“Mitchell,
MINUTES OF THE CALLED
MEETING OF THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF THE
FORMER STUDENTS AS-
SOCIATION
College Station, Texas
March 11, 1934
The meeting was called to order
by President T. B. Warden at
10:30 a. m. in the Association Of-
fice with the following directors
present: J. A. Scofield, Colonel O.
A. Seward, Jack Shelton, M. P.
Mimms, Verne Scott, W. W. Law-
son, A. P. Rollins, A. F. Mitchell,
Colonel P. L. Downs, M. J. Miller,
C. A. Thanheiser, H. K. Deason,
T. B. Warden, and Max Gilfillan.
Others present included J. T. L.
McNew, Joe Utay, Colonel John
E. Mitchell, Dean E. J. Kyle, and
Secretary E. E. McQuillen.
President Warden introduced as
the first matter of business the
question of a special train to Phil-
adelphia and New York for the
Temple-A. & M. football game
next fall. He called upon Joe Utay
to discuss this matter with the
directors. It was explained by C.
A. Thanheiser that the Athletic
Council was deeply interested in
sending the band to Philadelphia,
if possible, and for this reason had
asked the Association to investi-
gate the matter of a special train.
After considerable discussion, the
following motion was proposed by
A. P. Rollins: “The Directors of the
Association do not consider the
sponsoring of the train a legiti-
mate function of the organization.”
The motion lost by a vote of 11
noes and 2 ayes.
The following motion was pre-
sented by H. K. Deason and A. P.
Rollins: “The Directors of the As-
sociation favor sponsoring a spe-
cial train to Philadelphia and New
York, without financial obligation
to the Association, and the Presi-
dent is instructed to appoint a
special committee for this pur-
pose”. The motion was passed
without a dissenting vote.
Mr. A. P. Rollins spoke upon the
matter of the controversy, which
had developed within the ranks of
the Association, regarding the es-
tablishing of honorary scholastic
societies at the A. & M. College. He
felt the question should not be
thrown open for debate at the An-
nual Meeting because of the danger
of creating a rift within the ranks
of the Association. He pointed out
many problems facing the A. & M.
College upon which every A. & M.
man should. unite his efforts with-
out the distraction of internal ar-
guments. His thoughts on the mat-
ter were seconded by Jack Shelton,
who stated that the Association of
Former Students was violating one
of its primary tenets by meddling
with a matter that should be handl-
ed by the authorities of the Col-
lege. Similar thoughts were  ad-
vanced bv James A. Scofield, A. F.
C. A. Thanheisér, ana
others. In response to a ques-
tion from Colonel Seward, Mr. Rol-
ling stated that he felt the Dallas
A. & M. Club would retract its
recent resolution against the es-
tablishment of these societies, if
the directors would remove the
matter from their consideration.
After considerable discussion, A.
P. Rollins, Colonel O. A. Seward,
and Secretary E. E. McQuillen
were directed to withdraw and
write a suitable resolution concern-
ing this matter. They presented the
following statement, which was
passed unanimously: “At a pre-
vious meeting, the Board of Direc-
tors of the Association considered
the matter of the establishment of
honorary scholastic societies at the
A. & M. College. Further consider-
ation has brought about the belief
that our group should not under-
take to make a decision of ‘this
nature but that such decision
should be made by the constituted
authorities of the College”.
President T. B. Warden propos-
ed a resolution of welcome and sup-
port to the new members of the A.
& M. College Athletic Department
and its passage was moved and
seconded by James A. Scofield and
A. F. Mitchell. The resolution was
adopted.
After adjournment for lunch, the
meeting was resumed at 1:30 p. m.
with Homer Norton and Cal Hub-
bard present. Both spoke briefly
to the directors. President Warden
called the attention of the Ath-
letic Department to the new plan
of Thanksgiving Ticket Distribu-
tion proposed by A. C. Schram of
Taylor.
President T. B. Warden propos-
ed a resolution asking that the
Commandant of the College look
into the matter of the development
of a more widely used A. & M.
College song than was available
at the present time. The resolution
was passed.
President Warden brought up the
matter of the Interview Campaign,
stating that it had been a great
success from the standpoint of in-
terest aroused, worth while criti-
cisms and suggestions received,
and that it had also resulted in a
good many Association dues being
paid. Jack Shelton stated that
some of the questions asked on this
Interview Blank concerned the in-
ternal affairs of the College and
he opposed the commitment of the
Association on any of these ques-
tions. Similar thought on the mat-
ter was expressed by M. J. Miller,
and others. It was moved by M. J.
Miller and seconded by Shelton
that no report be made of answers
in the Interview Campaign and
that the President keep in his
hands all returns made on this
campaign. The motion passed.
President T. B. Warden propos-
ed that next year’s Association
Directors appoint a Survey Com-
mittee for the purpose of study-
ing the aims and progress of the
organization and setting some fu-
ture goals of accomplishments.
Various suggestions were made by
directors present toward aiding
the development of the Association.
M. J. Miller proposed the use of
students for the collection of dues
during the summer months. He al-
so proposed that each county or
city have an official reporter for
the TEXAS AGGIE, and he further
proposed that the Vice-President
of the Association should normally
be advanced to the presidency to
the end that a better continuity
of action and work would be
brought about.
Mr. H. K. Deason suggested
that a tablet or monument from
A. & M. men should be placed upon
the San Jacinto Battle Grounds and
this proposal was approved by Col-
onel P. L. Downs. It was moved by
M. J. Miller and H. K. Deason that
the president appoint a committee
to investigate thoroughly this pro-
posal and report back to the board.
The motion was passed and Pres-
ident Warden appointed H. K. 'Dea-
son, Chairman, C. A. Thanheiser,
and W. W. Lawson.
Dean Kyle spoke upon the ath-
letic situation at A. & M. and told
of some of the plans already under
way for the advancement of these
activities. He paid tribute to Hom-
er Norton and other members of
the athletic staff. Colonel John E.
Mitchell, Commandant, was intro-
duced to the directors and spoke
