They h«14 a meeting Monday night and elected the following officers: Kditor-in-Cbief, Rudolph; Ah-i^t- aut-Hditor-in Chief, Weinert; Hodal Editor, Terneauxt Athletic Editor, Dalmey; Y. M. C. A. Editor, Siigel; and Exchange Ivditor. Harris. D. We expect a great deal of the Sophs., for they are supposed to have abaorbed some of the dignity and learning of the upper classes, and we predict a good paper, from . theoi. setting forth the amount neei for new buildings, improvements and maintenance for another taro years. A careful reading of this report diadoaes two significant facts to the credit of the adminis tration nod'er Doctor Harrington— first, that the appropriations made by the last legislature have been expanded with the greatest care and economy for the best interests of the jjiastitntion and its students; secondly, that the amounts asked of the present legislature are so reasonable and the urgent need of every sdm so clearly set forth that there should be uo hesitancy in ap propriating all or even more than is as^ced. The entire showing of for the past two years the stamp of fidelity to this trust and ability and superior t in its execution. There shadow of extravagance, ness or corruption, every chRr- of improvement for which money was expended i» clearly Set forth, the progress, increase in at- tendjance, widening field of activi ties. new buildings and new depart ments needed, are all dealt with in that clear, concise and convincing wayi whjch carries ► convict ion that a Kctiuiae love of the great trust committed to them actuates the men in charge of this institutidc. Sonfe of the amounts asked for may appear ;at first glance large, but when considered in connection with the (fast: increasing demand for the technical training of yonng men— much greater than ever before and far in excess of existing room and equipment to meet it—they will look really small, if Texas is'to keep abreast of progress and have lives P, H.

They' were driven over the grounds and con* ducted through the various depart ments, accompanied by President Harrington and Major L. L. Me in n is, member of the board of directors. . j They also saw the dairy and dairy herd and other live stock, investigated cotton breeding, the textile engineering work and the department of entomology. They visited the mess hall and inspected the meats and cooking and were well pleased with the T food sup plied to the corps. They were emphatic in their ex pressions that the College needs all and more than the authorities are asking for, and seemed perfectly satisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the institution are be ing conducted. The visit to the overcrowded de partments disclosed the pressing need for an engineering building, and the visitors said they needed ao farther evidence than the tents On the campus to prove the need of additional barracks.

Commercial, manufacturing and other enterprises in which many men cooperate, are managed more and more by delegating all important decisions to a few men whose judgment has been trained through long experience, study and observation in those matters which they are called upon to decide.
