DIRECTORS—
(Continued from Page 1)
coming at the same time. The dates
coincide with Commencement dates.
President Dodson reported to the
Directors the meetings of the Ex-
ecutive Committee and the Stu-
dent Loan Trustees, held since the
Board meeting in Colorado last
summer. One meeting of that group
was held at College on September
9-10, for setting up and inaugurat-
ing the Placement Program, in co-
operation with a Faculty Commit-
tee. The other meeting of these
committees was held in Dallas on
Nov. 26, to consider other business
of a pressing nature. The Execu-
tive Committee serves when emer-
gency matters arise that cannot
await a regular meeting of the
entire Board of Directors.
The report of the secretary in-
cluded a financial report for the
fiscal year just closed and showed
the Association in sound financial
condition. Additional reports upon
the placement program and other
activities of the Association were
covered in Secretary McQuillen’s
report.
Won All Titles
Called upon for a report upon the
athletic situation, M. J. Miller, one
of the Association representatives
on the Athletic Council reported
affairs in fine shape but pointed
to the necessity for continued ca-
pable material for athletic teams.
In a jocular vein he declared, “Joe
Wessendorff and myself, as repre-
sentatives of A. & M. Ex-Students,
were not unmindful of the clamor
for a title last fall. Not knowing
just what title A. & M. men wanted
we decided the only safe thing was
to win them all.” Pressed for a
guarantee on next year’s perform-
ance, however, he refused to make
any promise.
Other items discussed by the Di-
rectors included the need for a
closer cooperation between the As-
sociation office and A. & M. Clubs,
the entertainment of athletes visit-
ing the campus to inspect the
school, how A. & M. Clubs might
assist the Placement program and
the T. O. Walton Portrait Fund be-
ing established by a group of A.
& M. men under the leadership of
John C. Burns, ’04, and Melvin
Miller, "11, of Ft. Worth.
The portrait will be presented to
the College as a feature of the
Annual Faculty-Former Student
Luncheon held at the annual meet-
ing of ths Association at Com-
mencement.
