TO THE CLASS OF 1924.
This year’s graduating class is
leaving behind it a splendid record of
accomplishments. In the first place it
has been one of the outstanding sen-
ior classes of the last ten years. It
has had brilliance and stability and
its loyal College
authorities has at all times been above
question.
This class is leaving the institution
with a “good taste in its mouth” and
with a deeper sense of appreciation of
the loyalty and support and grati-
tude due the institution that any sen-
ion class before has been able to show.
It is the hope of The Aggie that none
of their fine spirit will be lost.
If the Association can render you
any service it is our hope that you
will call. And in the meantime the
best of luck to each and every one of
you is our wish.

When President ‘Polly’ Krueger
was elected to head the Association
for the coming year he urged those
former students present to greatly
increased endeavor in behalf of the
College as well as the Association.
“We need your help and your in-
fluence Mr. Exe just as much as we
need your financial support.
There are men like our new presi-
dent, like Marion Church, E. P. Hun-
ter and others too numerous to men-
tion who think A. and M., talk A.

the time. That is what The Aggie
wants to see.

“STRANGE-TO-SAY”.
It’s strange to say but its true the
last of the Strange boys have grab-
bed off a degree at A. and M.
Thomas Strange was the last of the
three, he being a disciple of chem
engineering.
Mr. and Mrs. Strange were down
to see Tommie get that coveted sheep
skin and were joined by Johnnie who
has done a year of splendid teaching
at Coleman. “Tanlac’ was busy do-
ing the chief pall bearer stunt for a
friend in a wedding in Oklahoma
and could not make the commence-
ment festivities but get here a few
days later. He is thinking of leaving
the teaching field and going into the
architectural game. Tom Millford,
a cousin of these boys is a Junior at
College.

E. K. Gill of Dallas, captain of
the 1924 Aggie basketball squad, and
three-letter man in the session of
1922-23 has accepted a contract with
the Greenville High school to,coach
athletics in the school next year. He
will "assume his coaching duties in
September, succeeding A. B. “Bugs”
Morris, who coached the Greenville
high boys last year. |
Gill has been a valuable man to
the Aggies. Bible has depended upon
him heavily in three branches of
sport. He has won a place as an
Aggie immortal.
lieved that Gill’s injury which kept
him out of the Thanksgiving game
last year was the last straw that
broke the back of the Aggies and
allowed the Longhorns to make their
touchdown on Kyle Field. Gill’s un-
availability for baseball this spring
kept him off the gridiron on Thanks-
giving was another great loss to the
Aggies. If he had been unhamper-
ed by physical disability the Farmers
would have ended the season in a
much higher position than they fin-
ished their 1924 diamond eareer, for
with normal improvement over last
year he would have been one of the
leading conference pitchers.
For his personal conduct and aca-
demic standing he is considered by
the executives of the institution as
one of the highest class students
ever graduated from the institution.
His industry and talent is shown in
his ability to engage in three major
sports and hold his academic grade |.
above “B” which ranks him as a
“distinguished” student.
He is ones of the few ‘three let-
ter” men of the A. and M. College
of Texas, and the only one; at least
of recent years with a scholarship
record in the “distinguished” rank.

CHAS. E FRILEY MADE DEAN OF ONE |
OF TWO NEW
A school of arts and sciences and
a graduate school were created by
the Board of Directors of the A. and
M. College of Texas in their meeting
here this commencement. Dr. Char-
les Puryear, for many years
of the College was made dean of the
new graduate school and Charles E.
Friley, registrar and secretary of the
faculty was made dean of the School
and Sciences. Mr. Friley is a grad-
uate of the A. and M., and has his
M. S. degree from Columbia Univer-
sity. The new school of Arts and
Sciences will be co-ordinate with the
existing schools of agriculture, engi-
neering, veterinary medicine and fvo-
cational teaching. 4

In announcing the action of the |
Board of Directors this afternoon
President W. B. Bizzell said the nec-
Sssily of coodinating the work of
the “service departments” and ex-
tending the scope of undergraduate
instruction demanded the creation
of the new School of Arts and

of agricultural research made neces-
sary the establishment of the Grad-
uate School.
President’s Comment
President Bizzell in cimmenting on
the action of the Board said: “The
College has been offering a number
of graduate courses leading to the
M. S. degree for several years. The
increasing demand for graduate in-
struction in the field of technical ed-
ucation and the underlying sciences
in the field of agricultural research
makes it necessary for this college
to provide adequate courses for the
training of men with the highest
qualifications in the field of techni-
cal education and the fundamental
sciences. It is equally important
for the College to expand its under-
graduate work by giving definite
status to the so-called “service de-
partments” as a means of coordinat-
ing the work of these departments
and extending the scope of under-
graduate instruction in the institu-
tion. The new School of Arts and
Sciences will be coordinate with the
existing schools of Agriculture, En-
gineering, Veterinary Medicine, and
Vocational Teaching.”
