COL. CONVERSE P. LEWIS The War Department looks to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas for more Reserve officers than any other college of its kind in the land. R. O. T. C. training is considered one of the most important classes of duty to be assigned to Regular army officers; therefore, the Personnel of the Military Department are specially selected because of their age, ability and high standing in their field. There are seventeen officers supervising the work of some 3,000 cadets who are enrolled in the 7 various branches of military work. This year we have a new P. M. S. T., Colonel Converse R. Lewis, who is respected and trusted by all the cadets. He is well prepared to fill this important position since he has had thirty-four years service in the army. He has served in many campaigns besides the World War, and is a graduate of the War College. The daily military routine, reviews, parades, and all other military activities held on the cam¬ pus are controlled by the Military Department of the College. 3 ) 33 7

THE COMMANDANT COL. F. G. ANDERSON The task of directing the lives of more than four thousand young men of today is vested in the Office of the Commandant of Cadets, and is a task which often proves itself to be a perplexing and difficult undertaking. The Commandant, Col. Frank G. Anderson, certainly has the welfare of the students at heart, and is doing all he can to make the College a place where discipline is effective and is practiced. The Commandant places certain duties and responsibilities on dependable students and thus develops leadership and assurance in all the members of the student body who later go out to make the Reserve Officers. Night Sergeants, guards, and all other policing agencies of the campus have their head- guarters in this Office. Care of the dormitories, needs of the students, and dissemination of information is taken care of by the Commandant and the staff of clerks.

THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING ' ■ „ v ,. ' v. ... DEAN F. C. BOLTON Since 1922, Dean F. C. Bolton has headed the School of Engineering at A. and M., and he has seen scores of young men emerge from their four year course in engineering to take up the duties of competent engineers in the state and nation. The purpose of the School is to prepare men to go out and work, not only in their special fields, but to give them a general knowledge of all types of engineering. Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Municipal and Sanitary Engineering, Textile Engineer¬ ing, Petroleum Production Engineering, and Drawing, are branches embraced by the School of Engineering. Dean Bolton, who has also been Dean of the College since 1932, may justly be proud of the admirable progress which has been made during his term at A. and M. Q W G W G G 9) 33 G
