MANY HONORS ACCORDED MULLINS AGGGIE EX AND BAPTIST LEADER (Continued from Page 1) he was reading law, was converted in the meeting conducted by Major Penn. After one year in Dallas he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Ky., as a stu- dent for the ministry, where he grad- uated four years later, in 1885. He then became pastor of the First Baptist Church of Harrodsburg, Ky., where he remained four years, mak- ing a trip to Europe in that time, and broadening his influence in Kentucky and the surrounding States. He was called in 1888 to the Lee Street Baptist Church, in Baltimore, Md., where he remained seven years. He took a strong position of leader- ship in that city and became chairman of a city mission society and corres- pondent to a New York paper, the Examiner, and was elected vice presi- dent of the Home Mission Board, S. B. S., for Maryland. At the end of seven years in Bal- timore he was called to the position of Associate Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board in Richmond Va., where he remained about one year. From that position he was called to the pas- torate of the First Baptist Church of Newton Center, Mass., where he re- mained four years and came in touch with the New England life in many ways, extending his influence in that part of the country. In 1899 he was called to the presidency of the South- ern Baptist Theological Seminary, the largest instiution of its kind in the world. This position he has held since 1899, and is now completing twenty- five years of service. A great many positions of honor have come to Dr. Mullins during his life time. The honorary degree of D. D. has been conferred upon him by several colleges, and the honorary de- gree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Baylor University, in Texas, and Richmond College in Virginia. He was invited to Brown University, Providence, R. I., to receive the de- gree of D. D. some years ago, but sickness prevented his acceptance. Dr. Mullins has published many ser- mons, and some of them have ap- peared in various sets containing col- lections of sermons of the leading preachers of this country and of the world. He was elected president of the Baptist Young People’s Union of America a number of years ago, in which position he served for one year. Three years ago he was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest religious body of its kind in the United States. Its consistency is made up of three and a half million white Southern Bap- tists. . He has served as a member of many national committees of one kind or another. During the war he was di- rector of religious work in Camp Zachary Taylor, at Louisville, Ky., In this capacity he served from the es- tablishment of the camp at the be- ginning of America’s entrance into the war until demobolization was com- pleted—a period of about two years. Many other positions of prominence and honor have been bestowed upon Dr. Mullins. In 1923 he was elected President of the Baptist World Al- liance in Stockholm, Sweden. There were in attendance at this meeting between 2500 and 3000 delegates, cim- ing from between forty and fifty countries of the world. The Baptists of the world number between twelve and fifteen million. Dr. Mullins was unanimously elected by these repre- s ntatives from the British Isles, from Canada, from the Northern part of the United States, from the Southern Baptist Convention, from South America, from Japan, from China, from India, and all European coun- tries. It is the highest honor in the gift of the Baptist denomination. In this position he is to serve five years. Dr. Mullins has been in the educa- tional line of activity during the last quarter of a century. He has produc- ed nine or ten books on great sub- jects connected with religion, and re- ligious thought. Among them are the following: “Why is Christianity True,” “The Christian Religion in its Doctrinal Expression.” “The Axioms of Religion,” “Freedom and Authority in Religion,” “The Life of Christ,” and others. After his election to the presidency of the Baptist World Alliance in Stockholm in 1923, the citizens of Louisville gave Dr. Mullins a banquet and it is unanimously conceded that nothing to equal it had even taken place in the history of Louisville. A committee of representative citizens headed by Judge Robt. W. Bingham, proprietor of the Courier Journal, ar- ranged the banquet. Eight hundred guests sat down to the tables. This group of people represented all class- es and all religious and political groups in the city. The most promi- nent men and women of all walks of life were present. Addresses were de- livered by appointed speakers, con- gratulating the guests of the evening and the city. At the end of the serv- ice a very beautiful silver service was presented to Dr. and Mrs. Mullins, who also was a guest of honor on this occasion, Dr. Mullins is still in the full vigor of his career as an educator and leader and will preside at the approaching session of the Southern Baptist Con- vention. Si ~— stile RL GONZALES GANG AWAKENS TOWN (Continued from Page 1) necessity of support along political lines. Chas. (Dad) Harvin also told of the work the Association is doing in keeping boys in school and the service it is rendering to jobless Exes. The meeting soon reached the stage of revivalism, and most of us had a word of exortation to offer. Finally the old notes were passed and when things had quieted down the gang was on the dotted line one hundred percent. Fourteen Exes raised about eight hun- dred dollars and two of the notes turn- ed in constituted increases on notes previously made. We are going after all of the