THE BATTALION.

instructors would help us there is no
doubt but what a good record would be
established—that no one but honora
ble, upright and conscientious gentle
men would be allowed at the A. & M.
of Texas.

On Friday evening, March 17th, the
Corps of Cadets and the College Com
munity were treated to one of the most
pleasant entertainments it has been our
good fortune to attend. We allude to
the amateur concert under the direc
tion and management of Mrs. J. G.
Harrison. The persons participating
were the ladies and gentlemen of the
campus, known for their musical at
tainments, assisted by Mrs. W. S. Wil
son and Mrs. Webb Howell of Bryan.
Every number of the programme was
delightfully rendered, calling for en
cores which were graciously responded
to by the recipients. Mrs. Wilson, in
response to an encore, gave an instru
mental medley, closing with “Dixie
Variations,” which captured the boys.
Mrs. Webb Howell gave for her first
number “For All Eternity,” and in res
ponse to an encore completely took us
off our feet with “Telegraph My Baby.”
Miss Rita Sbisa and Miss Giesecke
‘treated us to “Lutspiel’s Overture,” and
Mrs. Giesecke sang a German song
which was so captivating in its music
that all of us were anxious to hear it
in English. Prof. Atwood’s bass solo
was fine and the quartette composed of
Messrs. Kerr, Brittle, Atwood and Bee-
man gave some of the prettiest music of
the evening. We do not wish to be
accused of partiality if we happen to
give a large amount of praise to Prof.
Miller. The boys showed their appre
ciation of his presence and his part of
the performance in a manner very
complimentary to the Professor. And
h© deserved it. In his appearance he
was greeted with applause and he
closed with applause, and when he ren
dered “Call Me Thine Own” with the
expression that the beautiful music is
capable of, the fine tones of his good
cornet made the “kids” wild with en
thusiasm.

Ask Hudgins W. how it feels to take
an ice cold bath and then not get to go.
We advise the gentlemen who have
been “going to the ball” on Saturday
night to remain at home hereafter.
It is time to elect our committees
for the commencement exercises. Eet's
us get out an A1 invitation and an
excellent programme.
For information about “peach pre
serves” ask K. K. Hooper and the re
mainder of our young instructors.
Could Tilson analyze it?
Quite a crowd of “our boys” went to
Galveston to see the best of our na
tion’s great men-of-war, and to take in
the “Island City.” Some have returned
and report the greatest of great times.
We are indeed sorry to report the
serious illness of Cadet Greeves. He is
at home sick with pneumonia. It is
earnestly hoped that he will soon re
cover and return as we wish to have
him back with us.
Col. Edmunds’ lecture the night of
March 3rd. was enjoyed by a large
number of students. The Colonel is a
very interesting and enthusiastic
speaker, and his stories are greatly en
joyed by everyone. Hope to hear you
again, Colonel.
Cadets Elrod and Shaw visited Col
umbus on Washington’s birthday. They
left silently and returned promptly.
Elrod seemed very much improved by
the trip, but Shaw, for some reason,
