The
Building Program
Within the next year A. and M.
will complete a two million dollar
building program, marking the fin-
ale of long years of endeavor to se-
cure its share in the landed endow-
ment of the University. Completion
of this program will give the College
perhaps the finest physical plant of
its nature in the South.
Every son of A. and M. and every
friend of A. and M. owes a debt of
gratitude to the men who have made
this program possible, and to those
who are carrying the program thru
to completion. President T. O. Wal-
ton, The Board of Directors of the
College, the architectural and build-
ing staff of the college, the legisla-
tive friends of the institution, and
the many A. and M. men who lent
their support and gave their efforts
to the consummation of the program
have every reason to feel proud of
their accomplishments. The AGGIE
takes this opportunity to extend to
them the thankseof A. and M. men.
Gathright Hall
Gathright Hall, the oldest building
upon the A. and M. campus, stands
today unused. A suggestion has been
made that it be retained as a perma-
nent feature of the campus, to serve
as a reminder of the early days of
the institution. No great sum of
money would be required to maintain
this historic hall and to preserve its
quiet beauty. It occupies a space
that could perhaps be used for no
other major purpose. In time it
might become a museum of A. and
M. history. The past and the future
of the A. and M. College would be
linked through this noble structure.
The AGGIE hopes the Board of Di-
rectors of the College will give
thought to saving and preserving
Gathright Hall.
BR es A
WANTS JOB WITH NO PAY!
The peculiar position of seeking a
job that does not pay a cent of sal-
ary was enjoyed by Tom I. Jones 29,
of Dallas, during the primary elec-
tions. He was a candidate for county
surveyor of Dallas county. The coun-
ty pays nothing for the job, but
does furnish an office. The county
surveyor is compensated by pay from
individuals for ‘surveying land for
them. For two years Jones was with
the Dallas Power and Light Com-
pany. The Aggie has not learned how
the election resulted, though Jones
was running against a man who had
held the office for many years.

Dr. H. O. Von Rosenberg ’20,

Ward-Moore, Inc., farm manage-
ment service, is the name of a new
venture launched this summer by
A. L. Ward ’10, and J. A. Moore.
The service is patterned after simi-
lar organizations which have suc-
cessfully functioned in the Corn Belt
and in the Northern States and will
specialize upon the management of
farm properties. Both Mr. Ward and
Mr. Moore are among the best known
agricultural leaders of the state and
have likewise had ample practical
experience as “dirt farmers.”
Farm management services, hew
to the Southwest, have been success-
fully and profitably operated for
many years throughout the Corn
Belt. These services represent the
land owner, giving him the benefit
of experience and capable supervis-
ion, as well as a continuity of plans
and purposes.
For many years A. L. Ward ’10,
was a member of the Extension Ser-
vice of the A. and M. College. He
is at present educational service di-
rector for the Texas and Oklahoma
Cotton Seed Crushers Association.
Previous to his connection with the
A. and M. College he operated one
of the best diversified large farming
projects in the state. Mr. Moore has
farmed in Dallas county for 34 years
and through his success has achiev-
ed wide renown.
The new project. will cause no
change in Ward’s present connection.
The new service will be glad to re-
ceive inquiries and queries at its
headquarters, 1411 Santa Fe Bldg,
Dallas, Texas.
