financial backing. What little was used to buy equipment came out of the Polo Association funds to which each member of the cavalry con¬ tributed. However, a start was made, and it is hoped that more interest will be taken in polo at A. and M. from year to year so that some day, the young men who contributed in such a generous way this year will be able to point out with pride the achievements and progress made by the Texas A. and M. Polo Association. Russell, Davis, Oakes. McCutcheon, Captain; Floyd, Sharp, Luckenbach, Broad Page 264 Tennis RESULTS OF DUAL MEETS Texas A. M ...............................

Competitive matches are held each year with the other schools in the conference and the competition is hard and fast as may be seen from the fact that the team from Texas University won first place in the National Intercollegiate Matches in the doubles and placed high as individual players. The tennis players worked hard and spent many hours of practice at Kyle Field in order to ably represent A. M. in the Southwest Conference and showed the same indomitable will to win and fight that characterizes all Aggie teams. With the fine coaching of Coach Thomas, they have done much and show promise of a good team in future years. The team was not so fortunate in winning the dual matches of the 1925 season, but they played determinedly and consistently. They were unable to win from Rice in the opening meet of the season, as they lost to the Owls 6—0, and S. M. U. won the next meet by the score of 5—-1. T. C. U. barely managed to win by a 4—2 victory, but in the meet with Baylor, the Aggies played the best tennis of the season and forced the Bears to a 3—3 draw. The Farmers were unable to withstand the furious attack of the Texas team, however, and were forced to take a 6—0 loss. Although the majority of the meets were lost, the Aggies played well and made a good record. Captain-Elect Anderson Captain Underwood Daily Practice Page 266 T eyiew of the Season—Qontinued “Monk” Lnderwood played a smashing game and seldom resorted to chops, taking the net whenever possible and battering down the opposition. It was seldom that a ball passed him at the net, and those that did were the lobs that were too high for him to reach. “Monk” used a serve that was a reverse twist, and though not hard, it was ex¬ tremely difficult to handle. “Sonny” kdmunson took the back of the court for his defense and used a series of chops and low cuts well placed. His drives were usually accurate for he would use the chop stroke until the ball bounced favor¬ ably and then drive hard and fast. When forced to take the net by short chops, he resorted to placements rather than passing his opponents with drives. Bill Barce played a smashing game entirely, as his serve was an overhead smash of some kind. Bill’s theory was haste, for he preferred to win or lose with one stroke and he won much in this way. He was equally as well at ease at the net or the baseline and drove from either. Anderson played neither chops nor drives but consistently returned the ball and waited for his opponent to drive into the net. In this way he won more matches than any other member of the team, as there were few players who had the patience to play in this manner. Every man on the entire squad showed a form of tennis seldom found in any individual, but they did not function as well together as other teams and were off somewhat in the end when the curtain fell on the tennis season. Edmunson Page 207 McCabe Returns a Fast Service The Texas 4. TMh. Qolj Qlub f S OLF has held an increasingly prominent place among the sports of A. and M. for the past few years and each succeeding season has seen the circle of the devotees to the game aug¬ mented by a steady stream of new converts. With the attraction possessed by no other sport of being an all-year sport, golf gradually began to wean men to its folds from each class and type on the campus. The fall of 1924 was marked by the especially noticeable interest in the game, and in the spring of 1925, golf took its first firm hold at A. and M., with the organization of a golf club. Some twenty members united in sponsoring a series of tournaments that aroused much interest and resulted in keen competition. When the fall term began the following scho¬ lastic year, the club was reorganized and under the leadership of H. Brehmer and Jimmie Landon as president and secretary, definite plans were made to bring golf to the front. About fifty men comprise the club and it is remarkable to note that over half of this number are freshmen. This fact is taken as assurance that each successive class will take a more and more prominent part in promoting golf as a sport here. The interest displayed by the members of the club led Coach Bible to believe that the time was ripe for golf to assume an important place among the campus sports. Several representatives at the Southwest Conference meetings in the past have been giving some consideration to the game and with the vote of A. and M., they were enabled to establish golf as a Southwest Confer¬ ence sport. The first conference match to be held in Houston in May marks an epic in the prog¬ ress of golf in the Southwest, and it is only a matter of time until the majority of the southwestern colleges will follow the example of their eastern sisters and schedule dual matches with one an¬ other.

