The Battalion. (College Station, Tex.) 1893-current, December 01, 1903, Image 43
THE BATTALION 39 T. R. Batle, Jr., holds a position in Arizona, where he is helping to superintend the construction of an electric railroad. It is in one of the roughest places of the country. Batle is a member of class ’02. W. H. Tilson ’03, is still enjoying his days at the home ot his father. The rumor of his marriage was nothing but flattery. R. Ross ’02, is employed as levelman in a locating party in Mexico. R. L. Alexander will probably return to the A. & M. dur ing the year of ’04-05, to take post-graduate work in Civil Engineering. Mr. W. W. Lillard was recently chosen Literary Editor of the Battalion, Mr. Maxwell having resigned. Mr. J. R. Tabor is now Assistant Literary Editor. The reputation of these new editors for literary work is among the best at College, and we expect much from their department. In the Texas Club of Cornell University eight of the eighteen members are A. & M. men, five are ’Varsity men and two hail from Georgetown. H. F. Mathews is at Batson Prairie, employed as in strument man by J. M. Guffey Co. of Beaumont. He says: “When we first drove up to Batson Prairie, a single derrick was the only thing in sight. We went out into the woods, ran a line back on the prairie and found three tents. We haven’t been here three weeks and now the place boasts of ten rigs and about seven hundred people.”
