D. Acting President of the University nf Texas Page 20 To the Students of 1923-1924: THERE is not tlu ' slightest question that it is the s]:)irit of an institution, rather than its obiecti e organization and its endowment, that determines its worth and justifies its claim to reputable men. In fact, it is the spirit of an institution that should decide whether it should be allowed to exist at all. In the first place, an institution which is in deed and in truth a university, is founded upon an unquestioned moral unity — that is to say, upon undoubted hon- esty and regard for truth in all its dealings. Where faculty distrusts students, and students distrust faculty, where any phase of activity becomes inimical to any other phase, the destruction of absolutely necessary co-operation can not possibly be avoided, and the institution hastens to an inglorious end. The university in which such condition obtains can not ask the state to appropriate great sums of money for its existence. Again, an institution which claims to be upon the high plane of the university, manifests continuously a spirit having great regard for law, and the members of the university community are conspicuous for their willing obedience to law, for one of the most far-reaching and valuable results affecting the life of the state comes from the men and women who believe in the wisdom of settling differences of opin- ion by reason, and not by force, by appealing to law, and not by resort to the un- bridled passion and will of the individual. Another characteristic of the university spirit is genuine love for the insti- tution; a love not manifested spasmodically, on great occasions, but an affection that lasts from year to year. It is this love that forms a basis for loj alty, one of the finest attributes that can be acquired by the w ' eak human nature. Where there is no love, there can be no loyalty; and where there is no loyalty, there can be no self-denial. The University of Texas has a right to expect, of all its ex-students, that they will manifest their allegiance in terms of deeds. The men and women who in former years have enjoyed instruction and training in the University of Texas have undoubtedly been loyal to her ideals, and I have confidence that you. Stu- dents of 1923-1924, will not be unmindful of the superior power born of the correct estimate of the relative values of men and things, and that, borrowing the words of Emerson, you will resist the usurpation of the mere moment, and will listen to what the years and centuries say, and that therefore you will in no wise disappoint your university or the great state it was established to serve. •Vr. S .

Among the men assembled there were Orville Bullington, E. E. Bewlv, B. P. Bailey, E. M. Bramlette, Rav Bedicheck, C. K. Lee, R. J. Rhome, J. F. Etter, lohn LaPrelle, Lutcher Stark, D. C. Bland, Will C. Hogg, G. N. Anderson, A. M. Frazier, F. C. Hume, W. W. Woodson, Dexter Hamilton, J. L. Halbert, H. D. Ardrey, Alex. Weisberg, A. L. Brombaig, R. E. L. Knight, Dr. H. B. Decherd, G. L. Haidusek, William Pierson and James P. Haven. Dr. Cossette Faust Newton represented the women. It was resolved that thereafter the Association should ask no financial favors of the University or the State, but that all contributions for its support should come from individual citizens. Moreover, the headquarters of the Association were to be removed from the campus, in order, as the delegates thought, to render the best service to the Universitiy. At this meeting plans for permanently financing the Association were adopted. An Executive Secretary was elected and the plans and purposes of the Association were briefly formulated. The purposes were : To establish an adequate Loan Fund; to complete sub- scriptions to the gymnasium fund; to publish an Ex-Students ' Magazine; to publish an accurate catalogue of ex-students; to acquire a permanent home for the Association; to mamtam a com- petent paid staff; and to encourage theestablishmentof scholarships, fellowships, and foundations. The future growth of the University is largely in the hands of thousands of the men and women who have received its benefits. Should their loyal enthusiasm continue constantly and actively, there can be little doubt that Texas will have, like other western states, a university in which all its people shall take pride. D. C.

The Assembly, when every office is filled, consists of twenty-two stu- dents, two of whom are the President and Vice-President of the Students ' Association. The Assembly enacts all laws pursuant to the Constitution of the Students ' Assembly, for the general welfare of the student body. Its measures are subject to the veto of the president of the University, and it is highly responsive to the will of the en- tire student body, by virtue of a provision for the initiative and referendum of any of its measures. The Assembh ' meets regularly each month, but it is at all times subject to call by the president of the Students ' Association. This year it held one midnight session to pass on urgent matters. The Assembly derives its support from the students who signify their willingness to maintain it by paying the Blanket Tax. The Assembly apportions the Blanket Tax among the various organizations on the campus, and controls the arrangements for all student celebrations and functions of a similar nature. The Assembly provides for a Calendar of student social affairs given during the school year by or for the University students. It strengthens this provision by forbidding the women stu- dents to attend any functions that are not on the Social Calendar, and provides for the enforce- ment of this regulation by bringing all ofTenders before the Honor Council. Thus the entire student body is benefited, for the Social Calendar Committee arranges so that there will be few conflicts. The students signify their approval of this by the fact that none have been brought before the Honor Council for this ofTense. F. F. Leissner President H K ■i K ' Hi i Top Row — Nettleton, H.

It is com- posed of six women, a chairman and fi e members, who are elected in the spring for the following year by the women students of the University. The duties of the Women ' s Council are of a two- fold nature. First, the Council is responsible for the administration of the honor system among women, that is, the enforcing and the punishing of violations of the system. Second, it attempts to follow up the first duty with constructive work, by giving the guilty person a second chance and encouraging her to appK ' herself to her studies with renewed energy for the pur- pose of pro ing to her professors and fellow students that she can make good. In the trial of a case, courtroom methods are fol- lowed. The Council adjudges the accused either innocent or guilty, and in event of the latter decision even fixes the penalty, which is subject to the approval of the President of the University.

Though the greater ixart of tlieir business is trial work, the powers of these bodies are wide and embrace all questions of interpreting the Constitution and laws 1) which the student body is governed. The effort of the Councils this year has been to eradicate the causes of violations of various kinds on the part of the students; and to reach this result, they have tried, as far as possible, to conduct an educational campaign that reached the students in a personal way to the end of bringing them into a more intimate un- derstanding of the various phases of student govern- ment. The Men ' s Council is composed of one representative from each of the schools, and a chairman at large. As well as the actual trial work, the task of the Council has to do with the many phases of the government of men; and, at each turn, the Council has endeavored to impress the students with the responsibility that they hold under such a system of student government. A thorough effort has been made to plant the Honor System, which is a basis of student freedom in the preparation of all work, on a more solid foundation than ever. As to the real measure of success of the Council ' s enterprise in this direction only coming years can reveal. Charles H.

H. Hubbard as the Dean of Students of the University of Texas. Mr. Hubbard assumed his duties in January, 1924; he came well prepared, having been connected with similar work. Mr. Hubbard is a former graduate of the University of Texas, having completed the requirements for his degree in 1903. For this reason he is naturally interested in his work, and he is closely associated with all details necessary to make his work successful. After he left the University, he became Su- perintendent of the Belton High School of Bel ton, Texas. He held this position for several years, leaving Belton to assume his duties here. H. HUBB. RD Dean Mr. Hubbard has charge of all deans of the students ' social life. Under his supervision are the Dean of Women and the Assistant to the Dean ' of Women. He confers with students, assisting and advising them as he sees fit, for their benefit. It is his duty, to study the social life of the student from the student ' s standpoint. Since the arrival of Mr. Hubbard, in January, 1924, he has shown himself to be a friend of the students. His advice is that of a personal friend, and his personal characteristics are such as anyone could safely assimilate. Dean Huduard in Office I ' age 34 ' Dean of Women MISS LUCY J. NEWTON, Dean of Women, has been with the University since the fall of 1921, when she succeeded Miss Casis, who was serving tem- porarily upon the resignation of Mrs. Kirby. Before coming to the University of Texas, Miss Newton taught in the public schools of San Antonio, and later received her degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts at the Columbia University. For two years she was in the faculty of the University ' of Wisconsin, being connected with the Dean of Wo- men ' s office, and teaching history. When called to the University of Texas, by the Board of Regents, she came well prepared, both by virtue of her extensive training and her sympathetic attitude. Miss Newton is widely informed and keeps in close touch with all vital problems affecting the spirit- ual welfare of the youth of the country. The fresh- ness of viewpoint with which she has met existing conditions in the University has been pregnant of many changes. Through her guidance a new system of prefer- ential bidding was put through by the girls ' Panhellenic, and at her suggestion the Ribbon Clubs for girls were disbanded. In common with other deans over the country, her purpose is to supervise women ' s life on the campus, to work with student government, maintain high scholarship, and to build up principles rather than to lay down regulations. Miss Newton ' s ideal is to develop leaders who are trained to handle the affairs of the nation from the viewpoints of both sexes — women who, hand in hand withmen,can workout, with intelligent understanding and cooperation, the problems of the state. Miss Lucy J. Newton Dean Miss Bewly Miss McDaniel Page 3S The ediad Staff M- Mo . THE University Health Service was established with opening of the session of 1920-1921. Its functions are to render necessary medical and siu ' gical care, including limited hospital and laboratory service, to all students, to keep them physically fit, to improve as far as possible the health of those phy- sically defective, and to prevent disease in the Uni- versity community. It gives careful attention not only to the physical welfare of the individual stu- dent, but carefully observes and safeguards as far as possible his capacity to meet the demands made upon him while obtaining a higher education. It recognizes that the development, growth and power of a community is destined to be measured by the physical and mental strength of its individuals, and that life, liberty, and happiness depend upon the preservation of the health and the education of its citizenry. It recognizes that health is fundamentally the vital principle upon which the progress, welfare and prosperity of a nation depends, and without it education can not reach its highest attainments. In view of the foregoing and based upon the most recent scientific methods, an effort is being made to develop a health ser ' ice in the University of Texas which will meet its needs and demands and will compare favorably with that of other great universities. In this enlightened age, with its advancement of higher education along with the rapid growth and development of the sciences, the Health Service is rapidly taking its place among the important departments in university activities. Dur- ing recent years a large percentage of the great universities of this country have realized the need for and value of a health ser% ' ice, and we believe that the univer- sity students appreciate a friend in need. Dr. C. W. GODDARD Dean Gates Wroe GoDDARD Key Past 36 business Canagi ment ACCORDIXC. to the RL-gulations of the Board of Regents, the Business Managei of the University shall super- vise all strictlv business operations of the University not specifically assigned to some oth ' -r officer, and shall main- tain the maximum efficiency in these operations. He shall approve, before payment by the Auditor, all bills against the institution. This means that Mr. I. P. Lockridge, the present Business Manager, acts as purchasing agent for all general supplies of the University. In addition to this he acts as superintendent of the buildings and grounds. In his general charge are the University lands bordering on the Colorado, known as the Brackenridge lands. He sees that these are properly leased. He also has charge of the recent expansion of the perips through the purchase of lands North and East of the campus. He supervises the operation of the heating and power plant, the repair shops and general storerooms, and the janitors. During the construction of new buildings, the Business Manager advises with and aids the architect, the Building Committee of the Faculty, as well as the state inspector of masonry. The Auditor shall be the receiving and disbursing agent for the University for all moneys, and shall have charge of the accounting department of the University. He shall sign and keep carbon copies of all purchase requisitions. He keeps records of the receipts and disbursements in connection with such establishments of the University Commons, University Hall, the Woman ' s Building, of rents from property belonging to the University, fees and deposits, gate receipts, and kindred matters. In the office of Auditor Long are the chief clerk, cashier, voucher clerk, and bookkeeper. Their duties are specifically outlined to take care of their respective offices. THE BUSINESS STAFF I. P.

Degree among a crowd of other first-year students who listened (or snored) thru a lecture a week on Physiology and Hygiene. This much despised course was, however, the first contact with science to many who have followed it ever since. Dr. Henry Winston Harper ' s interpretation of scientific study was ever inspiring to his students; and many a man or woman, tho having chafed at the tedium of four-hour lectures on the use of the chemical balance, today, as honest seekers after truth, lives and practises the respect for accuracy which they gained under the master ' s tutelage. For Truth hides her face from both the intellectually sloven and the intellectually dishonest. Dr. Harper ' s life gives the lie to several superstitions current among laymen and even University students concerning the scientific man. This individual is reputed to be narrow, because steeped in a spe- cialty; he is supposed to be cold and aus- tere, for he evaluates facts objectively; he is regarded as eremitic in his habits and therefore lacking in broad human sympathies. Be not deceived. Acquaint yourself with Dr. Harper ' s active career as pharmacist, manufacturing chemist, practising physician, miner, professor, and dean. Learn of his early home environment and you will know the source of his love of music, literature and art, as well as his religious bent. Inquire into his heredity, from Patrick Henry thru a long line of worthy Virginians, and you will not wonder at his being always a gentleman, courageous and igorous in the defense of the Truth. To the University of Texas for 23 years he has been successively Chairman of the Graduate Course Committee, Chairman of the Graduate Council, and Dean of the Graduate Department. This work has of late years consumed his surplus time and energy. He has sacrificed personal ambition to provide facilities for others in productive research. Here lies the field of the Texas University of the future; this will be our distinctive work among the institutions of higher learn- ing in the State. Fortunate we are to have the work initiated by a man possessing the highest ideals of scholarship. Thru him the cause of learning is receiving the impetus it needs in this pioneer state. The red necktie has become emblematic of the wholesomeness of learning, as opposed to the destructive tendencies represented by the red flag. — C. H. Past 40 Qraduatc School IX Iiiiic, 1910, the Hoard of Regents created the (iraduate Department, later known as llie (Vraduate School, in accordance with recommendations of the Faculty. Its administration was placed in the hands of the General Faculty of the l niversity, and this supervision has been exercised by the Graduate Council, a committee appointed by the President. In lealing with imlividuals ' and in executing the regulations of the Council, Dr. Harper for twenty-three years has acted as Dean of the (Graduate School and Chairman of the Graduate Council. When the University first opened, in 1883, only the Master of Arts degree was authorized by the Board of Regents, but the Master of Science degree was added during the 1894- ' 95 session. The degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Science were first authorized in 1885, but were later discontinued. Altho the Doctor of Philosophy degree was revived when the present plan of organization was adopted, the Doctor of Science degree has never been introduced again. Major work toward the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is authorized in English, pure and applied mathematics, ancient languages, Germanic languages, botany, chemistry, physics, zoology, his- tory ' , education, anthropology, economics, sociology, and go ernment. The principal aim of graduate study is the development of the power of independent work and the promotion of the spirit of research. Consequently the work expected from graduates is different in character from that usually demanded from undergraduates. _ Each student must show that he has acquired the power of independent research before he will be admitted to the final examinations for his degree. For the encouragement of advanced work, the Board of Re- gents has created two fellowships, one thousand dollars in scholarships, and four advanced fellow- ships. In addition, numerous tutorships and assistantships, with varying incomes, are open to members of the Graduate School. During the four decades from 1883 to 1923, five hundred forty-two degrees were conferred. Of the six Ph. D. ' s granted in the history of the school, two were conferred last year — to Mrs. Lola May Harrigan Spell and to Raymond Louis Wilder. Elsie D. Jennings and possibly another are candidates for the degree this vear. There are sixty-one candidates for the M. A. degree and six for the M. B. A. degree this year. Enrollment last year in the Graduate School nearly passed the five hundred mark, and, with approximately two hundred and fifty registered at present and the customary increase expected in summer school, it may pass that mark this year. With the exception of Johns Hopkins, Texas has the largest Graduate School in the South. The main problem confronting the Council at present is the development of candidates for the Doctor ' s degree, on which a number of students are now working.

Y. Benedict came tearing out of the wilderness of Young County in February, 1889, arrived in Aus- tin, inspected the University, and at- tached himself to th e student roll. At that time he was demure. The whole University, including the Law Department, in those days was con- fined to the west wing of the present Main Building. James B. Clark was Librarian, Proctor, Auditor, Bookkeeper, Registrar, Secretary to the Faculty, Student Com- mittee on Social Affairs, Student Adviser in everything and repository of all the se- crets. Great changes were due to take place during Benny ' s stay at this institution. The Chemistry Building was erected in 1891, and eight years later the east wing of the Main Building was added, while the first decade of the twentieth century witnessed the completion of the Engineer- ing and Law Buildings. The Power Build- ing in 1910 and the Shop Building nine years afterward were additions to the engi- neering group. Handsomest of all, the Library and the Education Building in 1911 have been added. Within the last two years, appropriations were granted for the erection of a Botany Building on the northern edge of the campus, and for the extension of the campus beyond the old forty acres in order to provide for future expansion. To return to the subject of this sketch — in his classwork, Harry Yandell sailed in the upper registers of the A group. He took Geology and conversed about trilobites, rhizopods, and lamallibranch as if they were personal friends. He was always up with his work, and the writer gave many pop quizzes but never caught Benny napping. He graduated in 1892 asa first honor man of his class, which was at that time the most distinguised honor of the University. He took his M. A. degree in 1893 and that fall entered the University of Virginia, where he remained for two years. Later he went to Harvard, where he took a Ph. D. degree in 1898. He taught one year in Vanderbilt, and in 1900 entered the University of Te.xas as an instructor, rising rapidly from instructor to adjunct professor, then to associate, then to full professor, and then to the deanship of the College of Arts. He has always been alive to all forms of University activity, student, faculty, regental, and legislative. In his student days, as later, he was a very ready speaker, never at a loss for a word or an idea. This gift was not cultivated but was natural and characteristic of him from his very entrance in the University. He is a son of old B. Hall. — T. U. T. I ' age 46 Academic Faculty DEANS H. V.

Qeorge Qharles Butte TAKING precedence o er the other professional divisions of the Uni- ersit -, the School of Law, under the title of the Law Department, combined with the Academic Department to com- pose the LIniversity of Texas when this institution was first opened in 1883. Miereas the other schools and colleges have been branches from the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Law has from the first remained independent and distinct. Since 1896, Dean Townes had most successfidly and considerately pre- sided over its functions until his resigna- tion in 1923 was the occasion for the elec- tion of Dean Butte. Ten years of service as a member of the faculty of the School of Law is the record of Dean George Charles Butte. And a very busy and eventful decade it has been, including, besides the ordinary experiences of a college professor ' s life, such stirring events as dismissal by the Board of Regents, re-employment six weeks later by a reorganized board, some strenuous months of fighting the Kaiser as a servant of Uncle Sam, another period of service to the Railroad Commission of the State of Texas, and finally, elevation to the deanship of the Law School by the unanimous vote of the same body that five years before had dismissed him from the University. Dr. Butte is a native of C alifornia, but, seeing his mistake he, at an early age, migrated, with his parents, to Texas. He became a student at Austin College at Sherman in 1890 and graduated in 1895. After teaching several years in various schools. Dr. Butte in 1902 brought his family to the University, where he served first as assistant registrar and later as registrar, at the same time taking his B. A. degree, in 1903, and his M. A. in 1904. During the same two years, he prepared for the bar examination, and in 1903 was admitted to the bar. The next year he located in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and there he practiced his profession until 1911 when, having acquired a competence, he turned once more to the scholarly pursuits for which he had a very strong bent. The next three years were spent in Berlin, Heidelberg, and Paris. In 1913, the University of Heidelberg conferred upon him the degree of Juris Utriusque Doctor. He is the author of Great Britain and the Panama Canal, and of a number of technical articles published in the American Journal of International Law, in the Yale Law Journal, and in the Columbia Law Review. It would be hazardous to guess what other honors and preferments the gods may have in store for him. Friends of the Law School may feel quite secure while he remains at the helm. — C. S. P. I ' agt 76 School of zv SIN ' CERF effort to make the School of Law a thorough-going professional cleparlnienl has been its most marlccd characteristic during this scholastic year. Willi the general pur pose in view of raising its standards, the Fac- ult - of the Law School ha e clearly shown their determination to build firmly on the broad foundation laid by Dean Towncs. Their first slep in this eiidea ' or, causing comment at the lime, was the placing of twenty-six men on scholasli. ' ]irobatioii, in ihe fall term, and forbidding llieir participation in athletics or outside aclivities. The school has introduced two laudable inno alions A ith the purpose in view of securing l;etter support and co- operation from the bench and bar of the State. One of these, the Te.xas Law Review, has proved especially success- ful. Letters of commendation from lawyers all over the State have been received by the Student Editors and by the faculty. In the publication of the Review, the students are assisted by a board of prominent former members of the Law School. In addition, a series of lectures have been delivered by Judge Rol ert Stayton, G. N. Harrison of lirownwood, and the Hon. Rhodes Baker of Dallas, and are to be continued. During the ' isit of such practitioners, the lawyers all over the State will be able to develop a spirit of sympathy and understanding with the department, while the School will have the benefit of their practical counsel and point of view. Consistent with the policy to gi •e future lawyers practice in appearing on their feet in the courtroom atmosphere, three law societies, the Davidson, the McLaurin, and the Hildebrand, hold weekly mock courts presided over by various members of the faculty and student body. Technical questions that arise both in the school studies and in the actual court proceedings are threshed out in their meetings. On the basis of ability and industry ' in legal study. Phi Delta Phi elects to membership those having an average grade of eighty-five per cent. Chancellors, membership in which is the highest honor the Law School confers, is composed of those who combine personality, scholarship, and achievement to the highest degree. At the Law Ban- quet, postponed until the winter term this year because of the death of Judge Townes, the final election of Chancel- lors from the graduating class is made. Judge Ireland Graves was a recent welcome addition to the faculty, and the return of Professor Frank Bobbitt from Yale, where he has been engaged in graduate work, is eagerly anticipated by the remainder of the faculty. With an enrollment of three hundred and sixty-three, the largest in its historj ' , a graduall - rising standard of entrance requirements, and a gradual but firm insistence on the principle of quality at any cost, the School of Law has a bright future ahead.

Houston Page 83 Law Building Entranxe Page S4 Spurgeon T. Bell ' TEVER in the da s of the cov- - ered wagon was there a man who more truly possessed the spirit of the pioneer than Dean Bell. He was born at Blanco, Texas, on June 28, 1880. Among rugged hills he acquired self-reliance and vision. Since there was little land left to subdue, he has diverted the lagging science of accounting to the needs of a new business era, and to blazing a trail for university training in business. In 1912, he came to Texas as a Professor in the newly created de- partment of business administra- tion, and was given the responsi- bility of moulding the scholastic program of those who desired spe- cialized training for the profession of business — the first special depart- ment for this work in the south. This innovation aroused a variety of hopes and alarms both within and without the beloved forty acres, but, like Fulton ' s steamboat, it actually did run. The students soon found that B. A. 11 was made of sterner stuff than gentle lectures about accounting. When home organizations were at first skeptical, he created a market in New York for the surplus products of the department, and, after several had creditably survived in Wall Street, the folks at home became more interested. The progress which this department, now a school, has made under the con- stant direction of Dean Bell has not been accidental. Many years were spent in academic preparation at Texas and at Chicago, and finally in 1915 he concluded his study with an M. B. A. from the Harvard Graduate School. As Assistant Editor of the Economist, Secretary of the Chicago Commission on City Expeiiditures, and Major on the General Stafif during the World War. he received valuable practical contact. The growth of the school and its broadening sphere of influence is the result of his judgment, foresight, and untiring effort, and the spirit of loyal support and co-operation with which he has inspired all of his stu- dents. — E. K. McG. Page 80 School of business Administration FIRST created in 1912 as a dep:irtinent in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Business Administration school demonstrates by its rapid and certain growth the need for well-trained accountants and business men. Registration sprang from fifty-six in the initial year to nine hundred sixty-one in the session of 1919- ' 20, and one thousand six hundred fifty-seven in 1921- ' 22, the last -ear before the separation of the school from the Academic Department. Since then standards have been .so raised that the enrollment has dropped back to one thousand four hundred and eighty. The addition of Junior standing as a prerequisite to Shorthand and Typewriting was a noteworthy- change this session. Peculiar to this department alone, the Co-ordination course offers the student actual prac- tice simultaneousK- with training in theory. A commercial education by employment in a posi- tion in which a salar - is drawn whi le one is under constant supervision and is graded on his effi- ciency is the unique opportunity offered to older students. As a forward step in education, this new system is especially noteworthy. In order to enhance their acquaintance with the student and at the same time retain an inti- mate record of the type of his work, the faculty of the school have inaugurated the custom of keeping a record in the Dean ' s office of each student ' s interest in work, application, ability to learn, self-reliance, accuracy, speed, reliability, initiative, judgment, and conduct as the pro- fessors and instructors see them. If an emergency arises or questions arise concerning the char- acter of some member of the school, the Dean has these references on which to base his posi- tion in conferences. Forty-five Seniors and two hundred fifteen Juniors enrolled in the School of Business Ad- ministration in its first year of existence. This year the higher standard of work demanded seems to have caused less students to enter the school, as eighty-sixSeniorsandonly one hundred sixty- seven Juniors ha -e been registered. Natural fondness for statistics led the Dean in this depart- ment to send out inquiries to all graduates concerning their present salaries, satisfaction, etc. The 1917 class, having been longest out of school, received the highest average salary — three hundred and fifty dollars a month. The average salaries from 1920 through 1922 ran from two hundred dollars to one hundred sixty-five. Graduates of 1923, barely out of school, were averag- ing a little more than one hundred twenty dollars a month. Although in existence only two years, the B. A. School has made startling progress. Pre- sided over by its patron saint, Hermes, ancient God of Commerce, the school has, in both theory and practice, followed his teachings — swiftness and enterprise, shrewdness in negotiations, and wisdom in the protection and direction of peaceful, legitimate commerce. ■■ H Mj BP B E v J V WBI 1 1 ' 1 1 HMM MI B Page S- Top Row — RiBBINK, VVOODBRIDGE, Gr.

