Cadet Davidson, the football
player with plenty of nerve, was
recently visited by his mother,
Mrs. Davidson, of Fort Worth.

and the work being done here.

sor of Co., says: “Are

and also have a big brother in

Miss Hettie Smith, of Bryan,
visited Mrs. Elena Edmonds the
last of the week. While here she
was a welcome visitor to the Cal-

The following is a list of the
many good things captured by the
A. and M. College at the opening

did have a “chicken,” but it took
wings and flew away to find its
mate.
Lieut. Moseley went up to Dal

We do not know whether he at

tainly attended some other place
of more attraction to him.
President L. L. Foster and son
Joe went down to Galveston the
last of the week, where Joe en
tered the medical college. Joe
passed the examination with credt

Jodie starting in so well.
The college has an enrollment
of 400 students, the largest in its
history, and numerous applicants
who will be accommodated as soon

Hurrah, for the A. and M.! She
will soon stand equal in number
with State University.

Japhet’s speech: “I don’t want

major, and lead the A. and M.
band.”
