THE BATTALION

Cornell University.
The class of ’84 was represented by \Y. Wippreclit of
Bryan and Prof. AY. B. Philpott of College. The latter gen
tleman has undertaken for the summer months the editor
ship of the Gulf Messenger of San Antonio. That he may
be highly successful in bringing this promising Texas ma
gazine to the highest pitch of excellence is the wish of every
alumnus.
A. M. Ferguson, ’1)4, of Belton, is now entitled to write
M.S. after his name, he having finished has graduate course
hor<> this year.
“Hack” Watkins, ’95, of Del Rio, Texas, assured the Al
umni editor that Ire would give every one of his red hairs, as
much as he thought of them, and go through life bald-
headed, if by doing so he would be enabled to attend com
mencement, but business engagements prevented. It was

The members of this class that were present at the var

Burgoon of College and Adams of Ennis.
P. I 5 . Mills of Waco, once a member of this class came
down to commencement and was hailed with delight by all
of his old comrades, who insisted that he should consider
himself their special guest of honor.
The new constitution adopted by the Alumni Association
at this year’s meeting was almost entirely the work of Prof.
P. K Til son, ’88, and it tells well for the care and pains he
took in preparing it that it was adopted by the association
as it was presented, and without a dissenting vote.
Frank Lewis is another C. E. of ’94 that has served his
country and himself well since graduation.
Appropriations were made for continuing the work of
seetionalizing the lands in the Indian Territory, much to
the pleasure of Mr. Lewis. Frank arrived on the campus
Saturday evening with a fine, large moustache, but the
boys borrowed a pair of scissors and away they went, to
the displeasure of the hotel clerk.
E. L. Bruce came in late, but made up for lost time just
as of old. Says he is working in the only bank in Mineola.
Rob Smither made himself known shortly after Monday’s
