Address all communications to Business
Manager.
A box, similar to the mail box, has
been placed in the hall of Main Building
for the convenience of those who wish to
contribute to the columns of the Bat
talion. When in class room, or on cam
pus, and you see a chance for an inter
esting “local” or “write-up,” write it up
and drop it in the box, before you forget
it.
There are many boys in the corps who
are in possession of facts concerning
amusing incidents that have happened at
College during the past few years, which
if written up would prove very interest
ing to the corps and make the Battalion
a very welcome visitor each month.
Reminiscences of college life or any
story that may be contributed will be
illustrated where it is possible to do so.
Everybody, students and professors
alike, are asked to help fill the box in
Main Building each month. All matter
must be in by the 20th of each month
to insure its appearing in the Battalion
for that month.

The A. and M. Record, a quarterly
published by the Alumni Association of
the A. and M. College, made its appear
ance for the first time a few days ago.
The Record is a very interesting paper,
well gotten up, and deserves the support
of the alumni, students, and friends of
the College.
The Battalion welcomes it and wishes
it much success.
