-,wr i HLLEAWQE EHERSCCEEHEEL In 1906 the south part of our Normal campus was overgrown with underbrush, covered with leaves, made unsightly by stables, chicken coops and long lilies of drying clothes. NVe had a faculty of fifteen teachers, a student enrollment of 58-l, two buildings inadequately equipped, one course. of study for all students, and no training school. Today our campus is intersected by a driveway and many concrete walks, there are clusters of shrubs and beds of blooming flowers artistically arranged. XVe have four large brick buildings and a heating plant. There are seven different courses leading to an A. B. degree. Our library numbers l0,000 well selected volumesg our laboratories in physics, chemistry, biology. agricul- ture, home economics and manual training are modern and ade- quate. lVe have a faculty of fifty teachers of skill, experience and scholarship. Our training school is one of our best assets. and supplies a long-felt want. lYe are gratified with these splendid results. but we realire that our school is growing, and we are looking forward to greater and better improvements. In our beloved President we recognize the leader whose ideals have been transformed into sympathetic teachers, commodious buildings, beautiful grounds and adequate equipment. Irlis life aptly symbolizes the growth of our school. Born in a time of stress, when war clouds were rising, he was reared on a farm where muscle, initiative, self-reliance and love of nature were developed. Receiving the rudiments of education in the village schools of Alabama, later on he enjoyed the advantages of a classical educa- tion in Alabama Polytechnic and Mercer University. He moved to Texas in the pioneer days of public education, and has shared in its educational development. As he grows older the student body feels that he grows younger in spirit. more sympathetic in feeling and more appreciative of the beautiful, the true and the good. In the great work before him we assure him of the conhdence and loyalty of an appreciative student body. 11
