EE “RUSS” WARREN, 18 NEW SECRETARY DENTON CHAMBER When Denton and Denton county needed a new secretary for their wide- awake Chamber of Commerce they picken an Aggie, old G. R. Warren, better known as “Rus”. Warren goes to Denton from Arlington where he was owner and manager of a poultry farm. He has had much experience along agricultural lines starting with his college days when he was a mem- ber of the International Livestock Judging Team, and a distinguished student. In addition to making high marks he worked his way entirely thru school, entering with a borrowed fifty dollar bill and leaving with his hat and an appetite. Since graduation he has had a va- ried experience as Assistant Superin- tendent of the Sonora Experiment Station, manager of the Model Ranch at Sonora, chief of the division of Swine and Dairy Husbandry of the Texas Experiment Station at College, owner and manager of his poultry farm at Arlington and now secretary of one of the best little Chamber of Commerce bodies in the Southwest. Warren will find a hot bed of Ag- gies at Denton. Maybe the success of Dudley Everett as county agent of that county made them want to get as many Aggies around there as they could. BR MANY RESOLUTIONS REFLECT SPIRIT OF AS- SOCIATION MEETING (Continued from Page 1) strenuous endeavor and effective leadership. Division of “University” Endowment Whereas, the Board of Directors of the A. and M. College of Texas have taken vigorous steps to bring about the proper adjustment of the respec- tive rights of the University of Texas and the A. and M. College of Texas in the division of the landed endow- ment of said institutions and all rent- als and mineral royalties therefrom, and Whereas, the Former Students of this Association have repeatedly in- sisted upon a just division and definite understanding in regard to such mat- ters; Therefore, be it resolved that we in’ this our annual meeting highly commend the action of our Board of Directors and renew our pledge to stand vigorously behind them in any action that they have already started and hereafter may see fit to take in protecting the interests of our insti- tution in regard to this matter. The Sears-Roebuck Loan Fund Whereas, Sears-Roebuck through their Agricultural Foundation Fund, established a liberal student loan fund at the A. and M. College for the use and benefit of agricultural students, and, Whereas, such funds have been the means of assisting in the education of worthy farm boys and have brought about a spirit of good will between, not only the A. and M. College itself, this ex-student body, but also the rural people of Texas with Sears-Roe- buck, and Whereas, we have through such work and administration of said fund become acquainted with and have learned to revere the names of H. N. Rubel, manager of Dallas branch of Sears-Roebuck, Mr. Kittle, its presi- dent, and have learned to appreciate more our own beloved “Dad” Short now connected with said Foundation Fund; Therefore, be it resolved that we as an association and also acting for that host of young men benefitted and to be benefitted by said fund, express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for its establishment and use and assure this company and these gentle- men that their contribution will not only aid in the education of many worthy farm boys but will, through that education, greatly help in the de- velopment of the entire state of Texas and especially bring to the rural dis- tricts great happiness, prosperity and contentment. : 50 Years of A. and M. Whereas, the Agricultural and Me- chanical College of Texas is rounding out its fiftieth year of service to the State of Texas, and the Nation as well, and Whereas, in those years it has ren- dered service in terms of agricultural leadership, research and development and served a like purpose in field of science, engineering, and industry, and Whereas, its graduates are today found by the hundreds in places of exceptional usefulness all over the world, and Whereas, the College has returned a hundredfold in terms of constructive effort and leadership every dollar in- vested in it by the State and National governments; Therefore, be it resolved that we, the Former Students of the institu- tion, call upon the men of our own ranks to rededicate themselves in un- selfish devotion to their College and its service and be it further resolved that we urge the Governor and the Legislature to make the necessary in- creases in appropriations for the ade- quate maintenance of the College, thus insuring the unimpaired growth and conduct of the institution. Commending President Walton Whereas, T. O. Walton became president of the A. and M. College during a very critical time in its ex- istence, and Whereas, as our new President en- tered into the many complex and dif- ficult problems with vigor and ca- pacity and has met the tests placed upon him and has guided the College through a most successful and satis- factory year; Therefore, be it resolved that we congratulate President Walton upon his initial success and convey to him our confidence and best wishes and further, that we assure him that our organization is ready, willing and anxious to be of assistance to him whenever he may find it possible to use it. Commandant Praised Whereas, Lieutenant Colonel F. H. Turner, U. S. A., during his first year of administration as Commandant has brought about discipline on a greatly improved plan and has handled prob- lems confronting him so as to elimi- nate dissention and trouble of any sort among the Corps of Cadets, and Whereas, the Former Students are vitally interested in and endorse a thorough and real military regulation on the campus and appreciate an in- telligent, tactful and vigorous en- deavor to bring such conditions; Therefore, be it resolved that this association congratulates Colonel Tur- ner upon his splendid record and tact- ful enforcement of discipline at the A. and M. College. Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration Whereas, the Board of Directors of the College have authorized the cel- ebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas on October 15, 16, and 17, 1926, and Whereas, we feel that such a cele- bration will mean much for the good of the institution; now Be it resolved that we urge all ex- students to cooperate thoroughly in the entire matter of the observance and be it resolved further that we urge the Committee having this Semi- Centennial celebration under their di- rection to prepare a suitable histor- ical museum to feature this event, the museum to include pictures, publica- ‘tions, uniforms and such other articles as will give a picture of the develop- ment of the College and be it further resolved that the College is urged to thereafter properly develop and main- tain this museum. Memorial Resolution Whereas, ten of our members have answered the final call during the last year and all of these sons are held in the highest esteem and affec- tion and their losses are keenly felt and we are humble in their memories and it is the sense of this Association that some proper tribute be made to show our deep affection for them and our knowledge of our great loss by reason of their decease; Be it resolved that the Association stand in silence while the Secretary calls the roll of our departed brothers and to remain standing thered ter until taps has been sounded; Be it further resolved that this As- sociation tender to the bereaved fam- ilies our “heartfelt feelings of sym- pathy and that we mourn with them in common the loss that they have sus- tained. Mothers’ Clubs Whereas, the Mothers of A. and M. students have ever been their main inspiration and guidance, and Whereas, the clubs formed by these Mothers have been and are an especial help and benefit to this Association and are destined to become a more in- fluential factor for good as they in- crease in number, therefore be it Resolved, by this Association, that we express to each mother of an A. & M. man to each “Mothers’ Club” our felicitations and greetings and en- couragements with the hope that they may progress in their club work and continue to exert over the lives of all A. and M. men, wherever located, that influence for good such as only a mother can; Be it further resolved that this As- sociation offers its every service to said Mothers’ Clubs it may be called upon to render and this Association does hereby call upon the local clubs of ex- students and all other ex-students to give every assistance to these worthy and helpful organizations. P. S. Tilson Whereas, God in His infinite wis- dom has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved friend and fellow member of the Association, P. S. Til- son, ’88, and Whereas, his family has lost a lov- ing member and the Association an ever zealous and efficient worker; Therefore, be it resolved by the As- sociation of Former Students of the A. and M. College of Texas, that we extend to the bereaved family our deepest heartfelt sympathy in this their sad hour of grief, and be it fur- ther resolved that a copy of this reso- lution be sent to the family of our de- ceased fellow-member and a copy spread on the minutes of the Associa- tion and that another copy be pub- lished in THE TEXAS AGGIE.

Caldwell, who specialized in animal husbandry and graduated at A. and M. in 1921, recently announced for county commissioner, and was so popular with his constituents that the incumbent has alreday resigned in Joe’s favor. Joe is a successful farm- er and rancher. He has a fine herd of Herefords, but also grows cotton and feed stuffs on the cheap but fertile lands of Midland county. Last year Joe sold about $30 worth of cotton per acre off $15 an acre land. BR .—————— D. A. Adam, ’25, is with the Farm Bureau Association in Dallas as is R. C. Soxman of the baby class of 26. (LE A AEE EEE EEE ESE EER, : SPORT FODDER : Pohohh hhh hb bh bbb bh dd Aggie football fans will be delight- ed to know that Joel Hunt, sterling little all-conference half-back of last year, is back in school and working hard to become eligible for football this fall. He is getting in an hour’s practice in punting every day or so and may solve the kicking problem that has been worrying Dana Bible. % k Xx The Dallas Steers have signed Tim Griesenbeck, ’17, to do a little catch- ing for them. “Tim” has been out of baseball for a little while, but when the Steers needed a catcher badly he stepped into the breach. And he’s clouting them like he used to do on|$ Kyle Field. The “Squarehead” play- ed in the outfield most of the time at A. and M. Griesenbeck was one of the greatest of Aggie athletes, a three letter man and a star in baseball, basketball and football. Hk Reports say that the Aggies will get several high school football stars next year from the graduating clas- ses. All high school stars do not make good, so don’t overlook a good lad because he hasn’t set the world on fire yet. Trim Rigney is still going good with the Boston Red Sox. The old Ag- gie is hitting and fielding like the old “Topper.” EE J Mark “Goat” Wilcox, elected cap- tain of last year’s basketball team, and who failed to return to school, writes that he will be back next year. That gives the court prospects a big boost as there are no better forwards in the conference than the fast and elusive “Goat.” Now if Jerry Pra- ther, another basketball star who has not completed his college work, will return there will be some interesting competition for the quint. Prather is a Fort Worth product and there’s a chance for the Panther City Aggies. * ok % George Koerth, one of the Aggies’ best baseball tossers this past year is pitching for Palestine in the East Texas League. He has won one game to date with no losses. ; * kk Reports have it that Leo Baldwin will be out of athletics for a year fol- lowing an operation on his ankle. His loss will deprive the Longhorns of an excellent athlete. Baldwin dealt the Farmers more misery than any other Steer in the Turkey-Day game last year. k sk 3k Hjertberg, Rice track coach, has re- signed over salary difficulties. It is a real loss, as the crafty old track veteran coach has done wonders for that sport in Rice and Houston. Under his tutelage the Owls would have been headliners on the track in another year or so. —_—— a ————————— H. K. Fawcett, 25, Del Rio, wants a 1926 Longhorn. He will get a splendid book, for this year’s annual is one of the best ever published by an A. and M. senior class. Fawcett says that livestock and farm condi- tions are in fine shape around Del Rio and that the sheep industry seems to be in for a splendid year.