The Athletic Council, in March, 1925, appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws to govern intramural athletics. This constitution and by-laws was submitted to and approved by the Athletic Council in May, 1925. The Intramural Board is the governing body of the Intramural Athletic Association and conducts all of the activities and business incident to this organization. The board consists of: The Director of Intramural Athletics, chairman of the board; Professor of Physical Educa¬ tion; one member of the faculty, appointed by the Athletic Council; Senior Manager of Intra¬ mural Athletics; and one student representative from the Senior Class to act also as Secretary of the Board. The Intramural Board determines the activities that shall be conducted and makes all the necessary rules governing the various sports; rules on all protests; drafts all schedules; de¬ cides upon eligibility of all players; and such other matters that would logically come before the Board for consideration. The purpose of Intramural Athletics is to give every student an opportunity to participate in some form of competitive athletics, therefore, it is the aim of the Board to promote as many different forms of competition as facilities, time, and money will permit. Leagues are formed in cross-country, basket ball, f ootball, and playground ball; tourna¬ ments are held in tennis, handball, wrestling, boxing, gymnastics, swimming, etc. By con¬ ducting a variety of sports and games it is hoped that each student may find something that specially interests him and that his interest will then lead him to try his skill in some new activity in which he is a novice. In this way, a single interest may be the means of developing many interests which will do much towards helping the individual student to find some activity that is beneficial and in which he can participate enjoyably and with healthful profit.

Ralph President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Case isi The Senior Qub ||_ 0R many years the need of activities to bring the classes closer together has been keenly Jb felt by everyone who has attended A. and M. College. The Freshman Class is united by mutual sympathy, the Sophomore and Junior classes were once cemented by the Junior Banquet, but nothing was ever done along this line for the Senior Class until last year. It was with this idea in mind that the Y. M. C. A. generously offered a large room furnished with lounges, pool tables, victrolas, rugs and chairs, on the condition that the Seniors use it throughout the year. It was accepted by the Senior Class and men were elected to look after its welfare and keep up the interest in its activities. At the beginning of this scholastic year the Senior Club was started again, with J. G. Ross as manager. About the middle of the first term the Senior Class voted to extend the privileges of the Senior Club to the “T” Association. This was accepted by the “T” Association for in doing this it would bring the Seniors and the “T” men of the different classes closer together and tend to raise the standard of the “T” while assuring the co-operation of both groups for the best interest of the school. From money left from the Thanksgiving Hop the Club room will be decorated and pictures of the various athletic teams of past and present years will be mounted in logical order. There will also be individual pictures of the outstanding athletes of each team. In this way the past, present and future triumphs of the school on the athletic field will be perpetuated. It has the best wishes of the entire Senior Class and it is to be ' hoped that the future classe s will carry on and improve the usefulness of the Senior Club. It supplies a much-needed place where Seniors can spend a quiet hour of pleasure among their own mates. In this way the friendships of the class are cemented during their last year in dear ole’ Aggieland. Senior Club Room Page 282 CAMPUS ACTIVITIES Page 283 T. zM. £. zA. OFFICIAL STAFF W. H.

Its very existence is due to the fact that there was a deep felt need for such an institution. The “Y” Building is a handsome four-story structure, well equipped throughout to meet the needs of the students. The basement contains a Barber Shop, Confectionery, Swimming Pool and Pool Hall. The second, or main floor, is equipped with confortable upholstered fur¬ niture and is used as a lobby, reading, and gameroom. The third floor is also furnished with comfortable chairs, sofas etc., and is commonly spoken of as the “Y” parlors. Part of the fourth floor has been set apart for the Senior Class and is used as a Club Room. It is furnished with pool tables, sofas, game and writing tables. The 1925 Senior Class donated to the Club several choice pictures. The Class of ’26 has also provided for a substantial gift. The “T” Club has been invited to share this club room with the Seniors and it is probable that they will accept. In that case additional room will be given the Clubs. The Y. M. C. A. Staff is made up of three Secretaries, a Faculty Advisory Board, and a Student Cabinet of twenty members. These men are all genuinely interested in the work of the “Y” and the highest welfare of the students. It is their earnest desire to find out how the “Y” may the most effectively serve the student body. They welcome at all times suggestions and constructive criticisms. Ihe Y. M. C. A. staff is instrumental in bringing to the campus each week two of the best picture shows available. And also from time to time high class musical entertainments are brought to the campus under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.

