Faculty David F. Houston, A. M., LL. D., elected President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College April 7th, 1902, and took charge July 1st, 1902. Roger H. Whitlock, M. E., was born July 15th, i860, at Brooklyn, New York. He first attended the public schools and then entered the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1878, gradu¬ ating in 1882. He was then for nine months with the Jersey City Manufacturing Company, and from there went to Brooks Loco¬ motive Works, at Dunkirk, New York. In 1883 he entered the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas as Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Professor H. H. Harrington, M. S., who presides over the Department of Chemistry, and who is ex officio State Chemist, and Chief Chemist to the Experiment Stations, is a native of Mississippi. He was educated at the University, and at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of that State, graduating from the latter institution in 1883. Took his master’s degree two years later. Before graduation he was made assistant in Chemistry and Physics in his alma mater, and continued in that capacity until January, 1888, when he was appointed “act¬ ing Professor of Chemistry and Physics ” in the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. The following June he was elected to his present position. Professor Harrington pur¬ sued special and advanced work at the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale, and in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, of Troy. His most important scientific work was the discovery of the ' influence of cotton seed and cotton-seed meal, as a feed, upon the composition of butter—a discovery which overthrew the established chemical constants for normal butter. He is 20 Notes. the author of several new and modified methods for various determinations in agricultural chemistry. His station work has been devoted largely to investigations upon soils, and to the composition and digestibility of feed-stuffs. Professor Har¬ rington was married in 1892 to Miss Florine Ross, and they have one child living—Master Sul-Ross Harrington. Charles Puryear, M. A., B. Sc., C.

Came to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas in 1889 as Asso¬ ciate Professor of Civil Engineering and Physics, and in 1890 was appointed to his present position as Professor of Mathe¬ matics. Mark Francis was born in Butler County, Ohio, in 1863- Educated in the New London High School, the Ohio State University, and the American Veterinary College, New York City. Appointed Professor of Veterinary Science in 1888. f. E. Giesicke, M. E., a native of Washington County, Texas, was born January 28th, 1869. He entered the Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1883, graduated in 1886, and completed a post-graduate course in Mechanical Engineering in 1890. He took a course in Drawing at Round Lake, N. Y., during the summer of 1889; a course in Experimental Engineering at Cornell University, during the summer of 1893; a course in Architectural Drawing at Cornell University, during the sum¬ mer of 1894, and a course in Architectural Design at the Massa¬
