m ' President of the University ' M Walter Marshall Villl m Splawn, Ph. D. To the Graduates of the class of 1926: Change is universal. All about us are evidences that what is differs from what was. People change in appear- ance in attitude, and in ideals. Within a few years after leaving college one finds upon returning to his Alma Mater that ' striking changes have occurred. The campus of an old and long-established university is altered so slightly and so graduallv within the span of a human life that an alumnus in middle life, or even in old age, the last living member of one ' s class, may return to find the old familiar buildings, walks, gates, towers, and amid beloved scenes live again in memory the cherished, happy vears of his undergraduate life. This is not so with a comparatively young and vigorous university like ours. We have not yet put off the awkward, ungainly garb of growing youth, not yet assumed the settled and dignified form of maturity. Our campus is now cluttered up with so many temporary struc- tures that radical and sweeping changes in the near future are inevitable Lgly shacks about which in spite o their ugliness are centered idealistic sentiments of many a Texas youth, will before many years be replaced by beautiful and permanent buildings. This Year Book, the Cactus of 1926 will preserve an accurate picture of the University as the members of the Class of 1926 knew it. It is not only a book of present interest; in the years to come it uill serve as a reminder of the scenes, the friends, the joys, the hopes, the tears of your college days. May the members of the Class of 1926 as they leave the campus to be scattered over the land and become absorbed in the exacting tasks of life, achieve that happiness which comes from service to the state and to huimnity. ' y the improve- ments that are to be made in the physical appearance of your Alma Mater be typical of the improvements that you will effect in the political and social life of our commonwealth.
