EDITOR ' S NOTE........ Our purpose in this LONGHORN has been to construct a book that will be of some personal interest to every student on the campus. In doing this we have tried to place emphasis on the Senior Class, but the other classes are well represented. We have not included all of the traditions and various aspects of A. M. campus life, but we have tried to do so in so far as it has been possible. Throughout the book scholastics have been used as the theme, and giving every department of the school equal representation has been one of our foremost aims. With the help of a most efficient and willing staff the job of putting out the |939 LONGHORN has been a pleasure, for without them it would have be en , a difficult if not impossible task. To one man on my staff I owe a debt of gratitude for his never tiring assistance. This man is Harold F. Sports Editor of the LONGHORN. Other Seniors who are due m for their work on this book are Paul W. Anderson, James F. Hollingsworth, Alfred G. Beckman, J. Wayne Stark, and O. D. Butler. Certainly I have never received a greater honor than to have had the privilege of assembling this 1939 LONGHORN, and to those who have contributed so generously to its preparation I wish to express m thanks. ft WARREN D. BARTON, Editor k|ip|i ip

KjifrZWl IDCflL In years past, LONGHORNS have been dedi¬ cated to men, to traditions, and to many phases of flggieland. However, to those who have attended H. 5c M., there is an intangible something far greater than any of these — that something which distin¬ guishes an A. M. man from the rest of the field. Any attempt to define this IDEAL would be a waste of words; to the outsider it does not exist; but to the Aggie it is an ever present reality, and becomes a lasting part of him. This something which drives men on to greater and greater efforts in their chosen fields is apparent in the achievements of the alumni of A. 6c M. College. Many of -the leaders of yesterday and today have come from the ranks of A. 6c M. men, and they will continue to do so in the future because they possess this IDEAL. May this book serve as a constant reminder of A. 6c M. ' s contribution to society through these leaders. TO THIS IDEAL, AS TYPIFIED IN THE ACCOM¬ PLISHMENTS OF THE UNENDING ALUMNI, WE DEDICATE THIS, THE 1939 LONGHORN.