I Engineering Biildixi, Entrance Page q6 Thomas Ulvan Taylor THOMAS ULVAN TAYLOR, founder of the Engineering Department and Uncle of Alexander Frederick Claire, is of Scotch-Irish, Virginia-Tennessee ancestry, with all the qualities that are thereby im- plied. He was born in Parker County, Texas, shortly before the Civil War, and acquired the rudiments of agriculture at so early an age that he can still say Gee and Haw in six languages. In 1872 he moved near Bonham and took a five-year course in practical agri- culture, specializing in grubbing. His uncle there offered him the choice between a team of mules and a year in college. He chose the latter, and made four times the usual amount of work. This secured for him a second year in college, at the end of which he entered Huntsville Normal by competi- tive examination and graduated from there in its first class, ahead of everybody in every subject except Latin. He still speaks Latin so poorly that few of his Engineers can understand him when he does so. The next year he taught school near Bonham and managed to become the Deputy County Surveyor of Fannin. The proceeds from the sale of two horses that he had raised, together with the money made by teaching and surveying enabled him in 1882 to go to the University of Virginia, where he soon graduated with high rank, working night and day and summer and winter to do so. The next five years of his life were spent in teaching at the Miller School in Virginia where, by ardent and prolonged courting, he captured Mrs. Taylor, then a Miss Moon. The Old Man has never been able to deny that he was an d still is moon-struck, a very justifiable form of lunacy. T. U. Taylor lives in the Engineering Department. He began it, he nursed it, and he loves it. He keeps trace of its graduates who are his old boys. To each of them he has given a T. U. Taylor watch fob which they cherish. There isn ' t a C. E. or an E. E. or an M. E. that doesn ' t sing the song of 1913 — Whoop ' em up and whoop ' em up and whoop ' em up again For T. U. Taylor ' s Engineers, a jolly set of men, And whoop ' em up for Taylor, the Dean of Engineers We ' ll whoop him up and whoop him up for 2.5 more years. — H. V. B. Pagt oS School of 8ugiuccri)ig I THE first session of llic I ' liiversity on its present campus and the second since its e islence, ICngineering I rain- ing was iniroilnccd. At tliat time, it was nierely a branch of the School of Mathematics in the Academic l)ei)art- mcnl, bin in K ' ' )5 l lie Kei;crils established the Deparlment of Kngincering. Dean Taylor first took charge in 1888, fotir years after the siiliject became a part of the curriciiliini, and has re- mained at the head e er since. He has been the sotd and spirit of the school and has guided it to its present standing by his perseverance and attention. Instruction was limited to Civil Engineering until 190, , when Electrical and Min- ing Engineering were added. In 1 )0+, Engineering received a decided impetus when a new building solely for its use was constructed upon the campus, and it was possible to move the various branches of instruction into the new school. Upon the creation of the College of Mines and Metallurg ' in El Paso, first opened in 1914, Mining Engineering at the Main University was discontinued. Chemical Engineering was added about ten years ago, but the technical work has been left entirely to the department of Chemistry of the College of Arts and Sciences. About the same time archi- tecture was first included in the department. The established departments giving degrees at present are: Archi- tecture and Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. One-seventh of the total enrollment of the University has generally been the average enrollment in Engineering During the present session, the enrollment by classes has shown Freshmen in the preponderance with a grand total of one hundred ninety-five, and one hundred and eighty-two Sophomores, one hundred fourteen Juniors, and eighty-three Seniors, completing the group. Allowing for two who were counted twice, the total enrollment for the College of Engineering this year has been five hundred and eighty-seven. Of the departments just named, we find Electrical Engineering, with one hundred and eighty-nine, challenging the popular belief in the large number taking Civil Engineering, which trails behind with only one hundred and forty. Architecture, with a registration of an even hundred, and Mechanical Engineering, closely- following it with a regis- tration of ninety-seven, are illustrations of the number interested in these subjects. Lastly, but challenging the others in the amount of work required, and success promised, is Chemical Engineering, with a relatix ' ely small enroll- ment of sixty-three. But attention is not solely devoted to class work. The American Societ ' of Ci ' il Engineers. Ranishorn, Tau Beta Pi, and social organizations, take part in the development of school spirit. Built around their guiding genius and patron saint, Alexander Frederick Claire, and the signal success of the Engineers in all branches of intramural athletics, school spirit exists in this College perhaps to a higher degree than an - other part of the University.

Page io6 The Fortieth iA?i?ii ' Versar Celebration .-, ' ;•: ■ - ;, COMBINING with the biennial Varsity Circus the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the University, Varsity gave itself over, on May the tenth, eleventh and twelfth, to three days of celebration such as have never before been seen on the campus. The celebratitm was opened on the afternoon of May the lentil with an address by Governor Pat Neff, which was followed by an address given by Dean T. U. Taylor. President R. K. Vinson then declared the Fortieth Anniversary Celebration formally opened. With all the pomp and splendor befitting such an auspicious occasion, Maria of the House of Taylor was crowned Queen of the Court of Jewels and Queen of the University on the evening of Thursday, May the tenth. Following the coronation, the Queen, her court and subjects were entertained at a ball and reception given in honor of the Queen and court. Friday afternoon, May the eleventh, the Varsity Circus proper opened with a street parade. The parade was led by the Longhorn Band in full uniform. Following the band came the Gover- nor ' s car and motors carrying the officials of the celebration. Queen Maria, seated on a high throne on a magnificent float, came next. She was attended by her maid of honor. Lady Jeannette Young, and the University unit of the Texas National Guard acting as an escort of honor. Follow- ing the Queen came the various duchesses and their attendants. The third section of the parade was composed of floats of sororities and fraternities; the fourth section of comic floats and burlesques entered by various University organizations; and the fifth and last section was composed of educational floats, showing the work of the various departments of the University. On Clark field at seven-fifteen, Friday evening, the historical pageant, beginning with the early history of Texas, showing how the University was established, and how it grew from a small college to its present size, was presented under the direction of Dr. M. R. Gutsch. This pageant was divided into sections, starting with a historical prologue, elaborate in presentation and costuming, protraying the Indian civilization of the seventeenth century; followed by the French exploration and settlement; the Spanish conquest; the gaining of inde- pendence, first by Mexico from Spain and then by Texas from Mexico; the annexation of Texas to the Union; and ending with the Civil war, concluding the same with a scene showing that great general, Robert E. Lee, shaking hands with the Union general, Ulysses S. Grant. Queen ' s R. ce Returns Queen ' s Float Page 107 Executive Qommittee Top Row — E. D. Smith, A. B. Smith, L. Theo. Bellmont Bottom Rozv — W. L. McGill, Lloyd Martin, Bob Bledsoe The second section portrayed the evokition of the University. The establishment of the University, starting in 1837 when the Honorable Kelsey Douglas introduced the first educational bill in the Texas Congress, and this body appropriated fifty leagues of land in 1839 for the University, was set forth. The establishment of the different de- partments of the I ' niversity was then shown. The third section was a vivid contrasting of the customs, manners and dress of the present-day college students with those of the students of the past. Saturday evening, the final event of the Fortieth Anniversar ' Celebration, the Varsity Circus, took place on Clark Field. The Midway was a blaze of light, and side-shows of all kinds and descriptions, such as even the brains of Barnum and Bailey never conceived, opened their doors to a typical circus throng. The Circus performance was ushered in, in the approved style, by a grand procession in which could be found characters ranging from old King Tut to the modern flapper. It was led by a carriage containing no other than Cleopatra, accompanied by a Spanish tango dancer, and gave fair promise of what was to follow.

With no barb convention and few of the offices hotly con- tested, there was little excitement during the usually tempestuous weeks of office-seeking. Rube Leissner was elected President of the Students ' Association, Nowlin Randolph running him a close second. Lewis White and Henry Fulcher, confronted with no opposition, were elected ELditors of the Cactus and Texan respectively. Brazelton, who ran for Editor of the Longhorn on a platform advocating changing the magazine into a comic, withdrew when the Publications Board decided to publish a Uni ' ersity Comic and placed the editorship in his hands. Mary Jourdan was elected Editor of the Longhorn. The race for Chairman of the Men ' s Council attracted the greatest interest. The eligibility of both Dean and Gambill was contested. On the first count of -otes Gambill was declared elected. After much discussion the objections to the eligibility of both candidates were with- drawn, and Charles Dean was selected on the recount. The office of Managing Editor of the Texan was much sought after, Ray Lee accumulating the greater number of votes while Jack Logan followed a close second. Many unique ways of advertising were used in this campaign. One candidate, evidently believing that the way to a man ' s vote is through his stomach, had his picture pasted on the back of Post Toastie boxes which were distributed promiscuously among the hungry student voters. Another, desiring to appeal to the more aesthetic sense of his prospective supporters, distributed bouquets to all the girls ' dormitories and sorority houses, with his request for their vote skillfully concealed beneath the tender leaves of sweet peas and violets. Another candidate published a newspaper called The Morning Glory. Slogans were numerous and not without originality. Posters with slogans such as A University or a Kinder- garten, If Merit Deserves Recognition then Deserves the Job, Ask those who know the paper, ' Have your cake and eat it, A proven worker for Old Varsity, were pasted on trees, telephone posts, buildings, sidewalks, or any other surfaces which were conspicuous enough. After the mud dried and the janitors had their campaign against the posters and signs which littered the campus well under way, the old-timers agreed that the political campaign of 1923 lacked the old-time pep which was heretofore so characteristic of politics at Texas.

Austin and the immediate vicinity furnish a wonderful field for such a course of study, which, though through necessity is an incidental one at the University, has its important place i i the educational s stem. The placid Lake Austin, winding between the foothills of the Rockies is ideal for swimming and boating. On its banks are located the University Canoe Shed, the Co-ed cabin, and numerous pri ate caniji houses and lodges, and up Bee Creek, an arm of the lake, the co-ed house boat is moored. Bull Creek, which flows into the lake some five miles above the dam, is the object of many a picnic party. The road to this creek is called the Scenic Loop, and runs up the lake shore, over Mount Bonnell, thru beautiful ravines, making one of the most picturesque drives in the country. Even below the lake the Colorado River furnishes a delightful stieam for boating and swim- ming. Wonderful camping sites are found along its banks. Near the dam is located the Deep Eddy Swimming Pool. Into the river flow many small creeks, most of them not deep enough for swimming, but ideal for picnics. One of these. Barton ' s Creek, is, however an exception in that it is one of the most delightful swimming places in the south, the water being clear as crystal and icy cold, coming from large and numerous springs. Hamilton ' s Pool, Indian Cave, and Hamit ' s Crossing on the Perdenales River, Union Creek, Shoal Creek, Dry Creek, and numerous other spring rendezvous offer a wide field for the Uni- versitv ' s nature students. Scene on Bull Creek Waller Creek Near Campus Pant- III Senior T)ay IN a manner quite befitting that spirited class of ' 23 who staged the big frosh-sophomore fight at K. C. Hall in ' 19, senior day was observed by the June graduating class on Thursday, April the 5th. This class arranged a number of senior affairs, such as barge rides, picnics, dances and banquets, and, as an introduction to this program, staged Senior Day. Assembling in front of the Main Building, the seniors marched to the Chem Building, where the senior engineers presented their stunt, faithfully portraying a meeting of the board of regents in session for the purpose of selecting a new president. The procession then proceeded to the Library where the laws held Equity class. From the Library the seniors went to the Main Build- ing again, in front of which, led by the academs, they burned their old texts and note books which they would no longer need. That senior day was a howling success no further proof is needed than the headlines in the Daily Texan of April 11th which read, Library Invasion Probed, and those of the 12th, Nothing Done in Case of Senior Raid on Library. ommencement 1923 commencement was opened Sunday, June the third, by Dr. R. E. Vinson, who preached a baccalaureate sermon in the Men ' s gymnasium. The program for Monday included a concert by the Longhorn Band and the class day exercises of the seniors. That night the seniors gave their final banquet. Tuesday morning a reception for the e.K-students who had returned was held at the Y. M. C. A., followed by a business session and luncheon, and then the ex-es were taken for a sight-seeing tour of the city. The main feature of the e.v -students ' reunion was the meeting and supper of those ex-students who had attended the University in the year 1S83-1884, and who had returned for their fortieth anniversary. The festi -al of lights was held in front of the Main Building Tuesday night, Mr. and Mrs. Vinson holding a reception there for the facult - and the graduates and their parents. Closing exercises for the graduating class were held Wednesday morning, June the sixth, in the Men ' s gymnasium. The class gathered on the perip at 8:30 and marched to the gymnasium where Dr. Vinson conferred degrees upon 475 graduates. An address was delivered by Judge J. M. Goggin, a Texas-ex of the years ' 83- ' 84. Page 112 ' . e istratiofi SEPTEMBER the twenty-first, the day of waiting, confusion, and registration, dawned to find a line of students nearly a mile long standing at the entrance of W Hall, waiting to begin the long and arduous pilgrimage past tables where sat persons, of a type heretofore unknown to them, who would inquire concerning their personal likes, dislikes, interests and relations; in fact, their entire life history and genealogy. After this ordeal, they would be installed, quite an anti-climax, as most of them had resigned themselves to something far more unpleasant by this stage of proceedings in the University of Texas. Homecomifig As the Texas-A. and M. game was to be played at College Station this year, homecoming for the Texas-exes was held on the day of the Oklahoma-Texas game which was played on Clark field. r . • Invitations were sent to all exes within a radius of a hundred miles of Austm, askmg them to take the day ofT and return to the scenes of their college days. Letters were also sent to all the principals of the larger high schools in the vicinity of Austin. A large number of exes came to Austin to witness the game and to attend the get-together after the game. They witnessed the defeat of the Oklahoma University team by the undefeated Texas eleven, the Sooners going down before the Longhorns to the score of twenty-six to fourteen; and again got in personal touch with classmates of former years. After the game the students staged a shirt-tail parade, which, led by the Longhorn Band, marched to the Driskill Hotel, where the ex-students gathered. There speeches were made by some of the prominent exes, who praised the school and team, and prophesied the defeat of A. and M. Thanksgiving Day, a prophesy which came true.

This is preliminary work on a great program which will, when completed, furnish the University with a campus, buildings and equipment sufficient for a Uni ' ersity of a state the size and population of Texas. The thirt ' -seventh legislature passed a bill which provided for the purchase of one hundred and forty acres of land adjoining the forty-acre campus to satisfy the future needs of the University. Most of this land has been purchased and that which has not is now involved in condemnation proceedings. The present campus, consisting of one hundred and eighty acres, extends from Guadalupe Street on the west to Red River Street on the east. The building program proposed by the building committee of the University provides for twenty-nine new buildings, the main building and the educational building to be the only perma- nent ones of those now on the campus, unless B Hall, the seat of Jeffersonian Democracy, is preserved as a historical relic. The Library, the Engineering Building, the Law Building and the Woman ' s Building will be enlarged to meet the needs of the various groups. The proposed plan will place the interests of the women in the northwest corner of the campus, while the center of activities for the men will be on the southeast corner. The shacks will be torn down and per- manent buildings to accommodate 15,000 students will be constructed. A legislativ ' e committee will present this program to the next legislature, to get its approval of the loans necessary to complete the plans. Pl.vn for Fi tlre X ' ARSriY Page 114 The U (ew Stadium ON November the twenty-fifth, 1923, a mov cment was started which was lo end in ihe realiza- tion of the much dreamed-of and talkcd-of stadium. In resi)onse to a letter signed by L. Theo. Behnont, Athletic Director, Coach Stewart, and Coach Billy Disch, thirty students, repre- senting organizations in the LTniversity, met and heard Mr. Belmont ' s suggestion that the attempt be made to make the dream of a stadium for Texas come true. They adopted the slogan of Win or lose, we ' ll build a stadium. At the rally preceding the A. and M. game when the question of a stadium was brought up, it was clearly shown that the alumni and students would be behind such a movement. Then after the victory over that old rival on their own field, another meeting was held at which pledges were made and much enthusiasm was shown. From all sections of the state came letters ex- pressing the approval and interest of the alumni and assuring their cooperation in such a move- ment. On the campus plans for the campaign were carefully worked out and then a mass meeting was held during the first week in December at which the students pledged their unanimous support. Oiganizations pledged their hundred per cent cooperation in the drive, during the following days, but no subscriptions were taken. At the meeting of the Board of Regents during the Christmas holidays, the plan was heartily endorsed. Before the winter term of school began, Mr. Lutcher Stark, Mr. W. H. Richardson, and Mr. Bill McGill began work as members of the executive committee. Plans for the stadium were drawn up by the University architect, and Mr. Max Fichtenbaum was chosen executive secre- tary of the drive. The athletic council appropriated .?5,000 for the financing of the preliminary work, and, as a final step before the drive, the stadium was incorporated as The Texas Memorial Stadium, Inc. With all the preliminary work over, fi -e hundred students were formed into a central com- mittee. An executive committee of nine was formed, and Bill McGill was appointed general chairman cf the student drive. McGill selected a man or woman from each school or college to head the work in that section. Harry D. Cross, representative of the Lyman J. Pierce corpora- tion, acted as financial advisor. The six-day dri e among the students was ended on the evening of March the fourth, pledges having been received from ninety-five per cent of the student body and seventy-five per cent of the faculty. The final total of pledges raised was $165,357.47; this total including the pledge made by Mr. Lutcher Stark of one dollar for every ten pledged by the students. The student drive has reached a successf ul conclusion, an amount far above the total set by the committee has been pledged, but there is yet much to be done. The drive among the residents of Austin has been started and preparations for the alumni drive are going on apace. That these drives will ' go over as big as did the student drive no one doubts, and that Texas will play A. and M. in a new stadium next Thanksgiving is no longer a dream but a fact. Pa%e IIS The 8ngi?ieer ' Banquet ON THE evening of February twenty-first the students of the Engineering Department held their annual banquet at the Driskill Hotel. Enthusiastic and unanimous denuncia- tion of the Academs and the Laws was the prevailing sentiment of the banquet. As was his annual custom, Alexander Frederick Claire, commonly known as Alec, made his appearance at this, the twenty-third spread. Professor E. H. C. Bantel, acting as toastmaster, introduced the patron saint and told of some of his experiences. After this the Engineers were entertained by several speeches and skits by the faculty members of their department. President Sutton spoke on Foundations and Dean Taylor on Texas Spirit. The engineers were also entertained by speeches of represent- atives from the various classes and by stunts of the various professors. All in all, the Engineers said that this was one of the most enjoyable banquets they had ever held. The Texan ' a?iquet Members of the Daily Texan staff deserted the editorial offices between the hours of seven and nine o ' clock Wednesday night, March fifth, to attend their annual banquet, held at the University Cafeteria. Not only did the much-used typewriters lay idle, but also the linotype machine and big press were given rest while the operators attended their annual get-together. The smallest college paper in the world. The Tiny Texan, was printed and given to the mem- bers on their arrival at the banquet. In this tiny paper was the most startling news of the Cam- pus. The program for the banquet included several short talks by the workers and remarks by mem- bers of the Journalism Faculty. The banquet closed at nine o ' clock and the merry staff returned to their work of putting out five thousand papers for the students to read the following morning. All the members of the Journalism staff and the business staff were guests of the Texan workers at the banquet Page 1 16 iAmerica?i jTegion ' a?iquet ON Monday night, February eleventh, the University Post of the American Legion held their annual get-together banquet at the University Cafeteria. Among other very interesting talks was one by Dr. W. S. Sutton, Acting President of the University. In conformity ' with the purpose of the meeting, a resolution expressing the Legion ' s attitude toward the death of President Wilson was drawn up and adopted by the members. It was re- sohed that in the death of President Wilson the Legion felt the loss of his great personage; that they were proud to have served with and under him in the great war for the preservation of civil and human liberty, and to have felt the inspiration of his leadership in the great struggle against the principle of rule by might alone. Acting President Sutton, Dean Butte and Dean Hubbard were guests of the Legionaires for the occasion, and the banquet was a very successful one. ' The J w ' afiquet The Law Banquet was held on February eighteenth at the Driskill Hotel. More than two hundred students cheered wildly when Perigrinus, the patron saint of the Law School, was brought out on his annual pilgrimage to the banquet. The entire hall was decorated in the school colors. Dr. George C. Butte was toastmaster for the occasion. Speakers for the evening were Judges R. L. Batts and O. S. Lattimore, whose speeches pointed to the higher ideals of the law profession, and urged University students to fix their eyes on the highest achievements and to work toward that goal. Several men in the law pro- fession were present, among them the judges of the appellate courts of Texas and the judges of the Supreme Court. At this banquet, as has been the custom, the Chancellors, honorary scholastic fraternity, elected men for their organization. The three men selected were: Eugene Smith of Alpine, Joiner Cartwright of Beaumont and Sloan Blair of Dallas. The speakers representing the differ- ent classes of the Law School were M. R. Hall, representing the Junior Laws; George Mahon, the Middle Laws, and Carleton R. Wynn, the Senior Laws. Page iiy zJ)(Carch the Second MARCH the second was first celebrated at the University of Texas in 1897. In this year the Laws, moved by fear of their patron saint Perigrinus, planned a celebration to give due recognition to this day. On the eve of March the second a cannon was quietly removed from the grounds of the state capito! and was placed in front of the Main Building of the University. President Winston, then head of the University, regarded such a violent demonstration as this promised to be in- expedient and, in ordei to thwart the plans of the Laws, had the cannon spiked. But the Laws were not to be thwarted, for on March the second they had the gun belching forth repeated blasts which shook the doors and windows of Main Building, and they were able in this manner to give the day the welcome and recognition they considered it truly deser ' ed. The present-day celebration on the campus consists of a push-ball contest between the Frosh and Sophs. The last contest was one of the fiercest witnessed for many years. It was well managed, however, and the fighting was confined mostly to mass formations and mob violence, rather than the heretofore promiscuous personal encounters. The number engaged was com- parati ' ely small, there being from one hundred to one hundred and fifty on each side, there were no severe casualties. On the days preceding the push-ball contest, in the years gone by, there were usually many skirmishes and some pitched battles between the two enemy camps, becoming quite violent at times, when the audacious freshmen would storm B Hall, the citadel and stronghold of the Sophomore class. But this year, for some reason, those preliminary struggles were eliminated and the report was e ' en circulated around school that the Frosh would fail to show up at the appointed time and place on March the second. The scoffers who had started such a report were put to shame, however, when the Frosh arrived at House Park, clothed in their most dilapidated garments and with their faces painted in the customary style, and were greeted with cheers by the crowd and Sophs. The two classes lined up, one on each side of the immense ball which was placed in the middle of the field, and at the whistle rushed at it. Once again the old but always exciting and interesting scene was enacted. After much scuffling the ball was raised from the ground to a position over the heads of the men and was forced by the Sophs across the Froshs ' line, bringing the contest to a close in the customary defeat of the first-year men. Rushing into the Plight Page llS Page itQ The yrori Exhibition ' T HIS year the University of Texas observed the one hundredth anniversary of the death of Loid Byron by a Byron Centenary Exposition, held in the Wrenn Library ' , which attracted considerable attention in the library and literary world. The exposition was opened on April 19th and continued throughout the week following, during which time three public lectures concerning Byron were delivered by members of the University faculty, and numerous informal talks were made to the literary societies on the campus and club groups of Austin. Dr. R. H. Griffith spoke on The Ideas of Byron, Dr. H. T. Parlin spoke on The Life of Byron, Mr. Howard Mumford Jones on The Influence of Byroji. The exhibition consisted of author ' s manuscripts, original letters in Byron ' s hand, first editions of his works, presentation copies containing the author ' s inscriptions, and association books which Byron had read and marked. A few of the most interesting items were, the full manuscript of SardanapaJus, portions of the manuscripts of English Bards aijd Scotch Reviewers and Don Juan, a letter written from Missolonghi only two months before his death, a copy of the Giaour with the inscription, To my dearest Sister Mary from her friend and brother, and a copy of Poems on Various Occasions, with the author ' s inscription to Elizabeth Pigot containing three manuscript poems in Byron ' s handwriting. Such a remarkable exhibition was made possible by the kindness and cooperation of friends, particularly Mrs. W. H. Stark of Orange, Texas, who lent her remarkable Byron Col- lection to supplement the fine array owned by the University. The complete and careful cata- logue of all items, compiled by Professors Griffith and Jones, is a real contribution to all hitherto published biography, and deserves to rank as one of the most important publications produced on the University Campus. But the exhibition also marked another date of even greater im- portance to the University — the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Wrenn Library to students of the state. Though the purchase of the library by Major George Littlefield was made in Febru- ary, 1918, the beautiful room in which it is housed was not completed until the spring of the following year. If the oft-quoted words of Edmund Gosse may be used again, the presence of the Wrenn Collection in the University is one of the prettiest romances in modern library history. The collection cf approximately 6,000 first editions and almost priceless rare books of English and American Literature from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the opening of the twen- tieth century was slowly and painstakingly built up by the late John Henry Wrenn of Chicago through a period of thirty years. At Mr. Wrenn ' s death, in 191 1, the heirs, following their father ' s wishes, persistently resisted the efforts of book dealers of England and America to have the Libiary broken up and sold at auction. Its purchase by Major Littlefield for the University of Texas was arranged and concluded before the public knew it was pending. By the terms of the pur- chase it was agreed that the Library should retain the name of its collector, and should be housed as fitted its value and importance. A further gift of Major Littlefield made possible the beautiful room in which it is now located.

