PRESIDENTIAL SALARIES
Friends of higher education in
Texas will applaud the action of the
legislature in approving a salary
as high as $17,000 for the next
President of Texas University. At
the same time this action only ac-
centuates the fact that the Presi-
dent of the A. & M. College Sys-
tem should be paid as much or
more than the president of the
University. Charged not only with
running an educational institution
of large size and first rank, the
President of Texas A. & M. also
must direct the work and the poli-
cies, subject to his Board of Di-
rectors, of the Experiment Sta-
tion, the Extension Service and
other divisions of our far-flung
institution.
_The_ University should have 2
top sa for its preSident, and
Texas should likewise recognize
the tremendous responsibilities
resting upon the shoulders of the
man who directs the destinies of
the A. & M. College system. His
work not only has to do with the
education of Texas boys, but thru
the other divisions of the college
his hand and his brain affects li-
terally hundreds of other Texas
citizens.
COMMENCEMENT
MEETING
Observers rated the annual Ex-
Student meeting, held last week
during Commencement, as one of
the best of such gatherings in the
long history of the Association. A
big attendance, the presence of
many men who might not have
come but for the pull of gradua-
tion exercises, and the sentimen-
tal and romantic angle of the com-
mencement period, all played their
parts in making the week-end a
great success. Whether future an-
nual meetings will follow at Com-
mencement time is a matter for
the Directors of the organization
to settle.
Ralph J. Dodson, ’35, has recent-
ly become associated with the Air |

Annual Meeting
Pays Tribute To
Deceased Aggies
Since we last met together, a
number of our classmates and
comrades have answered the final
roll call. Deeply loved by those
who knew them, and highly honor-
ed as A. & M. men, their passing
brings sadness to our hearts. As
a tribute to their memories and
as a symbol of deep affection for
these deceased brothers we stand
in silence while this sad roll is
called and the strains of “Silver
Taps” have faded away.

AGGIE SCRAPBOOK
J. WAYNE STARK
DID YOU KNOW:
That A. & M. has had only
three civilian commandmants in the
history of the College—the other
commandants being officers of the
United States Army.
That in 1918 all college people,
Leigh’s Confectionery Shirley Ho-
tel, and the Mess Hall showed their
patriotism by conservating wastage.
of food. (Wonder if the Mess Hall
has been doing that the last week?)
That Randolph Field is the larg-
est of Uncle Sam’s flying centers.
That all the line of Tivy High
School, with the exception of two
| members, are coming to A. & M.
next year to play football. Tivy
High was runner-up to Amarillo
High in the State Interscholastic
football race this last fall.
That A. & M. had six yell leaders
in 1919.
That there was an air service
corp in A. & M. several years ago.
In 1926, there were two companies
of the air service—and the same
man was first sergeant of both
companies.
That during the year of 1903,
the dial telephone system was used
on the A. & M. campus. This sys-
tem was one of the few in the
United States—as the dial tele-
phone was a new thing then. The
system was a novel one, in that
there were three wires from the
customer to the telephone office.
That although Texas leads all
states in production of wool and
mohair, there is no manufacture
of woolen or mohair goods in the
state.
A survey by the New York Times
showed that Texas A. & M. fur-
nished more officers than any oth-
er college during the World War.
And if another war should break
out, A. & M. would probably lead
again.
That the Texas Centennial Ex-
position was the first air-condi-
tioned world’s fair.
That A. & M. College has a very
unique system. Included in its sys-
tem is the Extension system, Ex-
perimental stations, two junior Col-
leges, a negro College, Texas For-
estry Service, and A. & M. proper.
That condensed milk and manu-
factured ice had their origin in
Texas.
That Doctor C.
present head of the Modern Lang-
uages Department, coached the
first track team at A. & M. Six
men came out at the first of the
season—but only three men finish-
ed the season. At a meet at Waco
during the last of the track season,
these three men made enough
points to place second in the meet.
B.
Colgin President
Plains A. & M. Club
Paul C. “Happy” Colgin, ’29,
county agent at Tulia, was elected
president of the Central Plains A.
& M. Club at that club’s meeting
in April at Plainview. Colgin was
a member of the Aggie football
teams during his cadet days, being
one of the conference’s best run-
ning backs at that time. The Cen-

slugger of the Aggie champion-
ship baseball team this spring,
seems to have a firm grip on the
beautiful trophy given by the Aus-
tin A. & M. Club to A. & M.s
most popular athlete. The cup was
presented before the final cham-
pionship game by Johnny Josephs,
’35, representing the Capitol City
Club and it is hard to tell whether
he or Dowling is the happiest over
the championship. Dowling’s home-
run smash in the last of the eighth
with two men aboard was one of
the deciding factors in the final
game.

year of graduate work at A. & M,,
