dedication f this year is remembered for any one thing, it will surely be remem¬ bered as the last year that the Corps was divided into branch outfits. The passing of the branch marks the end of one of the most colorful traditions in A AA ' s history. Since the year 1876 when the college was opened, at least one Army branch has been represented on the A M campus. At the turn of the century, the Corps was entirely Infantry, although certain cadet officers at the regimental level wore Quartermaster and Ordnance insignia. By 1912, cadet Signal Corps officers had been added, as well as one Field Artillery Battery, which was at that time attached to the Regiment. Around 1920, A Troop, Cavalry, was initiated, and the Signal Corps was organized into three companies. When the ROTC program was started here in 1921, there were five branches—Field Artillery, Infantry, Signal Corps, Cavalry, and Air Corps, and by 1931 the Engineers and Coast Artillery were represented. Not until World War II threatened the United States did the Quarter¬ master Corps, Chemical Corps, Transportation Corps, and Ordnance appear at A AA. And, only last year, the Medical and Veterinary outfits were instigated to complete the lineup of the long-accumulated list of branches. Thus, branch pride has become one of the more memorable A M experiences. Now, the Jocks, Groundpounders, Buzzard Busters, Wig¬ wags, Blanket-stackers, TCs, Flaming Onions, Big Guns, and Test-tube Cleaners will all be gone. In their place will be a new and progressive organization of the Corps. But what can take the place of the cry: Beat the hell out of the Jocks! 6