Exes in the county and make them line up with us. We are look- ing for the Aggie directory that is now being worked up to help us line up some of the men we have over- looked. It was finally decided to reorganize the old club and start out with a fresh sheet. © The following officers were elected: Kent E. Gardieu, president; S. H. Burchard, vice-president; M. S. Spooner, secretary-treasurer. The old constitution and by-laws were readopted. It was decided to elect the remaining members of the Board of Directors at the next meet- ing of the club. The old gang seems to be thoroughly alive to their res- ponsibilities and promise to do large things for the Association and Col- lege. The following Parr was read: Seymour, Texas, April 6, 1924. “Mr. A. H. Fitzgerald, “Gonzales, Texas. “Dear Mr. Fitzgerald: “I am in receipt of your notice of the meeting of A. and M. men to be held there on April 8 and sincerely re- gret that I shall not be present. My legal residence and home is yet in Gonzales and I expect it to be for a number of years to come but my du- ties carry me to many other states. In fact I find it difficult to keep up my acquaintance in that county be- cause of my very short visits there. “I am glad to know of the meeting that is to be held. It is needed for there are ten thousand things before the ex-students of A. and M. College that need the best minds that the school has ever produced in their con- sideration. It is a sweetness beyond expression of mortal tongue for a bunch of the fellows to get together and in memory live over the old days. The question that every man should ask himself is “What am I doing NOW for the old school that has made these wonderful memories possible?’ I dare not touch on the benefits we have re- ceived from it in equipping ourselves for our tasks in life. That is a sub- ject bigger than any man or any body of men. ! “T atended a meeting at the College last fall and at that meeting signed for $200 to the Association. ($40 per years for 5 years). I wish I were financially able to give a thousand times that amount for the cause is worth it. I wish to become affiliated with the organization in Gonzales county and request that the secretary there take up the matter with Mr. Ashburn. It is probable that Brazos county now has the credit for my sub- scription. I trust that you will be able to have this credit transferred to Gon- zales county. You may advise me here of any ass- essment incident to the organization there and I shall be very glad to re- mit at the earliest. “To the fellows you may say for me that I do not consider this organiza- tion as one purely social, but that I do consider it an aggressive business organization whose purpose it is to deal with matters pertinent to OUR institution. It is now within our pro- vince to promote an organization with our money and our brains and through this organization achieve for OUR in- stitution that which is due it. As grateful sons let us gladden the heart of our Mother—A. and M. College. Fraternally, “Virgil V.. Parr.” Those in atendance were: Chas. M. Harvin, ’19, County Agent Gon- zales; Will A.

AGGIES SECOND IN TRACK MEET (Continued from Page 1) ors Mississippi A. and M. won the Southern honors by tremendous odds. It therefore would appear that Tex- as is far stronger than any of the old Southern institutions, And A. and M. was not far behind. In the dual meet the Aggies pushed the Long- horns all of the way. By wining first place in the pole vault in the Conference meet at Aus- tin with the new record height of 12 feet one inch, Captain J, P. McCul- lough of Texas Aggie track team rounded out an enviable career as a college track athlete. This was the twenty-first consecutive time that Mec- Cullough has won first place or tied for first place in the pole vault. He has never been defeated in his event. It is doubtful if any man has gone through his entire college competi- tion without missing a single meet with such consistent success. McCul- lough is without doubt the best all around track man that has ever been on an Aggie team. He usually places in the high jump, broad jump and low hurdles. Captain McCullough will graduate from the College in a few weeks with a high scholastic standing. His pres- ence and influence wil be greatly miss- ed next year. Texas with a score of 67 1-2 points was in the lead in wining the confer- ence meet. A. and M. was second with 35 3-4; Baylor third with 20 1-2; Ar- kansas fourth with 16; Oklahoma A. and M. fifth with 10 1-2; T. C. U. sixth with 7 3-4; Rice seventh with 5 points and S. M. U. last with 2 points, made in the broad jump by finishing third Broad Jump Record. ! Reese, Olympic possibility, for the Longhorns broke his old record in the half mile. Saturday afternoon he ran the half in 1 minute 57.1 seconds. His old record was 1:59. In the broad jump Jackson, Long- horn ace, broke the conference rec- ord with a leap of 22 feet 10 3-4 inches. Robinson of Arkansas, also bettered the old conference record with a jump of 22 feet 9 inches. Musselman of Arkansas won the two mile for a new conference rec- ord. Stancliffe, of Rice bettered “Tiny” Keen’s record in the discus with a heave of 134 feet 9 inches. [". The other new record was made in the high jump by Gaunt of Baylor with a leap of 6 feet one-half of an inch. . Jackson took individual high point honors with two first places and af. second for a total of 13 points. Reese, his teammate, was second with 11 1-4 points. Poth of the Tex- as Aggies, third with 10 points, Jones of Baylor, fourth with 8 points and Ritchie of the Longhorns, fifth with 7 1-4 points. ¥ (All time in tenths of seconds.) Summary of Events.

