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. He announ
ced that there will be a meeting of
Boy Scout workers at the American
Legion at 7 p. fit. Friday.
Guests; were! J. B. Johnson of
Waep and Henderson Shuffler, di
rector of information and college
publications.
Sid Loveless, president, presided.

Alpha Phi for Exes
j ! ■ I \
Biggest of all A&M clubs, Of
course, Is and was the Exes Asso
ciation. 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.

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. Pic
tures of the band at this period
do not seem so strange—the white
helmets are not too different from
the white helmet-liners noW ih
use.' ! ] )'H ! ' I
The band, incidentally, averaged
from twenty to thirty members
during the days before World War
I.—hardly a tenth of its present
size. , J H ; -'i > ■ : l
