Mary Carson-Kiddtfor an engage

may well look forward to the great
est treat. It m^y safely be as.sert-
ed that never before has a singer of
snob note been heard here on the
campus. Goldmark, the distin-
gufshed lecturer on music, says of
Miss Kidd’s voice: l ‘She has the
richest notes I ever heard from a
coloratura soprano.”- Thfs is suf
ficient guarantee, but the verdict of
the students of the University of
Virginia will appeal more strongly

favor of establishing
A. 4i M. College in
The News quotes l>r
following words: ^ j
“I indorse the view many times ex*-
pressed that the number of pupils at
an educational institution maybe too
large to produce the best results. 1
, think that if would not be wti to en
large the present A. and M. College
' at its home location. Besides the
reasonable objection to large numbers
the accessibility and the agricultural
conditions should receive careful at
tention. We have in the immediate
section in w^ich Dallas is (situated
ideal conditions for a branch of the
A. and M. College.
“AH favorable aonditioos exist a^
Arlington- -accessibility, suitable mm I,
good health conditions and good cli-
^ mate conditions. So 1 desire‘to pu|
Arlington before the public fori such
branch of the A. and M. CdlflHj
i This suggestion is made in the
of the State and orte of her great
i sticutious and our people would be
(pleased to see The News continue it*
efficient efforts for better agrarultural
conditions (by oiwning its columns to
a discussion of this matter.’*
To us it seetas that some year* will
pass before anyone need 'say that “it
would not be wise to enlarge the pres
ent A. & M. Co! ege at it* home lo-
I cation.'' The Aj A M. College is
centrally situated In the statin to be
gin with, and the accessibility of Col-
. lege Station is qiutu as good .as that
of Arlingtoh. A* to “the reasonable
objection to large humberv” we may
staty that a college with five hundred
students is largely to be considered as
possessed of a large enrollment.
When A. N M. has five thousand
. students, perhaps Texas maj reason
ably ththk. of establishing a branch
somewhere, but not till thep. !
I ;] Arlington it/ doubtless biassed in
many ways, but all the favorable con
ditions as enumerated by Dr. Carlisle
are ai«*> found at College Station.
| i Our soil is very probably not as good
.as that found at Arlington, but * rich
spil is hardly necessary lor experiment
<Kofk.
We a rex cost vi need of the Einrenty
of Dr. Carlisle in his si^ggestiiith, but
we believe That in establishing
branch A. & M. .College, especially
at th» time, Texas would make a
huge mistake. Our idea is to have
one great institution at College btx-
tion, with as many stations to carry
on experiment work in gifforent parts
at the state as are required. This
opinion is by no means original with
t i us, b«l.ts held by nearly every person
who understands and apprecintes the
work and scope at the A. Sc M. Col-

Topict. of that institution, on Dec

The Arcadians lived up t© their
usual- reputation, so far as the
quality of their entertainments
goes, vyhen they presented Miss
M*ry Carson-Kidd, last Friday,
before an enthusiastic audience .as
sembled in Madison Hall. Prob
ably never before has an entertain
ment !been given hexe that received
such universal praise, and never
before has a singef equal to Miss
Mary Caraon-Kidd been beard by a
gathering at the. unigersity. Her
voice was sweet and clear, and her
range remarkable. In fact, from
the time she appeared until the
end, she was encored after every
■election, and held her hearers' un
divided attention.
