I to TH yn czzEPzi C 13 The unfounded opinion of a large percentage of the people of Texas that this insti¬ tution is a reformatory school for unruly boys, is no longer prevalent, and the most exact¬ ing parent no longer hesitates about sending his son here. The moral standard of the student body has reached a higher type and there is so high a sense of honor among our students as very few other student bodies can lay claim to. In the military department there has been unmarveled progress, and the military appearance put up by the two battalion organizations started this year would thrill the heart of any military man. The institution ranks among the highest of the military schools of our country, and several of our graduates are now officers in our army. The new uniform and the dress uniform adopted this year add much to the appearance of the corps. The military band with its thirty-four pieces is also a valuable adjunct to the organization. The past has indeed been a period of progress, and the outlook points to still greater progress. At the present rate of increase of buildings it will require only a few years for the valuation of the buildings to double. This means that before long there will be one thousand students in attendance here, and the institution will be sending forth graduates in large numbers, and it is to be hoped that these will exert themselves in adding to the prosperity of dear old A. .

— I (P T I Qum ii iimi 1 .1 i it 4 j A. M. Publications In 1450, in the town of Mainz, Germany, John Gutenberg invented and set up the first printing press, an invention which has done more to advance the progress of the world than any other thing known. Since that day its power has grown and increased until today it is one of the mightiest factors in the land. Every town or community in the whole country has its newspaper, by which the news of the day is transmitted, and the good of the community is furthered. The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas constitutes a small community in itself and she can boast of publications which compare favorably with those of any other college in the whole South. The Long Horn, the college annual, is gotten out by the Senior Class and is a memorial of their work at College. Several years have elapsed since the first volume of the annual was gotten out and each succeeding year has seen marked improvement. With the increase in attendance of the school, better talant has been added to the staff and consequently better work has been done each year. Unlike The Long Horn, the Battallion is a representative of the entire student body. Until two years ago it was published by the literary societies here, but by a vote of the Student Association, of which every cadet is a member, it was taken from their control and turned over to the students. The Editor and the Business Manager of the paper are elected by the students and they in turn select their staff. In the imatter bf improvement the Battalion has also done something this year. A better quality of paper is being used and the number of pages has been doubled. Other minor changes have been made, which have tended toward the betterment of the weekly. This year for the first time the Young Men’s Christian Association has gotten out a handbook full of useful facts about the College and College life here. This will be done every year and serves as a fine advertisement for the school. [“GO vs .1 (T
