THE ALUMNI ROOM nate in having headquarters in the main building, so ac- cessible and inviting as those now afforded them. The Alumni Room, besides containing the pictures of prominent alumni and ex- students, is at present a storeroom for all the cups and banners of past ath- letic teams. The famous Texas 6, A. M. 0 banner occupies the prominent position on the walls which should be accorded such a trophy. The faculty members, from the original in- structors and tutors to our present teachers of college youth, have their niche in this alumni hall of fame. The CACTUS in its swaddling clothes of 1894 is there, and with it the successive volumes, including that of the present date. The history and growth of the Uni- versity is portrayed vividly in these vari-colored vol- umes. Every picture, ornament, and decoration calls to mind some alumnus or ex-student of bygone days. Some are in the Cabinet — some are Justices of the Peace — but all are loyal Texas men. Along with relics of the past are hopes for the future. The Cass Gilbert drawings for the new gym- nasium are in evidence, and show what the final re- sults for a new gym will be. l % The following para- graphs are from the pen of Fritz Lanham, and we quote them with apologetic avidity : Now that we have our cups, let me refer briefly to the two old B Hall dinner bells among our accoutre- ments. They are cow bells. I shall not be suffi- ciently cowardly to com- ment further in merriment concerning them; suffice it is to say that they are very good specimens of their kine. Reposing near them on one of our reminiscent shelves are the eight baseballs used on the trip last spring, a jaunt which resulted in eight victories for Texas. In close proximity to these horsehides, is a pigskin. It is no longer on the pig. Its position is more exalted than any it ever attained on a punt. Do you ask wherefore? Two explanatory cards make reply: ' Ball won by the University of Texas from A. M., Houston, Texas, Nov. 13, 1911, Score 6 to 0; ' ' R. Perry, L. E. ; M. A. Ramsdell, L. T. ; Louis Jordan, L. G. ; D.

H.; ' Words fail me, boys. It ' s a grand old room. Our genial secretary, John A. Lomax, is a splendid dispenser of an official wel- come to every former student who steps into it. :!|! I! Ill IS ill