DALLAS MOTHERS ESTABLISH | FUND WORTHY STUDENTS (Continued from Page 1) but this year it was decided to es- tablish a fund of their own. And although the $100 will be of great help to at least three worthy youngsters the Dallas Mothers do not ® plan to stop with that amount. They | figure, and rightly, that there are a large number of people in Dallas who do not have any direct connection with the institution but who will be inter- ested in helping deserving young men ¢ in the quest of their desire for a col- lege education. The fund will be open to donations from any one. On Tuesday of this week the ladies gave a tea for which a fee of one inch : of measurement was charged. They hit the Secretary of the Association pretty hard. He could not figure at first whether to measure heighth or waist but eventually decided that the height would be the cheapest and sent a check for seventy-five cents. The invitation to this affair is giv- en below: | “The Dallas A. and M. Mothers ar giving a tea, “May the thirteenth, on Tuesday at three, “For a Students’ Loan Fund, our plan is unique, “On this occasion your presence we seek. “We A. and M. Mothers will greet friends one and all; “Those large around and those who are tall; ¢ A penny an inch for circumference or height; “Be very careful your measurements are right. “Your giving this mite should bring you much joy; “For your pennies will mother’s boy.” Mrs. J. S. Burgess, who has two sons at the College is president of the Club. Mrs. S. D. Hanley is secretary treasurer. The tea Tuesday was held at the home of Mrs. F. O. Witchell. John O’Callaghan is president of the Dallas A. and M. Club at the Col- lege. They have more than 100 mem- bers of that club. : On Mothers’ Day the mothers sent down a great amount of good things to eat and the Dallas boys had a won- derful feed that afternoon. These Mothers’ Clubs are proving great or- ganizations and are serving a wonder- ful purpose. More power to them. ————————— HOUSTON AGGIES GIVE HIGH BOYS TRIP TO COLLEGE help some (Continued from Page 1) of A. and M. and who are making good. Andy is a member of the firm of Nagle Witt and Rollins. Wood was here first in ’16 and was back after his service with the Marines for an- other year in College. He offices with his father in the Union National Bank building. Nick Braumiller of football fame, is selling Fords in Houston and doing a good job of it. These men with Frank Litterset, Newt Settegast, M. T. Garrett, Dr. Kyle, Ralph Soape, W. T. Burns, and a few others picked out the men who were to make the trip. Andy says that Woods and Braumiller did most of the work inasmiuch as he was out of town. Local entertainment was furnished by the Houston A. and M. Club at the College. The boys stayed thru Friday, Saturday and returned to Houston Sunday. W. L. Barbour, who was in school until the close of the first term and who will be back next year, brought the high men up here. W. S. Nicholson, major in the cadet corps and “Skinny” Jack Ketterson, another Houston leader, worked up the entertainment features for the boys. Everybody reports a great time. The Houston Club is doing some splendid work. They have under ad- visement now a stunt which if they put it across, and there is no reason why they should not do so, will make the whole state of Texas rub its eyes. J BL SS OD NEW ENTOMOLOGIST REPORTS FOR DUTY Dr. F. L. Thomas, lately connec- ted with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute in entomological work has assumed his duties as chief of the Division of Entomology of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station of the College, succeeding D. M. C. Tanquary who resigned on April 1 to enter commercial bee work. Since his graduation from the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1914 Doctor Thomas has been en- gaged in various phases of entomol- ogical work at the Alabama Poly- technic Institute, mainly in the re- search division. During this time he has specialized in boll weevil con- trol and in general insect control with southern crops. ——————e Cee C. C. Morris, county agent at Sherman sent in a batch of notes lately and asked for more. Morris says that he is going to have a 100 per cent. bunch in Sherman and Grayson county. _- Wn.
