' ' 51 i ! -j # Mrs. Campbell Answers Age-Old Question at Kiwanis Luncheon H|!r r ! s jj j ■ $ ) : H ■ Jj Why is A&M College located “out in the country?” Mrs. C. B. Campbell answered that age-old question at the lunch eon meeting Tuesday of the College Station Kiwanis Club, Mrs. Campbell, principal speaker, said that A&M was located on its present site because Brazos County offered the state largest number of acres— 2,416. - t’ “Then too,’’ there was a railroad here at that time,” she said. The speaker reminisced of the days when she knew them around 1917, and carried the audience back to the days When the college was first opened, in 1876. There were six students then and six faculty members. “It was and is the only time in the history of the college that the college has been adequate ly staffed in numbers,” she said. “David F. Houston was the first teal educator the college had up to 1900.” She said that prior to engaging Dr. Houston thf board had met, fifed the president and the entire faculty. “The college made progress under Dr. Houston.” The Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station was established ,in 1877, the Extension Service estab lished in 1912 and the Forest Ser vice came into being in 1915, Mrs. Campbell said. : “But yop know,” she pondered, “we had a lot of fun in those days. There was time for lots of conver sation. We borrowed a great deal. Vfe shopped for groceries about once a week, th* ice was delivered twice a Week. We had a kind of community gathering on all occas- ions ” : “We didn’t have the well-or ganized athletics as we have now-^ adays. Why I remember Dr.' Campbell had a winning track team. He never ran a race in h>s life,” she said. “A&M has much to He .proud of. It started out with ^HW.OOO—as the value of the institution. Today it is valued at $19,000,000,” she declared. The club donated $52.56 with Which .to purchase shrubbery for the Consolidated High School. A certificate was presented the club as sponsor of Boy Scout Troop 102 by E. L. Bryant, chairmap of the district committee of Boy Scouts of America of the Sam Houston area Council.

Organized in 1889, it was originally called the Alumni Asso ciation. But it was a weak group until 1907, when city chapters were organized. Houston took the lead, creating what Was at first known as the Alpha Phi fraternity (yes, it was!) The name, intended to apply to all ex-A&M clubs, was not well received and the only chapter soon became the Houston A&M Club. As the city clubs be- came strong, the exes association took on its present federated form and became strong Itself. The YMCA chapter at A&M was organized in 1906. EV in 'Spiked Hats The Ross Volunteers, founded during Lawrence Sullivan Ross’ presidency, changed their names during the administration of sev eral presidents, to honor the ; in cumbent, finally becoming p the Houston Rifles during the presi dency of David Franklin Houston. However, W. B. Blzzell suggested that they resume the title of Ross Volunteers permanently. During Sully’s regime, noth the Volunteers and the Band wore tall white helmets with spikes, som*- what similar to those of the Eng lish army in the Boer War.
