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.

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.”

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. ¥

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.

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.
