THE SECOND FLOOD.
St. Edward’s College of Austin has
a cracking good ball team and played
a strong game Friday against A. & M.
College. To a great extent it was a
pitchers’ battle, but enough balls went
across the infield to give the players
work and to show that both teams
were tuned up for fast,
work. Honors were even between i
Moore and Taylor on strikeouts, get
ting eight men each. In the matter
of hits, however, the Farmers got two
off Taylor, while the visitors scored
but one on Moore, but each of the
three hits of the game was a clean
one. There were few bobbles during
the game. Both teams put up a good
article of ball. Except for the two
scores crossing the plate in the sixth
for the Farmers, it was almost a one,
two, three and out game. In the
Last Sunday night between 8 and 9
o’clock there was a startling crash
and Sunday schools we involuntarily
attended.
As we view the present Freshman
Class we wonder how we could have
somewhere on the campus, which | been so meek, and what influences
aroused everyone and sent them to | made us so obliging. We see them
the windows to see if either old Bat j taking privileges that we did not at-
Roost or the M. E. Building had crum- | tain until our Sophomore year, and
we realize that the abolishment of
hazing is responsible for it. Hazing
in its milder forms that makes the
Freshman see his true position and
not try to take privileges that belong
to the upper classmen only, is the
kind of hazing we do not wish to see
entirely wiped out. When the time
arrives that the Freshman will share
all privileges with the upper classmen
the present state of good will between
them will be destroyed and college
life will be robbed of one of its oldest
and dearest characteristics.

This tank was 12 feet' in diameter,
14 feet high, and had a capacity of
5000 gallons. At the time of the col
lapse the tank contained about 3000
gallons of water. The pressure of the
water made a break in a weak seam
and in a twinkling the whole tank
ripped apart and came crashing to
the ground. In going down it carried
with it one end of a frame addition
that had been built to the laundry. R.

W. A. Trenckmann, president of the
board of directors of the college, was
a visitor to the campus last week.
President Trenckmann made this
visit to the campus in order to inform
himself of the conditions as they ex
ist. He visited classrooms, called on
the head of each department, asked
questions, and in every way informed
i himself so that he could act intelli-

j effort had been made to put down
j hazing, and our expectations of a

, We soon became accomplished bag-

' built up of ourselves as college boys,
i before leaving home, were rudely de

were only insignificant “Fish,” and ! course, was the first son of

Friday he had Herbert M. Pool,
H. J. Kelly and C. H. Forsgard as
guests at dinner and with them talked
over the affairs of the cadets. Satur
day before leaving he dined with Col.
R. T. Milner, president.
Mr. Trenckmann graduated here in
1878. He is publisher of the leading
German newspaper of Texas now, the
Wachenblatt of Austin. His son, R.

that for
ileges—that—we—ba-d—enjoyed
school. We heartily disliked the more
active of the old boys, little realizing
that they would be our best friends in
the years of college life to follow. We
were told how much worse hazing
had been formerly and we fortified
ourselves with the thought that if the
“Fish” of those times could stand
theirs we could surely stand ours.
Time wore on and we became Soph
omores. As the new “Fish” began to
arrive on the campus we saw how
badly we needed what we had re
ceived, and perhaps more, but we had
resolved to begin the stamping out of
the more extreme forms of hazing and
contented ourselves with teaching
them a few necessary lessons and
telling them what we had endured.
NEW POSTMASTER.
Mr. R. R. Royall has been appointed
postmaster at College Station and now
has charge of all the campus mail
matter.
Mr. Royall has served as assistant
postmaster for the past twenty-five
years and is fully qualified to hold
this position. There has long been
need of better service in handling
mail matter, and it is to be hoped
that this step will insure prompt and
careful distribution.