Com¬ petition was very keen and for seven weeks these men worked diligently from day to day, making many personal sacrifices in order to devote all of their time to stock judging. On November 5th Coach D. W. Williams announced the team. The personnel of the team was the same as of the Junior Team last year that won at Oklahoma City and Ft. Worth—W. M. Pinson, Forney, Texas; Jack Turner, Hillsboro, Texas; J. C. Idol, Coleman, Texas; J. G. Gillespie, Coleman, Texas; S. A. ' Debnam, Lamesa, Texas, and D. G. Talbot, Ft. Worth, Texas. The team entered the Kansas City contest November 14th. Twelve states were repre¬ sented at this contest. Our boys “came through” in great style and won the contest with a score of 4,382. W. M. Pinson was high man of the Texas team and was second in the entire contest with a score of 915 out of a possible 1,000. He was also high man in judging sheep and second in horses and mules. J. G. Gillespie was second in judging of hogs. This is the first time A. and M. has ever won the contest at Kansas City. Seven days were spent judging all breeds and classes of livestock at the Kansas City show and visiting the various stock farms around Kansas City. Before arriving in Chicago the team judged at Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa; Purdue, Lafayette, Ind.; University Illinois, Urbana, 111 . The team entered the International Contest Saturday, November 28, determined to put forth every effort to win. Twenty-two states were represented, one hundred and ten men com¬ peting. The slogan was, “Beat Texas; they own two legs on the Bull.” Our men would not admit defeat until the final score was announced. The contest was won by Oklahoma A. and M. which had been defeated in three contests by the Texas team. Texas finished fifth, 92 points more than a Texas team had ever scored before. Out-scored but not out-fought. Every break went against the team, especially in the judging of swine. D. G. Talbot was high man on the Texas team and was high in the entire contest in the judging of sheep. We realize that on the team this year we had six men who knew livestock and had years of experience in judging. The team was well balanced (as shown by the fact that there were 16 points between the high man and the low man on the team in the Chicago Contest). But as we did not win this year let us not be discouraged but come back next year to avenge ourselves for the defeat this fall.

On this date J. F. Ford, FI. L. Peterson, M. L. Paul, J. H. Royder and a number of other men reported for training. After a few days work on the College herd and a short training trip to Waco, the team started northward. One day was spent in Dallas where the men could judge at Flowerdale Farms and at the farm of W. B. Orr. At Kansas City the team judged at the Longview farm, and then journeyed to Waterloo, Iowa, to get the baptism of fire at the Dairy Cattle Congress. The results of this contest were fairly satisfactory. Five days were spent in Waterloo after the con¬ test while the team worked on some of the fine cattle that were at this exceptionally strong show. From Waterloo Coach Darnell took the team into southern Wisconsin, “the heart of the dairy cattle kingdom.” While in this country the famous Carnation Farms at Oconomowoc and the Pabst Farms at Waukesha were visited. The Texans then doubled back through Chicago, traveled east to spend one day in Champaign, Illinois, at the University; and then on east to Lafayette, Indiana, where the long training was wound up at Purdue. With the training all over all thoughts turned to Indianapolis, and the great National Dairy Show and Students’ Judging Contest. The day before the contest was one of rest for the team, and on the morning for the battle the men were primed for action. The final results of the contest were not yet compiled when the team started its homeward journey, but they were wired by the coach to the team in Kansas City. The ninth place won by the men was considered fair when taking into consideration the thirty-four strong teams entered in the mammoth contest. M. L. Paul led the team at the national, followed by Peterson and Ford. Little “Tut” Royder completed the team and supplied numerous flashes of humor to keep up good morale. The entire trip was a pleasant experience for the Texans, and especially so because of the cordial welcome that Texas teams are accorded in the middle west. Page 287 Former Students Association E BELIEVE that the Association of Former Students of the Agricultural and Mechanical vv College of Texas has made a sufficient contribution to the welfare of the mother institu¬ tion, the graduates and ex-students of the College and the present-day cadet that such a ques¬ tion could never be asked. And that record of accomplishment has been written in two years, following the rejuvenation and rehabilitation of the association. From the standpoint of student loans, alone, the Association has amply justified its existence. For the scholastic year 1925-26 a total of more than 600 student loans aggregating $40,000 will be made by this association, which has been working with the creation of this loan fund for less than two years. The gift of $25,000 by the Agricultural Foundation of the Sears-Roebuck Co. for loans to boys engaged in the study of agriculture gave a big stimulus to this work. This gift was largely made possible through the vision of A. K. Short, formerly with the Extension Service of the College, now director of the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. The organization of the Texas Educational Mutual Life Insurance Co., with the viewpoint of creating an endowment through the sale of commercial as well as endowment insurance, the endowment making the Association the beneficiary, is another project undertaken by the Associa¬ tion just recently. It is believed that in the years to come sufficient returns will accrue to make it possible for the Association to do much constructive work for the College. Other objectives too numerous to be enumerated are carried on by the Association. It takes a prominent part in the location of former students as well as undergraduates in adequate jobs. In fact the purpose of the organization may be very generally stated to be to help out on any and every project which means for the betterment of the College, its former sons and its present- day students.

