The secretary is in receipt of a letter and check from Joe Wessendorf 1878-1879 of Richmond, Texas, pledging his sup- port to the Association. The old school has seen many changes since his time but the aim and purpose is the same and the work of the Asso- ciation is to help the College rea- lize its purposes so of course the old- timers are with the Association. We are very glad to hear from Wessen- dorf. x x % Bernard Bone, C. E. graduate and former instructor in the free-hand drawing department of the College visited the institution last week.

Yeary was referred to as county agent of Kerr county. J. C. Yeary, '15, son of W. B. Yeary, is county agent of that county. Yeary says that there are quite a few A. & M. exes scattered throughout that sec- tion, and that prospects for organ- izing a real live A. & M. Club are good and will be materializing soon. He suggests, that because of the small number up there, that two or three adjoining counties be organ- ized as.one club under the name of the Hill Country Club. * *# Lt. H. R.

That’s because you do not keep up with them, Clark. Join the Association. Think A. & M.; talk A. & M. and you will meet them by the hundreds everywhere you go. % dk & Had a letter from T. A.

That’s all fiction, Fritts, it may have been snowing in Arkansas while you were writing that letter but it wasn’t time to “take ’em off” down here by any means.

George got out of his bed last week and attempted to resume his duties but had to be taken home again. He sent The Aggie a statement recently of the death of Alfred Burges, an old time Aggie. Here’s hoping that George is en- tirely recovered by now. * x » Noah I. Batis, of Sanger, cadet of Co. C Inf., resigned from College recently on account of continued ill- ness following an operation. He is going back to Sanger for a while and then expects to go to a cool climate this summer to recuperate. Before he left old “C” company gang pre- sented him with a splendid fountain pen and gold ever-sharp pencil just as an indication of their affection for and sympathy with him. Same old spirit still exists, you see. *% George S. Dowell, attorney at law, at 107 East Sixth street, Austin, acknowledges receipt of his Aggie calendar and expresses thanks for it. «9 If you know of an A. & M. man who is not ver yactive send us his name and address. If you feel that we do not have the names of some of your friends or their correct ad- dresses send them in so that the di- rectory may show as many correct addresses as possible.

Faber, C. E., county en- gineer for Colorado county with headuarters at Columbus, has writ- ten The Aggie expressing great in- terest in the student loan feature of the Association plan. Bennie says that for the next three years he will repeat what he has done this year as a Rotarian, given $250 a year for stu- dent loans through the Rotary club. He has been permitted to specify that the entire $250 shall be loaned to a boy to enter the A. and M. College. Thus it is that he will carry this youngster through his four years of College life. Just as soon as he can take care of this Rotarian responsibility he wants to get started on a similar plan for the Association fo Former Stu- dents, he says. The College, of course, is getting the benefit of his interest in education now. ; A ed CARROLL GOES TO EUROPE. J. G.

Carroll hopes to be back to the United States in time to come to Col- lege for the commencement meeting of the Association of Former Stu- dents. TR - PA HOUSTON IS ALIVE. Those Dallas Aggies who said that Houston would be a flash in the pan and that they could not keep up the pace they set early in February, did not know their berries, according to C. L. Bering, one of the leaders in the Houston club. Bering visited headquarters last week enroute to Wa- so. The Bayou City Club has got a little scheme brewing which if they put it over will be a tremendous con- tribution to the College and the State. Bering says that interest is grow- ing instead of decreasing in the Hous- ton club. ————————— CHICAGO A. & M. CLUB. (By W. M. Denny) As all good Texans should, we celebrated San Jacinto Day, not by taking a holiday as we wanted to do, but by meeting around the banquet board on Monday evening, April 21, at the Great Northern Hotel. The table was decorated with an A. & M. banner, surrounded by “blue bonnets’ which were imported for the occasion from the Lone Star State. After dinner, bridge and five hundred were in order for the bene- fit of our fair visitors. So that you might see the sort of menu put out by the Great Northern Hotel, I am enclosing one of our programs. Louis H. Powell and his family are expecting to leave for Texas on April 26 for that delayed vacaition, so you may see him in a few days if he can spare the time to stop off at College. Jos Weidel, ’92, is visiting his friends and relatives in San Antonio, Texas. ‘Mike’ McOscor, ’19, and “Tony” Bell, 22, were in Chicago Monday to attend the banquet.
