WITCHELL TAKES LEAD. Dallas Architect on Advisory Board Secures Donations for This Gift to College. Investment of $4,000 Represented. A modern type self controlling ele- vator donated to the College by the Otis Elevator Company with acces- sory equipment donated by other manufacturers is being installed in the main academic building in a con- dition to give first class elevator serv- ice to the four floors of the build- ing. The gift was made on the so- licitation of Frank O. Witchell of the architectural firm of Lang-Witchell of Dallas whose interest was aroused on the occasion of recent visits that he has made to the institution while attending meetings of the Engineer- ing Advisory Board of which he is a member. He was chiefly concerned that the students of architecture should be enabled to observe eleva- tor operation at first hand in order to be better able to make specifica- tions for buildings that they may design. Doors to elevator entrances were the gift of the Dahlstrom Metallic Door Company of Jamestown, Penn- sylvania. Hangars and other hardware that will go into the installation of the equipment were donated by Gra- ham and Norton Company of New York. Cork tile for installation of non-slip mats in front of each ele- vator door was supplied without charge by S. W. Nichols of Dallas. The value of the unit composing the gift to the College is approxima- tely $4,000.00. It is complete in every respect, is of standard passen- ger size, the car being five feet square and adequately supplied and installed to give service that would be expected of such a utility in the place that it occupies. Mr. Witchell made the solicitations for the donations personally. Dean Bolton recalled yesterday that the Otis Elevator company has another form of connection with the College. It is in the employment of A. & M. graduates. Some of the A. & M. men have risen to positions of influence in the organization of the great company. Among these are G. H. Hemphill, ’12, who is now superintendent at the Cincinnatti headquarters and F. H. Cunningham, 110 who is manager at Cleveland. D. P. Richardson, a graduate in last year’s class is now in the manufac- turing plant at Yonkers, New York, learning the business through all its departments. This is the second elevator that the Otis Company has donated to the Col- lege. The first was installed in the Electrical Engineering building sev- eral years ago, where it is being op- erated for the instruction of students. It is a smaller car than the new do- nation, but represents a cost of about $1,200.00. AGGIES CELE- BRATED APRIL 21 ROUSING FASHION New York, Washington, Chicago and All Texas Cities Observed San Jacinto Day With Parties San Jacinto Day was surely cele- brated. In Texas in cities, towns and hamlets there were A. & M. parties. In the East, North, and West there were A. & M. gatherings. Every- where Texans and A. & M. men got together repledging their loyalty to the College, to the Association of Former Students and to the A. & M. College. In Washington the A. & M. Exes, met with Captain Reid Wipprecht for a delightful evening of fraterni- zation, dancing, and bridge playing. Major Puryear, brother to Dean Pur- year, Walter Allen, Whittet, and a score of other loyal sons of the College gathered together with their families for the Aggie party. : At New York City President Gie- secke and Secretary Ed Rack had the Manhattan boys together for a cele- bration. Luther McMillan and Fritz Bechert, retiring president and secre- Burmeister, tary, respectively, helped out on the plans for this meeting. The New York Club now meets regularly ev- ery month, most of their meetings be- ing held at the Building Trades Club. Next meeting, May, they will be the guests of Will R. Edrington business man and broker of 342 Madison ave- nue at a complimentary luncheon at the Lotus Club. Incidentally Mr. Edrington has been elected by the New York Club as their delegate to the annual business meeting in June at the College and will make the trip here just for that purpose. Chicago Exes also will send two or three representatives to the annual meeting in June. Louis H. Powell, the president of the A. & M. Club is in Texas now. The Windy City boys had a wonderful April 21 cele- bration. Pope Lancaster, Bill Denny, George Clements, a whole bunch of those fellows are keeping the Aggie spirit high and how those boys hang together. Their headquarters are at Powell’s office in the Railway Ex- change building. Their April 21 meeting was held at the Great North- ern Hotel. Palestine, and Nacogdoches both came to life with real celebrations on that evening and as a result we have two more new clubs in the fold. Tulsa and Northeastern Oklahomans had their party on Saturday night, April 19th, with Parson Church as principal speaker. Fort Worth, Wa- co, Beaumont, in fact nearly all of Texas, which also includes, San An- tonio, Dallas, and Houston, threw par- ties on that day. April 21st has become a fixture in the celebrating days of Aggies every- where and the number of clubs which are observing that holiday will grow by leaps and bounds.

(Cavitt) Love, county engi- neer at Beaumont has accepted ap- pointment recently as commissioner of Boy Scout activities in that city. Love has sent The Aggie a very in- teresting little booklet gotten out by the scoutmasters at Beaumont advis- ing as to the activities of the various troops in that city. This is an exceptionally interest- ing and marvellously helpful piece of work in which Love has entered and one for which A. & M. men are bet- ter qualified than men from any oth- er institution. The provision of scoutmasters and drill masters and the support of Boy Scout work would be a fine objective for our local clubs to follow. ! » WASKOM COAL COMPANY DALLAS, TEXAS Steam, Domestic and Smithing Coal J.
