THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DR. F. M. LAW Chairman The welfare of the students of A. M. College rests in the hands of a group of men whose actions and services have indicated that they have this responsibility foremost in their minds. These men, The Board of Directors, are appointed by the Governor of Texas for six years; and their many services and tireless efforts are rendered solely for the student body and the college. In rendering these services this group of men aid the college probably more than any other super ' visory group. The Board has for its Chairman Dr. F. M. Law, Fresh dent of The First National Bank of Houston; Mr. G. R. White, a banker and ranchman of Brady, is Vice Chairman. Other members of the Board are H. L. Kokernot, Jr., R. W. Briggs, A. H. Demke, H. J. Brees, John C. Burns, D. S. Buchanan, and Neth L. Leachman. 13

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ m MEDAL OF HONOR The Congressional Medal of Honor is the oldest and highest decoration conferred hy the United States, having been established by Act of Congress in 1862. It is authorized to be awarded in the name of Congress to “each person, who, while an officer or enlisted man of the Army, for action involving actual conflict with the enemy, distinguishes him ' self conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the ris of his life, above and beyond the call of duty. In order to justify the award of this medal, the recipient must have performed an extraordinarily hazardous service, the omission of which would not justly subject him to censure for shortcoming or failure in the performance of his duty. The first medal of any fiind to be awarded by the Com gress of the United States was to General George Washing ' ton for the capture of Boston. Second Lieutenant Alexander R. Rfininger, Jr., was the first person to be awarded the Medal of Honor in the current war. He was fiilled in action on January 12, 1942, when he repeatedly forced his way into enemy positions in the Philippine Islands and attached the enemy with rifle and hand grenades. In the award of the Medal of Honor, the recipieytt is ordered to Washington and the presentation is made by the President. In the case of a posthumous award, the yiearest of fim receives it. While 1,723 Medals of Hoywr had beeyt issued prior to 1917, out of more thayy four million meyy in the Army in the First World War, only 95 woyy this distinctioyi. ADMINISTRATION
