Dear Mac,
I had intended writing my next
letter to Conway, our ’31 Class
Agent, but I do not have his ad-
dress handy as I'm away on a trip
(you know it is way out in the
sticks when there isn’t a Texas Ag-
gie laying around somewhere) and
thought I better write while I'm
in the mood and have a little
spare time.
About a year and a half ago, I
made the suggestion that every
Aggie should make an extra dona-
tion to the Development Fund
whenever he received a promotion.
I had just gotten my silver leaves
at the time and my friends all
accused me of making the sugges-
tion after I had hit the ceiling
(and I didn’t deny it). But they
do strange things in Uncle Sam’s
Army and this Christmas they
pinned a pair of eagles on my
shoulders.
As I was intending to send a
check to the fund prior to this
surprise, I'm making the enclosed
a little larger than I had intend-
ed.
Although traveling around quite
as engineer officer for S. O. S.
a bit, I am still stationed in China
There is an old saying in the army
that the man next door to the ware-
house gets all the best supplies
and there is no front today that
is further from the warehouse than
China. There are five jobs for ev-
ery man and very little to work
with, but practically everyone over
here likes his assignment. I pre-
sume that being busy is the an-
swer, plus some of the best climate
in the world.
One of our jobs is opening the
China side of the road to India
and it will not be long now. You
will probably get the news story
before this letter reaches you. A
large amount of this work is done
by the Chinese coolies, using their
pare hands and hand tools in lieu
of equipment. I recently watched
a large gang driving piles for a
bridge—all by hand methods. They
have a song they sing (possibly
chant is more accurate) to keep in
unison and it is quite an impressive
sight.
We all enjoy our Aggie and news
of the college. We also feel that
everything is in safe hands and on
the upgrade with Pres. Gilchrist
at the helm and McNew handling
the engineering. We have always
been able to relax with you watch-
ing out for our end, so keep up
the good work and give my regards
to everyone.
Best wishes.

(lass 1895 To Observe Golden
Anniversary April
In celebration of its Golden An-
niversary, the Class of 1895 will
hold a reunion on the campus,
April 20, 21, and 22, this year. An-
nouncement of the reunion has al-
ready gone out in the form of a
joint letter to the class from Class
President A. U. “Red” Smith,
Dallas, President Gibb Gilchrist of
the College and President Rufus
R. Peeples, 28, Tehuacana. Gener-
al arrangements and plans for the
reunion are being handled by Class
President Smith, F. M. Law of
Houston and Walter Coulter of
Bryan, with the office of the As-
20-21-22
sceiation of Former Students as-
sisting.
The Golden Anniversary reunion
will be held despite travel diffi-
culties because of the relative small
number of living members of the
class. Answering an eailier ques-
tion from class president Smith,
the members of the group indicat-
ed a 100 per cent return of all
living members.
No other reunions have been
scheduled for this year, following
the policy set by the Association’s
Directors to defer class gatherings
until after the war.

A Special Word To Me
n In Service
tne
The Veterans’ Educational Benefits
As Provided By The
«“Qervicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944”
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR 'fRAINING?
Any honorably discharged veteran who has had the required mini-
mum active service and was not over 25 years of age when he entered
the service, or one entering after 25 whose education was delayed by
such entry. Any veteran with the required active service is entitled to
a refresher course regardless of age.
2. WHO IS A VETERAN?
Any person who served in the armed forces of the United States
after September 16, 1940, and prior to the cessation of hostilities.
3. WHAT IS THE MINIMUM ACTIVE SERVICE REQUIRED OF
A YprrnaN TO QUALIFY FOR BENEFITS UNDER THE “G.
I. BILL”?
Ninety days, exclusive of time spent as cadet or midshipman in
one of the service academies or in the Army Specialized Training Pro-
gram or the Navy College Training Program, where such courses were
a continuation of his civilian course and pursued to completion.
4. HOW MUCH TRAINING IS PROVIDED FOR A VETERAN WHO
ENTERED THE SERVICE BEFORE REACHING HIS 25th
BIRTHDAY?
The first ninety days of active service entitle the veteran to one
year and three months of educational training; one year’s service gives
him two years of training; two years’ service gives him three years of
training; three years’ service gives him four years of training.
5. HOW MUCH TRAINING IS PROVIDED FOR A VETERAN WHO
IS OVER 25 YEARS OF AGE AT THE TIME OF ENTRY INTO
THE SERVICE?
