Hespet Professors may come and professors may go but Mr. Edward Gieck stays right in the harness through changes of season and administration. He seems to have mastered the art of satisfying the Board of Agriculture with his services better than anyone else who has been connected with the institution, if we judge by the length nf time he has been employed. Mr. Gieck began work on the campus in 1909 during the construction of the Administration Building, now the oldest on the campus. He will tell you with a twinkle in his eye that he has seen four presidents come and go as well as seven agriculturists in his time. Besides the various positions he has held on the campus, he served as deputy sheriff in the turbulent times when any athletic contest at Goodwell presented strong probabilities of turning into a riot. His influence in the community has always been on the side of harmony, order and progress. He has an active interest in public affairs, being at the present a member of the Goodwell Board of Aldermen. In the position he now holds. Foreman of the Experiment Station Farm, his long experience and knowledge of early conditions have proved valuable. Both students and faculty in answer to the question. What would it be here without Mr. Gieck? reply, It would be hard to find anything you want. Mr. Gieck is now entering on his eighteenth year of service to P. A. M. C., loved and re- spected by all those associated with him and we hope he will stay with the College for many years to come. you want to make others happy, be happy yourself.

Hespef- OKLAHOMA STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE Hon. Harry B. Cordell President Hon. Fern E. King Hon. George Van Noy Hon. J. B. Parks Hon. L. A. Clinkenbeard AGRICULTURE Panhandle A. and M. College, the educational center of a great area of plains country, oc- cupies bo ' .h a leading position and a dependent position. Its services to students, teachers, farmers and business men are already extended to the far corners of the territory which it serves. It is recognized both at home and abroad. Yet like the country it represents it is only par- tially developed. Much raw land remains on the plains to be made productive. The mineral resources are only beginning to be investigated. This college has fields of instruction which have not yet been occupied. There are demands for service it cannot yet fulfill, so that in the productive and commercial development of the plains, to which the college proposes to contrib- ute the development of an educational institution, is also involved. There are two alternatives wh ch the publ c may take regarding the Panhandle A. and M. College. It may concentrate upon the commercial development which will drag the institution forward slowly, supplying the needs of the boys and girls grudgingly as they become shamefully apparent : or it may build fcr a future that everyone recognizes lies before the Panhandle, a future of pro- gressive expansion and begin at once to turn out men and women fitted to take a leading part in the development of the natural resources of the region. Not only can the institution contribute men and women to the development of the land but by agricultural research contribute the information which all the people need to make development more sure and rapid. There can be no better p!ace for students to get their collegiate training than in a college adequately equipped and devoted specifically to the scientific, economic and sociological features of the region in which they expect to make their homes. There is no way of supplying the agricultural inf rmatirn now lacking except by research under the exact conditions it is expected to be used. Therefore, it appears there is no particular enterprise concerned with the entire development of the plains which can return as great results and as permanent results toward that end as can this college if it is adequately provided for. We can see ahead a constant expansion of service, a firmer position of ieadeiship and a growing appreciation of the public for P. A. M. C. H. H. FiNNELL. Blessed are the happiness makers jor they are the light of the ivorld.