Pinson Business Manager Jack Williams Editor-in- Chief f’fpvHE editors of the Battalion have tried to make their editorials reflect iL popular undergraduate opinion. We have attempted to keep in the field of fresh and stimulating discussion in our editorials, absolutely refusing to write tirades against walking on the grass, philippics on class spirit, and acclamations flattering the “big men” in the college. In short, we have conceived a college newspaper as having a function, aside from its natural journalistic service, of giving men practice in journalism. We have tried at all times to express stu¬ dent opinion in no mistakable terms. We have refused to be a subsidiary and express opinions held by organizations and individuals. Rather, we have deem¬ ed it our duty to attack students, organizations, the faculty, not with malice, but with the idea of creating a perpetual co-operation between students and between students and the faculty. Every effort has been made to avoid carping criticism and cheap smartness. We have tried to have our articles ex¬ press thoughtful, honest, and sincere opinions of undergraduates. Where affairs were considered to be conducted in an admirable manner, the article has said so. Where certain weaknesses and fallacies were seen by undergrad¬ uates, the article likewise said so.

E. McQuillen ' HP ' HE TXEAS AGGIE, official bi-monthly publication of the Association of Je former students, strives to hold the great body of departed A. and M. men into the same close group that existed when they were in school. Going to every corner of the United States and to the farthest parts of the earth, the Aggie carries its message of new ' s about the College and its multiple activities. The location and progress of A. and M. men in every line of the World’s work are recorded, to be read eagerly by their scattered friends, marriages, deaths, pro¬ motions, births and the thousand and one little personal items regarding a man’s life are printed as they come to light in order that the Fraternity of A. and M. men will not languish through separation and isolation from each other. The Aggie further serves as a medium through which scores of our men are placed in employment every year; or enabled to advantageously change employ¬ ment. The aim and objectives of the College itself, along with the handicaps and barriers with which it must contend, are discussed and suggestions as to how the individual may do his part in the battle are made. The Texas Aggie is the cement that binds the structure of the Association of former students. It is the link that holds them so close to their Alma Mater, and brings its problems so vitally to them. It is a meeting place for our World- scattered A. and M. family. AGGIELAND W ofeos —• MaqvinMimmz CLA or 9Zo. Some may jrow- ess bold,.

College, and in February, 1922, the Dallas A. and M. College Mother’s Club was organized with ll members. With little or no precedents to follow, the Club has prospered and the present membership of 100 is happy to render a service to our boys. Student loan fund and extension of other clubs are the principal objectives. ACTIVITIES Annual spread for Dallas boys; Mother and Son holiday luncheon; Commencement Greetings to Graduates; Co-operation with Association of former students in legislative matters. Mrs. H. L.

