Richmond GRADUATES WHOSE SERVICES ARE IN DEMAND ry [EF At this time when jobs are scarce, it is surprising that posi- tions await 80 per cent of the spring graduates of Texas Agri- cultural and Mechanical College. But a survey by The Associated Press reveals this to be the case. Fifty-two members of the class of 594 young men are to continue their education. Positions have been accepted by 334, and 85 have made arrangements either to return to their farms and work or go into business for themselves. But the graduates of A. and M. College have something more than academic education. They are are ready to put their schooling in- to practice. Employers have learn- ed that a diploma from this school has a definite meaning. Our educational system, on the whole, is not closely enough relat- ed to private enterprise to enable graduates to go from the class room into employment, but this is not true of institutions such as A. and M. College. Those students of A. and M. who are going back to the farm have training in scientific agriculture. They can succeed where untrained men are doomed to failure. The graduates of A. and M. College have proved that farming can be learned from books as well as from experience. (From: The Times-Herald, Dallas.) A COMMUNITY NEED One of the many needs of the A. & M. College community is a cemetery, and the AGGIE recom- mends that College officials and the Board of Directors give thought to providing a suitable plot of ground for this purpose. The burial in some pretty spot on the campus of many of the men ‘who have labored so long for the institution would add a definite so far rather a raw community spirit. Humanity clings to its memories of the dead, and the fine memories of many men and women who have enriched the life of the A. & M. community should be enshrined here. Had a cemetery been pro- vided upon the campus many years ago, that spot today would be the community’s richest re- minder of the past, and an endur- ing guardian of many of the finest personal traditions of the institu- tion. There should be no particular difficulty in providing a suitable burial ground upon the campus. Whatever has been 1st through lack of such a spot during the past sixty years cannot be recovered, but there’s another sixty years ahead. M. Perry Payne, ’37, is living at 107 W. Lakeview Street, Hender- son, Texas, where he is a landscape architect for W. Keith Maxwell.

If ‘your son is coming to A. & M. this fall, or if any of your young friends are plan- ning upon entering, they should AT ONCE make appli- cation to the College for ad- mission. Delay along this line may jepardize a student’s chances of getting accommo- dations in the Dormitories. First step is to have a new student’s high school credits sent to The Registrar, College Station, Texas, and to ask the Registrar for an application blank. All correspondence of this nature should be carried on direct with the Registrar’s office. A. & M. Ring Found Chief of Police E. W.
