ITie college has been hampered
miserably hampered,” said Mr. Law
“ever since it was organized. And
the trouble has bee n lack of funds.
It has been enabled to more liberal
support than it (has received at the
'hands of the legislature. (Jo there
now and you will find boys three and
four in a room, ^vhen your own ex
perience and judgment tells you that!
<wo in a room is all that can be per
mitted If the best results in studying
are to be secured. Not only that,
but the campus'is studded with tents.
Fellows come to he admitted, the
dormitories are all filled and there is
no place for them, hut they persist
that they must come to college. So
theTents wefie put up and there they
are camping out to get the advantage
of the collegf. ' I
CONDITION SHAMEFUL.
"That's a shame. Such a condi
tion ought not to exist; Here is Tex
as, a great, rich and magnificent com
monwealth. There as the Agricul
tural and Mechanical college, the
only industrial school of its kind
the State, and yet scores of young
men are being turned away from its
doors yearly because of a niggardly
appropriation. 'ITieTe are not the
{facilities^ for them. There is not the
dormi|pry room.
■*Prpsid«w* Harrington is asking for
some ipecific things f(om the present
legislature. I think he is extremely
modest in his 'requests, comparing
what he is asking for with what is
needed at the college. But - he says
he ha* confined himself to the needs
that ate imperative, and here they are:
Two ' dormitories, an engineering

Mr. Law urged the young men of
the Harris county club that the thing
for them to do is to prtseAt the needs
of the college to the Harris county