The incorporation was effected in accordance with a bill of the Students ' Assembly which pro -ided for the inclusion in the corporation of the three publications that were official in 1921, the date of passage of the bill. In the spring of 1923 The Ranger was created and added to the list of publications under the management of the corporation. The Board of Directors of the publications elects a supervising manager who is vested with the general supervision and direction of the publications, the Board acting only upon matters of policy and upon questions affecting the budgets of the different publications. The policy of the Publications, Inc., is to set aside each year a nominal sinking fund and restore the remainder of any profits that ma} ' accrue to the a ' ailable funds of the various publications, impro ing their quality and increasing their breadth of service. The management of the affairs of the corporation is vested in a board of seven directors, including two faculty members: F. F. Leissxer Mary Jourdan Dr. J. W. Calhoun Dr. J. B. Wharey . J. H.

A supervising business manager is elected annually and is given general direc- tion of the various publications. Serving by his appointment and under his super- vision is a staff including an auditor, a circulation manager, an assistant auditor, two advertising managers for the Texan, an advertising manager for the Cactus an advertising manager ' for the Ranger, a mailing clerk, a stenographer, an office assistant, and seven Texan carriers. This staff handles a volume of business amounting to more than .175,000.00 annually. The entire office force of the publications are either students or ex- students.

Murphree A iidilor Page 123 % The 1924 Qactus _ THE STAFF of this j-ear ' s Cactus has attempted to build the book around the University, the activities, organizations and individuals connected with it, to a greater extent than former editions have been constructed. The theme of the volume is the University itself. Each section represents a phase of school life or the students that represent it, from the opening page to the closing page. Each division is a distinct and complete unit constructed as best adapted to the content, and being related to the other sections only as parts of the whole. It has been attempted to avoid the monotony of strictly mechanical construction with as much variation as seemed appropriate. As far as possible each page has been made to balance with the opposite page. Material of a •ulgar or obscene nature has been eliminated from the Grind Section since the inclusion of such would have been out of harmony with the general purpose of the book, to por- tray University life. Its content was written in the best of spirit and is intended to be humor- ous and not injurious. The book, as in the past two years, was printed by the Hugh Stephens Printing Co. of Jef- ferson City, Missouri, at a cost of almost .113,000.00. The engraving and art work was com- pleted by the Southwestern Engraving Co. of Ft. Worth, costing approximately $6,000.00. Other expens es, including shipping, photos, communications, sales, traveling, and miscellaneous expenses, amounted to more than $27,000.00. The increase in the number of copies by more than 800, and the increase in the size of the book, both in the number of pages and the general dimensions, are the two largest items reponsible for the increased cost of the Cactus. Few pur- chasers of the volume are cognizant of the fact that the purchase price is slightly more than one- half the amount required to pay for the production of each. L.

In some ways, the idea adopted by the paper has been successful; in other ways, the idea has failed. The paper was changed at the beginning of the scholastic year from a paper in which news was reflected as a mirror will reflect an image, to a publication that was vigorous in its support of student activities, attempting to create sentiment rather than to reflect it. The paper was enlarged at the beginning of the year with the installation of a new press, and six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen and sixteen page editions were printed as needed. A much larger number of pictures were used in the paper during the year than has ever been attempted before. Special editions for out-of-Austin football games were printed and distributed in the cities where games were played on the day of each clash, bearing special illustrated sections telling of the game of the day. The innovation, which has been called the most progressive during the year, was the intro- duction of the Sunday Texan with special sections devoted to the activities of the Ex-students of the University. This led to a large increase in the paper ' s circulation among former students of the University. The Texan has attempted to recognize the activities of the sundry religious organizations of the campus during the past year, and in the Sunday Texan added the church page, which held considerable interest for the religiously inclined element of the student body and faculty. The volumes of advertising and news which the Texan has handled during the past year has been much larger than that of any duiing the past twenty- four years of the paper ' s existence. The page with banner or streamer headline, which was practically banned three or four j-ears ago, was made an almost daily occurrence, not with the idea of giving news more play than it deserved editorially, but because the news was available. The Texan has also attempted in the past year to prove itself wc rthy of the confidence of its readers. While sundry errors have crept into the columns, some of them glaring, due to the amateur organization of the staff, The Texan has attempted to present news truthfully, accurately, and without bias. Some students and members of the faculty have continued to cling to preju- dices of former years and condemn the paper as being utterly superficial and undependable, but the paper has striven to be worthy of the confidence of the student body. All changes and innovations of the past year have been made in a spirit of progressiveness and in an effort to support the student body more actively, and though many errors, in judgment have been committed, the staff is proud of the paper ' s record of the year. file iOailji Se.xan IWmiNG BE4KS WB I AIBTMHI STms TWSgR -■ur.ru vl Sudiu,n i ' :i,. .r ■it , wa in lH loan llt-T-.iirT- , ' . . tUiKI uiBnnL -. -- ._.,„ nB irac !? ..

The Scalper was not an official publication, but it was published by students of the University. Need for a comic at State was felt by the student body, and in the spring of 192.3 the Publica- tions Board authorized the publication of a comic magazine, to be called the Texas Ranger, and Julian Brazelton was appointed editor-in-chief. The Texas Ranger has been a marked success, and has been received with enthusiasm over the entire country. It has a circulation of forty-five hundred copies and carries on an exchange with the leading comic magazines of the universities and colleges of the country, some eighty in number. The humor of the Texas Ranger is original and clever, and yet of such a type that no one would find grounds for criticism. The cartoons, all done by the student staff, are to be favorably compared with those of the leading professional comics. The covers for the Texas Ranger have been striking in design and original in make-up.

Formerly it included both comic and literary- material, but for the last two years the Texas Ranger has taken over the comic field, the Longhorn being devoted entirely to the latter field. The magazine contains short stories and poetr - and is published each month during the school year. The contributions come from the professors and students in the rnixersity and also from persons not directly connected with the institution. Prizes are awarded for the outstanding contributions to the magazine. The Chicken ' s Song by Genevi e Aron of Dallas was awarded the Alford Short Story prize by a unanimous decision of the judges of the contest. The Texas Theatre offers this year a prize of ten dollars for the best one-act play submitted to the magazine by any student of the University. Among the contributors not in attendance at the Uni ersity is Mrs. Theresa M. Hunter, an Austin woman engaged at present in successful journalistic work. Besides her feature stories her poems have appeared in many Texas newspapers. Miss Adaline J. Katz, associate editor of Palms, a magazine of English verse published in Guadalajara, Mexico, and formerly on the stafT of the Double Dealer, is also a contributor. Last June Miss Luella Maud Conger was the winner of the poetry contest conducted under the auspices of the magazine throughout the high schools of the state. Another contributor is Mrs. Howard Mumford Jones. She is the director of the Austin Community Pla -ers and has been on the staff of the Woman ' s Home Companion.

Each number has contained one hundred pages or more of illustrated articles about the University and the men and wofnen who have been and still are making the institution. The exception mentioned came during the Great War in 1918, andwas furthermore a direct result of the fight made on the University by Governor James E. Ferguson. Up until that time the expense of the Association had been partially borne by the University itself. When this support was no longer available, the activities of the Association were largely suspended and the Alcalde ceased publication. In January, 1919, however, a group of prominent Texas Exes assembled in Dallas, called there by Judge Dexter Hamilton, President of the Asso- ciation. In a session lasting through the day, this company temporarily provided for the financ- ing of the Association. Volume 1, Number 1, of the Alcalde was issued April 1.5th, 191.3, with Fritz G. Lanham, now United States Congressman from Fort Worth, as Editor-in-Chief. Dr. M. B. Porter came next in rank as contributing editor, and John x ' . Lomax was managing editor. During the following year, under the plan of financing adopted, the signatures of five hundred persons were obtained to an agreement by which the Association is to receive $50.00 a year from each of them for a period of ten years. The Association has now been operating for five years under this agreement. The Alcalde is run independently, getting its funds from general Associa- tion memberships of . ' 1.5.00 a year, which include a free subscription to the magazine. It is a useful and fairly popular publication which every loyal son and daughter of Texas should be proud to have visit them. Bound copies covering its life are available, and one of these days these volumes will be counted extremely valuable and precious possessions by those who have regard for good books.

Never before has there been such a remarkable increase of interest in forensics and public speaking, and now students are as interested in debates and good debaters as the citizens of Illinois were during the time of Lincoln and Douglas. This increase of interest is due to the fact that students are just now realizing the need for forensics in daih ' life and the business world, and are turning their efforts to the upbuilding of the various literary societies and debating clubs on the Campus. The Public Speaking Council has supervision over all of the recognized public speaking contests held within the University as well as those held elsewhere whenever Varsity debaters participate. This council is made up of two members from each of the four men ' s literary societies, one member delegated to the Council from the Student ' s x ssembly, and all of the mem- bers of the Faculty Standing Committee on Forensics and Debates. This council arranges all debates with out-of-state schools, sends judges to all debates in the High School Interscholastic League, and picks the debaters that represent Texas on the platform. Much credit for the splendid showing of Texas in the forensic and public speaking field is due to these members in council, and especially to Mr. C. D. Tomkies and Ellwood Griscom, Jr. These men have placed much of their time in the hands of the embryo Websters and have certainly aided in the estab- lishment of high public speaking standards at the University. Various oratorical, debating, and declamation contests have been held this year, and the many entrants in these contests ' ouch for the interest that the students have for this sort of endeavor on the Campus. The John E. Quaid prizes were won by Felix Raymer, Joyce Cox, and James Hart. The R. E. L. Knight prizes for the best boy extempore speaker went to Blake Johnson, Moulton Cobb, and M. Otis Rodgers, respectively. The best girl extempore speakers that won prizes were Dorothy Fisher and Charlotte Knowd who tied for first place, and Dorothy Mather and Lillian Baldwin who tied for second place. In the Freshmen Declamation Contest, the Wilmot Prize was awarded to Natalie Sherrill and Morinne Taylor for the girls and to Jessie Edwards and Russell Barkley for the boys.

' History of the Qurtain Qlub v ' -sm ORGANIZED in 1909, The Curtain Club, during the fifteen years of its existence, has produced a total of forty-two plays, varying in length from one to five acts, and in type from broad burlesque to dignified tragedy. Few dramatic organizations have as good a record for range, variety, and interest of their productions, and few have shown themselves as flexible. Stark Young was the moving spirit in the early years of the organization. He called together in 1909 a group of men interested in the stage, and laid before them the proposal that they form a group for the purpose of reading modern plays and of producing old ones. Twenty members were present. The first production (staged in the auditorium of the Main Building) was Ben Jonson ' s The Silent Woman. Mr. Young continued to direct the club, which remained sternly masculine, until 1916, and among his productions were Moliere ' s The Miser, Goldoni ' s The Fan, Ralph Roister Doister, and The Knight of the Burning Pestle of Beaumont and Fletcher. A new era began with the regime of Professor William L. Sowers, who directed the club from 1916 to 1919. For one Howard M. Jones Director thing, women were admitted. For another, the club passed from being an Elizabethan society to being a club primarily interested in smart or interesting one-act plays. For a third, the auditorium was condemned. Despite this handicap, Mr. Sowers produced in brilliant succes- sion such characteristic pieces as Barrie ' s Rosalind, Dunsany ' s The Glittering Gate and The Lost Silk Hat, France ' s The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife, Master Pierre Pathelin, and Shaw ' s How He Lied to Her Husband. The third epoch in the history of the Curtain Club is the directorate of Mr. Howard Mumford Jones, which began in 1919 and has continued until the present time. The club has again changed its policies. For one thing it has devoted itself more exclusively to full-evening plays, though not neglecting the one-act productions. For another, it has increased its membership to fifty, and is trying to build up a technical and business staff. For a third, the membership has been thrown open to the whole university, provided that candidates can pass the public try-outs which have been devised for examination purposes. Rehearsal Page 136 i53t . The (agistrate r ' ;3:! : --r FOR ITS fall program the Curtain Club selected an old farce, but a very good one, Pinero ' s The Magistrate. For one thing it had thrilled its audiences with The Thirteenth Chair the previous spring, and it seemed advisable for a variety of reasons to choose exactly the oppo- site type of play. For another reason, the club wished frankly to make money, first, in order that it might pay its debts, and second, that it might slowly begin to accumulate capital on which to build. Rehearsals were begun in October, and on Monday evening, December 10, the play was presented before a full and very hilarious house. The audience caught the spirit of the presen- tation from the first, and it is safe to say that no farce presented by the club had more continuous and hearty laughter. The cast was smoothly balanced and very competent; indeed, it may be said to have had no bright particular star (the Curtain Club is not interested in the star system). But Ben Howell as the amiable Posket, James Hamilton in the character of the choleric Colonel Lukyn, Gilford Crowell as Cis Farringdon, Ruth Hastings as the much harassed wafe, and Chauncey Sanders as the clerk of the police court, being prominent in the plot, necessarily re- ceived most of the popular attention. The play was later taken to Houston where it ran two nights. A notable fact about The Magistrate was the addition to the Curtain Club of an efficient assistant director in the person of Harvey Eagleson, who was made responsible for stage effects and costumes, with gratifying results, the dishevelled director was dragged forth before the public gaze on the last curtain call, but failed to indicate any very good sense of stage presence in the emergency. This fact, and an emergency which arose in opening the doors of the Hotel des Princes, were the only serious defects in an enjoyable evening. Monday Beatie Tomlinson Cis Farringdon Wyke ....

The club said nothing, but went whole-heartedly to work on its most ambitious project of many years. The result was an evening which will remain in the memories of many who were present at it as a golden and beauti- ful thing. Realizing the enormity of the task before them, the directors and the club went carefully to their tasks. First, the play was carefully revised and cut to suit the modern stage. Then the casting of the play was undertaken with extreme care. After that, instead of immediately going into rehearsal, the cast and the director discussed each act separately around a table, deter- mining the meanings of lines, shades of character, dramatic emphasis, and getting thereby a picture of the whole. Costumes and scenery (in charge of Mr. Eagleson, Gilford Crowell, and Margaret Batts Davis) were carefully thought out long in advance of the production. Weekly meetings were held by those in charge of the various departments of production at which ideas were discussed, plans laid, and debate ran high. When, finally, it seemed that the production might fail financially because of the multiplicity of attractions in Austin, the entire club rallied to the cause and sold tickets with a devotion and an emphasis that resulted in the most completely sold-out house of the present season at the Hancock Theater. A passion for perfection seemed to descend upon every one when, on March third, the curtain went up on the first act, revealing the prison of Mary Stuart. The audience was gripped from the start, and as the colorful and impressive story unrolled itself without hitch or blemish, spec- tators lost themselves in the play, so that, at the end, hundreds wept openly, or tried to conceal their tears, at the sorrowful end of so great a queen. At certain moments in the play the clock in the theater could be heard ticking across the silence, and — final tribute — the stage hands were as silent as the audience in front. Popular attention was naturally fastened upon Kathleen Burnett, as Mary Stuart. Young as she is, and grave as are certain of her defects, it is undoubtedly the fact that in Miss Burnett the Curtain Club has the most talented actress for many years. Her voice and her hands are lovely, her command of pathos and of scorn is remarkable, and compensate for her weakness in the direction of humor and worldly wisdom. The audience did well to fall at her feet. Equally remarkable, but, since the role was not a sympathetic one, not so applauded, was the work of Miss Constance Douglas as Queen Elizabeth. In some respects it is probable that Miss Douglas got closer to Elizabeth than Miss Burnett did to the essential Mary. Certain it is that Miss At the Court of Elizabeth Page 138 Mtirv Stndrf — Qontinucd noutilas had the part of her career. Mr. (iaiiies as Lord Leicester acquitted himself nobly of a dirticiilt and complex role which, again not lieing sympathetic, was unfortunately ignored in the newspaiXTs — which are still under the impression that the way to praise the Curtain Club is to say something bland about amateurs. The audience took to its heart the gallant and heroic Mortimer, beautifulh ' portraN ' ed In MeKin Williamson. But all the parts were, for once, ade- quateh ' tilled — Beatrice Burnaby as Hannah Kenned - made many cry with her heart-rending sobbing, Ben Howell, late Posket, was excellent as Amias Faulet. Appearing for the first time in an - of the Curtain Clidi productions, the director of the club, in the role Lord Burleigh, ] ro ' ed himself to be a consummate character-actor, and the superb army, as they carried off the dead Mortimer, received well-deserved applause. It is safe to say that for sheer beauty and sincerity and even passion, the Curtain Club will not soon produce the equal of Mary Stuart.

The Lord High Chancellor, James Hart, announced the entrance of the duchesses and ladies-in-waiting, who were met before the throne by their Dukes and escorts. First came Lady Lynette of the House of Onstott, Duchess of Turquoise, followed by her maid, Katherine Terrell. They were met by Duke George Tremble and Esquire Walter Raleigh Smith. Lady Josephine of the House of Gilliam, Duchess of Aquamarine, came next, with her maid Blossom Lusk. Duke Cameron Fairchild and Esquire Monroe McConnell greeted them before the throne.

Page 1 2 The een ' s ' Ball PERVADED b a medieval atmosphere, the ball and reception in honor of Queen Maria of the House of Taylor and her Royal Court was held on the evening of May the tenth, in the Woman ' s Gymnasium and Woman ' s Building. Immediately after the c oronation, the Queen and her Court proceeded to the Woman ' s Building, entering by means of an ancient drawbridge, and were received by the patrons and patronesses of the Ball. After the reception, the Queen and the Royal party made their entry into the Woman ' s Gymnasium, which was decorated to represent the interior of a medieval castle. High gray stone walls were hung with battle axes, spears, shields and coats of arms. The medieval idea was further carried out in the small Gothic windows, the banners hanging on the walls, and the low-slung torches hanging from the ceiling. The Ball was formally opened by Ye Grande Promenade, led by Her Majesty, Queen Maria, honoring King John of the House of Bullington. The programs were scrolls written in old English. The fourth dance was a cotillion, which was led by Mr. Robert Murphree, honoring Miss Mary Glen Vick of Fort Worth. Between dances couples strolled in a tea garden between the Woman ' s Building and the Gymnasium, where French bulb lanterns gave a soft glow, and tables and chairs were scattered. Duiing the intermission a negro quartet gave several selections. Dancing continued until three o ' clock when the ball ended with a dance called, All Hail Our Beautious Queene. The H. ll Page 14} The San Sam Qoronation NOT EVEN in the days when cries of Long live the Queen or possibly the King, were popular, would there likely have been found a coronation of greater splendor than the coronation of the Order of the Violet Crown. The setting was magnificent in dignity and splendor. The Court of Jewels was particularly beautiful, having peacocks of various sizes at numerous points on the walls, and an impressive throne, surmounted by a large peacock, in the center. In the background a large tower consisting mainly of gems completed the setting. After the trumpets had sounded their introductory calls, Lord High Chamlierlain, L. Theo. Bellmont. announced the formal assembling of the royal party. The visiting duchesses to the court were Miss Gladys Dublin of Jacksonville, Miss Lois Fender of Kaufman, Miss Opal Mar- shall of Temple, Miss Stella Slade of Dallas, Miss Lila Hayden of Galveston, Miss Elloise Carr of San Antonio, and Miss Josephine Clary of Ft. Worth. They were accompanied by their maids, the Duchesses of Jewels, who were. Miss Elizabeth Wroe, Duchess of Turquoise; Miss Gordon Hughes, Duchess of Topaz; Miss Josephine Posey, Duchess of Sapphire; Miss Minifred Smith, Duchess of Rubies; Miss Martha Reese, Duchess of Emeralds, and Miss Anna Frances Griffith, Duchess of Amethysts. The I adies-in-Waiting were Miss Dorothy Amber, Miss Bess Gilbert, and Miss Frances Mayfield, who were accompanied by their ladies Miss Ruth Chumney was the Princess of Pearls, the station of highest rank following that of King and Queen. Miss Helen Rulfs was the Duchess of the University. After the introductory ceremonies had been completed, in a short and impressive manner, King Sam, of the ' House of Sparks, declared Hazel, of the House of Edwards, Queen of the Violet Crown, and ordered the celebration in honor of the occasion to begin. Pa e 144 The Qozdfoy Trance THE days of old Texas were revived on the campus the mornhig of February the hiteenlh. Cowboys on wildh- Ijucking bronchos, encircled the campus, brandishing all manner of fire- arms, firing repeatedly and forcing all but the bravest to seek shelter behind some tree or shack as they came racing by, on their apparently uncontrolled horses. The scene was one which in days gone by was very common in the ranch townsVhen the cowboys came in to shoot up the town. The object of the mad riders on the campus was the same as that of their predecessors who rode the Texas plains many years before, mainly, to attract attention, not this time to themselves, but to the fact that following the Texas-Baylor game that e ening, there was to be a dance, the first that the Cowboys at Texas University had ever given. That night the Woman ' s Gym was decorated with orange and white streamers, with all manner of steer heads hanging from the walls. In one end of the building was an antique bar, with only the kick missing, which nevertheless looked realistic. During the dance a unique program of stunts was given, the main feature being a serenade by the Sunbeam Band, a B Hall organization, which rendered several selections, including various well-known cowboy ballads. The grand march, of true cowboy style, was led by Mr. Herbert Craft, honoring his lady, Miss Rosemond Blackmon. The Baylor coach, the Texas coaches, the President of the University and the Dean of Women were among the honor guests. The Cowboys, the University pep organization, was founded in the fall of 1922, but until this occasion there had never before been a round-up and dance given by the organization. The affair met with such success that it has been decided to make it an annual function. Page 14.5 10 ( i Thanksgiving Qerman -.k, THE annual Thanksgiving German of the l ' ni ersity German ( lub was held the night of No ember twenty-fifth in the K. of C. Hall, which an unusual and effecti x ' decorative idea transformed into a low ceilinged, softly lighted room, featuring the Orange and White of Texas. In the center of the dancing floor a square was railed off for the musicians and was surrounded by a low balustrade, entirely co ' ered with garlands of evergreens. Four square pillars wrapped in orange upheld above this a canopy interwoven of orange and white, and radiating from this in exery direction were alternate strips of orange and white which formed a roof over the whole scene. Here and there among the strips were strings of Japanese lanterns, and the wall lights were shaded with lanterns in orange and white, lighting the room very softly. Robert G. Payne led the grand march, honoring Miss Josephine Hodgson, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority. Miss Hodgson ' s gown was cf white satin heavily embroidered in rhinestones and pearls, and she carried American beauty roses. Mr. Clyde Parrish led the cotillion, dancing with Miss Corita Davis. Miss Davis wore orange chiffon shading into pale yellow with bouffant skirt and beaded with steel beads. Her flowers were gold chrysanthemums. Favors for the girls were perfume novelt ies in the form of bo. es holding a pair of dice, each of which was a tiny perfume bottle. The men received packages of cigarettes. Punch was served during the dancing and a midnight plate lunch was served. Music was furnished by CoUis Bradt ' s orchestra. The following were chaperones for the evening: Mrs. O. T. Booth, Mrs. Dan Bellows, Mrs. J. B. Ainsworth, Mrs. Sallie Brush, Mrs. E. B. Hancock, Mrs. N. N. Lovell, Mrs. Pendergast, Mrs. Kate Wakefield, Mrs. H. G. King, and Misses Ruth Bedford, Lucy Newton, and Gertrude Wroe. Several hundred dancers enjoyed the affair. I ' age j46 The Tlhviks- givifig ceptioN : THE Thanksgi ing Reception, an annual affair of the l ' iii ersit ' , was gi en in honor ot the ictorious football team, on their return from College Station. It was given under the auspices of the Students ' Assembly, which desired in this way to show the student-body ' s appre- ciation for what the team had accomplished during the season just completed. The dance was given at the W ' oman ' s Gymnasium and following the unbroken line of cus- tom, was a real all-University function at which the faculty, students and isiting alumni all met. The Gymnasium had on its Holiday dress and looked most festive with orange and white streamers, hung from the ceiling and with autumn foliage, cornstalks and pumpkins placed in effective positions around the room. Orange lights threw a golden glow o er the entire scene, making in all a true Thanksgiving atmosphere. The decorations were in charge of Miss Frances Higginbotham, a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority, who led the grand march with Mr. Robert H. Gahagan, a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity-. Dancing continued from nine until two, while Jimmie ' s Joys furnished the music. Pagt S4J The £ aster Qerman FEATURING an elaborate and beautifully carried out spring motif, the Easter German was held Friday, April the fifth, at K. C. Hall. The decorations were unusually artistic and lent an atmosphere of spring to the dance. Draped from the center of the hall and running to the walls were alternate strips of blue and white which formed a restful canopy for the dancers. The lights were covered with delicate pastel shades of silk, giving a delightfully soft effect to the whole scene. The stage was partially hidden by a blue gauze curtain worked with a cut design of lilies, back of which was the orchestra, Jimmie ' s Joys. Large baskets of beautiful Easter lilies at appropriate places completed the decorations. Mr. Maurice Angly, President of the German Club and a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, led the grand march, honoring Miss Linda Bellows of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Miss Bellows wore an exquisite and striking gown of white satin with small blue rufifles around the skirt, and carried a lovely shower bouquet of roses,, jonquils and posies. Miss Zetta Alonso, a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority was favored by Mr. Arthur Mueller, Vice-President of the German Club and a member of the Chi Phi fraternity, and led the cotillion with him. Miss Alonso wore a gown of heavy metallic cloth of the draped silhouette style. She carried a bouquet of pink roses. Instead of favors being given out during the cotillion, a delicious plate supper was served, while frozen punch was poured throughout the entire evening. Page 148 -■-1 The C utus ' Ball W. Sr-- THE Cactus Ball, celebrated on February the twenty-second, culminating the Cactus drive and announcing the winner of the Cactus lottery giving a summer [steamship trip to New York by way of Havana, was a very large but informal affair. About the middle of the dance at a signal the dancers halted and crowded around the ele- vated platform on which had been placed the large barrel containing the hopes of many an aspirant for the summer trip to New York. Bob Murphree announced the details of the prize to the then excited and expectant throng. After Murphree had smashed in the head of the orange keg. Miss Maria Taylor of San Antonio, former Queen of the Varsity Circus, drew from the barrel a stub bearing the number 527, and Norman Barkiey had won the trip to the Great City. This trip was given by the Cactus to the person holding the lucky number. Each person who had bought a Cactus received a chance. The grand march was led by Robert L. Murphree honoring Miss Maria Taylor. The decora- tions of the gym consisted of orange and white streamers radiating from the central portion of the building. The attendance at the dance was the largest of any that has been held at the University this year. All those possessing a Stubbie or other portion of the card in the Cactus barrel were admitted without charge. Even the large available dancing space of the Women ' s Gymnasium, in which the dance was held, hardly sufficed to accommodate the huge crowd. Drawing the Lucky Number Page 140 The Orphans ' ' Party SUCH A mob of chattering girls, such a gang of swaggering boys with their dogs, dolls and fishing poles. Here and there a crying baby, over yonder a fight, accompanied by much hair pulling and many piercing shrieks, and over in that corner a bashful little boy giving a shy little girl his big red apple and green lolly-pop. Such was the Orphans ' Party which was held at the Women ' s dym the night of January the nineteenth. The Orphan Party is an annual affair given each winter term by the omen ' s Athletic .Association. For the amusement of the small tots a series of stunts had been planned. First there was the Pullman Car. a clever skit of one act. Then four little orphans jigged for their play-fellows, and this was followed by an inter- pretation of the Valentino tango. A Bachelor ' s Dream concluded the program. The winners in the Cactus drive were then announced. The grand march was led by Mistress Natalie Sherrell and Mistiess Mary Patterson, who were voted the cutest couple -It the dance. . prize was given for the largest aggregation of orphans, which Matron Kauffman with her Masonic Home easily won. Flora Buckner was elected the most under-nourished child present and was presented with a pint of milk. Dancing followed, the music being furnished by the Texettes. The yunior Prom Stacomb, .Arrow collars, bow ties and canes, stove pipe hats and Tu.xedoes, all combined, and made perfect jelly-beans and jazz-hounds of the junior girls who escorted their senior ladies to the Junior Prom, which was held Tuesday evening, April the twenty-third, at the Women ' s Gym. The grand march was led by Mr. Agatha McLarry, favoring Miss Katrina Kirby. Mr. Katherine Lemly, honoring Miss Anna Hiss, lead the cotillion. The prom consisted of ten dances and three extras, of which the Harper Hesitation, T. V. Taylor Toddle and the Calloway Canter proved by far most popular. The large number of stags added much to the gaiety of the Prom and helped make it a perfect party. The Te.xettes played for the dance and scored a decided hit with their jazzy jazz, their mournful minor waltzes and their general pep. Ovei three hundred and fifty girls attended the prom, this being the largest number ever had at the Junior Dance. It was a formal affair, the escorts sending flowers to their ladies and calling for them in cabs. The Gym was decorated with or. ' .nge and white banners, which gave a most festive appearance to the building.

