THE BATTALION
lie fulfills the arduous duties of Ids position in a manner to
shed lustre on his name.
T. Al. Kyle, '93, of Nursery, was back to witness the en
trance of his brother, H. C. Kyle, ’96, into the ranks of the
association.
Ij. K. Lewis, B. S. A., ’93, and M. S. ’94, has been making a
record that should make the whole college proud of having
him as a graduate. He has since leaving here distinguished
himself as a student at Arnes College, Iowa; upon gradua
tion there he accepted a position in the veterinary depart
ment of that college, and on June 1st, 1896, was elected vet
erinarian of the Oklahoma A. & M. college.
For the first time since his graduation in 1892 E. H.
Sanvignet failed to put in any appearance at commence
ment. We learn that his absence was not on account of
any dampening of his ardor for his alma mater, but being
so far away as the City of Mexico, it was impossible for
him to attend.
There was a larger proportion of the class of ’94 present
at the reunion this year than of any other class, and since
that is the largest class that has ever graduated here, it is
plain that there must have been quite a bunch of them. The
roll call of the class showed that there were present Bruce,
Dazey, Ferguson, Howell, Lewis F., Pittuek, Ross F., Rose,
Sewell, Smither and Todd. Massenburg, now at Texar
kana, promised to be on hand if the trains were running,
and since he did not come we have been anxiously awaiting
the announcement of some fearful railroad catastrophe in
North Texas.
Geo. Grape, ’92, was of course on the grounds and en
joyed the pleasure of meeting his old friends and fellow
students, while his demeanor was not affected in the least
by the fact that his duties as assistant engineer of the col
lege electric light and ice works kept him from attending
the banquet.
It was regretted by all of his old friends that Dan Cush
ing, ’91, now a student at Vanderbilt TTiiversity, could not
manage to come up along with his brother, who now stands
at the head of the honorary members of the Alumni Asso
ciation, elected under the new constitution.
Prof. H. Ness, ’89, of the A. &'M. College, was of course
present at all of the meetings, both public and business,
but we learn that he leaves soon for Ithaca, N. Y., where he
will continue his graduate studies for an M. S. degree at