He who gets axed in this section need not feel pained in any particular part of the anatomy, for it is as Bill Shakespeare said each night before retiring, “He who gets axed gathers no moss.” We have tried hard to give you something new and different this year and we sincerely hope that we have succeeded as well as our foot¬ ball team did when it defeated the U. of T. 28 “till they get some.” The Editor. Historical Hat a Presented zjdt the Sociable bh(on- sense Seminar (Concerning Who Founded THAT Ho!! Heave the old galley to shore, mates, methinks me that I see v V a likely place to land.” Zounds!! it was no sooner said than done by fifteen and twenty of the ablest sailors in all of Spain who were under the command of one Bernardo Sbisa. After three weeks of labor the anchor was dropped without breaking anything and the legion came ashore. It might be best that the author explain right here that this was a scouting expedition sent out by the chief of police of Spain in an endeavor to establish an exclusive school for select boys. He had placed in command of the vessle and cuisine one Bernardo Sbisa who had proven his seamanship with Christo Columbo in the early B. V. D.’s, British Veterinarians Detachment, and being a noted Spanish educator, he was placed in charge. “Carramba!! Jesus Cristo!! ’Tis the water of sulphur that comes into my olfactory bounds,” said the horny old navigator. “ ’Tis here that we shall establish this select school for select boys.” “Aye!! Aye! Punt Formation!” said the youngest of the crew, who, by the way, had been a yell leader in the University of Madrid. “Three rousing cheers for the Queen.” The expedition made ready to leave the bonny banks of the Brazos and seek out the source of the waters of youth which were so highly perfumed with sulphur. For three days and twelve nights they traveled inland. Their only food was roast beef, spuds, apple salad, macaroni and raisin cush. On the fourth day of the expedition the explorers met up with four footsore and weary travelers. As soon as their features could be discerned they were found to be Dr. Puryear, Bobbie Smith, Uncle Dan Jackson and Cheatum. As soon as Cheatum sighted the explorers he began waving his hands above his head and crying, “I can save you lots of money if you buy from me instead of going to Bryan.” Of course his companions were highly amused at this boyish jibe which the student of Jesse James had just pulled, and to make the scene a trifle more boisterous, S. Stick Dan Jackson crowned Cheatum with his rubber-tipped walking cane. A long parley was held that night. The explorers explained their mission to these travelers. Upon query it was found that this quartet had just graduated from a prominent Eastern school and were returning home. After a thorough examination of their diplomas, which certified that they were all graduates of I. C. S., these four men were unanimously selected as the first faculty of what is now known as Texas A. M. After getting the appropriations from the State, namely; six shelter halves, three tooth brushes, and six Shetland ponies, the school opened its first school session September 5, 1826, at eleven P. M. cash. (The following manuscript was found sealed in an old Three- Star Cognac bottle on the banks of the Brazos River.) Page 398 Jim Qoes To College A Story of Realized Ambition HP HE day broke clear and cool over the blue-gray mountains, and the sun flooded its gracious beams down onto the Four Roses Farm. The day was indeed to be an eventful one, and as the cock sounded his last shrill call of morning the entire Proddem house hold was all abustle. For it was on this day that their only boy, Jim, was leaving for college. Jim had scarcely slept a wink the whole night. No, not he, for revolving in his brain were the many things that he was going to accomplish when he started his College career. Neither did Jim’s old mother sleep that night. She was sending her boy out into the crool, crool world, and he was such an innocent lad. She had intended telling the boy before he left for college that there was no Santa Claus, but such news to only a youngster of twenty-one summers would be too much for him to bear. Jim arose from his bed, donned his new suit and shoes which had just arrived from Sears and Roebuck the day before, and went down to the last breakfast that he would eat with his family until the Christmas holidays. Jim’s dad had already told the boy that he could not afford to come home before then. Old Tom Proddem was a frugal man. His only resources were four hundred sections of land and twenty thousand head of cattle. At the breakfast table the final instructions were given the lad. “Jim,” said his mother, “You air goin ’ out into the world to git yore eddication like yore Pap did. Just remember, Jim, you kin be the president of the United States effen you wants to be, becuz yore Pap’s blood flows through yore veins. And son, effen it starts gettin’ chilly don’t you fergit to put on them red flannels, and effen you start lookin’ peaked take a coupla tea- spoonsful of the chill tonic that you will find in yore satchel. Remember, boy, that yer old Mom loves you, and we are expecting you to uphold the honor of Old Sunnybrook.” At these final words Jim heaved a mighty emotional sigh, causing the table to shake his old man’s coffee out into his lap. “Jim,” his dad blasphemed, “I ought to whale hell outen ye fer that.” “Folks,” Jim gaspiped, “I am going to make good. With what I have learned from my Lone Scout training I should easily make a corporal the first month or so I am at school. Mr. Bones Irvin, after seeing me play football the other afternoon, assured me that I could easily make the Varsity squad the first year. I have read several college books and I know just how to act. I am going to be a regular fellow and I am going to pick out a good Senior to room with me.” By the time he had finished with the oration he had also finished his four eggs, two cups of Java, and his ten biscuits. “Son, when I went to college I did not have the opportunities that you are going to be able to have,” heaved his Dad. “I have arranged it so you can have twenty-five cents per week for your spending money, but damn ye, because I am a lettin’ you have it ain’t no sign ye gotta court them Bryan girls and spend it all. Stay away from them Bryan girls, son, because they will bleed ye out of all ye kin get and borrow.” (His Dad went to A. M. in ’95.) With these final words of parting this Holy Three went arm in arm to the door where Jim kissed his mother, dad, and Old Ring, the family dog, goodbye. He was half way out the gate when a faint and heartful low from Old Bossy, the family cow, told him that he had overlooked her. Tears of love welled up into his eyes. His heart strings tugged at his adenoids. Running back, he gave Old Bossy a long and affectionate embrace, then tearing himself away he picked up his bags, boarded the surrey and was off. Jim arrived at A. M. with about seven hundred other first-year gentlemen, all of whom had the same determination to make good that Jim had. And, gentlemen, did they? I ask you, did they? Did they make Fish Corporals? Did they room with a Senior? Did they make the Varsity the first year? Did everyone on the campus know them? Did all the Bryan girls go crazy over them? Well, THINK NOTHING OF IT! ! ! !

