The Alcalde, V DEAN OF WOMEN ' S MESSAGE AS YOU leave this campus with the long dreamed of diploma in your hand, do you ask yourself what college has meant to you? Has it meant rich friendships, wholesome pleasures, and work enough to cause you to feel that the acquisition of a degree is an accomplishment? Has it meant for you the ability to see the great and the small in their true relationship, to look at both sides of a question, to recognize and respect the point of view that differs widely from your own ? My wish is that college has meant all of this to you, and a further wish is that you may realize that now to make the most of your life you must find the work you want to do, do it generously, and find happiness in it.

The ?Alca i j To the Young Men of Sam Houston State Teachers College: Dear Friends: Do you realize that this has been, to each of you, a year of most unusual opportunities? You are among a favored few of America. Only about one hundred young men out of every two thousand young men of this country have been privileged to enjoy this year those splendid opportunities that only college students are privileged to enjoy. If you availed yourselves of those opportunities that were yours, you are now better equipped for life ' s battles than you were when Sam Houston first received you into her halls. It is my hope that, while here, each of you has developed in every phase of life that tends to make a man more useful to his country and to his God. Sincerely your friend, L. E. King, Dean of Men.

■• DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE IN 1923 an expansion program was instituted which culminated in the estab- lishment of the Department of Public Service. This newly created depart- ment was designed to meet the educational needs of the people in this territory. Professor Huffor led the movement, and directs the department. For the benefit of those who can not attend the college and for the con- venience of the teachers in the field, this Department offers college courses by correspondence and through extension classes located in towns convenient to those wishing to enroll. In the 1931-32 session new centers were established and the enrollment increased. Extension classes are held in Houston, Galveston, Port Arthur, Wharton, Palestine, Crockett, Conrce, Groveton, Shiro, Baytown, and Fairfield. C. A. Parkhill, Augusta Lawrence, T. S.