The Band Serenade, the Bluebonnet Swing-Out and the illuminated Main Building were out- standing features. Texas spirit rose higher this year than ever before. The snake dances onClark field, the Pep Rally before the A. M. game, and the Citi- zens ' and Students ' Rally were some of the outlets for an abundance of pent- up enthusiasm. We remember how gloriously the team pushed back the Com- modores at Dallas last fall. The Band and the Cowboys entertained us almost as much as did the score. The Cow- boys were a leg ahead of the gang in getting the Baylor Bear when we made the trip to Waco. . -mm mmrrwmmm mm mm- i gd S DPM hi lf !

When the time rolled around we couldn ' t all go to Col- lege Station, so some of us had to listen to the returns of the game over the Co-op radio. Snow again! All the campus buzzards changed to snow- birds. A warm re- ception awaited the unwary prof who ■■ unconventionally tried to make a class. Who wanted to go to classes any- way when all out- doors called? Mary Stuart was the most ambitious and probably the most successful Cur- tain Club production. Our memory of this drama is refreshed by the three scenes showing the execu- tioner, the confession, and the interview between Mary Stuart and Pauiett. These are some of the workers who are carrying on for the New Stadium and Texas. They helped to make the Stadiu- meter rise. We all heard the roar of the cannon boom out the news of each ten thousand dollar in- crease in subscrip- tions.

Three other things a young man ' s or a young woman ' s in- terest turns to in the spring are the Deep Eddy pool, the lake, and Hamilton ' s Pool. Speaking of swim- ming, the Co-eds can give the Eds a lot of pointers. If another diversion is preferred to swimming, a ride over the hills and thru the winding lanes around Austin is just as much fun as a swim. The Co-eds have dancing classes in and out of the studio. The three scenes pre- sent an idea of the grace and beauty of their artistic inter- pretations. The Stars and Stripes and the flag of Texas are raised and lowered each day near the West Wing of the Main Building. Through the trees is the South Side of the Law Building, and below is the Library as seen from Beck ' s Pond. Down the walk is the Education Building almost obscured by the trees. The East Door is at the end of the shady walk. And finally we decide that the old Chemistry Building seems less aged in the shadows cast at sunset.

Stezvart Doc Stewart came to Texas to rise or fall on his own merit. I ' ndreamed of success in football and basketball speaks for him as a coach. His fighting spirit reached far beyond his teams to the last student in the university. Athletes and boosters found a worthy leader when Doc came to Texas. I ' age 204 ( oach William J, ' Bisch BiUy Disch, dean of Texas coaches, believes that the gentleman is to be desired in athletics, as elsewhere. The respect of everyone and the affection of those who know him are proof that, as a coach, headheres to the high standards of sports- manship he advocates. His eleven consecutive championships in baseball are in- dicative of his ability as a coach. Pagt 205 Qoach Qlyde I ttlefield Clyde Littlefield, Texas ' greatest all-round athlete, found track at a low ebb when he returned to the Longhorn pen as a coach of that sport. He has already made a name as a developer of stars, and his reputation has proved a magnet for many athletes who come to Texas, bearing in mind the privilege of working on the field with him. His 1923 team, was the strongest the conference has produced; it is a tribute to his coaching ability. Paue 2o6 Coach T). A. Penick Dr. Penick has coached Tennis for many ears at the University and has never failed to build up a successful team. His comprehensive knowledge of the game, his ability to develop players, and the constant attention he devotes to his men, are some of the many qualities of his instruction that have contributed to his marked achievements. He is the foremost ad%ocate of clean sportsmanship in the South- western Conference and is an indispensable factor in Texas Tennis. Page 207 Mayer Hamilton (IRl) McWhirter Yell jTeaders NOT the least satisfying thing about the football and basketball seasons was the fine rooting of the Texas fans. For the first time in the memory of man, Texas outrooted A. and M. on Kyle Field. The famous Aggie cadet rooting section found its match last Thanksgiving when the Texans, urged on by Mayer, Word, Hamilton and McWhirter, kept pace with the Long- horn eleven. The great records of the Longhorn teams did not come easy. But matters never got too dark for this corps of yell leaders to have plenty of pep for themselves and the whole rooting section. Scholars lip Win?iers Recognizing that .scholarship is a very essential element in the success of an athlete, the athletic council decided to take some definite recognition of the men who were proving that an athlete can excel in class work as well as on the field. The student must pass courses before he gets his chance at the team, and scholarship, in a way, is the most essential qualification of an athlete. The first year ' s scholarship winners are found to be among the most -aluable men on their respective teams. Each man has been awarded a medal by the council. Following are the winners for the last six .seasons: Marley, football: Curtis, basketball; Smalley, baseball; Scurlock, track; Tabor, tennis, and Gorman, wrestling. CVRTIS Scurlock T.-VBOR Sm. lley Gorman Makley Vage 208 Clark Field Qlark Field Abdicates CLARK FIKLD, cradle of Texas athletics, has given way to its inevitable successor, a Stadium. The infant Longhorn has outgrown its early home, and has long strained in its cramped pen of weather-beaten boards. Spirits of Longhorn athletes in days gone by hover round the worn gray grandstand, waiting to claim to their memory alone the scene of so many clashes where they withstood invasions of gridiron, track and diamond. But Clark Field will not pass forever from the realm of usefulness. The field will still be used temporarily as a baseball park, but with the erection of the Stadium, track and football will go to the new structure on Breckenridge Field. Plans for the Stadium indicate that Texas athletes of the future will, indeed, be called on for great performances if they would build tradi- tions for their new home in proportion to its magnificence. A great horseshoe stand, elaborate dressing rooms and showers, with all con ' eniences, basket- ball courts for practice work, an indoor track with a 100-yard straight-a-way, and indoor equip- ment for field events— all these will be a material and inspirational blessing to the Longhorn teams. Texas has gathered momentum noticeably in athletic progress during the last year or two. The glories of the past are no brighter than the promise of the future. Unprecedented success in the five major sports of the Southwest give Texas a premier ranking in all. Student body and alumni now assume a premier supporting role in the building of the Stadium. :c immh The Stadii m I ' age 20Q The -Athletic Qouncil PROBABLY the most active year in the history of the school is the record made by the athletic council during- the past year. Few students and alumni realize the im- portance of the ways and means branch of athletics, the men who hire coaches, direct athletic policies, award letters, provide equipment, and build for the future teams. The athletic council has, for a number of years, been con- stantly at work improving the coaching staff, and now, with the signing of Doc Stewart for two more years, Clyde Littlefield presiding over the destinies of track and Billy Disch piloting the baseball teams, the most exact- ing could hardly ask for better leaders. As would be expected, the council was one of the biggest factors in the move for a Stadium, a reality which will mean much to the Longhorn teams of the future, and which will prove a big drawing card for coming athletes. The council loaned the stadium committee the initial | ' 5,000 to be applied in the preparatory work of building the new field. One important change in the policy of the council as to student managers was made during the past year. Acting upon the recommendation of the T Association, the managers were admitted to full membership in that organization, with all its privileges. The managers will not receive the unqualified T of the athlete on their sweaters, but will have a small M inserted in the base of the letter to indicate their capacity as such. This action has met with the approval of athletes, managers and student body, and settles a matter of long dispute. The council made another addition to the coaching staff when it signed Alec Waite to assist in the coaching of the football team. Following are the members of the council: Faculty — Dr. D. A. Penick, chairman; Dr. C. G. Haines, J. W. Calhoun, Fritz W. Graff and E. H. C. Bantel. Alumni— James H. Hart and Dr. Sam Key. Students — Ira J. Allen, Moulton Cobb and Ben Brown, and Secretary L.

In picking men for the 1923 Longhorn football team my first thought was to find the type of boy who could analyze and understand this idea. The man who just will not admit defeat, even when the score is decidedh- against him, regardless of his size, is a very valuable type of man for any football team. Taken collectively, and conditioned to the 100th degree; given a few plays perfectly mastered, such an aggregation is a pleasure to work with, and IF any one characteristic might be emphasized as the one responsible for the favorable showing of the 1923 football team, I would point to the ne er.give-up spirit which was apparent to e en the laymen last fall. Texas was fortunate in having men with this characteristic, and by properly employing it, gettin g the boys in fine condition so that the consciousness of superior condition always reacted for greater fight in the pinches, the Longhorns proved unbeatable when put to the Acid test. Of course, a great many other elements entered into the success of the team, such as a school spirit which was reflected in the improved morale of the team; a goal line punch, which would not be denied once the twenty-yard line had been reached, and a willingness to work 100 percent in daily practice; to sacrifice personal glory for team strength, etc. If I were to offer a suggestion to students and alumni in preparation for the 1924 season, I would say, Get yourself where you can say and belie e, ' We won ' t be beaten.

ARSITY FOOTB.VLL TE. M Page 21 J Season of 1925 FEW Longhorn followers, even the most optimistic, predicted the undefeated season which the team of 1923 gave Texas. The attitude of the student body was one of frank discourage- ment over the prospects of a championship, and an undefeated season, with the hardest schedule in the history of the school, was considered impossible. The Texas Aggies, ever present menace to Texas ' hopes, were regarded, early in the season, as the coming champions by the sport writers of the state. The S. M. U. Mustangs, likewise, were hailed as a great team, due to outshine the Longhorns as a contender for football honors. The Vanderbilt and Oklahoma games were looked forward to as ery probable defeats for Texas. The early season work of the Longhorns was characteristic of the activity of the men throughout the year. Without the frills of early season setting-up work, the squad was plunged into a series of hard workouts and early scrimmages. Coach E. J- Doc Stewart got down to business from the start. The Aggies were the disappointment of the year, as far as dope upsets were concerned, for they met with reverse after reverse. The great machine which Coach Bible was supposed to have just didn ' t seem to get going, though the strength of the team merited greater success than the scores that it got. The showing of the Longhorns in the opening game of the season, against Austin College, did little to revive any hopes of a championship which might have lurked about the campus. Texas won easily, but the Orange team seemed slow. It had the brawn and the power, but lacked punch. Stewart ' s tactics surprised every one in that they were almost as simple and direct as he said they would be. He gave the team few plays, but stro e for perfection in details. The following week Texas again won a fairly easy victory, for the team had improved a hundred per cent. The ele en was roundmg into shape and gave promise of being a good team. The men played with machine-like precision Seddon hine Coach Stewart Phoninc.

Alter that showing it was no surprise when Tulane was smothered in liie iliird clash on the schedule by a decisive score. Then came the Vandy game. The Longhorns were truly the underdogs that da -. ()nl - those who saw the game will realize the desperate tight the men put into that game. K ery man was at his best, or above it. Impartial critics say the Texans played o er their heads. Better said — the - fought every minute. The more than gratifying IG to ictc)r - placed Texas high among the better football teams of the nation. Easv victories over Southwestern and Rice followed. Th ' j tension after the Vandy game relaxed. The team met unexpected strength in Baylor, arid the carefully guarded tricks of Coach Bridges got the Bruins off with a 7 to 7 tie with Texas. The comeback of the Longhorns proved the mettle of the players in the face of a threatened defeat. Further national fame came to Texas with a 26 to 14 victory- o er Oklahoma University. Smarting under the tie with Baylor, the Steers stampeded to a great ' ictory over the forward-passing Sooners. Most glorious of all was the smashing of Kyle Field traditi.in when the Aggies swallowed their first Texas defeat on that historic gridiron. The jinx was out-jinxed that day. Texas was proclaimed the leading team of the Southw ' est, and one of the best in the nation. The national fame brought to Texas by virtue of intersectional Waite games cost the Longhorns the more local honor cf the conference Backfield Coach championship, due to the fact that S. M. LI. played more conference games. No one would trade the glorious victories over V anderbilt and Oklahoma for additional conference games to boost a percentage rating. The season was more than the most exacting would ask. Skcll Pr. ctice Pase 21 s -Austin Qollege — T hillips — Tulane Before the opening of the season, Coach Stewart plunged into hard workouts with little preliminary training. Hard work was a daily diet from the first day. Press reports of training camp activities had been watched with great interest over the state, and everyone was anxious to see what the new mentor was doing with his material. Little information leaked out, how- ever, as to what the real temper of the team would be. These football fans got little encouragement from the Austin College game, which the Long- horns won, 31 to 0, without undue exertion. The eleven looked beefy enough, and powerful enough, but seemed to lack speed and punch. Just as was predicted, they had no intricate trick plays, but depended upon fight to win each game. The flaws which that game disclosed were put to profit, and it was a different team that smothered Phillips, 51 to 0, a week later. A 33-to-O victory over Tulane in the third game of the schedule w as taken as matter of course by Texas followers. The Greenies were hardly as strong as had been expected. Though the Longhorns played steady football, they did not appear to be the great team needed for the games ahead, and still further improvement was hoped for. Tynes Scores on Southwestern ' Page 216 )anderbilt Sonic mysterious thing found its way into the hearts of eleven Texans on October 16 — Result, Texas 16, Vanderbilt 0. Picking stars without mentioning every man that played would justify dispute. Oscar Eckhardt, carrying the ball time after time, was the greatest ground gainer. Os proved himself to be one man who could advance without fail against the Commodores. The first quarter was hard fought and ended scoreless. When Marley smashed through the Vandy defense in the second period, and Robertson added a point with a place-kick, the tide of the game was set. Not satisfied with a lone touchdown, the Longhorns came back with super- fight in the last half and stopped the desperate Commodores who threatened to rally. A great place-kick by Robertson for three more points in the third quarter set the Longhorn rooters wild. The kick was from the 45-yard line. The lead served as a stimulant to the stampeding Steers; and Texas continued to force the struggle the rest of the way. Early in the fourth quarter, Eck- hardt got loose and topped off his gains of the day with a run for a touchdown. The try for a goal failed. Burns, Curtis, Dayvault, Bralley, Gorman, Bluestein, Gilstrap, Robertson, Tynes, Marley, Eckhardt were all stars that day. Wakefield and Reese played great football for Vandy. Interference Ag.vixst ' . ndv Pagt 217 Soiithzve stern — RJs — Baylor Following the great Vandy ictory, Coach Stewart ga -e his men a chance to let up a bit the next week. In spite of temporary lack of practice and frequent substitutions, the Longhorns rolled up 44 point on the Pirates. Rice showed unexpected strength in the early stages of the game the following week. The regulars were forced to stay in the major portion of the fray, to -ecure a win. The 27-to-O score was very satisfactory, considering the condition ot the squad. Baylor ' s carefully guarded strength and the tricks of the wily Frank Bridges caught the Long- horns ofT guard on November 10. A punt out of bounds early in the game gave Baylor the ball on the Texas S-yard line, after Texas was forced on the defensive by a successful onside kick-off. A touchdown followed, and matters looked bad for Texas. Finally Texas got the ball and a chance to open up in the third quarter — the chance Bridges had planned to eliminate. A magnificent drive down the field from the Texas 35-yard line ended in a plunge over the goal line by Joe Ward. Robertson tied the score with a place-kick. The last half was a great tribute to the fighting spirit of a team which bumped into unexpected strength, suffered heart-rending breaks, and met a team which had prepared for that game all season. Sku(tin(, Baylor ' s Ends Pae.e 218 Oklahoma When Oklahoma sent one of the strongest teams of the Missouri Valley conference to Austin defeat looked probable in spite of the Longhorn record. Captain Tynes was out with injuries received in the Vandy game, and other regulars were totally or partially disabled. The opening plays of the game ran true to dope, Texas being forced to accept a defensive role. Just before the first quarter ended Eckhardt got loose around end and raced to a touch- down. From then on he was a terror to the Sooners. About the only way he could be stopped was to force him to the sidelines. Few tacklers broke through his deadly stiff-arm and good in- terference. In the next two quarters the exuberant Texas fans could hardly realize the success of the team, as three more touchdowns followed. Coach Stewart sent substitutes into the game be- fore the fourth quarter, several Longhorns showing the effect of the terrific pace they :had set. In the last period the Sooners opened up their brilliant passes with wonderful success. They justified their claim to being the greatest passing team in the Southwest when they netted two touchdowns by virtue of their great aerial play. This 26-to-14 victory was almost as great a result of the fight in both line and backfield as was the Vandy game. One of Sooners ' Great Passes Past ZIQ o . «s Jhc. The overconfidence which had bL en lacking the early part of the season was present as the annual handicap when the Aggie clash drew near. The success of the Longhorns had turned the heads of man ' followers. The Aggies had not won a conference game while Te.xas had won Irom Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. Doc Stewart faced one of the most difficult tasks of the year when he began to fight this threatening overconfidence which had cost Texas so dearly in past Aggie games. The great record of the team would have been hopelessly ruined by a dope upset on Thanksgiving. Then Doc began to get close to the students. After a few of those never-to-be-forgotten pep ral- lies, the student body began to realize that they had to fight with the team. The campus was flooded with Texas spirit that week. Some said the Old Texas Spirit had come back. More than likely it was such spirit as the campus had ne er seen before. Then, almost on the eve of the game, Bluestein, the line-captain, broke his leg. Doubtless it would take fight to win the game, and a certain grimness settled o ' er student body and team. Then the team and most of the student body boarded trains for College Station. Heavy rains had soaked the field and literally dampened the hopes of Texas, for luck too often snatches victory away on a muddy field. The Aggies were expected to unco -er unknown strength, as did Baylor, and in a sea of mud anything could happen. TvNEs Thrv .Aggie Like Page 2ZO- Stibby Lewis (Mascot) t ' AKTWkU.HT (Mgr. ) EcKDAHL (Trainer ) . ,M. — Continued Texas received. Eckhardt went around right end for 14 yards on the first play and Texans went wild. A fumble of the slippery ball followed, giving the ball to A. M. on the Texas 48-yard line, which, incidentally, was the only time the Aggies had the ball in their possession in Texas territorv. After an exchange of punts, on which Texas gained, the teams settled down to muddy field tactics. Eckhardt punted to Pinson, the latter almost under his goal posts. The mud- coated ball got through his hands and bounded toward the Aggie goal line. A moment of silence gripped the thousands of fans who, seemingly, were hypnotized by the bouncing of the ball. Ward and T nes were on Pinson before he could turn and recover. Ward crashed into Pinson, nailing him to the giound, and Tynes scooped up the ball and dived across the line for a touch- down — the first and only one that Texas has scored on Kyle field. Aggie traditions were shattered. A heartrending break of the game robbed Texas of another touchdown in the third quarter after a magnificent advance from the center of the field to the Ag- gie 2-yard line. The Farmers were kept fighting with their backs to the wall the rest of the game. As dusk settled, the smoke of outbound trains passed over historic Kyle field as if to hide the e the Texas eleven ploughed in the sod sacred to Aggieland.

Billy Disch, affectionately known as the old man to his men, and as the gentleman coach to followers of college baseball, does not have to appeal to his men to do their best or sacrifice personal interest for the good of the team. That goes without sa -ing. A team, inspired with his leadership, is always hard to beat. Knowledge of the game and of men which has come only from a life-long experience has been applied to more than one raw recruit with the result that stars have come when needed. Per- fection in details has always been worked for. Heads up baseball has always characterized the pla ' ers from the Longhorn factory. Wide-awake playing, taking advantage of the least slip of the opposition, rising to the best play at critical moments have turned many nip-and-tuck games into victories. And lastly, generalship on the part of the coach has been an ever-important factor in making the great record of the teams. The Longhorn players have worked as a unit at all times. When- ever possible, Coach Disch directs the play. The result is fine team work, and, in the most confusing times when the nine is in tight places, there is a saving grace in the confidence of the men that the old man will get them straightened out and going again.

Disch, ruled over the Southwestern conference as undisputed champions. Then came the twelfth season and the end of the Longhorns ' supremacy. At the opening of the season the Old Man predicted that i mm he would lose the pennant for the first time. He realized the weakness of the Longhorns on the mound and prophesied a cham- pionship for the Baylor Bears. As the season wended its way through the latter days of the schedule, the Texas chances became slimmer and slimmer until the Longhorns were eliminated from the running before the close of the year. As the final games of the yeai approached between Baylor and Texas in Waco the championship rested between S. M. U. and Baylor, with the Longhorns completely out of it. Two great victories for the Bears over the Texas nine gave Coach Bridges ' team the first baseball championship of the Southwest which Texas University did not win during the last twelve years. The Longhorns lost as they had won. They were as great in defeat as they had been in victory for eleven straight years- It was a season of ill-luck for the Orange nine from start to finish. The peculiar phenomenon of the sporting world known as breaks of the game was against the pupils of Uncle Billy at every crucial moment of the scramble for the premier honor of the circuit. Not once during the entire season did the fickle Goddess ot Fortune smile on the ill-fated Texas baseball team. On the opening day of the race, when Texas was beaten 3 to 1 b the Rice Owls in Houston, the Longhorns were doomed to lose their long- coveted keepsake, the baseball championship. Howe er, Texas players were fired to their greatest efforts by the dean of college baseball coaches, William J.

Captain Ferdinand l.eissner and Oscar Kckhardt were the two liest hiirlers on the team McCalla, and O. J. Clements. Toward the close Clements dexeloped into one of the leading pitchers in the con- ference, but he (lid not tind his real ability until it was too late to helji the team evy much. Both Leissner and Kckhardt turned in some wonderfulK ' pitched games, but working both in the outfield and on the mound proved to be too much for them and they were not consistent enough to tow the Texas nine into their twelfth conference title. Texas had possibly the most powerful infield in the conference. It was composed of Carson at first, Odom at second, Kibbie at short, and Smalley at third, the latter two coming up from the Frosh team of the year before. The inner works of the Steers was exceptionally strong, both offensively and defensively. Carson and Kibbie were two of the leading hitters of the entire circuit, and the timeh blows of Odom and Smalley aided the Texas attack considerably. The Longhorn outfield, rebuilt after the loss of Johnson and Dunaway of the 1922 team around Leissner and Eckhardt, one of whom w ' as in the outer garden when the other was on the mound, was weaker than any Texas outfield has been in many campaigns- King, Sledge, and Curtis filled in at the outfield posts alternately. King improved throughout the year, and at the close of the season was one of the best men on the nine. Auler, serving as general utility man at first, second, and in the outfield, did his work well. T1h were aided by Lee Curtis, Kenneth of the race. Eckhardt Leading Pitcher Arthur Allen held down the catching end of the Texas battery during the entire year, and always performed in good fashion. Allen handled the pitchers in a splendid manner. He was a big asset to the team as a hitter, especially in the pinches.