The Biology and Veterinary Medr cine Departments have been work¬ ing on the case and reports from their offices state that they will be able to reach some definite con¬ clusion by the end of the week- The head of the thing somewhat resembles the head of the man- eating Boolu Bird of Zenecta. It has a neck like a giraffe, but large orange and red polka dots on its neck keeps it out of the Giro Species. The body is somewhat like the body of the Milomo. The wings are feathered with the most beautiful plumage, but strange to say, the Thing has four legs. The front legs are of pure mahogany and are bowed, while the hind legs are like the legs of a human. An interesting feature of the hind legs is that on the hip of each leg is found a beautifully embroidered pocket the same as those in the pockets of a man’s trousers. The tail resembles the tail of a screw- tail bulldog. The call of the Thing in mating season sounds much like our popular song “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” and is whistled in clear high notes. The Thing is being watched with interest. Its diet is indeed peculiar. Crushed raspberries with catsup for breakfast, dill pickles with ice-cream salt for dinner, and for supper two government postage stamps with Thousand Island Dress¬ ing. DEAN PURYEAR WINS CHARLESTON CONTEST At a Corps Dance held last Satur¬ day night, Dean Charles Puryear and his dainty little dancing partner, Miss Ruth Watkins, won the annual fancy dancing contest 28 to 0. Their novelty was dancing the most intricate steps of the Charles- no. 145 ton. Dean Peewee was awarded with a pair of Montgomery and Ward extra stretchy red flannels, and Miss Watkins was awarded with a hand knitted fountain pen. Mr. Puryear attributes his success to Arthur Murray’s correspondence course. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago Dean Puryear at¬ tended a Charleston meeting and was elected head of this board of bigger and better dances. QUIETLY MARRIED IN BRYAN Miss Kate Parker and Lieut.-Col. Tiny Curtis were secretly married in Bryan last Thursday night by Reverend Lefty Mathews. E. O. Buck sang “How Dry I Am” in his rich Israelite tenor voice, and then followed it with “Flaming Mamie.” The bride entered on the arm of the best man, R. P. Yett. After a short bridal tour to Hearne, Calvert, Brenham, and other sea coast cities the bride and groom will be at home in South Bryan. LAVENDER’S HAIR GRABBERS You are next.

