Vol A AN APPROPRIATE TRIBUTE IS PAID T0 JOBN A. CRAIG His Portrait Will Ha Hang in the Of- fice Which he Occupied as Di- rector for Years A. B. Connor, Acting Director of the Experiment Station has procur- ed for his office a photograph ana beautiful tribute of the late John A. Craig, Director of the Texas Experi ment Station for the years 1903-6. It was presented to him by R. 3. Ogilvie, Secretary and Treasurer of the American Clydesdale Associa- tion, of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Ogilvie has also promised to have Mr. Craigs portrait in oil photographed and pre- sented along with the smaller por- trait and tribute which has already ! been received. The presentation was made on re- quest from Mr. Connor. He wrote fo Mr. Ogilvie asking for his assistance in getting a large photograph of Professor Craig to place in the office of the Director. In answer Mr. Ogilvie replied: “After the death of the lamented John A. Craig, I was asked by an old | associate at the Wisconsin Univer- sity to prepare a tribute on the life and character of Craig that might serve as a guide to his successors and an inspiration to the students in that | school in the years to come. I will send you a copy of my tribute now hanging on the walls of his former class room, with my compliments. If | this should not be exactly what you want for the office of your director I will be pleased to have his portrait in oil photographed and forwarded to you.” The tribute which accompanies thz portrait is as follows: Personal traits and characteristics that made Professor John A. Craig an esteemed citizen, lovable friend, and distinguished educator: In his simplicity, directness and strength he was conspicious. As an instructor, he was a character build- er. In all of his relations with the young men whose educations were entrusted to his charge, he stood for honesty of purpose, industry, and an unimpeachable manhood. There was no short or devious way to success counseled by him; achievement with- out honor was nothing to him. He much preferred to have his boys| leave college at the foot of their | classes if need be, but leave them self respecting men, rather than lead through cunning craft of intrigue. These were cardinal principles with him, and he preached this gospel in and out of the class room, with the zeal of an apostle and the devotion of a martyr. He was distinguished for a chivalrous sense of his obliga- tions to those who sought his coun- sels. He was inoffensive and retiring in his manner ,and never provoked antagonisms, but he was instantly roused into a generous indignation by a wrong committed against a friend, or injuries to the defenseless.

Brown of New York | City, formerly of Nashville, Tenn., | will address the College. He will | also speak at the evening service in Guion Hall. Dr. Brown ranks as one of the strongest speakers to college students in the United States, and his type of work characterizes him as a singu- | larly forceful speaker to present re- | ligious subjects to students. He has | spoken extensively all over the United | States, always with a particular ap- | peal to college students, and is now | closing a series of services in the | various Texas colleges. | His appearance at this time is un- der the auspices of the Inter-Church World Movement for the Y. M. C. A., and his first mission will be to re- | cruit men for Christian leadership | and vocations. | In the interest of these meetings | Sunday, the denominational group meetings in the afternoon will be combined with the mass meeting in Guion Hall. — — WHERE ARE THESE ALUMNI? d— A J.

H | His bosom was full of the joys and | sorrows of those in whom he was in- | terested. He shared all their antici- pations, consoled and sympathized | with them in their disappointments, land exerted his utmost power to re- lieve their misfortune. In turn he but seldom appealed to them for sympathy, and never taxed them for applause. That the memory of his pure life, and exalted character may long abide with us, to give direction to a sound and enduring public opinion is the wish of ; R. B. OGILVIE.

TO HEAR SAMUEL LEWIS THE TENOR The is Com- posed of Four of the Best Known Musical Artists Sam Lewis Company “Mr. Lewis has a voice of such luscious quality that he is able to s'ag any style of music.” The above comment was made by Signor Sacer- dote, Ass’t. Cond. Chicago Grand Opera concerning Sam Lewis who heads the company which appears in Guion Hall Monday night, March 15. “Mr. Lewis’ singing last night equalled anything we had heard on either side of the Atlantic. We will hear great things: of this young Welshman. His singing of the or- atorio numbers in his recital was highly artistic.””—Martin Ferry, O., Times. “A rare privilege it was to hear Samuel Lewis, the tenor, in his in- terpretation of Manrico. The appre- ciation of the audience was mani- fested in no uncertain way. His voice is rich in quality. He sang with feeling, his charming person- ality lending itself to the dramatic part. His phrasing was marked for its excellence.” — Warren Daily Chronicle. Miss Ruth Lavery, violinist, here played Meditation by Massenet, and Souvenir, Drdla, demonstrating that the very complimentary things that have been said of her playing were quite inadequate. There was no hesitancy in her attacks and the manner in which she carried her hearers through these two charming selections was truly remarkable. Miss Lavery, playing Hejre Kati by Hubay and La Paloma by Yadier, won the distinction of the only curtain call of the evening. The crowd seemed to have a belief that their only chance to hear this gifted more selection. She was also the re- cipient of flowers at the close of her encore.— Taylorville, Ill. Miss Irene Harruff, accompanist permanent place in concert work, the third member of the company. Hiss Amber Hopkins, reader, as- | sists in rounding out a most complete and artistic program. She possesses unusual personal attractiveness and high attainments as an entertainer which makes friends for her every- where she goes. I ————— ——— MASONIC NOTICE Called meeting Brazos Union Lodge A.

TO WORLD PEACE The Discussion of the League of Na- tions Makes us Believe We Must Not Live Alone. The “Samuel Gompers” of Japan, Mr. Suzuki, delivered a significant address on “The League of Nations” on board the “Shinyo Maru,” nearing the coast of Japan. The speaker, on his way home from the Peace Con- ference, said in part: “The League of Nations is well il- lustrated here on this ship. Here we are, representatives of many nation- alities. We breathe the same air, eat the same kind of food, sleep on the same boat, and play the same games; and we are living in harmony. The success of the League of Nations will depend on the spirit of friend- ship and good will of the nations com- posing it.” What better definition of the suec- cess of the Missionary League could be had than this—“The friendship and good will of the nations which compose it?” Great Problems are Arising in the Orient. Former U. S. Minister Reinsch wrote: “There have been many great crises in history, but none comparable to the drama which is now being enacted in the Far East, upon the outcome of which depends the welfare not only of a country or of a section of the race, but of mankind.” In this great drama where does North America come in? We must recognize that exhausted Europe can be called upon for only a minor part. We of the Western Hemisphere must shoulder the burden. We must send out hundreds of our choicest men to dig deep into the life of the Oriental world and train up men who shall play the leading roles in that lively theatre bordering on the Pacific where breathe today half the human race. China Looks to the Y for Leaders. The Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation occupies a unique position in religious, so- and educational life of China. There is a constant appeal for more Associations, expert leaders and lar- ger equipment. Officials, business men, educators, students, and work- ing boys participate in its activities and contribute to its maintenance. One distinet contribution of the As- sociation to the new order is its em- phasis upon Chinese leadership. There are now 300 Chinese and 108 foreign secretaries in China. The General Secretary of the National Committee is a Chinese, as is the General Secre- tary of the Shanghi Association, the largest in China, with a staff of 27 secretaries. The East Appeals to the West. The following extracts are from a letter from the principal of a Chinese (Continued on Page 4) to China