Series Texas crushed the Rice Owls decisively in three of the four games with the feathered tribe, but lost the other by a narrow decision. Opening their conference season in Houston on April 6 and 7, the Longhorns dropped the initial contest of the year to Bob Countryman ' s proteges, 3 to 1. The next day Texas came back strong and walloped the Owls, 12 to 3. The last two games with Rice, in Austin, savored of the slapstick comedy variety. The Long- horns hammered Lamb for 14 hits, and a 1 1-to-l victory in the first contest. In tht- sjc:)nd clash, Melton and Lamb were mauled unmercifully for an 18-to-6 win. Texas played the T. C, U. Horned Frogs only two games during the season, winning both by scores of .5 to 0, and 16 to 6. The Frogs appeared in Austin on April 27 and 2S, with an im- pressive record made in their first year in the conference. In one of the prettiest mound battles that Clark field has seer in many years. Rube Leissner bested Fred Scott in the initial contest. Scott weakened at the close and in the eighth and ninth ; the Longhorns sewed up the game. The second clash was a free-hitting affair, and by virtue of superior slugging the Longhorns came out on top. Carson had a great day at bat, with two home runs, a triple, and a single which fattened the Texas score considerably. Cutting off Aggie Run at Piute Pane 232 McCalla Allen Ai ' lek . M. Texas Aggits, ancient ri ' als, got away to a whirlwind start in 192o. anri a hi ; part of tht- start originated on Clark Field, April 16 and 17, when they took two games from the Longhorns. The first game, played in a driving rain that finally halted the game in the seventh, was a weird affair. The Aggies took the lead at the outset, but Texas scored a couple in the fifth and sixth in- nings. After much slugging and sliding in the mud, the game ended with the Farmers f;hcad 8 to 5. The second game was a pitcher ' s duel between Olsen, for the Farmers, and McCalla and Clements, for Texas. Again the rural ones forged ahead for a 3-to-2 win, in spite of Leissner ' s homer. In Farmerville, the Longhorns battled gamely, hut the best they could do was to get an even break with Coach House ' s nine. After coming from behind to tie a two-run lead, four all, the Steers were beaten, in the first game, when Wilson of A. M. singled in the tenth inning, driving in two runs. Texas gathered 10 hits from Olsen ' s offerings, as compared to 7 the Aggies gleaned from Leissner ' s slants. In the final game, Eckhardt was in great form and held the Aggies nicely while the Steers drove Rogers to shelter and hit Griffin solidly. Kibbie ' s Ruthian wallop in the fourth, with two men on the paths, featured the hitting. An Aggie rally in the ninth fell short, leaving a final count of 7 to 6. Leissner Knocks Homer — A. it M. Game Page 233 i ■ w KiBBIE Curtis Sledge THE Mustangs and Longhorns broke even in their four-game series, each winning two games. In the first two games, staged in Dallas on Ap ril 23 and 24,!the Texas club defeated the Mus- tangs 5 to 2, only to lose the second fray after a close contest, 3 to 2. In the Austin series on May 7 and 8, the two teams split a second time in the same way, Texas winning the first 20 to 6 and dropping the final clash, 6 to 2. Ward ' s hitting, and fielding in the right garden were largely responsible for Texas ' first win, 5 io 2. Eckhardt, on the mound for Texas, allowed eight scattered blows, Matthews gave up only five hits, but they came when hits meant runs. Clements and Runnels staged a pitchers ' battle the following day, but Texas was nosed out for the second by a 3 to 2 score, which meant victory for S. M. U. The first game in Austin wasn ' t even funny. Leissner hit five times safely in the same num- ber of trips to the plate, getting one home run. and Odom duplicated his work at the bat m every respect. The 20 to 6 score indicates the type of game it was, but it was a welcome victor - to Texas. In the final game the Longhorn defense crumpled.

With the championship to gain by beating Texas twice in Waco, the Bears were spurred to great efforts in the closing series of the year. They were not to be denied on their home diamond and won the first canto with a 6 to 2 count. Lyons pitched great ball in his final game in a Bear uniform. Carson ' s home run in the fourth accounted for Texas ' brace of counters. In the last game of the season Baylor made three hits in two innings counting for 5 runs. Clements relieved FIckhardt in the second and held the Bears scoreless the rest of the game. Smallev and Carson hit homers off Freeze ' s delivery.

In games I have witnessed and teams I have coached from coast to coast, I have never seen a team to compare with Captain Robertson ' s undefeated squad of the past season, in demon- strating that consciousness of perfect physical condition will permit putting such pressure on the other team in the pinches that they (the other fellows) will crack and go dow n. Bobby and his crew absorbed an entirely new system of both offense and defense in time to win the early games and go through a twenty-game conference schedule without a defeat against admittedly stronger competition than has been previously furnished in the Southwestern conference. Bobby was a fine leader, inspiring his teammates to the 100th de 2;ree when the threat of the other fellow was greatest, and, as a result, the team took pleasure in its reputation for being the fightingest squad in the conference. When the cracking took place it was the other team that cracked. I will always remember with pride the super-fight he and his men displayed in the second Arkansas game with the score 19 to 8 against them, and again in the second Baylor game at Austin, in order to save the undefeated part of an already successful season. To give the boys full credit for it, it was not superior coaching or knowledge of the game that won those contests, but purely and surely the determination to fight hard enough to win. — E. ].

Varsity Basketb. ll Te.am Page 230 Season of 1924 AN UNDEFEATED season in basketball, almost unheard of except in fiction, twenty con- secutive conference victories, and the Southwestern championship — these are the achieve- ments, in brief, of the team of ' 24. A volume the si7,e of this book could not tell all the story of the squad; its strenuous but brief pre-season work, the tremen- dous obstacles it o ercame, and the many times when it looked as though its great record would be ruined. Magnificent fighting spirit on the part of ihe men, ably directed li ' the wizzard of sportdom, Doc Stewart, did the trick. Early in the season Te.vas was conceded to have fair material, or a little better than average, but the other teams of the conference were all unusually strong. Flvery game was a crisis. The season was over before the amazed student body could rub its eyes and begin to realize that the team of ' 24 was a super-team, and, like the foot- ball team which preceded it in the fall, probably the greatest the conference has ever seen on the court. Certainly, it made the greatest record, and did it in the face of the strongest opposition the Southwest has furnished since the cage game was introduced here. It was well in December before Doc Stewart got down to business with his cagers. A holiday trip through west Texas, in which the squad played a number of amateur teams, indicated that the Orange would have a good team. Then came the first games of the year with Southwestern. The more or less lowly Pirates put up a great scrap, and though Texas took both games, January 9 and 10, one of them went to a 26 to 24 count, too close for comfort, but the Longhorns nosed ahead. That early flash of spirit which saved the team from an unexpected rally by the Pirates was the keynote of the entire season. Whatever fight and comeback necessary to win, seemed to be just what the team had. Always fighting, the Longhorns hardly seemed to have a limit to the effort they could put forth, and in all emergencies, the same comeback which saved the squad before it had any appreciable teamwork perfected, stayed with the team throughout the season. ClRTIS Best Defensive Player SOCTHWESTERN G.WIE Page 240 Season of 1 924 — Qonti?iued Tlu ' uani had a liivat habit of getting behind in the first half, seldom building up a lead before the last five minutes. The team simply set such a iKXce that the opposition was exhausted, and then fought the enemy off his feet in the last few minutes. The early portion of the game was usuallv devoted to very close guarding, and plenty of fast breakmg and rinining. While Te.xas did not score as many points as the Aggies, and few more than other rivals, for the season, the close guarding of Curtis, Foster, and Ragland made the enemy totals more than correspondingK- small. Captain I-(obertson was shifted to forward where his work was of as high order as the pre -ious year, he again won a place on the All-Conference fi e. Ponsford, after a year ' s absence, co- starred with Bobb - on the offense. Settegast might have won an All-Conference place if he had played against George of T. C. U., but the majority of critics favored the latter. However, Sette ' s work at center was probably as good as any in the conference. Nation developed into one of the best centers and forwards in the conference, and Esquivel, a fellow recruit from the freshman fi ' e of the jirevious -ear worked splendidly at forward. This pan- has a brilliant future ahead for the next two years. Joe Ward broke into the ranks of three-letter men by winning his basketball T for his work at guard and center. Another Aggie jinx, which almost ec|uals that of the Kyle field jinx, was busted by the basketball team. Texas beat A. and M. four games, the first time in se ' eral years the Longhorns have been able to sweep e -en fine series from A. and M. The crowning glory of it all came when the Longhorns made the final road trip of the year. They beat the Mustangs on their court two games, though the Texans needed rest, and then proceeded to College Station where they drubbed the Aggies to lower the curtain.

The outstanding series of the season tell the story of each of the other games, with a ' ariation in the margin of victory. Though barely able to nose out Oklahoma A. and M., the Longhorns trounced Rice, and j ourneyed to Waco, January 18 and 19, great favorites over Baylor ' s underrated five. On the first night Baylor went down 19 to 10, in a game featured by the guarding of the Texans. The second night, Baylor led at the end of the first half, 7 to 4, only to give way before the unrelenting attack of the Steers which netted them a 17 to 10 victory. The Bears strengthened their team play in the next few weeks and sent a threatening team to Austin, February 8 and 9. The con entional second-half rally of the Longhorns worked the first night on schedule, and a 22 to 12 -ictor ' was the result. Ba -lor went wild the second night, and led at the half, 13 to 5. When the second period opened, the Bears didn ' t crack as the opposing teams usually did. Something had to be done. The Longhorn rooters began a frenzied appeal for a rally, and the Steers opened up a passing attack at terrific speed that was not to be stopped. Throwing caution to the winds, the Steers kept the ball, and scored several hard fought baskets. By sheer drive the Bears were kept on the defense. Texas just managed to forge ahead as the game closed, after trailing all the way, and added a 27 to 24 -ictory to the growing list of triumphs. Srtte(;. st PONSI ' ORD Curtis Page 142 p ff Foster Ragland Nation S. J C u. FOUR defeats handed the Mustang quintet pro -ed to be a sweet morsel for the Longhorn athletic tooth. The paper championship boasted by S. M. U. in football left it up to the basketball team to settle the dispute for athletic supremacy. When the Mustangs invaded Austin, February 22 and 23, both fives squared off and sparred a bit, showing plainly a wholesome respect for each other. The great guarding of Curtis and Foster for Texas, and Brooks for S. M. U., featured the games. In both games the score was never more than a point or two in favor of either team, until the last few minutes of play. The Mustangs in each game lasted almost to the end, only to give way and allow the scrappmg Longhorns to jump ahead at the finish for 19 to 13 and 15 to 11 victories. Following 30 to 26 and 32 to 21 victories over Arkansas— games that required every ounce of reserve the Longhorns could spare to overcome early leads, Texas went to Dallas the underdog. The terrific pace the Orange five had set was beginning to tell. Onh ' the conscientious training of the men, and bulldog tenacity carried the team through those games. Both were won by sheer fight. Knowing that they were playing mostly on grit, the Longhorns went in fighting hard, and came out with satisfactory 17 to 9 and 29 to 13 victories over the Mustangs. Ragland Foster N ' ation Pane 243 f Wahd Smith (Mgr, . hC. DOWN in Aggieland ' tis thought the Farmers can outfight Longhorns, but witness the 1924 cage series. The Texas five hardly conceded itself an even chance to beat the champion Aggie team when it came to Austin, January 25 and 26. Most fans expected a split. Bertie Foster clamped upon the sensational Gene Darby and that youth was put out of the scoring, Ponsford opened up a bit of whirlwind play which netted a lead for Texas. Aided and abetted by Curtis who ran up to score a long shot time after time, Ponsford continued the good work — result, 27 to 16. Settegast was a terror to the Aggies under the baskets, and especially on the offensive. In the second game A. and M. grabbed a 11 to 2 lead before the men were well warmed up. That was the darkest moment of the year. Settegast went on a rampage, and the Long- horn guards held the Aggies to 5 points for the remaining three-fourths of the game. The super- offense shown against Baylor, against almost hopeless odds, got going and twenty points were forthcoming before the Texas rooters could realize the magnificent fight and comeback their team had shown. The game ended 33 to 22. Then, after a long road trip, playing four man-killing games with S. M. U. and Arkansas, the travel-worn Longhorns journeyed to College Station and outfought, outguarded, outpassed, and outclassed the champions of the year before, while a frenzied cadet corps pleaded for one defeat of the greatest basketball team the Southwest has ever known. The scores: 24 to 14; 17 to 11. ■ Wakd ESQIIVEL Robertson Page 244 TGick Captain Tommy Loop Page 245 Track TRAINING begins months before the time of the event in competition. The athlete must discipline himself as though he were a soldier. The athlete can not train for track without self-control, especially if he is to take the work seriously. This result, self-control, is due to long and arduous discipline and training, and that is what track and field work require. Fine condition is the basis of the successful athlete ' s record. We find in examining history that track is the oldest of sports. It is an international sport today and those who excel can take part in meets all over this country as well as abroad. The large number and variety of events make an opportunity for every type of physique to find a field of competition well adapted to such a physique. Graded down from the national and international fields of competition are the local meets. The number of places which count gives due con- sideration to the second, third and fourth-rate men, the ones just a shade slower than the best. Other than the individual training which track teaches the man, it has no prime factor which makes for success. It is individual, and every man knows the result of his event depends entireh- upon his own training. It places a premium on speed, endurance, form, accuracy, and strength — a combination of physical excellencies rather than any one. Hence track is a sport that develops men for all other sports. Whether the sport calls for a given type of student, or whether the sport produces that type, may be argued, but it is known that most track men stand high in their academic work. — Clyde Littlefield.

The team was not built in a day. Four years ago Coach Littlefield started building up his team. He developed from raw material such men as McNatt and Stinnett during his first year, and during the next three years continued to bring out new stars. Recruits from the freshmen added to the strength of the team each year. In 1923 Coach Littlefield found himself well fortified in every event, with an abundance of fine material in the running events. The creditable record which the team made was forecasted by o erwhelming victories in dual meets against Southwestern, Rice, S. M. U. and Baylor. Flushed with these successes, the Longhorns met the first real test when they invaded the Tiger lair at Baton Rouge. L. S. U. was considered one of the strongest teams in the Southern conference, and the victory brought more than local fame to the Orange squad. The claims of the Longhorns to national attention were substantiated when they swept A. and M. aside and ran wild in the Southwestern conference meet to score 65 2 points, as compared to 38 points for A. and M., the nearest ' rival. Aside from the work of the team in meets, it remained for the squad of 1923 to bring to Texas the first real national recognition ever accorded the Orange in track and field competition. McNatt, Stinnett, Reese and Loop, running in the university medley relay race at Kansas, carried the baton to a first place. On a soggy track these four came within I ' s seconds of the world ' s record for this event, and kicked cinders in the faces of some of the best runners of the East and Middle West. The performance of the relay team and the placing of Stinnett in a special event, the 100- yard dash, at the Kansas Relays, meant much to Texas. John A. Trout Record Holder Tr. ck Squad Page 248 Season of 1 923 — Qontinued Till ' lUTlorniaiuv of the Loiighorns at Law rem i-, Kansas, attracted cor.siderahk ' .itttn- tioii, and in ilations i)()urod in urging entries in other liig national meets. Hue t ) the great distance to these meets, and the arrangement of the schedule for dual meets, Coach Litllefield deemed it adxisahle not t;i send an - of the squad east. However, he began planning schedules in the future which would permit the sending of stars to liig meets for faster competition. McNatt, Reese and Trout entered the national intercollegiate meet at Chicago. Reese had some real hard luck, hut placed fourth in the half-mile race. While the Longhorns amassed their overwhelming victories in scores through the balance of the team rather than individual work, the team was not without its outstanding stars. The team boasted two men who set new conference records and a mile relay team which broke the Southwestern record. Jim Reese, rangy recruit from the fish squad, reigned supreme among the conference half-milers. He made the two laps in 1:56:4 in the Rice meet, but could only get a mark of 1:59 in the conference race. Johnnie Trout improved his own time in the two-mile grind and broke his own record with a time of 10 minutes flat. McNatt, Ritchie, Reese and Titsworth comprised the great relay team which turned in a time of 3:24 for a record. A mention of the stars would not be complete without naming Thames, who did great work in the hurdles and broad jump. His versatility made it possible for him to be high-point man of the team. Dayvault in the weights, Sapp in the hurdles and high jump, Hackler in the dashes and Barmore in the pole vault and high jump, all crowded Thames for his high-point honors. Clement Th. mes ■ High Point Man Medley Relay Team Page 249 McXatt Tits WORTH L f %. TEXAS drew first blood of the season in a clash with Southwestern, which restilted in a lOG to 11 -ictory. But this was not a conference meet, and it was not until the Rice meet, April 7, that the Longhorns established a name for themselves as championship contenders. The Owls got little satisfaction on Clark field that April afternoon. Stancliff of Rice was the only Owl to take a first place, but this youngster, in his first college competition, grabbed off firsts in both the discus and shot-put. Captain Goss was a second for Rice in the 220, and Cole- man repeated in the half, accounting for the 16 points made against Texas. The meet was the occasion for an appropriate performance of the Southwest ' s greatest half- miler of all times in his first conference meet. Jim Reese negotiated the 880 in 1:54:4 to beat the Owl star, Coleman, and established an unofficial record for the Southwest. . side from the four places taken by the Owls, the meet was a clean sweep for Texas. It was, by a small margin, the most overwhelming victory of the year in the conference. When the Orange relay team had romped home to a first place the Texas total was 101 points. McX.VTT B.

There was one triumph of the meet which warmed the hearts of the Longhorns more than the overwhelming score. Clement Thames defeated the Baylor star, Frazier, in the high hurdles, though the latter retaliated by running off with the lows. Frazier. a great hurdler, was predicted to go undefeated in the conference. The weights again proved a weak spot in the team. The Bruins got a first in the discus, and second in the shot put. Texas was saved from losing a first in the high jump by Barmore, who tied Creasy of Baylor. In the other events, the Texas men had little trouble taking both places. Though early in the season, Ritchie and McNatt flashed great form in the quarter. The 440-yard dash had already settled into a weekly struggle for first place between these two, and their time played about 51 seconds with pleasing regularity. Youngblood and Trout were staging a similar duel in the two-mile jaunt. All of their com- petition was a matter of seeing who would get first, and their time was coming down in close proximitj ' to the conference record. Thames Defeats Frazier Page 251 Hawxey Sapp Trout S. ,M. U. TEXAS ' 983 to 18f victory over the Mustangs was a creditable performance, especially con- sidering the fact that four of the leading point winners of the squad were absent from the meet. McNatt, Reese, Stinnett, and Loop were at Lawrence, Kansas, winning the university medley relay race. The rest of the squad ran up a one-sided score, with the result that interest centered chiefly in a few close events. Ritchie and Harris were pitted against Garrett, star of the Mustang squad, in the quarter. Ritchie stepped a great quarter, and Garrett, who tried desperately to stay with him, was hardly able to finish; and Harris pulled from behind to win second after Ritchie crossed the tape for a time of .51 flat. The Mustangs grabbed off first places in the broad jump and discus, due to the eff orts of Lindsey and Brooks. Stinnett ' s absence was felt in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, but Hackler sprinted his way into stardom by beating Lincoln in both races. Stinnett would have made a six-point difference in both scores, had he been on hand, for he had a great day at the Kansas relays. He placed in a special event, the 100-yard dash, running against some of the best talent in the Middle West. The record of the medley relay team shows that he did his share in carrying the Orange to a first place there. H. CKLER Wins Hundred- Yard Dash Pag€ 252 SCUKLOCK ' ■ X ' iCKEKS VOUNGBLOOD S. U. TT TOOK the L. S. U. trip to bring out the fight in the Texas track squad. After a long trip A to Baton Rouge, encountering unusualh- warm weather which had pre -ailed there for some time, the Texas team had an uphill tight. The returning relay team from Kansas hardly had time to limber up for the meet. The weakness of the Texas team in the field events had a telling effect which was o -ercome only by the fight which e -ery man put up for points in his e -ent. Shirley, Tiger jumper, won both the high and broad jumps, and Thornton and Butler made a clean sweep of the javelin and shot put for L. S. U. Young, Tiger captain, vaulted 12 feet for a first. Texas took a lone first place in the field e -ents when Day -ault got in a fine hea ' e with the discus, but the Tigers were on hand to take second there. Hackler and Stinnett won much glory and -ery necessary points when they took both places in the dashes, defeating Helm, one of the best sprinters in the south. Ritchie made the quarter in 51 seconds, for first, with McNatt on his heels. Reese, Loop, Youngblood, and Hawley took care of their races from the quarter up. Hull, x ' eteran Tiger miler, could only get a second when Captain Loop put up his best race of the -ear. The hurdles were an even break. Thames and Moreland in the highs, and Moreland and Sapp in the lows, was the order of finishing. B. RMORE V. ULTING Page 253 McCoKQUODM.E Dayvailt Bahmore Texas . M. AGAIN, the weakness of the team in field events hurt Texas, but the Longhorn runners managed to get a big lead and a GTU to 4914 victory for the Orange was very satisfactory. Tiny Keen won the shot put, discus, and javelin for the Farmers, and when the Aggies took both places in the mile, the outlook was none too good for Texas. However, Thames and Sapp stepped through the hurdle races for a clean sweep to offset the losse? in the weights. The Texas jumpers got in a good day and saved points which usually went against them, and helped to keep ahead of the Aggies. The result of the events were such as to make the meet very exciting, as it was in the last few events of the day that the Longhorn strength was felt most. The Texas team again proved that fight is an important part of a track squad. After a hot, dusty trip on the train lasting all morning, the men were rushed to the field just in time to dress for the meet. The Aggie officials insisted on running off the events on the pre-arranged schedule of time which they had made out, and some of the men in the first events had but meagre time to get warmed up. But with their decisive victory, the Longhorns were, after this meet, conceded to be the coming champions of the conference, barring unusual accidents.

U. 6, and Arkansas — this is the story of the conference meet in points. The Long- horns placed at least one man in every event, two men in most of the events, and took three places in the half mile. In addition to scoring honors, Texas set three new records. Trout broke his own record in the two-mile run for a time of ten minutes flat. Reese stepped the half in 1 :59 for a conference mark, though this was not quite up to his previous work. The undefeated mile relay team strutted in for a record of 3:24. The meet was one of the fastest in the history of the conference. Frazier of Baylor set a record in the low hurdles, and Keen of A. and M. boosted the shot put mark. Barmore, with a tie for first in the high jump and in the pole vault, led Texas in scoiing. He turned in a great day to get these points, which were doped to go against the Longhorns. Gilstrap flashed good form to win the javelin. Stinnett accounted for a first in the 220-yard dash. The overwhelming lead which the Longhorns amassed, brought (he track championship back to Texas for the first time since 1919. With most of the team back, and material of corres- ponding worth on the ineligible squads, prospects of a repetition of this meet next year look of the best ll.M.F-.MlLEKS OFF .

Tennis is educationally valuable; it requires quick and accurate thinking, psychological insight, power of anticipation, qualities of generalship, perfect co-ordination, and ability to exe- cute the orders of the brain. The moral alue of tennis is outstanding, especially if the game is taken seriously. Tennis can not be played successfully without self-control, and in most cases self-control is the result of long and arduous discipline and training such as tennis requires. The universality of the game constitutes one of its greatest values; it is adaptable to all ages of both sexes; begun in childhood it can be developed to the highest degree in college and during immediately succeeding years, and can be kept up with more or less intensity for pleasure and healthful reasons throughout active life. Tennis appeals to the best people and demands the finest type of sportsmanship. With few exceptions the associations are delightful. There is a total absence of professionalism and commercialism. — D. A. Penick.