Page 404 FACULTY DECIDES TO HAVE A HEART At a recent faculty meeting held within the secret portals of Dean Peewee’s office the faculty drew up a new set of resolutions. Bloody Morgan decided to be reasonable on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week. Buechel decided to give all students who failed to pass book¬ keeping three successive years an honorary pass in the course. Mr. Hughes of the Rural Education De¬ partment cut his notebook work down to a minimum of seven hundred pages per term. Capt. Montgomery, not to be outdone, decided that he would not issue more than three hundred rams per week. Mr. Page, after a long de¬ liberation and after much pleading from the other members of the faculty, decided to disregard per¬ sonal discomforture and buy a comb and a brush. The editor feels certain that there will be a general celebration through¬ out the entire campus with the publication of these resolutions which will go into effect with the enrollment of the 1932 class. GENERAL UPRISING IN HELL News has just reached us that there is a general uprising and strike among the Coal Shovelers Union in the Lower Regions. Less Heat, shorter hours, and more water are the main issues of the strike. A committee representing the Union sat in council with His Majesty the Devil for three hours, but no con¬ clusion was reached. The great furnaces have cooled down and there is a Norther due to hit Hell by sundown. Clothes that were checked at. the gate on entering have been misplaced, and it looks like there is going to be Hell if some conclusion is not reached soon. Everyone seems to be having the Devil of a time. NEW CHEF AT MESS HALL It is with much joy that we welcome the fact that a new chef has been procured for the mess hall. Now the general condition of Gripes and empty stomachs will be removed from the campus. The new chef comes to us with the highest recommendations from Boston, where he was formerly em¬ ployed in the Boston Bean Baking Emporium. The menu will be changed altogether, and the follow¬ ing is the menu for the first day: Breakfast—Half raw beans with cream, bean fritters, bean cocktail, and straight beans. Lunch—Chili beans, navy beans, soy beans, baked beans, kidney beans and snap beans. Dinner—Big beans, little beans, green beans, canned beans, bean soup, navy beans, and some more beans. This variety should make the cadet corps into a more buxom and healthy group of men, and we should all thank Mr. Duncan for his un¬ tiring efforts to give the boys what they want—VAR IET Y!! FIRST PRIZE FRESHMAN ESSAY Barbers A barber is a group of men what hangs out in the bottom of the Why. Em. See. Yea. Building. They has sizzors on their hands and corns on their feet. You walks in the door and they takes a mean slant at you and then throws you down in a chair with wheels in the bottom of it. After this they takes all the hair off of your head. After the hair has been all pulled out they will stand there and beg you for fifteen minutes to get a shave or a shampew. A barber tells funny jokes or jokes that was funny three or four years ago. Most barbers are called “Lavenders.” This work comes from the Eskimo language, La vo, meaning to pull, Ender, meaning hair; therefore we get the word hairpuller. There ain’t no cross-eyed barbers. Neither are there any cross-eyed ostriches. Barbers first originated with the incoming of the Barbarians. For further information concerning barbers apply to John Hinton, Lon Chaney, D. X.

