HORT. MEETING.
SENIORS GUESTS OF COL. E. B.
CUSHING.
Report Splendid Time—Received Val
uable Knowledge and Enjoyed
Splendid Dinner.
The senior C. E.’s visited Caldwell
Wednesday to inspect some of the
const) action work carried on there by
the Bouston and Texas Central Rail
road. They were the guests of Col.
E. B. Cushing, ’99, of Houston, who
is chief engineer of the Southern Pa
cific lines. They left College at 7 a. m.
and found nine autos waiting for them
in Bryan. O. F. Forsgard, ’05, put a
box of cigars in each car, then led
the hunch off for Caldwell. Jack An
derson drove one car and Waters an
other. When about four miles from
Bryan Jack’s Lozier began to mis
behave, then gave a snort, plunged
into a deep ditch, and turned turtle.
No one was hurt, however. Jack was
pinned under the steering wheel,
Bourland bent up one of the fenders-
pretty badly with his head, Spence
nearly knocked the wheel off, while
Schroeter and Sayers landed to
gether on Bourland. These unfor
tunates were put into other cars and
the party proceeded. The roads were
bad, but the party arrived at the
lower camp about 10 a. m. where a
large bridge is being constructed
across the Brazos. Mr. Forsgard is
the big gun there, and he explained
all the abutments, piers, pits, etc.,
and showed the party all over camp.
The bunch arrived at the upper camp
about 2 p. m. Here they met H. Mar
tin, ’95, who is chief of construction
at this camp, and is a prince to the
letter. He was “bull”.here at College
in ’98, and he can still sling military.
J. D. Metcalfe, ’06, resident engineer;
Mistrot and Schlom, T2, rodmen, were
also there.
But that dinner—turkey, oysters,
cakes, pies, salads, etc. The cookie
told one senior that Professor Richie
ate four pieces of cake and two pies
after the rest had left. The spread
was engineered by Mr. Prentiss, the
abutment contractor, and his treat
will long be remembered by all.
The party then went to the K. of
P. hall, where some played pool,
others billiards, and dominoes. Then
they went to the opera house, where
Mayor Gray, Mr. Alexander, and
others welcomed the party. A beauti
ful duet was rendered by two Caldwell
young ladies. The seniors returned to
the lodge room where a group of
young ladies were waiting to receive
them. Professor Spence came near
getting in bad by telling the party
they would have to depart soon as it
was getting late. It was hard to leave
such friends, but the whole crowd was
invited over again, and they will prob
ably repeat the trip some time in
Februai’y.
In all the trip was a decided suc
cess. Everyone was as hospitable as
could be, and the whole party spent
a very enjoyable day.
