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,

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”.

Dear Mulvey:
Lots of muddy and troubled
waters have run under that rickety
old bridge since I saw you last
but I feel like the fun I have had
has made up for lots of the hard
times.
My son is married and lives at
Victoria and has two lovely daugh-
ters, age 12 and 8. My daughter
s also married and lives at Mathis,
Texas. She has one boy 8.
As you can see by the enclosed
blotter, I am in the Life Insurance
business again. I am making a
good living and laying up a little
for old age—as if I were not al-
ready old—but I am not getting
rich.
I had a letter from Jesse V.
“Bunny” Butler, ’12, 1315 11th St.,
Huntsville, last week and he com-
plains of getting old. I had a nice
visit with “Polly” Kreuger, ’12,
here in Corpus a couple of months
ago. I go to the Valley once in a
while and see Patrick S. Devine,
"12, every time I go. He is fat,
white haired, and happy. He has
three boys and one girl. All of the
boys went to war and came home
0. K. I ran into a cousin of Roy
Bozeman’s here. He was at TCU
when we were at A. & M. He has
a printing business here.
Well, Mulvey, I guess that just
about brings you up to date on
my affairs. Oh yes, I am also
serving as secretary of the Corpus
Christi A. & M. Club. We have a
fine club here in this growing city.
Give my regards to the family,
and with every good wish to you
and yours, I am,
As ever,

Members, Class of 1928
Gentlemen:
This letter is following closely
behind the other one of August
6th. 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. He also
mentioned being in New York on
San Jacinto Day and spent several
hours reminiscing with “Ug” Dunn
and his wife.
Have all of you noticed that C.
M. Elwell, 1923, Austin, Texas, is
now a Vice-President of the Asso-
ciation and was one of the main
members of the committee that
wrote the new by-laws of the As-
sociation to serve the Association
with distinction,
All suggestions and letters will
still be appreciated—Some of you
are likely to get designated to
write a letter.
Sincerely,
Ben F. “Reveille” Brown.
H. C. Atchison, who for the past
two and half years has been Con-
cho County Agricultural Agent,
has resigned to become West Tex-
as appraiser for the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. Atchison
was in the extension service work
for 17 years, having been county
agent at Sonora, Falfurrias and
Johnson City before serving Con-
cho County.

Dear Classmates:
Your committee charged with
making arrangements for the be-
lated celebration of our 20th An-
niversary, October 19, held an-
other meeting the other day, and
we are glad to report that our
plans are moving along nicely.
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.
Quite a few reservations have
been received but many others
