DEAN OF THE COLLEGE The privilege of serving as Dean of the College gives opportunity to know you, the stu- dents who make this publication possible, and affords much pleasure and many interesting experiences. One of the outstanding observations is that many of you have learned the effect of your professional preparation and college attainments upon your future usefulness and happiness. My confidence in you prompts me to believe that you will continue to manifest learning abilities and that you will do independent thinking. Those who have preceded you in receiving the many abiding contributions this institu- tion has bestowed upon them are now widely scattered throughout the State and Nation. Your brother and sister alumni are now teaching in 223 of the 254 counties of Texas and in forty of the forty-eight states of the union; the fact that they are serving in the major fields of use- fulness to society in such a large territory is a record of which each alumnus of the college may well be proud. Down the corridor of years let us hope that you will continue to uphold the faith of your alma mater and that you will return to the campus for many enjoyable reunions. B. B. Harris Dean of the College.
