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
