A utobiography R. A. L. BANKS is a native of Tennessee, but came to Texas when about sixteen years ot age. His father was one of the first profes- sors in the Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege of Texas, and he himself was one of the first six students enrolled in that institution. Before he was nineteen years of age he was an instruc- tor in Marvin College. He was, for some time, Principal of Bryan High School, but in 1891 he returned to the A. M. College and remained there for twelve years as Asso- ciate Professor of Mathematics. Mr. Banks is indeed a pioneer in industrial education in Texas, his interest has ever been with the boy or girl who tries. However, our purpose here is to discuss briefly the relationship Mr. Banks has held to the College of Indus- trial Arts. In 1903, when the doors of C. I. A. were opened, Mr. Banks was there to welcome the first girl who applied for admittance, and he has extended a warm welcome to every girl who has since come. In short, for the past thirteen years, Mr. Banks has given his time, his thoughts, and himself to the betterment of this institution. Mr. Banks is ever patient, kind and true; he has merited and won the respect and love of everyone who is in any way con- nected with the college. We can think of no better way of expressing our conception of his character than to say that he is the highest, the noblest type of a true Southern gentleman. We, the Senior Class, in dedicating this volume to Mr. Banks, have tried to express our great love for him, and our loyalty to the institution to which he has been so faithful.