Page 413 Page 415 zjt Parting 14 ord A VERY WISE man once said that everything must have an ending. If the Business Manager hadn’t run short of funds, this wouldn’t be the end of the Longhorn. But he did, and it is. This page is usually the place for much self-depreciation and reminis¬ cence of midnight oil, grey hairs, wrinkles, and the like on the part of the Editor. It is true that the Editor of this volume has heard the OWL pass thru several nights, but the bulk of the work was done by the members of the staff. His roommate frankly states that the poor fellow burned more midnight oil, worried more silver into his hair and dents in his fore¬ head, and talked more in his sleep over a certain girl than over the Long¬ horn. This is the end, and the end of all things is usually frank. In frankness, then, let him tell you how he did it. In the beginning, every Editor was made responsible for his book. In its planning, he helped; in its details, he collaborated; in its work—he did it. In no other way could a book be produced that was not the reflection of one man, but truly representative of A. and M. So, if you like any part of the Longhorn, tell the Editor who has had charge of that particular Book. He is re¬ sponsible. The last copy sheet has been numbered and checked, and is ready to go in. Only this one remains and the work is done. We have thought of this book as a great mouthpiece thru which should speak the spirit of A. and M. How much we wanted that it should speak truly and adequately! How much we have tried to tune our ears to catch the voice of that spirit, and then plan and work to transmute it into these pages where it might live when our happy days here are ended! Can such work be drudgery? We think it a privilege. And now that it is over, it is not in us to be very gay. Our work is done and we feel very useless now. May you read it with as much happiness as we have found in its creation. May it mean to you—A. and M. A. J.

The past year showed amazing industrial and commercial progress all over the state. The good cities and towns of Texas are making strides toward industrial develop¬ ment that would have been impossible a few years ago. What is the reason ? It is found in co-operation of the people to accomplish things coupled with the re¬ sources that are everywhere ready for de¬ velopment. In this work the services of Electric Utilities stand at the head of the list along with the other public utility services. The people of every progressive com¬ munity in Texas realize that this essential public service must be kept ready to do its important part in every forward move. This company, too, recognizes the re¬ ciprocal interest. The development that is possible to be accomplished here by all working together is unlimited.

On every hand, you will see, hundreds of times the product of power in the form of nearly every manufactured article, including the necessities of life. Perhaps you will return to your home town at the end of your college years, or perhaps you will make your home in some city where the oppo? iunities seem greater. You realize, without a doubt, that the growth of any city, particularly from an individual standpoint, depends largely on the ability of the power and light company to serve.

This great growth reflects that intangible thing known as confidence. LONE STAR Cement has that en¬ viable reputation which can be built only by faithful adherence to sound manufacturing and marketing policies. Both of the LONE STAR mills use the International Wet-Blending Process exclusively. This process is the result of 20 years’ experience in cement making, com¬ bined with years of painstaking research. It is not surprising that the quality of this cement is maintained at a level considerably above the require¬ ments of the U. S. Standard Specifications. Yet this super-grade cement costs no more.

The transmission bands are lubricated from the crank case by the same oil that is used in the motor. If the wrong oil is used, or if your oil is seriously diluted, these bands become oil-soaked, gummy and slick—and chattering and slipping result. Use Flivolene—change the oil in your crank case every 500 miles—keep your transmission bands prop¬ erly adjusted, and you will get the best service from your Ford at the least cost. Flivolene is manufactured and guar¬ anteed by the Humble Oil Refining Company, refiners and marketers cf the high-grade line of Humble Motor Oils. You can buy it wherever you see the Humble Signs.

Our representatives are given instruction in life underwriting, and instead of “selling life insurance,” they fit life insur¬ ance protection to the needs of their clients.

Some of them have been attending central station “college” thirty or thirty-five years, studying the needs of their customers and working to fill them. There are now over 5,600 central stations —all serving the public. There are hun¬ dreds of thousands of employees studying to see if service can be improved. These central station “colleges” and “stu¬ dents” are responsible for many of the comforts and conveniences you enjoy today. Just consider what a big part elec¬ tricity and electric service play in every phase of life—then you will see how ex¬ tensive the study and work of those stu¬ dents have been.

JQURING the past four years you have been preparing yourself to qualify as an advisor to those in need of Engineering Service. A great deal depends on the correct¬ ness and wisdom of the advice that you give. In designing a structure, are you going to simply copy the opinions of others, or are you going to study carefully the service that all classes of material will give and specify that which is the most economical for your client, giving due consideration to years of service required? The creosoting of timber has a twofold purpose. First, it prevents decay and prolongs the life of timber at slight addi¬ tional cost; and secondly, it helps to conserve the rapidly diminishing supply of timber. Write us for pamphlets and information as to how to get facts about the preservation of timber when you want them. TEXAS CREOSOTING COMPANY ORANGE, TEXAS, U. S. A.
