Headquarters Corps of Cadets, College Station, Texas, May 29, 1904. [Continued from page 2] rise to the highest standard. There is another way the squad can be helped, that is, by the Com pany teams showing a willingness to give up men for training. Any spirit otherwise is a plain, unpard onable stroke at our College team. It is hoped that no trouble will come from this source. Kvery enterprise which gains success must receive financial sup port, and so with our football team. It must have funds, and heretofore the Cadets have con tributed liberally to its support, and with the present body of stud ents no fear is had of such funds failing to continue. Arrangements have been made so that the players can have such food as is best for their pt^sical development. The men are parti} 1 - indebted to the Cadets for this chalice to perfect themseives, and they should feel it a duty to the Corps to go in training—not once violating the rules which the Cap tain and Coach may give. The student body should firmly den and dissipation of any kind to stop. Any failure of the men—in train ing—to do their duty is showing no appreciation for the costly ad vantages given them. With the proper support and training the material at practice will develop, and a champion team can be had which will gain victory and honors for the College. If ev ery Cadet will do all in his power to advance the interest of the foot ball team, a successful season will result. Class Officers. At a meeting of the Senior class the following officers were elected : Marion S. Cf rch, president; Henry B. Farmer, vice-president; Howard E. Hanna, secretary; D. E. Pendleton, treasurer; Thos. C. Born, historian; Will A. Price, sergeant. At the same meeting, the Senior class elected D. E. Pendleton as manager of the Longhorn. ~Last Tuesday night the Junior class elected the following officers: Jas. S. Dean, j^resident; Nolan R. ^ Crooks, vice-president; Robt. W. ^ Hofmann, secretary; Jno. H. Pirie, treasurer; Andrew P. Rollins, ser geant at arms; Lawrence Reese, athletic manager. The officers of the Sophomore class are as follows: Coney Uncas Wood man, president; H. A. Gripon, vice- president; Fritz Hensil Jr., secre tary; W. B. Wortham, treasurer; A. T. Potts, historian; Walter Kreu- eer, sergeant at arms; Warren A. Gilbert, athletic manager. (Special Order No. 39.) For the information of the Corps of Cadets, the following additions, corrections and changes in the Rules and Regulations having been approved by the Faculty, are pub lished. On page 15, paragraph S9, strike out all after the word “compa nies.” On page 52 add the following: ‘ ‘Article 5a—The regular drill shall be suspended from December 1st to March 1st; but in the interim the Commandant is authorized to have dress parade or inspection on drill days if the weather is suit able.” Change Section 1, Article 8, page 40, to read as follows: “Graduate studies in the Agri cultural Course shall lead to the degree of Master of Science (M. -S.); in the Engineering Courses there shall be a fifth year, the work of which shall lead to the de gree of Civil Engineer (C. E.); Mechanical Engineer (M. E.); Electrical Engineer (E. E.); Tex tile Engineer (T. E.). These courses to be open to graduates of this College or of other institutions approved by the Faculty. Section 4 of Article 8 shall apply to stud ents in these courses.” Page 40, Article 4, Section 1, add: “The Spring term examina tions for the Senior Class shall end one week before Commence ment.” Change Section 3, • Article 8, page 40, to read: “Graduate stud ents shall give continued satisfac tion in their studies and shall be under the general regulations of the College, but shall not be re quired to drill.” Attention is invited to the fol lowing.action of the Faculty: “During each year discipline shall count as a study, and shall be given the weight of a separate department. The same percent ages will be required in discipline in the different classes as is re quired in other studies. The markings in discipline will be made on a basis of 100. For the Seniors 2 demerits shall count as one point, for the Juniors 3 demer its, for the Sophomores 4 demerits, and for the Freshmen 5 demerits. Thus a Senior having 40 demerits for the year would be marked 80 per cent in discipline; a freshman having 40 demerits would be mark ed 92 per cent in discipline. The limit of demerits, therefore, of a student making a proficient mark in discipline would be for the Sen iors, 60; for the Juniors, 90; for the Sophomores, 136; and for the Freshmen, 170. A student deficient in discipline may in the next year have placed to his credit the difference between the number of demerits received that year and the maximum num ber allowed him for making a pro ficient