Trefzdenz' feiffarguzk RONI the beginning man has struggled for mastery in his world. As he learned to test his experiences, organize and record them, he found himself in possession of a growing fund of knowledge which, when properly used, enabled him to avoid repeating mistakes. Once in posses- sion of what has gone on before, men could strike out into those regions, the lines of the hinter- land of which were blazed by those who have just passed that way. In possession of the records, man need not repeat and live in circles with fixed diameters. A wise use of knowledge has enabled him to enlarge his world from a circumference of a few miles to an area with a perimeter whose distance is measured in light years. When man lived in a small world and his recorded experiences were few, the parents were the teachers and the learning period, or period of infancy, was short. The growth of our body of knowledge was spasmodic. During recent times growth has been most rapid, and our needs for knowledge have been correspondingly quiet. No longer can a child hope to go on his own in the world with such education as he can get from parents. just here necessity produces the professional teachers, and daily the need is growing in geometric ratio. In our modern world the professional teacher is an essential factor. Shortly, as time is reckoned, the teacher will of necessity be the most intelligent, wisest and most skillful member of the group, or, putting it the other way around, the most intelligent, wisest, and most skillful persons will be utilized as teachers, just as the state now commandeers our best young men when our national life is threatened. Knowledge and a wise use of knowledge have come to be the determining factors in racial or national competition and in human progress. In such a state the teacher becomes first-rate in importance, and upon the teacher the responsibility for the perpetuity of our civic institutions and our favorable economic status rests. Our growing body of knowledge has made it necessary to have professional teachers. Modern competition, national and international, puts the premium on intelligence, wi-sdom, and skill. Social, civic, economic, and political groups which win and hold places in the sun will be the social, civic, economic, and political groups which commandeer its best intelligence, wisdom, and skills as teachers of the groups. You are in no mean business. If you can teach, you should. Nature has been kind to you. You are set apart. You have my best wishes. Page 19 I ,--,- .

TVIORELOCK, Sul Ross, Pwridcnt Board of Regent! T HAS always been our desire to be a member ofthe Board of Regents so we could be introduced by the President. You know the Regents are the men who come about once a year to look over cur campus, discuss political affairs and administrative problems of the colleges under their supervision, and every once in a while we get one or two of the bolder ones to talk in assembly. The Honorable A. B. Mayhew, of Uvalde, Texas, is the President of the Board and our most frequent visitor. He was first appointed during Governor NePf's second term, and has filled his ohice so well that we canit do without him. He is a lumberman, owning several lumber yards in the southwest part of the state. Honorable- J. W. Fitzgerald is a new member, appointed by Governor Nloody this year as Vice-President ofthe Board. He is connected and wellknown as a banker in the Citizens National Bank of Tyler, his home. Honorable H. A. Turner has been Secretary to the Board since its organization in 1911. He is Cashier of the First State Bank and Trust Co. of Austin, Texas. Another banker, Honorable WV. Z. Hayes, was appointedlby Gov. hdoody in 1927. He was for many years state and national bank examiner but at present is active Vice-President of the Republic National Bank and Trust Co. of Dallas, one of our largest Texas banking institutions. We have two Regents from the profession of law, Hon. Henry S. Paulus, of Yoakum, Texas, and Hon. J. O. Guleke, of Amarillo, both of whom are graduates of the University of Texas Law School. Mr. Paulus was appointed by Gov. Ferguson in 1925, Nlr. Guleke by Gov. Nloody in 1928 to succeed Hon. A. B. lVlartin, now of the Criminal Court of Appeals. Both are outstanding attorneys in the Southwest, lXfIr. Paulus being attorney for a number of corporations, and lVlr. Guleke a lawyer in all of the state courts and in the federal courts at Washington. Hon. Fred a Martin, a furniture man, was appointed in 1927. ,He is Nlanager of Fakes Furniture Co., which is a prominent store of this section of the country and the show place for the city of Ft. Worth. . ' ' l U Resulting from the passing of a bill through thelegislature for the addition of three Regents to our present Board, Colonel Tom Ball, a well-known politician of Houston, Hon. XV. H. Frey, Stephenville, and Hon. A. D. Krohn, of Bl Paso, Texas, have been appointed this year. Each of these men is capable and dependable and will give his best services for our needs. We appreciate everything, Regents. Page I 8 l and a --A as -a as . ..r.j-infer: giiifizi .l--ll 'Ll-J eil? 1:55 lei?