One year which for those who have completed their education is
intended for refresher courses. More time may be had if it can be shown
that his education was interfered with by reason of entry into military
or naval service.
1
6. MAY A VETERAN PURSUE GRADUATE STUDIES?
Yes, under the same provisions governing undergraduate work.
7. IS THE VETERAN FREE TO SELECT THE COLLEGE OF HIS
CHOICE?
Yes. He may enter any recognized college whose entrance require-
ments he can meet.
8. WHAT ARE THE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS?
They vary somewhat with different institutions and the courses
to be pursued. In general, the requirements are met by “high school
graduation or its equivalent.” Most colleges propose to make to veterans
liberal allowance toward entrance for experience and maturity gained
while in service. A veteran who left high school before graduation is
advised to communicate with the Registrar of the college he proposes
to enter.
9. WHAT IS THE LONGEST TIME A VETERAN MAY ATTEND
COLLEGE UNDER THE READJUSTMENT ACT?
(1) One calendar year for retraining or refresher courses.
(2) Four calendar years under other provisions of the “G. L. Bill”.
(3) Four calendar years for the disabled veteran.
10. HOW SOON MUST TRAINING BE STARTED?
Training must be started within two years from either the date of
discharge or the end of the war, whichever is later. It is recommended
that each veteran begin his training as soon after his discharge as his
health and physical condition permit him to do normal college work.
11. HOW SOON MUST TRAINING BE COMPLETED?
Under the “G. I. Bill” it must-be completed within seven years
from the termination of the present war.
12. WHAT FINANCIAL AID IS PROVIDED FOR THE VETERAN?
$50.00 per month ($25.00 additional if there are dependents) for
living expenses, and expenses for tuition, books, fees, and equipment
up to $500.00 for an ordinary school year will be paid. At present an
ordinary school year has been interpreted as nine months.
13. TO WHOM SHOULD APPLICATION FOR COLLEGE ADMIS-
SION BE MADE?
To the Registrar of the college. The Army has provided a form,
No. 48, “Application for Credit for Educational Advancement During
Military Service”, which is available through military channels, and
other branches of the service provide similar forms. For men still in
college to evaluate their qualifications for admission either as fresh-
men or for advanced standing, and to advise those who plan to continue
their education while in the service what courses they can take to best
advantage. If the forms are not available, a letter to the Registrar
will initiate your application.
14. WHAT TRAINING IS PROVIDED FOR THE DISABLED VET-
ERAN?
Regardless of length of time spent in the service, the veteran who
has a service connected disability is eligible for vocational rehabilitation
training, provided it has been determined by the Veterans Administra-
tion that (1) such disability is pensionable, and that (2) it constitutes
a vocational handicap. The disabled veteran’s training must be com-
pleted within six years from the end of the war. A pension of $92.00
per month is provided for the disabled veteran, and additional allow-
ances are made for dependents.
15. TO WHOM SHOULD THE VETERAN APPLY FOR THE BENE-
FITS OF THE READJUSTMENT ACT?
Texas veterans should apply to the Veterans Administration, Waco,
Texas and others to the office nearest their homes. The veteran who has
not previously been admitted to college will ordinarily find it advan-
tageous to obtain acceptance for admission to college before commun-
icating with the Veterans Administration. .
Aggies Will Join Hands
Around The World At
Annual April 21 Muster
Texas A. & M. men will join hands around the world at the 43rd
Annual Aggie Muster on April 21st. The Muster Tradition has been
followed since April 21st, 1903, when A. & M. Cadets vowed always
to observe the anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto. Their
action developed from -a skirmish with College authorities over. can-
cellation of a school holiday on that date.
The tradition was given further lustre on April 21st, 1942, when
over a score of A. & M. men headed by Major General George F.
Moore, ’08, observed the annual Muster on the beseiged fortress of
Corregidor only ten days before its fall. Their cable telling of the meet-
ing held in defiance of the Japanese was a story that thrilled not only
A. & M. men but the Nation as well. This year’s Muster will well
remember that Corregidor gathering since the “Rock” is expected te
again be in American hands within a short time.
Where no A. & M. Club is organized local muster chairmen will
again be requested to serve as they have done so well in the past.
Wherever no chairman is named a volunteer is requested to step for-
ward, make arrangements, and advise the Association office of his
plans.
Last year well over 600 Aggie Musters were held in every sec-
tion of the world. With more A. & M. men overseas this year it is
possible that more musters will be held out of the United States than
in the home states. Last year for the first time the event was observed