mark, and such credits may be used in removing past deficien cies in discipline. Also the surplus credits obtained in any month as a result of applying Section 3, Ar ticle 6, not used to remove demer its in that month, may pass to his credit and be used towards remov ing past deficiences of preceding year. Class standing in discipline and other studies wall be published yearly for each class. The above action of the Faculty takes effect beginning with the Fall term of 1904. By order of Captain Sargent, (Signed) Thos. W. Blake, 1 st Eieut. and Adjutant. The following table shows the number of permissible demerits al lowed each Cadet of the various classes to make passable grades, the Seniors and Juniors being re- ing required to make a grade of 70 per cent; the Sophomores and Freshmen a grade of 65 percent: Senior Fall 24 Winter 18 Spring 18 Year 60 Junior 30 30 24 90 Sophomores 54.4 40.8 40.8 136 Freshmen 68 51 51 170 To illustrate A Senior who during the Fall tenH^ff^oe credited with a grade cf 70, and i mrked passed; a Jun ior who gets 36 demerits will like wise get 70 per cent and pass; a Sophomore who gets 54.4 demerits during the Fall term will be cred ited with a grade of 66, and marked passed; a Freshman who gets 68 demerits will likewise get a grade of 66 and pass. MATRICULATION OF THE COLLEGE. This 5 7 ear’s matriculation is in ev ery respect the most satisfactory the College has ever had. More than 405 men presented themselves for enrollment before Tuesday, October 4th. This number was greater than the College could accommodate with due respect for comfort, order and discipline. It became necessary to reject some of the applicants. In addition the President was com pelled to write to a number of appli cants tor the freshman class who had not presented themselves that there was no room for them. Some of the old students have not report ed yet, but have indicated their in tention of doing so, and a few appli cants had their names entered on the rolls some weeks ago. These will be received as they come. The Agriculture department has 100 men on the ground who are tak ing the agriculture course; these are bona fide applicants for agriculture. In former years the freshman agri culture class included a large num ber of students who were not bona fide applicants for agriculture, but who could not enter the engineering courses. Now the freshman agri culture students are on the same footing as the engineering as re gards preparation, and have entered with the sole desire of pursuing ag riculture work. The agriculture senior class will number about 20 men. This will make one of the largest graduating classes in agri culture in the country. It is note worthy that most of the higher of ficers of the corps belong to this class. The freshman engineering class embraces applicants for all lines of engineering and numbers 124 men. The various engineering depart ments are all well represented among this number. The three higher classes in civil engineering number 77 men; the three higher in electrical engineering, 27; in me chanical and textile engineering, 37; the electives and special industrial students number 14. Six or eight other students are on the grounds, but have not completed their regis tration. The number of graduate students who have presented themselves for advanced work is larger than usual. The return of these men is gratify ing to the college community, and evidences an appreciation on the part of these men of the necessity for advanced training and also of the facilities of the College. Perhaps the most noticeable sin gle fact connected with the matricu lation is the much greater average maturity of the freshman class. A very large per cent of the class ranges in age from 18 to 24, and there are members of the class whose age exceeds the latter figures considerably. Another interesting fact is the number of mature stud ents who have come here from Mexi co and States of the United States adjoining Texas for special work in agriculture and engineering. The large number of students registering for electrical engineering evidences the wisdom of the authorities in making further provisions for this important field. A number of stud ents have already indicated their in tention of taking textile engineer ing, and when the department is fully equipped for work others will undoubtedly follow suit. On account of the increased ma turity, experience and training of the members of the corps, we may confidently count upon even a more serious and student-like spirit in the college than we have had heretofore. The men who have come here have all put away child ish things and intend to do the work of men.~ C- c. SHELfiUfiN© LIVERY MD FEED Exclusively for White Patronage. TERMS STRICTLY CASH.
