THE COMMANDANT This year marlzed the return to the system so long in vogue at the Flgricultural and ' mechanical College of Texas wherein the Professor of military Science and Tactics is also the Commandant of the Cadets. Thus, in one individual is vested the responsibility for the military instruction, discipline, and, to a large extent, the general welfare and morals of the entire student body. The Commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel George F. moore, is respected and trusted by every 9. 8: m. Cadet. His attendance at this institution has given him the sympathetic understanding of the problems which confront the Commandant. It is through this office that the dormitories, equipment, and the needs of the students are cared lor. Colonel moore and his assistants are to be commended for the worln they have done this year.

Bolton, who had been Dean of the School of Engineering since 1922, ' was made Vice-President of the College this year. l'le has done much to aid the progress of 9. 8: fT'l., ond well deserved this newly created office. He still retains his position as Dean of the College. Dean Bolton says, ln college you have discovered something of your own mental aptitudes and have developed a purpose in life. One should always aim toward a def- inite career, but his objectives should be lzept sufficiently flexible so that they may be adapted to changing conditions and as dictated by a developing judgment. You have equipped yourself with some of the tools of your profession or vocation. These tools must be lzept up-to-date, some must be sharpened and reshaped, others discarded to be re- placed by those which will prove more effective in the light of man's increasing lanowledge. If you can correctly evaluate and develop your own ability, if you have learned enough of the machinery of society and of its history to apply your gifts effectively, and if you have the initiative to malze plans andthe courage to carry them out, success will be yours.

For nine years prior to his coming to 9. 8: m. Dean Gilchrist was State Highway En- gineer ol Texas. l.Ue are fortunate to have a man of his experience. The Fl. 84 m. College ol Texas has the second largest engineering enrollment in the United States. Practically one-hall of the current year's enrollment is in the School ol Engineering. There is something that attracts boys to the profession. They are interested in its possibilities of accomplishing big worlzs. Such a situation calls for much serious thought and is, in fact, a challenge to the administrative officers and the faculty ol the School oi Engineering to see that these boys are given every opportunity to properly prepare themselves for professional competition with graduates ol the world's best schools. It shall be the purpose of those directing the Engineering School to accomplish such a result. U.le have the raw talent, as Fine as there is anywhere. many valuable ideas have come from the creative instinct ol young minds. l.Ue propose then, that young minds be given better instruction, and by enlarged research and experiment Facilities, be provided with opportunities to develop ideas, processes and experiments that will be to their own credit, to that ol the College, and forthe good ol manlzindf' f N QE UU E THE SCHOQL CDF ENGINEERING
