glad to give up some of
YOUNG MAN’S SPECIAL
This issue of The Aggie is almost a “Young Man’s Spe-
cial”, containing as it does so much news about the more
recent classes. The Editor customarily starts with the older
classes and works forward on news, leaving until the next
issue all for which space is not available. The process was
reversed in this issue, resulting in no space left for class news
of older groups. They will be brought up to date in the next
issue. The AGGIES deep regret is that neither space nor
paper is available to really carry as full news and as much
news as the story of the times deserves. The Editor believes,
however, that Aggie “Pioneers” and other older classes are
their space to the story that younger
classes are writing all over the world, at home and abroad.
