MEN Pioneers New Braunfels, Tex, Sept. 21, 1946 Dear Friend and Fellow Alumnus: It is now a little more than a year since I resigned my position on the College staff. During this period I have received no infor- mation from the College except through The Texas Aggie, so I am in no position to tell you any- thing about the College which has not been published in the Aggie. In order to keep in touch with each other, I believe it would be well for each of us to write a brief account of his recent activi- ties, send them to me so that I, as Class Agent, can forward them to Mr. McQuillen who can then, from time to time, publish extracts in the Aggie which will be of in- terest to each of us and possibly also to some of the younger mem- bers of our fraternity. Speaking for myself, I devoted all of my spare time during the past year to the preparation of the manuscript for a book which I began about twenty years ago. In 1925 I published a series of articles in Heating and Ventilat- ing, in which I explained the ceor- rect method of designing gravity- circulation, hot-water heating sys- tems. I had learned that method while I was a student in Germany in 1906-1907. In 1940 I published a series of six articles in Heating, Piping and Air-Conditioning in which I ex- plained the fundamental principles on which radiant heating and ra- diant cooling are based and which I had learned while traveling in Europe in 1929-1930 and later, also, from the study of European literature. This series of articles contributed much to the adoption, in the United States, of radiant heating which is now so very pop- ular in heating circles. Since then I have devoted much time to the study of radiant cool- ing, which has been in successful operation in Switzerland for 15 years—so the title of my new book is Hot-Water Heating, Ra- diant Heating, and Radiant Cool- ing. The manuscript is in the hands of the printers and I hope the book can be published before the end of the current year. With very best wishes, Fraternally, F. E. Giesecke, Class Agent, Pioneer Group Wm. E. Giesecke, ’92, has moved from Coah, Mexico, to New Braun- fels, Texas. D. D. Peden, ’'95, is Chairman of the Board of the Peden Iron and Steel Co., Houston, Texas. Walter Foster, ’91, Princess Louise Hotel, Corpus Christi, Tex- as, thoughtfully remembers his “buddies” Col. E.

Foy 3322Knight St. Dallas 4 Visiting the campus in Septem- ‘ber after an absence of 25 years or more was Jerome G. “Sculy” Harrison, ¢/o The Ballinger Co., 105 So. 12th St., Philadelphia, Pa. Mr, Harrison is an executive of the Ballinger Co., one of the na- tion’s outstanding architectural and engineering firms. He has been with the firm for the past 20 years and was in Texas on bus- iness. His father was Business Manager of the College during the years 1894-1906, and Harrison spent those years on the campus. He received his degree in 1902. A remarkably young looking man for his years, Mr. Harrison is ample proof of the error or a report of his death of some years ago. While on the campus he en- joyed visiting with many old friends in College Station and Bryan. An interesting anecdote was his report of the origin of the nick- name, ‘“Sculy”. Another Harri- son who preceded him at A. & M. by several years was famous for his luck with dice and cards. A Choctaw Indian student at that time called him “Sculy”, that word being the Choctaw word for lucky. For a number of years during the early 1900’s each student at the College named Harrison carried the nickname of “Sculy”. 1903 T. B. Warden 1605 Westover Rd., Austin The A. & M.

Sargeant, professor of Military Science and Tactics at the College in those early days. The 1905 Longhorn was dedicated to Cap- tain Sargeant, who spent six years on the campus. Mrs. B. S. Nelson, better known to the class as Mary Hutson, one of the Hutson twins, is generously shipping the Association a box of Longhorns, A. & M. catalogues and other records of the family’s life at A. & M.

Conner, formerly Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the College, and now a resident of Marlin, recently brought to the College and Bryan a truck load of 11,000 lbs of sin- gle hybrid corn to be used for seed purposes.

No one has said not to write but there has been very little en- couragement, with exceptions of course. The writer received a splendid letter from Mrs. Joseph A. Patton in answer to one written her as the result of “Pat’s” death and as sug- gested by Ross H. Brison as a pro- cedure for all of us to follow in case of a Classmate’s passing. It is hoped that none of you overlook following this procedure for Mrs. Patton’s reply should make anyone feel repaid for his efforts. A splendid letter was also re- ceived from O. Mingus who is with the LAGO OIL & TRANSPORT COMPANY in ARUBU, CURA- CAO—now look it up to see where it is. Mingus stated that he at- tended Harvard for the first half of this year and wanted to assure everyone that the Atmosphere there was somewhat different from that of Texas A. & M.

Arrangements have already been made for a delicious barbecue luncheon to be served at 12:30 on the day of October 19. We will all fill up on barbecue, then go out and have horned frog for dessert at Kyle Field. If you have not ordered your tickets you should do so now by writing direct to the Athletic De- partment. Tickets are $3.00 each. Upon arrival you can buy knot hole tickets for your children who are still in grade or high shool. The knot hole tickets are 75 cents each. If you prefer to wait and buy tickets upon arrival it is be- lieved they will be available. If you don’t plan to go to the game, you can stick around at headquarters and doubtless there will be a radio operating.
