Get Them Back To
Work
Renewed efforts to put every
unemployed A. & M. man to work
are being undertaken, and the cam-
paign reported elsewhere in this
issue of the Aggie. It’s a campaign
that every A. & M. man can aid,
and he can do no greater service
to a fellow former student than to
help him get back into gainful em-
ployment. With an improvement in
general conditions many jobs
should become available. With sev-
Bhs. oral thousands of , A. & M. men
I
properly functioning, aided by the
"A. & M. College and the Associa-
tion office, a great number of
these jobs should be filled by A.
& M. men.
To those needing employment
might be given this advice: Keep
in touch with the Association of-
fice at College and with the de-
partment whose courses you stud-
ied as a student. Advise them if
you are out of work, or if you want
another kind of work. Also advise
them should you become properly
and satisfactorily employed. It is
difficult to make a success of ‘an
employment list, if the names
thereon are not correct and up-to-
date. And keep them advised. Your
frequent reminder is their frequent
spur to activity in your behalf.
When the worst of the unem-
ployment is over, there will be
wrecks left in the back-wash of
the storm. Men who will never
catch up with the times, men
broken and discouraged by the
struggle, men too weak, too dis-
couraged, too careless, to grab the
opportunities that are bound to
once more and some time come by.
The AGGIE hopes few of these
wrecks will be the sons of A. &
M., and to that end the thought
and the efforts of everyone con-
cerned should be mobilized in a
campaign to “GET THEM BACK
TO WORK.”
The Influence of
Campus Landmarks
The end of Gathright Hall, old-
est building on the Campus, brings
vividly to mind the rapidly chang-
ing character of A. & M.s physi-
cal plant. Only Pfeuffer and Aus-
tin Halls remain of the really old
and original buildings on the cam-
pus. They are landmarks; revered
statues of an earlier day. If mem-
ories and evidences of the anti-
quity of the institution are to be
retained, some thought must be
given to the preservation of his-
torical aspects of the campus.
A frequent, and perhaps justi-
fied criticism of western education-
al institutions has been their raw-
ness and their newness. Time, of
course, can make them old. But the
mellowing effect of their age,
their traditions and their past his-
tory, will be lost, if no tangible
shrines are retained. The A. & M.
College is the oldest State educa-
tional institution of Texas, and
that fact should play its part in
the spiritual influence of the
school upon its students.
The march of progress and de-
velopment is sometimes impatient
with things old, out-of-date, and
in the way. Perhaps these campus
landmarks are not what we’d like
them to be, but they are all the
institution has. Once destroyed,
they can never be replaced. Their
value is in representing the mem-
ories, the happenings and the
growth of many years, and has
nothing to do with mere stone and
mortar.
The Aggie hopes the College will
not make the mistake of overlook-
ing this feature of campus devel-
opment. To the vigor of the fine
growth and development of A. &
M. may be added the mellow, tol-
erant and gentle spiritual atmos-
phere so highly prized by older in-
stitutions. But the growth of this
atmosphere must be closely watch-
ed and nurtured. The sharp blade
of an axe can destroy a century’s
magnificent tree.

Barksdale Field, La.
August 5, 1933.
Subject: Change of Address
To: E. E. McQuillen, Secretary,
‘Assn. Former Students.
1. Please change my address to
Box 184,
Barksdale Field, La.
2. Uncle decided to send me back
down south instead of to Panama
as I had thought, but I like Barks-
dale fine. While in the Middle
west I was only able to make one
of the meetings at Chicago. They
have a very fine club and George
Lewis is working them all. Spike
Arnold is so fat that he looks like
he has a permanent case of the
mumps. Charlie Waugh, Cotton
Davidson, A. Y. Gunter, Spike
Taylor and the others that I knew
hadn’t changed materially. George
Lewis had changed so much in the
9 years I hadn’t seen him that I
almost had to ask his name.
Shortly after arriving here I
saw Frank Kelley one evening at
a dance. He is a big Gas man
here (about as big as ever that
way). I always said that he should
be selling insurance because he
has a good “line”. I'm not trying
to hand him the razz. We have a
new Officer here, Reserve on ac-
tive duty, “Sweetie” Davis, I be-
ieve he was at school, class of ’31
or ’32, a big red headed boy. These
two are the only ones I have seen
since I’ve been here. So much for
the Bull.
Yours truly,
M. E. TILLERY, ’26,
1st Lt. Air Corps.
