DR. H. Y. BENEDICT
A. & M. men mourn with former
students of Texas University over
thw death last week of the Uni-
versity President, Dr. H. Y. Ben-
edict. His long service at the Uni-
versity and as a citizen of Texas
has made him known to many A.
& M. men, and thousands of others
know him by the affection and
high regard held for him by his
own University Ex-Students. Only
those men who have come in con-
tact with a teacher of his caliber
and character can entirely feel the
loss of such a man. His death is
a loss suffered by every friend of
higher education in Texas.

 NEWS-PHOTO CONTEST |
Although the number of entries
in the News-Photo Contest launch-
ed this spring by the TEXAS AG-
GIE, was disappointingsly small,
the quality and the interest of the
entries was encouraging. At least
those men who sent in photographs
have demonstrated that A. & M.
men can take pictures of definite
news to readers of the AGGIE. It
is the hope of the AGGIE that its
readers will send such pictures to
their publication whenever such
pictures are available. Failing to
do so deprives a man’s friends of
a great deal of pleasure.
THE ANNUAL MEETING
This year’s annual Ex-Students’
Meeting, which will be held on the
campus at Commencement, should
draw the largest attendance in the
organization’s history. One of the
reasons for the decision of the As-
sociation Directors to return to
this commencement date, was the
hope that more A. & M. men would
attend this annual business meet-
ing and through this contact be-
come more directly interested in
the work of the Association.
Like other similar organizations,
the A. & M. Ex-Students’ Asso-
ciation has suffered, to some ex-
tent through the lack of active par-
ticipation by the rank and file
of its membership. The result has
been that year after year a great
deal of the work of the organiza-
tion has rested upon the shoulders
of the same men.
No organization was ever more
fortunate in the wisdom and will-
ingness of its ‘“wheel-horse’” mem-
bers than has been the A. & M.
Ex-Students’ Association. These
very “wheel-horse” men, however,
will be the first to welcome the
more active interest and partici-
pation of others.
The AGGIE hopes and trusts
that every commencement visitor
will make a point of attending the
Association’s annual business meet-
ing, which will be held after the
luncheon Saturday noon, January
5.
THE ANNUAL AUDIT
Presented in this issue of the
AGGIE, is a complete audit made
of the financial affairs of the As-
sociation of Former Students by
a nationally known firm of ac-
countants and auditors. Among the
encouraging features of the report
are a healthy increase in the num-
ber of dues payments and a steady
growth of the total Assets of the

That in the “old days” the Com-

East Texas; that “Eastland”, Tex-

“West”, Texas is in Central Texas.
That Texas A and M is the
oldest state supported school of
higher learning in the state of
Texas.
That the A and M Ex-Students’
Association plans its largest meet-

big time. So, let’s get together,
Aggies—and show these Ex-Ag-
gies a royal reception in the old
characteristic Aggie style.
That J. W. “Dough” Rollins,

be a fine thing if every member
of the Association would read and
study this financial report. The
AGGIE believes that every man
who has had a part in the growth
and development of the A. & M.
Ex-Students’ Association, will feel
a glow of pride in the rise of that
organization to its present high
point among similar associations
of the United States.

BRICK-BATS & ROSES
—BOTH WELCOME
I am writing to put in my two
cents worth concerning the propos-
ed change in form of the Aggie.
May I introduce some reasons why
I do not approve such a change?
First, the increased costs. I can
large magazines, no,
three, which have suspended pub-
lication because of printing costs.
This has been within the last six
months, and the chief reason has
been high paper costs. Too, en-
graving expenses would be increas-
ed.
Secondly, I do not think that
A. & M. has ever been greatly in-
fluenced by the precedent of other
colleges. Our needs are peculiarly
our own, and in my opinion the
present form of the Aggie better
fulfills those needs because (1) it
can appear more often, and after
all, what we want is news and not
a picture book, and (2) it is more
economical. I do not think you
would obtain sufficient additional
advertising to warrant a change.
My proposal is that you give us
better reporting in the present
form and forget the magazine.
The report of the student strike in
the April 15th issue was most con-
fusing. I have had city editors who
would fire me or anyone else who
put a delayed lead on a story of
that importance. I am aware that
you had to be careful of libel
laws, but a true and impartial re-
port telling “who, what, why, when
and where” would have been most
welcome and I trust the literacy
of the Aggie grad to ascertain the
meaning and form his own opin-
ion accordingly.
Also, what happened to Tommy
Mayo’s column? I thought it was
the most readable bit, next to the
personnels, in the paper. Even if
we grads don’t read books, we
ought to know more about them.
Incidentally, I am no longer a
literary agent. I'm supposed to be
doing a juvenile novelty book in
collaboration with another fellow
at the request of a publisher.
Sincerely,
H. W. Dugan, 34
834 Second Ave.
New York, City.
Enclosed find the five bucks for
dues. I appreciate the good work
you are doing. Keep it up.
Regarding changing the form
of the Aggie. I feel like the form
is immaterial. If it can be handled
more conveniently,
and more profitably to the asso-
ciation by changing I say change.
But I do not think you can improve
on the type of material you have
been putting into the paper. It
is just the kind of “dope” the old
grad likes. I want to know what
the other fellows are doing. I like
to know when special honors and
advancement comes to my former
friends. I like to know when some
of the bunch pass on to higher re-
wards. I like to know about the
weddings and arrivals. I like to
know of important changes and
activities at College. You have
given us those things. I do not
believe you can improve on the ma-
terial you have given us.
I believe it is admitted that the
Former Students Association of
the Texas A. & M. is one of the
best in the country. I feel like our
paper is also. Good luck to you.
Very truly yours,
