SENIOR PRIVATES ENTERTAIN.
Wingless Angels Treat Officers to a Good
Time.
Last Saturday night the senior offi
cers were magnificently entertained at
the Senior hall by the Senior Privates.
By nine o’clock the boys were all
gathered in the hall about tables, play
ing various parlor games.
At about half past nine, cake and
punch were served freely, then came
the smoking. Box full after box of
ceived a well merited promotion, j cigars were passed around. Due re-

Ten o’clock and nobody had
thought of leaving. A kangaroo court
was organized and one of the mem
bers of the class was tried for alienat
ing the affections of a classmate from
some other classmates. He happily
was cleared of the charge, and all was
well.
In the meantime the Senior quar
tette, Bivins, Thompson, Underwood
and Boyce gave the boys some of their
best music, and finally at the close of
the night’s festivities, Wessendorf and
Thompson gave them two or three
guitar and mandolin selections which
were very sweet.
At twelve they all dispersed, feeling
more like brothers than ever before. It
is a true saying that the class of ’07 is
a unit.

An Elegant Spread and Some Notable
Addresses by President Harrington
and Others.
The Brazos County A. and M.
College Club banquet, held last
night at the California Restaurant
in this city, was a notable gather
ing of members of the Alumni As
sociation and former students, and
the outgrowth of the activity of the
Alumni association, under the lead
ership of its president, says the
Bryan Eagle. Mr. F. M. Law, in
carrying out the plans determined
upon some time ago for organizing
A. and M. College Clubs through
out the state to the end that unit
ed efforts may be put forth in be
half of the college. As heretofore
noted, this work has progressed
satisfactorily and clubs have been
formed in nearly all the leading
cities of the state, while others are
in contemplation.
The arrangements for the ban
quet were made by a committee
composed of Robt. W. Howell, O.
E. Saunders, Dr. Joe Gilbert and
R. J. Potts. Dr. Gilbert officiated
as toastmaster with characteristic
grace and ready address. The
tables were handsomely laid with
covers for thirty-five.
It was a matter of much regret
that the members of the legislature
who were expected, as announced
n the Eagle yesterday morning,
could not attend. Representative j
Davis telephoned yesterday after- '
noon that on account of their duties
there, it was impossible for them to
be here. He added the gratifying
information, however, that he was
authorized by the other three gen
tlemen to say, and joined them in
the statement, that they would do
all in their power to carry out any
reasonable demand of the Alumni
in behalf of the A. and M.
Dr. H. H. Harrington, president
of the College, was the guest of the
Club, and spoke in detail of the
needs of the College. His long
familiarity with the institution and
comprehensive grasp of all its func
tions and purposes enables him to
present these needs in a clear and
forceful way that cannot fail to
carry conviction.
Other good speeches were made,
notably those of Mr. Law, Prof.
Kyle, Mr. Watkins and Mr. Wip-
precht, to whom were assigned im
portant subjects. There were num
erous timely and valuable sugges
tions made to the end of advancing
the interests of the College. Seve
ral of the speakers indulged in bits
of humor, and the heartiest good
fellowship prevailed. The import
ance of extending the club work
was emphasized, and Mr. Law re
ported about ten clubs organized to
date. Toasts to the College and to
President Harrington, proposed by
Dr. Gilbert, were responded to by
all present standing.
A short business session was held
and Prof. A. Mitchell read the con
stitution and by-laws of the club
which were adopted.
A vote of thanks was extended
to Mr. R. W. Howell and his asso
ciates of the arrangement commit
tee for their eminently successful
services.

THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’
STOCK JUDGING CONTEST
NEXT DECEMBER.
It may be of interest to state at
this time something in regard to
the annual stock judging contest at
the International Students’ Judg
ing Contest at Chicago next Decem
ber. This is a test of the efficiency
of the college instruction, as well
as the quality of the men. Each
Agricultural College of the United
States and Canada is allowed to be
represented by a team of five men.
Each team is allowed to pass judg
ment, and give reasons for same,
on different classes of livestock.
The team scoring the highest num
ber of points, compared with the
official judge report, is awarded a
magnificent bronze tropy in the
form of a statues of a bull and a
horse valued at more than a thous
and dollars.
Our C ollege has put out a team
for the past three years, and it is a
significant fact that although the
equipment for instructions here in
this department is quite meager,
we have won a high place in the
contest every year. Last j^ear we
stood highest as judges of swine
and had the highest scoring man,
while this year we came within a
few points of winning the grand
horse trophy.
We must remember that in this
work we not only represent our
college in our State, but that we
also represent our college and state
among all the colleges and states in
the whole United States and Canada.
To a great extent we represent the
live stock industry of the South as
Texas is the only State which has
yet sent a team for the competition.
It is of the utmost importance
that every fellow begin now to try
for the team as a man can only
serve on the team once. Let every
one do his best to fit a team and
next year, right after our physical
victories in foot ball, we will go
north and show our sister States
what we are doing for mental de
velopment. That $700 trophy
would be nice to show to visitors.