Varsity Tennis Te. m Page 250 Season of 1925 THE 1923 tennis team made a record that will be hard to maintain and almost impossible to surpass. It made a reputation not only for the team itself, but also for the whole Uni- versity, the whole State, the whole South, and the whole Southwest. Stacy and Broad made tennis history for Texas in the South and Southwest before the war. Granger and Drumwright lacked only two points of capturing the national doubles championship in 1920, after having won the Southern and Southwestern titles in both singles and doubles. In 1921 they won the Southwestern championship in singles and doubles with ease, and with Ben Brown, Klatt, and Lloyd Gregory, won seven dual meets without the loss of a set. They also made a splendid record in the national meet, Drumwright going to the semi-finals in singles and being ranked seventh. Again in 1922 the team made a clean sweep in the South- western conference, only Texas men playing in both finals. Granger and White were fifth in the national doubles ranking, losing to Yale in a close three-set match. It remained for the 1923 team, however, to surpass all these records and place Texas at the head of the National intercollegiate list in the United States, and ninth in the National open list. The crowning glory came when the ace pair, White and Thal- heimer, won the National doubles title in June at Philadelphia. After two weeks of tournament practice on the grass in Pennsyl- vania and Delaware state tournaments, in which White made a wonderful record, they entered the national tournament in rather poor condition. Fortunately both men lost their second round matches in the singles. White because he was tired and stale, and Thalheimer, because he had not struck his gait. The rest helped them. Their last three matches tested their mettle. Frank Ander- son, of the Columbia team, is one of the best players in New York City, in or out of college, and his partner, Emerson, had twice beaten W ' hite in singles. However, by brilliant playing, steadi- ness, and fight, the Texans won in two hard deuce sets. The same day they had to play the hard-hitting Californians, Neer and Davies, champions of the previous year. The Texas men Th.vlheimer Soiiilnvesleni Conference Singles Champion Players in Fall Tournament Page 260 Season of 1923 -Qon ' mtied were e(|ual lo tlie eiiuryenr -, and, after a hard deurc first set, broke the resistance of the cham- pions for a (j-:i second set ictor -— a hne record, not a set lost up to the finals. And they all but went through without the loss of a set, for they had match point five times in the third set, only to lose to the hanl-tigliting sons of h ' .li. l.iicicMi Williams, last year ' s singles champion, and Arnold Jones, last year ' s junior champion. That was a memorable match. Excellent tennis was played b - both teams. Texas was the underdog for two setS ' Yale ' s remarkable fight in the third and fourth sets made her the favorite at that time. By steadiness, physical condition, fight, and sound tennis, the Texans overwhelmed the Bulldogs in the fifth set. The New York Times said, This battle furnished tennis of such sheer magnificence that beside it the final of the singles dwindled into insignificance. Lewis N. White and Louis Thal- heimer, with terrific services and blinding speed on their ground strokes and smashes, at last realized the golden dream of the Lone Star State University by defeating Lucien E. Williams and Arnold W. Jones of Yale at 11-9, 6-3, 9-11, 5-7, 6-1. The New York Herald commented: The doubles final was as brilliant and as gruelling a contest as the intercollegiate championship has furn- ished. Playing rare doubles for collegians, mixing, lob, volley. drive and smash with skill and effectiveness, the Texans dazzled a large gallery. It was a spectacular battle all the way, with beauti- fully sustained rallies, sparkling recoveries, and short range volley- ing duals abounding. Chandler Southwestern Conjerence Doubles Champion with Thalheimer The team was the largest, and, considering the number of men invohed, the best in the history of Texas tennis. No group ever worked harder and the results were commensurate with the work. Each one of the eight letter men was a worthy representative of his school and of Texas ' premier tennis team. — D. A.

Chandler ' Dual zJ Ceets THE Texas tennis team had eight dual meets scheduled for the 1923 season. Two were rained out, one was lost, fi e were won. The first meet was with Oklahoma in Austin and was lost because of the sudden illness of Captain Lewis White. Willis, who was substituted for White at the last minute, played well and with more seasoning would ha ' e won. Thalheimcr defeated the much heralded Ben Parks in a thrilling three-set match and with illis won the first set of the doubles at love, but they lost the next, the match and the meet. The next meet was with Baylor and was won easily, six matches to none, without the loss of a set. White, Thalheimer, Taber and Bell participated. On April 16, Thalheimer, Chandler, Dunlap and Funkhouser went to Rice but only two matches were played because of rain. Coleman of Rice defeated Thalheimer quite easily: 6-2, 6-1. Dunlap, however, won his match against Fitch of Rice: 6-0, 6-1. The second meet with Oklahoma, April 23, was rained out. With White, Thalheimer, Chandler, and Willis, Texas would almost certainly have gotten revenge for the defeat of the first meet. White and Thalheimer went on to the Universities of Illinois and Chicago and won decisive victories at both institutions. A. and M. was next defeated without the loss of a set. HMMMnfiMI r y Backhand Pass Vas.e 262 Willis DUNLAP Thalheimer (Conference zMeet FOUR conference schools with four men each took part in the Conference Meet at A. and M., May 19 and 20. Thev were Texas, A. and M., Baylor and Rice. The only men feared by the Longhorns were Clexeiand of Baylor and Coleman of Rice. Captain While was unable to go to the meet on account of a lame back, and Coleman had defeated Thalheimer 6-2, 6-1 in the dual meet at Houston. To cap the climax, Thalheimer was taken violently ill the night before the semi-final singles match was to be played and slept only four hours. However, he retrieved his impaired reputation bv overwhelming Coleman in the second round, 6-3, 6-2, while Willis was winning in a hard bat ' tle from Cleveland in the same round, 6-4, 6-4. The completeness of ' arsity ' s superioritv in the conference becomes evident with the statement that t)nly Texas men played in the finals of the doubles and in both semi-finals and finals of the singles. Thalheimer and Chandler won the doubles, aided by over-careful playing on the part of Willis and Dunlap, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-3. In the singles semi-finals played later at Austin, Thalheimer defeated Dunlap fairly easily and Chandler won o ' er Willis after a close first set. Thalheimer became the Southwestern cham- pion by defeating his partner in the doubles championship. Chandler. The sets were: 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 9-7. 1 . 1 1 1 1 J ..-4iH 1 Varsity ' s New Concrete Tennis Court Pagr 26} RR Bell FUNKHOUSER WOODHEAD (Mgr.) Tennis Stars From Abroad at )arsity THE best thing that ever happened for Varsity tennis aside from the trips to the National Intercollegiates the last four years for the select few, was the tournament held in Novem- ber, in which national stars participated. B. I. C. Norton, an international star, Samuel Hardy, a former captain of the Davis Cup Team, Robert and Howard Kinsey, ranking singles and doubles players in the United States, Kirk Reid of Cleveland, Ohio, and many Texas Stars were in the competition. The experience of playing with such men was of inestimable value to the varsity players. The visiting players were generous with their playing, their advice to younger players, and their demonstrations of how the game should be played. Of course, the visitors were the out- standing performers, but the locals gave a good account of themselves, especially White and Gillespie Stacy, the former teaming with Stacy instead of Thalheimer, who was ill at the time. This team took a set from Hardy and Norton in the third round but could do no more. Funk- houser and Mather made a good showing against the same team, carrying one set to 9-7 before yielding. The Kinseys reached the finals without serious difficulty and won from Hardy and Norton in three hard sets. The team work of the winners was a revelation, and was the final determining factor in their victory. Only doubles were played in the tournament, but many fine exhibition singles matches were staged with the isitors. B. I. C. Norton in Action i age 264 JjL er CAgiktics - I 4 Coach Roy McLean Page 265 Qross-Qountry THE 1923 cross-country team had a ' great year, overwhelming Texas A. and M. and taking the conference meet. Texas had the best aggregation of long-distance runners the conference has ever seen. With such veterans as Captain Youngblood and Johnnie Trout to build the team around, Coach Roy McLean found at his disposal several new men who proved point winners when the competition started. Jim Reese, the phenom in the half-mile on the track team of the previous spring, tried his luck at cross-country with great success. Sandy Esquivel, a recruit from the ranks of the freshmen, de- -eloped into a fine runner. Coale, a member of the 1922 track squad, was another new man who pro ' ed to be a -aluable asset in cross-country. The team drew first blood at College Station in a dual meet with the Aggies, November 11. Jim Reese romped in for a first, with Esquivel and Youngblood trailing him in the order named, sweeping the three first places. Gillespie of the Aggies finished fourth. Trout came in next for fifth place. Coale finished ninth. These places gave the Eonghorns an overwhelming margin of victory. For the conference meet the Texans were forced to take a trip to Dallas on November 23. The trip had no good effect on the men, but they put up a game fight and managed to come out champions of the Southwest. Gillespie of Te.xas A. and M. won the long grind, after a great race, and Reese of Texas and Royal of Texas A. and M. performed the unusual feat of registering a tie for second in a cross-countr - race. Trout took fourth, just ahead of Davis of Oklahoma A. and M.,who got the next place. Esquivel and Coale accounted for sixth and seventh places respectively, making possible the con- ference victory.

No competition loomed up to gi -e the goal to work to. The Texas Aggies dropped wrestling as a sport, lea ing only the Ok Aggies in the held. The ' ear saw two of the best men at their weight in college circles working out with the Longhorns. Gorman, wrestling at 175 pounds, and Craddock, heavyweight, were the outstanding wrestlers of the conference. Due to the weakness of the Longhorns in the lighter weights, Texas lost to Oklahoma A. and M. in the only meet of the ' ear, when the squad iourne -ed to Stillwater. Ineligibilit ' crippled the 1924 team seriously. Four men, all fine material were tr -ing for the 125-pound class, but none of them were eligible and the match at that weight was forfeited to the Oklahoma Aggies. Frazier, 115-pound grappler, and one of the best in this part of the country, was also ineligible. At Stillwater, Darragh lost the 115-pound match after a game battle, by decision. The 125-pound match was forfeited to Okla- homa. Ford stopped the opposition in the 135-pound class, getting a decision. Llo -d and Ree es, in the 145 and 155-pound classes, respectiveh ' , lost on decisions to the northern grapplers. The Texas inning came next. Gorman got one of his favorite bear-hugs on Reid of Oklahoma, and got a fall in the very nice time of 3 minutes. Captain Craddock did himself proud in the heavyweight competi- tion by pinning Bauman of Oklahoma to the mat in 4 minutes and 10 seconds with a crotch hold. However, these men, handicapped by the losses in the lighter matches, were forced to accept a 11 to 15 defeat. Ck. ddock Prospects are unusually good for 1925 with Frazier, 1 15 pounds. Captain Turner, 125 pounds; Ford, 135 pounds; Campbell, 158 pounds; Mobley, 145 pounds; and John Craddock, 175 pounds; on the squad. Captain Craddock and Gorman have had three years of competition. Ck. ddock ( .OKM. N Ford Page z6y Freshman Football THE freshmen of 1923 won two games by safe margins and lost two games, each loss being to army teams from San Antonio. The frosh downed the Shorthorns 14 to 7 on November 23, to finish a fairlv good season. On Armistice Day, the Ireshmen journeyed to Kerrville where they foiuid Schreiner Institute easy prey, and handed the junior colleg- ians a 32 to 6 drubbing. The loss to the Twenty-third regiment team from San Antonio, 20 to 19, and a 21 to 7 defeat at the hands of the Brooks Field team, also from San Antonio, rounded out the schedule. Littlefield ' s fine coaching was always felt. The game with the Twenty-third Regiment was one of the most exciting gridiron contests Clark Field has seen in some years. The soldiers ran roughshod o -er the freshmen during the first half, scoring all three of their touchdowns in that period, and holding the frosh helpless. A light rain kept the field soggy and the ball slippery at all times. In the last half, the worm turned, and the freshmen fought the visitors off their feet. It was a game comeback. Fighting like hornets, the freshmen managed to push over three touchdowns, but failed to add the necessary extra points after scoring. The lain increased to a downpour in the closing minutes of the affair, a fourth touchdown would have been possible if the field had been dry. The freshman team was a fairly well balanced machine, and more of a team than coaches of first-year aggregations usually turn out. Its effectiveness did not depend to any great extent on stars. However, there were a few outstanding men who deserve mention. Captain Slover at end always turned in a good game. Conner de -cloped into a scrappy center. Wright, at halfback was about the most dangerous man on the team on the offense, and was probably the best all-round man on the squad. Moore at tackle, and Staulter at half were mainstays of the team. Besides these, numerals were awarded to Terrell, Hall, Lewis, Coffee, Penney, Williamson, Tipps, Young, Johnson, Lyles, Waite, Sewell, Hull, Me -erwnrtiz. 7izinia, Rundell, Green and McLemore. ' Stud Wright Halfback Page 2 iH Shorthorn Football THE Shorthorn team of 1923 is the last of a long series of squads that have served niagc material for the Orange teams. Next year there will be no Shorthorn team ineligible iilayers will work with the Longhorns as a unit, being withheld from competi under the conference rulings. During the past fall most of the ineligible players chose to play with the freshmen, and the result was that the freshman squad became a mixture of ineligibles and first year men, to the detriment of the Shorthorn eleven. When the two teams met in their annual clash, it was largely due to the efforts of ineligible transfers on the freshman squad that the latter nosed out the Shorthorns by a margin of one touchdown. Coach Freddie Moore faced as difficult a problem when he took over the Shorthorns as any coach ever has. His material was green, and the best men were used on the freshman squad. The position of quarterback was a particularly hard place to fill, and it was not until the last game that a man tiu-ned up who could hold down the job properly. The squad showed little signs of team work at first, but Coach Moore kept patiently at work with his men. The game scrap his eleven put up against the freshmen, the latter picked to snow the Shorthorns under by a top-heavy score, rebo ' .inds to his credit as a leader and the grit of the light and inexperienced team. The freshmen had things their way the first half. Young made their first touchdown on a buck, and Johnson got loose w ith a pass in the second quarter for another. The half ended 13 to 0. The Shorthorns came back scrapping the last half, opening up a fine forward passing game, and scoring a touchdown on a neat pass, Pratt to Blanton. Pratt, half and quarter; Leissner, half; Blanton, full; Mc- Cullough, lineman, and Captain Hart were the outstanding men who showed piomiseas future varsity material. as scrim- , but the tion only Hart Captain w V 3| n VH 1 1 ■.•ff K m iH i ktr . .- -l lli ' , p 1 H |_ H PjP j . ij ys t ' Hr L ' lH t ' i ■ ■ M HHM H 1 i 1 l fll ' V k I ■ %, H i InllHH WJ U v l v l mm |£B ■m ' ' ' n Hi l ■ B rm L ifl T life: J li 1 Bi 1 i ■ i ' -, jk t K k 1 1 H Shorthorn Football Squad Page 260 Freshman Basketball WITH seven victories and three losses in a hard schedule, the freshman basketball team of 192-1 made a creditable record. Two of the losses were by one-point margms, and the team receixed onlv one decisive defeat. The freshmen retaliated by beating the same team, by an equally decisive score, to even the count. The team was a bit above the a -erage, and always gave the varsity a tough scrap in the scrimmage sessions.

Only nine numerals were awarded, but these all went to men who won their places by overcoming unusually keen competition for places on the team. A ruling during the season which took several men off the squad because they had had some previous experience in college, deprived several men of their numerals. The ruling came from the faculty. Those who received the fresh- man awards were: Staulter, Penney, Moore. Monroe, Reynolds, Rundell, McBride, Hull, and Clinton. In addition to these, Slover and Wright, two of the flashiest men on the team before the transfer ruling cut them off, helped the freshmen to gain their early victories, and will be on hand next year to liven up matters when the varsity is called out. As in footlaall. Coach Littlefield got the maximum effort out of the men and his sterling work as a leader was felt in the work of the team.

Pla ing o er a dozen games the frosh went imdefeated un til the last game of the season, against Austin high, when the southpaw slants of Spot Falk, youngest member of the famous Falk family ol baseball stars, held the Frosh helpless, and they lost their only contest of the year. Other games were played with the T. S. D. Silents, the San Marcos I. oboes, and the Smithville Independents. All of these resulted in easy victories for the freshmen. The leading hurlers of the frosh nine were Barron McCulloch, former Central High (Ft. Worth) pitching sensation, Dad Burnett, from John Tarleton, and Dick Bivins of Amarillo. McCulloch worked most of the games and pitched cleverly in all of them. In the infield, Earl Short, the leading hitter of the team, was on first: Ro - Da is cavorted around second base, Adonis Ffann- kuche pastimed on shortstop, and Howard Stoke held down third base. Captain Roy McKnight played left field on the team, while Alton York played center, and Clyde Pratt, right. Pratt was the second leading hitter of the team, and one of the best outfielders turned out by the frosh in se ' eral season. The catching duties were taken care of by Hustling Charlie Ramsey, the receiver from San Augustine. McKnight Captain Page 27 1 r Freshman Track THE spring of 1923 found the most promising array of freshmen out for track Texas Uni- versity has ever seen. For five or six years, the Texas team had been made up of men who were developed after they entered the university. Most of the men seldom turned in first class work before the last year or so on the squad. But it was all dififerent in 1923. The freshmen had several men who could always be counted on to take points against varsity. No separate Shorthorn team was maintained, and the in- eligible transfers worked out as a unit with the freshmen during the spring. Aubrey Jackson, who captained the ineligibles, was easily the outstanding man of the squad. His work in the high jump and broad jump marked him as a likely breaker of records in those events as soon as he became eligible for competition. He also showed promise as a pole vauUer and dash man. Cowles showed steady improvement in the high jump and equaled Jackson ' s performance in that event during the last few- weeks of the season. The work of the two assured Texas of the best pair of jumpers in the conference for the coming year. Newell in the weights, and Johnson in the pole vault, were two of the most promising men on the squad. Overall, a transfer from Oklahoma lTni ersity, did some neat work in the hurdles during the season. Overa ll was an experienced performer before he came to Texas University, and it was only a matter of his staying in school long enough to get eligible for him to find a regular place on the team. The freshmen and ineligibles found some competition in the pre-season meet with arsity, and later took on nearby teams in practice meets. Austin high school and St. Edwards both tasted defeat at the hands of the coming Longhorns. With such freshmen. Coach l.ittlefield will have less developing to do in rounding out his track teams. .ACBREY J. CKSO.

Intramural athletics are directed In- Berry Whilaker. Basketball proved unusually fast in 1924. The Engineers put a fast team on the floor and sw-ept through an undefeated season. The Lambda Chi Alpha team won the championship of the inter- fraternit - league by defeating the Alpha Tau Omega five 17 to 12, in the final game of the elimination series. The Engineers then w-on the I ' niversity championship by beating the fraternity cham- pions 25 to 16. Intramural football ended in a deadlock. The Engineers eliminated the Pre-Meds 7 to 0, and then put the B. A. ' s out of the running, G to 0. The Laws trounced the Academs 13 to 0. The ancient rivals played a hard-fought game No ' ei-nber 23, but neither Perigrinus nor St. Alec gained any advantage. The affair ended a scoreless tie. The Laws put out a prett - fair baseball team in the spring ; ! 1923. The intramural pitching was hardly up to standard on any of the teams, a fact which worked to the advantage of the Laws. They had a hard-hitting nine, and literally slugged their way to the championship. The Delta Sigma Phi nine won out in the fraternity league. Following are the other champions: Track, Sigma Chi; Swimming, Delta Tau Delta and Pre-Meds; Tennis, Laws and Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Handball, Academs; Horseshoe pitching, Joe Eason .

The game was played in the Dallas Fair stadium. In the semi-finals, Waco eliminated Beaumont, 14 to 7, and Abilene beat Wichita Palls, 2o to These teams were the survivors of an elimination from the champions of 16 districts in which 282 teams took their chance at the title. Oak Cliff High of Dallas, for the second consecutive year, copped the cage honors of the state. A total of SOO teams got in the running, from 32 districts, and, after a bi-district series of games, the survi%ing 16 teams gathered in Austin March 7 and 8. El Paso eliminated Houston in the semi-finals, and Oak Cliff put Wichita Falls out of the running. In a beautifully played game the Dallas five beat the cagers from the far west, 29 to 15, for the 1924 state championship, hi Paso was aiso the runner-up the previous year to Oak Cliff, the former won the first state tournament held in 1921. In track, Electra ' s team, built around Thomas, won the Class A championship. Thomas broke the state record in the quarter mile event for a time of SO ' e seconds. In C lass B, La Grange nosed out Alvin to win the state championship. CocKRELL Wins Hundred (Class B) for Alvin Page 27S 0 Cj VdKS Miss Anna Hiss Page 27g Woman s Athletic Association THE Physical Education department for women, through co-operation with the Woman ' s Athletic Association, has been able to achieve progress in comparison with the growth of the University, and now comprises about 1,500 girls. Physical education is compulsory for all freshman, sophomore and junior girls. Aside from the required work, many girls take extra classes and try out for the recognized sports in order to win points toward the highly valued W. A. A. awards. Miss Anna Hiss, through her energy and executive ability, acting in her capacity as physical director, has been able to instill a splendid spirit in the students. She organized the Woman ' s Athletic Association, and through it materially broadened the scope of co-ed athletics in the University. The work of the department may be classified under four general divisions: Formal floor work, sports, dancing, and indi- vidual or corrective gymnastics. The Woman ' s Athletic Association has developed rapidly from a small nucleus of girls into one of the most vitally active organiza- tions on the campus. Miss Rosalie Biggio, serving as president of the association in 1923-24, has done much to improve its activities, and has been instrumental in doubling the membership during her leadership. She has been assisted by an able council of the following personnel: Rachel Sumners, vice-president; Mildred Taylor, treasurer; Thelma Lockwood, secretary; Lucile Traylor, recording secretary; Xanna Carr, publicity; Gertrude Rath, honorary member; Dorothy Harris, poster manager; Mildred Goff, basketball manager; Lloyd Martin, swimming manager; Werna Hargis, hiking manager; Anne Marshall, dancing manager, Edwina Barnes, cabin manager; Mary Patterson, canoeing manager; Virginia Mantor, tennis manager; and Florence Smith, hockey manager. The instructors are: Misses Josephine Schmid, Susie Fisher, Adele Kimm and Olga Andersen. 1 1 RoSiVLiE Biggio President Top Row — Tr.wlor, Miss Schmid, Miss Hiss, Sumners Bollom Ro-cc — Taylor, Biggio, Lockwood Pagf 2S0 Basketball .C.JC. r. .v..c ..r. HARD training characterized the campaigns of the various basketball learns which went after the co etecl I ' niversity championship. The freshman team came out on top for 19215 and won the cup whicli was donated by Ed Rather, manager of the Co-op Store. The basket- ball season is conducted along lines similar to the inter-collegiate competition. Training rules are laid down, the candidates for the teams must pass at least three courses to compete, and regular practice sessions are held under the direction of instructors assigned to each squad. A substantial award of points toward the awards of the Woman ' s Athletic Association is made to each member of the varsity squad, selected later. Those who believe it is not a real game when the stronger teams go into the final contest have but to view one of these affairs. Intense class rivalry has developed through these games, which are always played before big co-ed galleries from the respective classes. The past season started with a bang and ended the same way. While no intercollegiate competition is attempted, the inter- class schedule is followed by a selection of a varsity team. The outstanding members of the various teams are formed into a machine for the development of still faster play. This combina- tion of the best players never fails to get plenty of opposition. The faculty and corps of instructors boast several members who were the best athletes of their respective schools, and they usually manage to give the varsity team all it cares for in the way of opposition when these teams meet in the final game of the season. The 1923 outcome was no exception to the rule, and the faculty came out victorious. As is the case with the men, strong class rivalry ' results from the freshman-sophomore clashes. Mildred Goff Manager Top Row — Goff, H.vll, Stevenson, M. rtin Bottom Row — Bennett, Johnson, M. thisen Page 2S1 Tennis RANKING high among co-eds as a competitiw sport, and also as one which reaches large numbers of players, is tennis. A continuous round of competition is afforded by the ladder plan now in use by the Racquet Club, which has ' - members. These are the ranking players of the l ' ni -ersity. Aspirants to membership win their way into the charmed circle by challenging and defeating the members, thereby gaining their places. Competition is further encouraged by the awarding of gold and silver racquet designs to the champion of the entire school and to the runner-up, respectively. Harriet Brush showed the way to the co-ed pla ers last year, and won the gold awar d. Virginia Mantor won the silver racquet. These two com- prise the doubles team which showed to best advantage. I ' ra Swann, Dorris Cook, M. Bennett, Ethel Handler and Minifred Anderson were other ranking pla -ers who won their wa - to the top in the competitive play. Recognition of the fine training tennis gives is accorded by permitting a certain amount of play as a substitute for the pre- scribed physical training work. In the spring many prefer this and play regularly throughout that season. The increasing popularity of the sport has necessitated the addition of facilities. The W. A. A. has built two new courts adjoining to the two already in use. but these hardly supply the demand for a place to play. The convenience of these courts makes them accessible for an hour of play the students find they can devote to exercise at any time during the day. With se era l members of the physical education department skilled in the court game, there is no end of good coaching for those who really wish to improve their performance. Tennis more than holds its own as a major sport among the co-eds. The sport is developed as highly as it can be, unless women invade the field of mter- collegiate athletics. % J - Wi KM t d K ) W ' ' IRGIM. M.VXTOR Manager R. CQUET Clch ragel2S2 Hockey an it Field |(% , Ball HOCKKV and field hall are becoming nationally established as two of women ' s most popular ■ lorts, and arc two of the most popular sports offered the co-eds of Texas llniversity. Hockey and ' field ball are comparatively new in the schools of the South, but such interest and enthusiasm ha e been shown in them that it will be onU- a matter of time until they become the leading co-ed sports here as they are in the east. At least, that is the opinion of those who follow the progress of women in athletics. These two sports offer the best out-of-door exercise, and develop teamwork and cooperative play to a point which is inaccessible in most games favored by women. Both require a great deal of running, and speed of movement is absolutely essential. In both games the aim is, as in football, to carry the ball down the field and finally get it through the goal posts of the opposing team. There is a prevalent idea that these sports are a bit too strenu- ous for women, also too rough for even the most arduous co-ed athletes. Like other strenuous games, however, it has been found to be largely a matter of training. When developed properly, the games are usually voted the greatest of sports, and certainly the most exciting. Hockey and field ball, like other competitive co-ed sports, have been developed largely through match games between the girls of the four classes in the University. Plans for next year include a regular schedule of games between the classes on the same scale that co-ed basketball is now conducted. Intramural athletics among the men already include a varied number of games, and the loser at one sport has a chance to come back in another and even the count. The system also makes possible the participation of many more athletes, and carries physical training to a larger group of students. Florence Smith Manager Left to right — Martin, Goff, Smith, Howers, Brush, Sch.midt, Traylor, Odell Page 2S3 ' . Swimming BY FAR the sport of greatest popularity, and the one which reaches most co-ed students is swimming. The warm fall days and early springs of Texas make it possible to carry on this sport the greater part of the school year. Aside from the prize of membership on the swimming team, there is an additional honor of winning a place in the Turtle Club by complying with the tests of ability which that organization requires of its members. Swimming is by no means a dry land sport, although land drill is an essential part of the training. Though the possibilities which the sport has are hedged by lack of proper facilities, namely, an adequate body of water which is accessible to the students, it is, nevertheless, most popular and easily holds its place as a major sport. Swimming is offered the women of the Uni ersity throughout the entire year. Many water lovers take a plunge in the diminutive pool, known in campus parlance as The Tub. This pool is located in the basement of the Woman ' s Building. In the spring months Deep Eddy is the center of attraction for the co-ed swimmers, and there classes are offered for beginners. Those who have a fair knowledge of aquatic sports, and the more advanced swimmers, are itfL ) ' IpPllPl classified and given instruction suited to their ability in the water. K|MB| M| |mI Perhaps the most attractive feature of swimming is the Turtle IIUh BH|| club, an organization of expert swimmers who have passed the ■1 following requirements: Six strokes, two standard aquatic dives, ■ B BBSI B! one trick dive, with an average of eight. Awards are given each Lloyd M. rtin spring on the basis of the high-point system. To the turtle with Manager the best record, a gold turtle is given. Second and third places are awarded silver and bronze turtles, respectively. Tryouts for the varsity team are judged in the following events: Six strokes, three standard aquatic dives, one trick dive, half-mile swim, fifty-foot under water swim. W ' oKLEY Penn M.VRTIX E.

