College. The entire cadet corps
formed a military escort for the body
in its passage from the residence off
the Campus and the
played the dirge to which the proces-
sion moved. ;
Rev. Father J. B. Gleissner, pastor
of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, Bryan,
officiated at the funeral and paid high
tribute to the character and influence
of Sergeant Kenny during his con-
nection with the College, where he was
universally popular. The presence of
floral tributes attested the love and
esteem in which the departed official
was held in the College community.
Due to a change in plans the body
was interred in the Bryan cemetery,
immediately following the funeral
services at the residence, and while it
was impractical to march the cadet
corps that distance, many friends of
the family accompanied the body to its
last resting place.
Pall bearers for'the occasion were
chosen from among Sergeant Kenny's
most intimate associates in the Mili-
tary department of the College and in-
cluded Sergeants Frank Tyler, John
C. Hyland, J." J. Howard, George
Smart, Lee Barker and Forest J. Cas-

H. B. Parks, entomologist of the Ex-

meeting of the Bell County Beckeep-

Station at Temple. The prospects for
a large honey crop are excellent, Mr.
Parks reports, and the farmers are
anxious to procure more bees.

need.
He pictured the great changes that
had come in the scientific and indus-
trial world but declared it his chief pur-
pose to discuss the new social ideals.
He declared that the modern pilgrim
would not leave his family and home
city as Bunyan’s Pilgrim did but would
stay and work for their betterment.
Reciting the methods by which a
man is measured Dr. Tolman pointed
out that this is accomplished by his
vision of life, by his knowledge, by
the way in which he keeps abreast of
what is going on in the world, by his
patriotism, by his works, by his friend-
ship for others, and finally by his at-
titude toward God. No matter what a
man’s achievement in the world may
be if he has ceased to maintain the
right attitude or relationship toward
God and his fellows, his life is a fail-
ure, the speaker concluded, in an elo-
quent appeal to the students to make
their lives count for the most jin these
two vital connections. |
Mrs J. Webb Howell of Bryan fa-
vored the audience with a beautiful
vocal solo, in which she was accom-
panied by E. P. Arneson.

mundson expresses himself as being
well pleased with the majority of the

tested. He will get a good line on the
ability of his men in the meet nexts
Saturday and the work done then will
largely determine the shaping of the
team to meet the Baylor Bears on the
local track the following Saturday.
