THK BATTALION. in-chief; M. S. Church, assistant editor-in- chief; C. O. Moser, business manager; J. Eh Wilson, assistant business manager; W. Maxwell, literary editor: Burt B. Hull, athletic editor, and G. H. Pape, local and exchange editor. These young men have all been on the staff this year, and have worked earnestly and faithfully in the in terest of the Battalion, and there is no doubt that when, in September, they as sume control of the paper that the corps will get a good magazine. The lecture given to the agricultural students by Uncle Dick Bonner, May 21, was such as no agricultural student could afford to have absented himself from. With the experience of a lifetime to enforce his words, he told some marvelous stories of production in the garden of Eden. It was not until this day the A. and M. cadets were almost forced to admit that the ruins of this great garden can now be found in the eastern part of our great state. We regret that the remainder of the corps did not get to hear him. His earnestness of speech and inspiring manner make him a very interesting lecturer, and we hope that he shall be with us again. The lecture given by Mr. Dick Bonner of East Texas finishes the series of lectures arranged by the Agricultural department. We, the students of agriculture, feeling that this series of lectures has been one of the greatest factors in our course towards preparing us for future combating with the trials of life, wish very much to thank the president of the College, Profs. Gibbs, Johnston, Kyle and all the gentlemen who 15 so willingly related some of their experi ences to us in order that we might be bene- fitted thereby. We further hope that this lecture course system shall be continued 111 the future. To the class of ’03, who are now facing the world, we, the class of ’04, who are facing our senior year, extend our fondest hopes. We sincerely hope that your lives will be crowned with a bright success. We feel that our lives have been greatly en lightened by our acquaintance with you, and we expect to hold out your college ca reer as an example by which we may learn to appropriate our invaluable college mo ments to the best advantage. ’04 The C.