Hue to the cooperation be- tween W . A. A., Miss Anna Hiss, and Miss Susiie Fisher, dancing instructor, a complete studio has been e(]uiiied in which the dancing classes meet. Not only is the studio adequate for the needs of the dancers, but it also otTers a pleasing setting for entertainments that are given through- out the ear. Its floors are hardwood, and its walls are hung with hea ■ ■ gra - draperies. Rose lights with silhouetted dancing figures yffer color relief. The work done by the classes has been largely interpretative, offering opportunity for individual expression. Its aims are to strengthen the body, to give interpretation of music, and to strengthen the mental side of the individual by creative suggestions. The dancing club, organized in 1922 by Miss Mary Washington Ball, is composed of those girls from the classes fulfilling certain requirements in ability and gracefulness. Its membership is limited to thirty-five. This year it was decided to give the club the name, Orchesus, which in Cireek means To Dance. Yearly, (_)rchesus presents for its friends a studio e -ening. A Greek frieze opens the program and is likewise a closing number, unifying into a perfect whole, the solo, duet, and group dances of varied character. Competitive features of dancing activities are necessarily limited to the awarding of honors to those who show the best results of the training. No attempt is made to organize a team or a squad which receives official recognition, but individuals are singled out and placed in one of two groups. The first group receives high honors in dancing, while the second is given honors for its work. The high honors group for the past year was composed of Frances Graham, Rosalie Biggio, LaRee Pfeiffer and Mar - Larkin. . XN iM.

White Sigma Delta Chi was organized for the purpose of bringing together university men of at least Junior standing who are working in the field of Journalism, and who intend to go into that field as a life profession. The scope of the fraternity has recently become international with the entrance of a chapter at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. Last year the Students ' Assembly gave Sigma Delta Chi permission to publish an official comic magazine for the school, but upon the recommendation of the Publications Board, the editor selected by the fraternity was placed in charge of a comic, now known as The Ranger, which was to be published by the Texas Stu- dents Publications corporation. Alumnae chapters of Sigma Delta Chi are to be found in all of the largest cities of the North and the East. The fraternity is rapidly growing and will soon be the social and economic fraternity of the profession at large.

Those students of the law school are eligible for membership who have not only shown themselves companionable, but have manifested ability and industry in legal study. In order that membership in the fraternity may have an essentially honorary basis, a student must have an average grade of 80 per cent. in:all his work in the School of Law prior to his election. Aiming as it does, at a balance between studiousness and personality. Phi Delta Phi occupies a unique position. Page 307 Qhancellors Honorary Law Society Established 1912 OFFICERS Coleman Gay .

The purpose of the organization is to foster the scientific and social advancement of its members, to extend the relations of friend- ship and assistance between the universities of the United States and Canada, and the upbuild- ing of a national college society de -oted to the interests of the pure and applied sciences of geolog -, mining and metallurgy. Chapters now exist at thirteen of the larger universities of the country. The Zeta Chapter was established at the University of Texas April 30, 1920. Members are chosen from advanced students of geology, both scholarship and personality being requisites. Honorary membership is conferred upon successful, practicing geologists in the state of Texas. Sixteen students of geology and the entire faculty of the department compose the chapter at present. Activities of the fraternity include bi-weekly meetings at which scientific papers are presented for discussion, and topics of professional interest are brought to the attention of the members.

The leather-chapped and orange-shirted Cowboys attended every out-of-town football game during the fall term and with the assistance of the Longhorn Band, formed the famous TU formation at each. Responding to a call made by the chairman of the dri e to help raise funds for Varsity ' s new half-million dollar stadium, the Cowboys took an active part in the campaign by serving as an organization to arouse one hundred per cent pep among the students and among the organ- izations on the campus for the stadium.

The purposes of the Club are to supply the campus demand for male quartette and chorus singing, and to give to the people of Texas high-class musical programs worthy of being rendered in the name of the Uni- versity. The members of the Club are selected by a careful process of elimination. The Club makes at least one long tour of the State each year, during which eight or ten concerts are given. During the year 1922-1923 two State tours were made: one during the Christmas holidays to West Texas, and a spring trip to the Rio Grande Valley and Mexico. Several week-end trips are also made each vear to cities near Austin. OFFICERS Louie Dunbar . Bex S.

Its purpose is to meet the need of the University for a women ' s chorus, and to stimulate interest in the better type of music among university students, as well as to give the Austin people at the periodic public concerts high-class musical programs. Membership in the club, which is limited to fifty, is based upon abilit - to sing, and interest in and knowledge of music. Two regular meetings are held each week and two public concerts are given during the school year. Besides the concerts given liy the club in its own name during the past year, a Sunday afternoon program was presented at the Majestic Theatre under the auspices of the Altrusa Club, to a group of Austin business men and club women. The Club also participated in the annual music week during the month of May. The Glee Club was this year added to the list of official campus activities by receiving recog- nition and an appropriation from the Students ' Assembly, the students ' executive body.

The Seniors of the Class of 1916 organized the Kane Klub and gave for its purpose the bringing about of a better spirit of cooperation among the Seniors as a whole. In the school year of 1923- ' 24 the organization was composed of fifty-one men from the two departments. On Tuesday and Friday mornings during the fall and spring terms the Academ Seniors wear wing collars, bow ties, and carry canes. The B. A. Seniors wear four-in-hand ties in place of the bow ties. If the regalia is not worn, the members have a very effective way of punishing the offenders. OFFICERS Ben R. Hammond King of the Kane H.N. B. rkley Knight of the Kane George A. Mueller . . .

The purposes of the organization are to create a closer cooperation, coordina- tion, and fellowship between the faculty and the student body and to acquaint the freshmen girls with the traditions of the school. This year there are about two hundred and fifty active members in the organization, the largest number that has ever been affiliated with the Cap and Gown. The organization is fifteen years old, and sponsors all freshman activities as well as all other worthy activities among the University women. At the first of each year an attempt is made to organize all freshmen girls just entering school. Shortly afterwards initiation is held for all new members. This fall there were about two hundred girls initiated. In November the annual Cap and Gown banquet is held, when plans for the coming year are made. In March of the next term a banquet is given for all faculty women to enable the members of the organization to become better acquainted with the members of the faculty. The following month the Inner Council gives a banquet for the rest of the members of the organization. Towards the close of school initiation is held for some of the Junior girls who will be Seniors the next year. OFFICERS IV.A.THRYN LeMLY Mildred Chambers Thelma Lockwood Virginia Reed .

Dean Taylor, who has been a constant inspiration to the members of the society, alone knows when it was established and he refuses to divulge his secret for fear that someone will learn his age.

They left during the winter term of ' 23 to fill a vaudeville contract with the Orpheum Keith circuit, which carried them to nearly all the large cities in the country. Upon the completion of their vaudeville tour, they had many offers for the summer season, some of which would take them to Canada and abroad. The desire to be in their home state brought them to Galveston, where they played at the Garden of Tokio, one of the South ' s most beautiful dance palaces. When they finished their Tokio con- tract, they came directly to the University to play for dances and parties during rush week. The wandering spirit called them again, and this time they journeyed to California, locating in Los Angeles. They filled many engagements, and were referred to as being the snappiest dance band that ever invaded the west, by the newspapers. While in Los Angeles, they made four double- disc phonograph records which have proved to be very popular throughout the State. Returning to Texas for the Christmas holidays, they played for dances in nearly all the large cities in Texas. We have them with us again, and hope they will stay for some time to come. Critics have proclaimed Jimmie ' s Joys the South ' s best college dance orchestra. Their great success is due mainly to their enthusiastic leader, Jimmie Maloney, who has gathered the best young mu- sicians available. Jimmie plays the clarinet and the saxophone, and is one of the few musicians who play two clarinets simultaneously. As yet, Jimmie is undecided as to where the orchestra will play during the summer, but it is the unanimous wish of all Texas students that some place in Texas will be chosen.

The traditions of the society are the Senior Sing, held every spring for all senior girls, and the loan fund for the purpose of aiding University girls. OFFICERS Ruth Penick K.

Society ASHBEL, the first Girl ' s Literary Society in the University, was organized in January, 1889. It was organized in honor of Dr. Ashbel Smith, President of the first Board of Regents of the University, and a man noted for his interest in women ' s education. New members are elected on a scholastic basis, with special reference to literary ability. The society meets in the Ashbel Room on alternating Wednesdays. Contemporary poetry has been the particular study for this year. OFFICERS Llerena Friend Reba Wright Barbara Eikel Elizabeth Tucker Helen Hart Sarah Penn . . President Vice-President .

The fulfillment of these expectations rest with the future; for the present the members can base their hopes upon the society ' s record for the past session. The Athenaeum supplied four of the eight members of the University debating team for 1924. These men were Joyce Cox, Ed L. Gossett, Campbell Beard, and M. Otis Rogers. Unfortunately on this account, the contests in oratory and extemporaneous speaking, as well as inter-society debates, had not been held at the time of writing: and the success which the Athenaeum hopes to attain in them must go unrecorded. The society ' s own particular contest — that in after-dinner speaking, for which prizes are ofTered by the Honorable Tom Connally, who is an (?x-member of the Athenaeum— was held at the annual banquet, on February 19, 1924. On this occasion Gossett won the first prize, Beard and Mouser tying for the second. Fall Term F. Joyce Cox J. C. Walvoord H. Mewhinney J. M.

Thus, the organization functions in both literary and social acti ities. Fall Term J. E. Cline Travis Baker Cecil Fultox G. A. WVNN Fred Ford David Johnson W. S.

The purposes of the society are to promote helpful and pleasant intercourse among its members, and the establishment of a student loan fund. Membership is based upon stability of character and high scholarship. A program is planned by each group for the scholastic year and a year book is printed.. For the past three years modern literature has been studied- This year the program has consisted of modern plays selected from the best authors of different countries. The loan fund now has about .f2,5()U, and has ciiculated about 4,000, helping approximately seventy-seven girls to remain in the University. Additions to the loan fund are from three sources: membership dues, pledges from senior members, and proceeds from bringmg well-known artists to Austin such as Helen Keller, C ' aedman, Tsianina, Vachel Lindsay, and Maud Miner. Another enjoyable feature of the society is the annual picnic at the close of each year when the new members are initiated. OFFICERS Connie Garz. .

In ordi ' r that those within the club might gain the maximum of practice and development in public speaking the numiier of men who might at an - one time be listed on the rolls as active members was limited to forty- It was further pnnided that students who wished to enter the club should be required to deliver an extempore speech before the members. The applicant is either elected or rejected on the basis of this speech, three negative votes being sufficient to disqualify him. It is one of the traditions of the club that a banquet shall be held every term. For the first two terms ladies may be in- vited as guests, but the banquet during the spring term is strictly a stag affair, and at this ban- quet a p rize is awarded for the best after-dinner speech.

The Club bears the name of Cardinal J. H. Newman- who, according to Dr. Sidney E. Mezes, former president of the University, was the greatest mind England had produced in three centuries. The Club has adopted Cardinal Newman ' s seal as the emblem for the pin, and has chosen for its motto the words on the seal: Cor ad cor loquitor, i. e., Heart speaks to heart. OFFICERS Roger Peters .

It was named after Thomas Jefferson Rusk, famous Texas statesman and jurist, whose character and ideals have been the inspiration of the society since its foundation. It has been the outstanding char- acteristic of the society to be thoroughly democratic, barring no applicant for membership who is recommended by two members of the organization, and who swears to uphold the constitution of Rusk and maintain the dignity of the society. The aim of the society is to teach men to think on their feet; to express themselves clearly and with vigor; to instil in them a spirit of democracy, and to develop them socially. The history of Rusk amply justifies its existence; upon its rolls are the names of many men prominent in history, and active today in the administrative, exec- utive, and judicial service of their state and nation. The society furnishes a large part of the material for the debating teams of the University, and its members are active in all the forms of public speaking on the campus. Saturday night is the traditional meeting night for Rusk; the programs are so arranged that the meetings are adjourned in time to allow the members to meet other social engagements. Officers are elected three times a year — at the end of the fall, winter, and spring terms, respectively. The last meeting of Rusk in the spring term is in the form of a banquet, at which officers are elected for the following fall term, and at which members of the society compete for a prize in after-dinner speaking, given by Morris Sheppard, an ex-president of the society, and at present United States Senator. The principle upon which Rusk exists is found in its motto — Usus magister est optimus. OFFICERS Fall Term H. G. Woodruff Frank B. Clayton h. h. schuenemann C. T.

Its membership is limited to forty, and the re- quirements for entrance are a B average and a speaking knowledge of Spanish. The meetings are held twice a month on Thursday evenings. All business and each program is conducted entirely in Spanish. The programs have as their object the study of the customs, life, and literature of the different Spanish-speaking countries or the study of the life and literary works of Spanish authors, and always contain musical numbers with a Spanish note predominating. La Tertulia gives an annual dance and has the last meeting of the year in the form of a picnic at which the new members are initiated.

Its pur- pose is to bring together all of the students in the academic department who expect to pur- sue the study of law, in order that they may become acquainted, profit by the programs rendered, and get a conception of what is expected of them in the Law School. Prominent lawyers and members of the faculty of the Law School often address this association on matters of professional and academic interest. The members participate in numerous social functions during the scholastic year, a dance being given each term in addition to several banquets. The organiza- tion is represented by a team in each event in intramural athletics. Anyone who expects to study law is eligible for membership provided he is recommended by two members. Although com- parativeh- new in the University, the organization has achieved notable success in promoting fellowship among the prospective lawyers, which is its primary objective. E. A. T. EGEL C.

(Quota- tion from a University Catalogue.) But does it? How much attention is given to Doc Stewart, Billy Disch, the football sched- ule, the movie attraction, the shows, the dances, the best bootleggers, the students themselves, their personalities, parties, petters, partakers, poker-players, pedoggies, politicians, puritans, and pests, the picturesque pageantry of University life? A catalogue ' s incomprehensible digest of the rules, its description of work which is not done, wherein it is useful, what application has it to the students ' real problems, what light does it throw upon the pathway of the newcomer, wherein does it touch college life? We submit for the approval of the faculty and of the student body this revised and illus- trated edition of the University catalogue. We hope that you may see reflected herein certain rosy tints along Pleasure ' s byways, and find a record of certain deviations from the paths of vir- tue, more sportive and hilarious than virtuous, but a blissful relief from the doleful hours spent in the somber regions of shack and shanty where we harken to the full prattle of the erudite. The Old The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a com- munity, are essential to the preservation of a free government. — Sam Houston The Revised The benefits of prohibition and of the Volstead Act generally diffused through a community are responsible for the creation of corn liquor.

OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR The Bugerbear is a prominent church member; the Baptist Standard occupies an ostensibly important place on his office desk. His well-known official smile appears with clock-like precision upon the approach of a student and drops quickly like a cloak as soon as the last word of con- sultation is uttered. He speaks with the air of one of superior knowledge and power. Like a great many people who mouth Christianity, he neglects to apply its fundamental principles in his daily life. He is smug both in appearance and in reality. The girls in his office thumb their noses at him when he leaves the room. Avoid this genial gorilla whenever possible. If you must interview him, state your case, quickly add, Thanks, just the same, close your eyes to the snarl, turn a deaf ear to the growl, control the impulse to attack, and learn the lesson that to seek his counsel is but to waste your time. THE DEANS Herein elsewhere of Dean Butte. In his very office you have learned too much of Dean Parlin. And no student ever knows much about Dean Benedict except that he laughs at himself so much that this is generally presumed to be the proper thing to do. Heh! heh! heh! It should also be known that he is an enemy of intercollegiate athletics, that he hmders our athletic teams whenever possible by over-zealous application and hostile interpretation of rules, and that, had he not been stopped by superior powers, he would have hastily and without a thorough threshing out of the facts involved Texas in an unsavory athletic scandal which no amount of explanation could have entirely cleared away. , , ,• It should also be known that in this his informant and the co-enemy of Texas was the darhng of the Engineers, T. U. himself. And you should also be told that after prominent alumni had practically coerced the Grand Old Man into retracting his position, he spoke at a rally, as you will remember, of a great service which he had done Texas a few days before, leaving the impres- sion that he was the hero in a little secret drama in which the interests of Varsity football had been well served. It is not alone in mystery plays that we worship false heroes.

In the beginning the facilities were necessarily limited, the baseball diamond being rather rough and suits being provided for only twelve men. A few years later, however, basketball and football were added to the curriculum, and the infant educational institution was well on its way toward a fulfillment of the constitution builders ' dream, A university of the first class. Professors were provided as a camouflage for our real activities; but early in the nineties these gentlemen who knew little Latin and less football were relieved of their duties in connec- tion with the more important branches of higher learning, and professional coaches were secured. But it must not be assumed that athletic support and participation have been the only interests of University students; many activities outside of this regular work receive their share of attention. Those interested in Zoologv ' have taken up Buzzarding, an immensely popular course. Popular, too, are courses in Volsteading, prerequisite for the advanced studies. Bailing Out and Alcoholic Dementia. The fact that co-eds have not taken up the higher courses is being investigated by the Psychology Department. The religiously inclined are devoted to the service of the goddess Nek, and a mighty revival swept the campus this spring. The Petting sect became a numerous o ne several years ago, and a special department headed by Miss Newton was installed to give it due prominence. An improvement of recent years is the Honor System, which has done much to reliev-e the long despised e.vamination annoyance. A summary of the principal events of the past forty years shows that Texas has won 19 football victories to A. and M. ' s S, and in baseball we have done even better, lender Stewart the future of the Uni frsit ' looks i ' x bright.

If she had succeeded, imagine the result. The girls would have to buy their own cigarettes, or we might hear Jane, who onh ' smokes Fatimas, saying, Oh!

Sack-Holding Cup For bulldog tenacitv in rushing sewed-up damsels against court-plaster odds, the 1923- ' 24 Sack-Holding Cup is awarded to Mr. Robert Violette, self-advertised as the biggest man in Il- linois University last year. When the gong sounded in September, our champion was off like a rushee trying to get away from the Kappa House after having to mingle with the Sisterhood for a few hours; and at the first turn it looked as if the Ah-oo-wa! Prize ( ah-oo-wa being the call of a female autcmobi ' ist ' s horn to her mate) might rest in the House of Violette. Immediately after his arrival at the Universitv, Robert began demonstrating that he was a member of the Just as Soon Ride as Walk Club, and any girl who had an automobile could get a chance to learn all about Illinois and what a fine place it was when Bob was there. His exploits among the motorists are too numerous to mention in detail, but the plays which made him most prominent in the Sack-Holding Race were the burlap presentations made by Miss Tenie Belle Colbert and Miss Marion Ball. Tenie advised him to seek a warmer climate when he objected to what he regarded as lew-brow competition; but this was a small sack for him, as Teni,. ' s millions were never evidenced by the importation of so much as a Ford. In the Red Ball Race, Violette started like a hurricane, but was a long time in gettting his second wind, and when he did was apparently unaware of the fact that he was a couple of laps behind. All of the judges, including Hon. Red herself, informed the eager contestant of his status; but he had a firm grip on the burlap, and it took some time to convince him that it might not be the tape at the finish line. We take great pleasure in awarding the honors to the brightest star in a brilliant firmament. Honorable mention should be given to Matt Newell in the Smith Race, won by Burton (who said there was wisdcm in women?); to everybody who entered the Lister Free For All; to Chas. Em. Willis in the as yet unfinished Terrell Marathon; and to the Kappas for their rush week per- formance. Fagt 3oS ARE YOU A REAL COLLEGE MAN? He is a freshman at the University.

The first fraternity was composed of Greek restaurant owners, the eating-club idea sur- i ing in the modern Sigma Chis. J.

Kappas Are Made Of Pages 409-414 TOPICS OF THE DAY The Great Jf ' ar Is Still Being Fought The ever-present argument over the right to be considered the University ' s leading so- rority has reached an unprecedented state of intensity, following upon the statement made last Tuesday by Homer Toland, self-styled connoisseur of women, that the Pi Phis have the best claim to the honor. The press of the entire campus has joined in the discussion, and no two views are in accord. Oh, hell! begins an editorial in The Belle Nash Bugle (Pi Phi), why does not the public admit that Pi Phi is the only sorority in the I ' nixersity and stop all this profitless pala er? But evidently the public is not willing to make this admission, even though conceding in large part the claim of the Bartlett Brag (Pi Phi), that the Pi Phis got all of us best girls last rush week. The Heavy Henderson Horn (Independent, but with strong Zeta leanings), takes the posi- tion that the Pi Phis greatly overestimate their strength, and recalls the Pi Phi-K. A. alliance of rush week. To this thrust the Bugle replies that the alliance should not be allowed to reflect upon its favorite sorority, that the com- bination was inspired, not by affection, but In- mutual financial desperation, a joint member- ship drive for the direct purpose of pecuniary advantage to each of the allies. The Bugle continues : Against the claim of our great Sister- hood is its financial plight and the fact that Page 400 the active chapter will probabK- be e.xtinct in another year or two; but why worry over trifles? With only a half-do en init iated members in school at present, the problem of keeping a house has become acute; and with the scholarship requirements cutting down the membership each year it will soon be necessary to call upon alumnae to initiate the few who are lucky enough to make the average. But we have a lot of cute freshmen, and our half- dozen initiated house-warmers took the scholar- ship cup, which kee])s things from looking as des[)erate as they really are. The Pi Phi Zelta (formerly the Rush Week Zeta Zetta) is now thoroughly con -inced that the Zetas are hopelessly inferior to the Pi Phis, but the Smith Smile (PoUyanna Zeta) is unwilling to make any such concession. .. . Sadly broken in spirit and frightfulK deleted in membership, the chapter still contends that its prestige in the days when dad was a barefoot i)oy should now place it at least on a par with the best. The Heavy Henderson Horn ( 1 ntlependent) , takes this sane ' iew of the matter: The Zetas had the best chance during rush week which the - have had in -ears, despite the fact thai they were rushing almost entirely with alumnae; but foul propaganda from the Pi Phi, Theta, and Kappa camps alienated the best of the sorority ' s prospective pledges, only JelK ' P ' rench being landed out of an attractive dozen. m Page 4 ' 0 Willi oiiK Minil ' icil Sinilh, Mar ' I.diiii, and one freshman, the Colorado Street crew can make Init small pretensions to honors at present; but the last rush week proves con- clusiveh- that in a properly regulated war, one free from the atrocities of the recent com- bat, the routed sorores might jiU ' dgc a lew old-time flaming Zetas. The Kappa Kat is just too infuriated for words at the idea of the distinction going to the Pi Phis, and claims that the Kappas are unquestionably entitled to the honor. ' Un- questionably ' ? , says the Lister Lit (Pi Phi), the best, that Home for Aged Cellar Crews? ; and, agrees the Sigma Chi Mob, with that policy of taking all those little sisters, grade makers, and miscellaneous mistakes? The courageous but not always convincing Kappa Kat continues : Why, anybody- can see that good old Kappa is just the best there is. The discerning rushee can see that the Pi Phis are a distinctly frivolous, society-loving type, while we have solid girls like Hardy and many all-round girls like Grace Rogers and many others. That she would be out of place with the fast Pi Phis and that she would be at home and safe with the home-loving Kappas can be seen by the worth- while rushee. Two rushees out of twenty-six were worth-while this year. The Phi Mu Mistake does not care to be considered in the race and is completely satisfied if allowed to lie undisturbed in |)er- petual obscurity. But with a caltyness worth a Kappa this paper remarks: Though out of it ourselves, we cannot but point to the fact that these sorority celebrities have numbered days among us. Take the Pi Phis. Of their pledges last year, Martha Sullivan returned and stayed two weeks. Helen Rulfs, who received very little attention in spite of the propaganda about her beauty, returned to try again, with but little better success. The Kappas returned Grace Rogers, the Zetas Mary Glenn Vick, an accomplishment of dubious value, and the Thetas did not get anyone in the first place. In contrast to the indifferent attitude of the Phi Mu Mistake is that of the Theta Thistle, which is considerably riled over the fact that the controversy should have been made such a public one and taken up by the press, and thinks it unsportsmanlike to discuss the matter this year. The Thistle continues: E veryone knows that the Thetas have never been worse off than they now are, with the scandals of last year ' s hot rocks, the deep ignominy of having a cellar crew of such well known proportions, and the task of making certain freshmen ' remember that above every- thing else you are a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. ' Of course, when Opal told the girls this she did not have in mind that a glance at some Theta members of the last few years left the pledges free to do as impulse and a Rush Week Begins — Dallas News. y ' (i.i;r 41 1 Page 412 lack of discretion niiiiiu (lici.uc. sn that she was not really ,t;uihy ol con- scioush- encourasini; the liberal- iiiinded to contiiuK ' their little |iarties. The Tri Delia Diziic makes no direct claim to the honor of being first among the sororities, Init sidimits that the fact that the Sisters are li ing down, or at least keeping down, the unfortiniate reputation acquired a few years past, and the admitted decline of the Thetas and Zetas should gi e everyone cause to consider the appeal of the Dizzies for admission into the Big Four. Our cellar crew is no larger than that of the Zetas, Thetas, or Kappas: and our societ - belles are as numerous as those of the last named sorority — we ha e Margaret Miller, Queen of the Varsity coquettes. Of course, we have Hazel Edwards to live down, an admittedK ' impossible task; but the Pi Phis have Susan Higgins, the Thetas their Hot Rocks, and the Kappas most of their chapter. We may not be in the swim in the eyes of those who seek to choose the leading sorority, admits the Evening Pet (Chi Omega), but we know our stuff and ' ou can bet that we get the dates and rate with the men. When our house mother called us together and asked us what good ever came of all the petting which was going on around the house, we did not hesitate to tell her that it brought in lots of dates, and we were right. The Alpha Delta Pi Pijfte has not mentioned the controversy, de- voting all of its editorial space to l)ook re iews, and the Home Ladies ' Journal (Kappa Delta) is too much concerned over the problem of get- ting a date to give space to anything else. We know we are good, comments the Alpha Phi Fib. Naturally, the most asinine com- ment was made by Lee. in the Daily Texan (Independent). This paper says, in part: Page 4 ' J Pivirenil ' ini. ' s on llif .flu linsli U ' irk iomc DizrrRt What Happened to Us Zela ill the Raiv Deal Zeta Rushing Anybody in the Kappa Kat The Band Wagon Bogged . ,. , Zeta in the Thela Pi Phi Mud As there are but ten sororities, only nine sororities could be injured by an admission that the Pi Phis are the best. If some other sorority is named as the best, there will still be nine sororities who suffer. It is therefore perfectly clear that complete justice is being done when the Pi Phis are awarded first place. But it appears to the Daily Texan that there is a way of doing more than justice. If two sororities are named for first place, then clearly only eight will be fighting for second honors. If three are chosen for first place, onl - seven will contend for second, etc. We submit, therefore, that the matter should be settled be- having all of the sororities tie for first place. This is clearly the best plan because it gives each sorority the highest honor possible. As the Diaest goes to press an early settle- ment of the dispute seems highly improbable. Topics of Qrief These Topics were written in response to a telegram from the Cactus Editor for a space filler. We feel sure that he would have left the space blank had he known that the nearby chem. lab. has developed a bad case of halitosis. The Zeta theory is that rush week lasts five days and that the proper procedure is to begin the first day and get your Daily Dozen. Better results could be obtained by the Pi Phis if they expended their energies on rush- ing instead of wasting them on a war within the ranks But the alumnae had to have a finger in the pledging pie; and, besides, the Thetas and Delta Taus enjoyed those early morning quarrels immensely. In all fairness, we do not think that the winner of the Bok Peace Prize should be re- quired to try his scheme out among the sorori- ties during rush week. If that annual event becomes much more strenuous, we favor asking Congress for a cash bonus for those who survive. Did you notice how sorry the Kappas were when the dean got through with the Pi Phi freshmen at the end of the winter term? How obser ' ant you must be! And now someone says we are all wrong in thinking the Kappas participated in the anti- Zeta campaign during rush week. Well, there was one reason for affection between them: misery loves company.

Then everyone apparently became afraid that the supply was giving out and made a wild scramble to drink his share before it was too late. Supplies from Canada and Mexico did much to enable the gallant Americans to continue the fight, our corn proving to be a poor substitute for more balanced rations. Tanks played an important part in the com- bat, some fraternities possessing several; and the Russian women who fought in the Great War had nothing on our girls, many of whom have done ' aliant work. During the last year of the war some one asserted that the A. T. O. ' s did not drink; and, after laughing that one olT, the students started popping away with their cork- screws, and soon there were dead soldiers all over town. The treaty of peace was signed with the Austin police every Sunday morning, the indemnity being .S14.80 per man. CAMPUSTRY Supply as much information as you can to the Campus Buzzards, who want to know: How much money Lutzer made on the Blunderbustle. If the Gray family was proud of the fact that both of the boys made the team. Who thinks Lucy Newton earns a salary for what she does. How much Tiel Lister enjoyed having Bob and Bill Murphree both rushing her and having late dates on each other. If Eloise Carr ' s dance floor line still includes remarks about shell pink ears. How Stukie gets drunk on milk. If Cotton Dayvault, Varsity ' s most perfectly built man, ever suggested to Stukie that in- stead of bu -ing the milk he could get it from the cow in the Kappa Sig back yard. If Homer Toland really thinks that H. A. stands for Handsome Animal. If Bess Smith was really taking pictures on Clark Field, or if that was just another publicity stunt devised by the Kappas for weak sisters. How Hardy Adams got that German date this year. Why she wore that costume to the A. T. O. carnival dance. If Mrs. Brush was really shocked when she observed Tom Blanton ' s method of entertaining visitors at the Pi Phi house; and if so, how she could be after all these years. If Percy Cosine Batchelder has bought a new hat since 1917. If the difficulty the Pi Phis are having getting enough girls to live in the house is due to the constant presence of Spivey.

You will find this resolution unbreakable. 2. I will not swear at any professor for missing his class. Learn self-control. 3. I will kiss any girl who wants me to kiss her. As old as man and never been broken. (Red Ball ' s reports on Stookie to the contrary, howe er.) 4. I will not dr ink too much. Might be broken if you lived in Gaheston. 5. I will be dissatisfied with my boarding-house. This resolution has not been broken for years. G. I will not urge my professor to give longer assignments nor w ill I weep because he gives me easy quizzes. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 7. I shall gel behind with m frat bill. You alread - are. 8. When I fail a course I will never tell a prof exactly what I think of him. We dare you to break this one. 9. I will ne er edit a Grind Section.

Facsimile of a note written by Kenneth Hackler to Jane Seiser Page 41 g WORK IN THE CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL Lovelorn Letters Beatrix Fairfacts Did Not Publish Dear Miss Fairfacts, What do you mean by writing me a sermon when I asked for advice? I know all about when to kiss and not to kiss. I ' ve been to Hollins and was a Kappa Delta there and let me tell you right now, even if I do look like a badly made-up splash-me doll, I get by with the boys all right, all right. What I wanted to know was how to choose be- tween Miles Burton and Matt Newell. Mat is so manly, and Miles is (Here the slush became too deep for safe wad- ing). Now, as one little girl to another, shoot me the real dope. Expectantly, Mary Margaret Smith. Do not address — Kappa Delta House Dear Miss Fairfacts, When I wrote to you about how to handle Ned, George, and the others, I do not understand what your answer about not kissing them meant entirely. Do you mean not to kiss them first? Puzzled, TiEL. P. S. : Please remember that this is Leap Year. dear mis Fairfacts, You big boob you have rooned my life and I think you are a fool the one I did not let kiss me goodnite did just what you said he would and told what he thought of me and has left for ever and ever as long as he lives, you are an old made who never had a chanst to be kissed, maybe I will forgive you though for telling me to send the other one home at ten because you did not know he would spend the rest of the evning with korus girls etc. may I add that I think you are a joke and a damfule, respektfully murrel May. Trixy, dear old thing, Of course it is not really your fault that you are such a stickler for not kissing as your parents probably warned you in your childhood that canoes would tip over, but really your ignorance of F. Scott Fitzgerald is profound and you are as out of date on the kissing question as a 1905 almanac. If you really want to serve the girl of today, you ought to run a column of advice on ;o ' ii ' to kiss, instead of dis- seminating all that piffle about why not to. Fraternally, Ruth Hastings. Dear Miss Fairfacts, I got together with Samona like you said for me to, and sure enough old Fred was handing her the same line al- righty. We framed it all up to get him out in his car and ask him what he meant by it, but Samona backed out on me. I was wild to try it, it would have been such fun and I like to joke so. Mittie has made the mistake of falling in love, but Pete always was foolish. You can bet th.it old Repeat finds it a lot more fun to play the part of good-hearted ole Maidce for the public and to encourage half a dozen men on the sly. I have such a good time, don ' t you just love to live? Devotedly, Repeat Pettigoe. My dear Miss Fairfacts, Well, granny, Anna has been quoting your stuff about kissing to mc. Why in hell don ' t ou mind your own busi- ness? I put out six berries for a show, three for a taxi, and five for food— total, U simoleons. I am no sponsor of free love, but consider the amount invested and put a limit on your game. Stung. Lee Cirtis. Paul ' 420 COURSES IN DANCING.

The fundamental principle upon which the Murinites proceed — that night-time often finds you with your K ' ES dull and heavy — is denied by I ' rolessor Hastings, who declares, as you may see by her interlineations, that night-time tiever finds me with wy K ' ES dull and heavy.

Page 421 School of J aw Butte vs. The Four Barleycorn Brothers Hai s Select Cases— $11 to $13 AND ON the fourteenth day preceding Whitsuntide comes one Serpent Smythe and makes representation before the court that he (with his accompHces, one Agister Wilson, a certain Crawlish, and their Heavy friend), having absorbed certain spirits of a vinous or intoxicating nature, upon the day preceding did descend upon the sacred close of our I-ord Peregrinus and did then and there barrel-house the said premises; but, there being no classes, did disturb no one. Butte, H. A. Inasmuch as the defendants, when charged with transportation and possession of liquor in violation of the law, do represent themselves as having a special defense — id est: that they did mix the liquors aforesaid with White Rock W ' ater— it behooves the Court to overrule and we do hereby overrule the said special defense. Furthermore, it is held by the Court that, inasmuch as they have desecrated the little home in which we of the Law School dwell together as brothers in amity and equity doing all things for the common good of our great family, they must make due and suitable atonement. It is there- fore decreed that they do make a public apology to their fellow students whose dwelling-place they have thus misused and that they do, severally and collectively (privatim et seriatim), sign a pledge to abstain from liquor until such time as they shall have passed Civil Procedure (which is to say, for the remainder of their natural lives). And it is further ordered, inasmuch as the Court does not wish to humiliate them by undue publicity, that they do cause this pledge and apology to be printed in the columns of the Daily Texan and its little brother, the Blunderbuslle. They must remember that we here in the valley are all members of one tight little family and that they have disgraced our hearthstone by entering our portals in a state of insobriety. But, in view of the fact that I cannot find it in my heart to inflict any real penalty upon them, they are merely suspended for one week. The additional penalty of probation during the scho- lastic year is not regarded as an ' thing more than a mere formality. Facts greatly condensed. By the Court Fool: Lissun tuh me, koddo, come clean — did yuh ever hear such a wicked line of hokum as this Butte guy handed out to these four lads? Belie e me, if little Georgie Charlie Felix ever does get that Federal judgeship that he keeps a wandering eye upon, he will reinstate the rack and ap- ply it with tears in his eyes. He will transport you to Borneo in the kindest way and have you hanged with a bunch of lilies in your hand. When you approach this guy you want to swing on to your gold filling, and the motto to be observed (to shoot back at him in the tongue he thinks he understands) is Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes, which is to say, The nosegay oft the guillotine doth hide; The onlv safetv is — to stav outside.

Team Stars 1923- ' 24 A complete list as chosen by campus critics. Also, a list of girls you should not trust. Can you pick an H. A. Team? ' Picking teams is the fad of the day; at the end of each sport season everyone from sen- ator to bootblack makes an all-star selection. Your college year has come to a close. Do you know who the offensive stars of the H. A. season have been? Can you name those who have been most offensive? Your team will not be complete if you leave mor e than a half dozen faculty members off. Can you name them all? PICKING A TEAM You have had a great deal of experience in picking H. A. ' s. You do it every day. But you cannot be true to your school if you do not give this matter the most thorough consideration possible. You cannot get the opinion of every individual on the campus by making personal inquiry, but just think how wonderful it would be if you could have the advantage of this collaboration. THE GREAT BOOK In our booklet you have just that. In this directory has been placed the names of every man in the University of Texas who has been named by five or more campus critics as an H. A. DO not depend on your own judgment; look at this list and see what others have to say. Here you will find the faculty and campus favorites; and perhaps some observer has named someone whom you hacf not thought of as material, your best friend, for example. This list is the most complete available, and you may be sure that every man mentioned has been given a place on five or more teams during the past nine months. 0ip Out This LAdvice, Qet the Book and Pick Tour Team In laying down a set of rules for picking a team we are entering new fields, but the most approved methods in the past have been to choose: 1. One man who has bumped you during rush week. 2. Two of your worst personal enemies. 3. Two of your worst political enemies. 4. Each man who has beat you out of a girl. 5. Two men of natural dignity and reserve whom you dislike because they do not slap you on the back as a greet- ing or speak every time they get within a block of you. 6. Two men who excel at something at which you long to excel, and who are therefore undoubtedly conceited and of whom you are envious. 7. Almost any prof., never omitting one who has in- dicated the slightest opposition to athletics. 8. Anyone who does anything differently from the most approved campus method of doing same. 9. Whatever fraternity happens to be in the ascendancy as a butt for campus jibes. 10. Anybody. You will find someone who agrees. SPECIAL FEATURE Alone worth ten times the price of the book is a list of University girls who are willing to make a sap of you. Fifteen minutes a day spent in studying this list will save you the price of many an extra Sunday night meal if you will learn about women from us. BE WARNED BY OUR LOT! Page 424 IF YOU WERE TO Page 425 Skull and ones Qives T icnek FOLLOWING its annual custom, the Skull and Bones Club gave a Picnek this spring which was an even greater success than the club ' s pet party has been in the past. The principal event of the affair was, of course, the wrestling tourna- ment ; and the meet this year was featured by battles which have never been excelled. Superb technique, clever individual holds, spirited and even spiritous combat, and evidences of the most thorough training for the bouts, all combined to make the affair one which will live long in the memories of those present. The pickers and the picked assembled for the Battle of Bull Creek about four in the afternoon, but little of interest occurred before the e ' ening meal was served. A few of the more energetic engaged in a game of indoor baseball as a preliminary workout, and here and there you could see playful little sparring matches which gave promise of better things to come when the serious work of the evening should begin. A band tuned up after the contestants had enjoyed a light repast, and for a while the crowd was entertained by music and by some spirited preliminaries between some of the lightweight wrestlers. The floor of the ring was rather rough, but despite this fact these matches proved popular and were distinguished by the clever footwork of the contestants. Even while the music was playing and the prelims were in progress, a few of the heavyweight principals were warming up in the comers. There was an unfortunate delay due to an interference by the clouds with the lighting effects, but at last all was clear for the big bouts of the evening. There was no referee, and no announcements were made. In most cases private agreements controlled, the Marquis of Queensbury rules being thrown to the winds and catch- as-catch can battles featuring. The National Wrestling Commission has been notified of no protested matches. No attempt will be given to supply the details of the work of even the most dis- tinguished performers.

MANLESS RUSHING Immorality is the morality of those who are having a better time than you are , and it is through the applica- tion of allied principles that Pan-Hellenic seems to operate. Recall how this organization brought about the downfall of Court of Plasters, a high-handed procedure in which sororities and sorority girls who were not represented in the Ribbon Club destroyed the pleasure house of their more fortunate sisters. And now comes Manless Rushing. Some have hailed it as an innovation, but the observant have been quick to point out that the Betas instituted the system some years ago. The action of Pan-Hellenic in this instance was a blow aimed directly at the Pi Phis and was sponsored chiefly by the Kappas, whose small coterie of male Rush-week allies proved that the best they could do was to strike a balance about midway between the asset and liability col- umns. The odds in favor of the Pi Phis in this respect, quantity and quality both being considered , were about ten to one, and honest old Kappa had to bring down the Pan-Hellenic axe ere there occurred such another disaster as that of last September. The Zetas and Thetas proved themselves worthy allies of the arch conspirator. Now that the regulation mania has shown its real strength, we may expsct the following course of events: 1925— Rushees will not be allowed to talk to any girl in any sorority longer than ten minutes. (In the case ot the Kappas this rule should read, Rushees will not hcjortei to talk, etc.). .Automobiles used must be Fords . Rushees shall change all tires . 1926— The rushing season shall consist of a tea given by Miss Lucy Newton and attended by the rushees and the presidents of the sororities. After tea and a lecture by Miss Newton on morality, bids will be distributed. 1927_Station University of Texas broadcasting. Miss Lucy Newton will announce the names of the sororities which desire new members. Send your application for a bid direct to her.

Mr. Nutty entered the University with the required number of entrance credits, and still has ihem. During his entire first year he was a member of the freshman class, and since that time he has distinguished himself in other ways. He is a self-supporting student, except on Saturday nights and gala occasions. He is a member of the Piddle Piddle branch of the student body, is President of tin- I Thinka Can Society, and is engaged to a member of the Newman Club.

Pure poesie and I-Lo e-Me And Tomm ■rot in a row. THIS sweet-scented monthly offering is the official organ of the Purer Poetry League and is responsible for more pure bunk than any two publications upon which we ha e ever turned our lack-lustre orbs. Aside from the cargo of best Gorgonzola that it has put forth this year, it has prmted one good short story and a pair of excellent essays. These last were written by faculty ' members. There have appeared perhaps half a dozen creditable bits of verse. (We wonder how they escaped the editor ' s eagle eye?) And even as we hasten to press there has come out a thoroughlv delightful satire which has, we understand, provoked its victim to hysterical squalls regarding criminal libel. Anent this victim, Mr. Sharpley, just a word. He has perpetrated this year a series of worse than sopho- moric criticisms which he has culled from the incautious remarks of English H professors and the distorted inferences which he has drawn therefrom. We hope that the satire aforesaid will do something toward ironing out the delusions of grandeur from which he evidentlv suffers. The writing of this preachment in verse should secure for Mr. Mewhinney the doubtful honor of next year ' s editorship. Under his editorial hand the Longhorn may undergo a resurrection. None was to be hoped for under the guidance of a board which (as an intelligent person has said) suf- fered from a combination of messianic delusions and the persecution mania. The space at the right is affec- tionately dedicated to Jud James be- cause of the aid which he has been to past Grind Editors as a space filler in the role of Arrow Collar Man. Five cards to his flushes and Four Roses to his cellar! Which reminds us of Patti Sims. the Kappa who thinks that Jud has the most magnetic personality of any man she has ever known. Why, Patti, how untrue to those two men who lo -e you. Do you not remember the note you wrote to Ruth Hastings after the dinner party at the Country Club? . . . . But now I have the sincere love of two men, and it was the thought of one of them which made me refrain. And it was champagne, too, who said love was grand? (Conclusion To all who have entertained us with spicy stories of the doings of campus celebrities, our thanks; and to all who would like to furnish such information in the future, a word of advice. The most approved method of telling a story on your best friend (of course, you can not openh ' betray him) is to approach the Grind Editor and say, You heard all the details about Billie and Willie, didn ' t chu? When the editor admits that he does not know e ' er thing, you can tell the whole story. If the dirty dope is a written document, Tni can send it anonymously through the mail. The telegram from Dallas to the Chi Omegas which we received in this way was en- joyed immensely, but its printing carried with it insinuations which we thought best to omit. If you are inclined to bewail the fact that we have omitted a narration of the leading scandals of the year, just remember that we know more than you think we do and probably have the dope on you too. But we do not believe what we hear; our experience as a listening post and concen- tration point for campus gossip during the past year has convinced us that there are nine and forty ways of reciting scandal ' s lays and that ever - single one of them is wrong. And so, crit- ical ones, forgive us for not relieving the tedium of your existence with a wealth of spicy scandal ; a well-aimed stone might reveal the fact that you li e in a glass house too Pagt 430 The Cjrimi Section Victims Select for the 1924 H. y . Team THE GRIND EDITOR who wrote the copy and planned and assigned the draw- ing of the cartoons and page blocks. BILL MURI ' HREE King of the Carry-oners, whose skilfully executed car- toons more than gave expression to the ideas furnished lor them. HOWARD WILLIAMSON who sketched this likeness of himself from an . rrow Collar ad. and attributed the drawing to Murphree. His untiring efforts with brush and pen did more to put the ideas of this Section over than anything else, and we will admit that he really resembles the picture. DICK BROWN who took your pictures and with scissors, mounting tissue, and tacking iron affixed them where you and nature never meant that they should go. Page 431 ffi a A A ,; B ffl A 7 ; T ort NONE of the crew that sailed the Cactus this year are opposed to admitting that all we had room and time for has been said and done; that our work is ended. Many months of labor have been devoted to pushing as hard as we could in what developed into a handicap race against time. Some of the difficulties we overcame, others we had to evade, but in every instance we steered for the Viest interest of our charge. We often passed from crests of enthusiasm to troughs of despair, barely escaping submergence. But now our task is over and we feel guiltless in enjoying a good night ' s rest. It would require a volume several times the mag- nitude of the Cactus to tell the story of the achievements of any one of the athletic teams or the organizations on the perip. The limitations of time and space must consequently serve as the backbone of our apology for presenting so brief an edition of the history of the past year at school, which has been the most glorious of many that have preceded it. We realized that the infelicities of our diction were grave limits for the stories we wished to entrench in memor ' , so we increased the size and number of the pictures, that they might awaken the reminiscences of happier hours. We know that we have left out commas and inserted periods where there should have been dashes, but many times as we somnolently labored it became necessary to run through the choruses of a few old-time ballads to expel Morpheus from our den. We may have included sharps in some places and feel that we have included many flats in the book. If the punctuation is doubtful, it might be well to hum some tune, a sailor ' s song, and you will soon overlook the offenses. Our task has been pleasant, though it requireda tremendous amount of work and many sacrifices for its completion. We ha ve done our best to construct a good book, representative of every part of the University, and hope that succeeding years will not utterly efface the glorious memories of the one that has just passed. Only the sustaining co-operation of management, printer, engraver, and photographer made possible the produc- tion of this volume in any manner whatever. Every student on the staff worked as conscientiously as though his were the sole interest in the volume. Well, we will never have this chance again, so Cheerio to the Class of ' 24. May the Staff of ' 25 Carry On. — L. .

In addition to the messages contained in the fol- lowing section, there are many humorous sketches by lead- ing artists in the University. 28 This is Your Cactus — Read It !!

Because of its fine texture and uniform quality it takes a high and lasting polish. The elements do not affect its glass-like surface. Opaline Granite is the natural building stone for magnificent structures, and is especially adapted for columns, mausoleums and memorials. Nothing finer is found in the great memorial buildings of modern America or ancient Eygpt. Every Texan can justly be proud of this native stone.

The great educational factors are: The Church — Through its ministers The School — Through its teachers The Newspaper — Through its editors These are not all of the educational mediums, but they are the most unselfish, for the men and women engaged in these pursuits get their greatest reward through service. In a more modest way the telephone is an edu- cational factor, and it is our greatest pleasure to serve adequately. SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE Pa c 4T1 EDUCATION CALVIN COOLIDGE SAYS: The main purpose of all education is to give a larger view of life. Education raises persons above their surroundings and makes them masters of themselves, rather than being merely creatures of circumstance. Every year of your life will cause you to comprehend more fully the importance of your college education — leading, as it does, to every broadening scope of life ' s activities. Your education does not end upon the receipt of a diploma — it is only just begun, and if your viewpoint is sufficiently broad that you are able to grasp the fundamentals necessary to a bigger and better citizenship, then has your education meant to you that for which it was intended. Education is a matter of desire. It cannot be imparted, it must be won.

One, crowded and teeming with human beings, leads to the depths of failure. The other, thinly sprinkled with men and women of courage and ambition, stretches out to the glowing heights of success — to comfort, influence, wealth and independence. Which road will you take? Will you choose the crowded, sunken road that leads to the human scrap-heap, or will you take the clear, open road to success — the road upon which there is plenty of room for YOU — the friendly road, where every one has a happy smile of welcome. ' ' Will you choose that road which is lined with everything that makes life worth living. ' ' Now is the time to decide. Both roads beckon, and remember, you will — you must — take one.

It is something broader than that. It is a desire to show his pride and interest in you and your activities. In this com- munity, where merchant and student are bound together not only by business relations, but by ties of personal friendship, there is something stronger than the old mercenary desire of dollar for dollar returns, that leads the merchant to contribute to your year book. It is the beating of the human heart within — a desire to show in some way that he appreciates you and the University. But in business, as in other walks of life, there are parasites — men who wish to profit by the good-will created by others — those who take everything from society and give nothing back. Your five dollars paid only a little over half of the cost of this book. The advertisers paid a very great part of the re- mainder. There Is No Iron- Clad Law That forces you to patronize the merchants who have made possible the creation of this book, but it is your duty. Your dollar will buy as much from them as elsewhere.
