A. AND M. EXHIBIT SUCCESSFUL.
Made Great Hit at Southeast Texas
Fair at Beaumont.
The A. and M. exhibit at the South
east Texas Fair held at Beaumont
was a revelation to many people in
the coast country. Little did the peo
ple know of the workings of A. and M.
Much attention and interest was
drawn toward the Textile Depart
ment. After a journey through the
tent one man was heard to remark:
“I did not know that they did any of
that kind of work down there. The
workmanship is as good as any tex
tile mill can put out.” This remark
is only a sample of the many made
after a journey through the exhibit.
One thing that went to make the ex
hibit a success was the extreme cour
tesy and attention shown all visitors
by Messrs. Rosa and Pearce.
Many questions were asked on the (
preserves, as to who put them up, do
they teach that kind of thing at your
school, and how did they do it. Mr.
Rosa was kept extremely busy an
swering all the questions asked him.
When asked what he thought of the
fair, Mr. Rosa said: “I am highly
pleased with the interest shown in
our line, and the stock exhibited was
the best I have seen in many a day.
I saw Professor Templeton scratch
his head and think a few minutes
over the placing of some of the
classes. This was especially so in
one class. I don’t see, at least I did
not know that there were such fine
animals in this part of the country.”
Mr. Pearce was taken over the
town by Mr. Smythe of the asphalt
company, and taken out to the works
and shown around. Mr. Pearce was
high in his praise of the asphalt
streets and shell roads.
It is to be deplored that the tent
was not large enough to hold the en
tire exhibit, but what was out made
quite a hit and won many new' friends
for old A. and M. To know us is to
like us, and Messrs. Rosa and Pearce
w r ere the men to represent us in en
terprise.
C. E. SOCIETY MEETS.
Decided to Have Fobs Instead of
Pins.
The second meeting of the Civil
^ Engineering Society w'as held Tues-
,day night, November 26. The society
met at that time instead of the reg
ular time on account of the Thanks
giving hop the following Friday
night.
After the meeting had been called
to order by the president the minutes
of the preceding meeting were read.
The question was brought up whether
the members of the society wanted
pins or fobs. The society decided to
have fobs. A motion that the presi
dent appoint a committee to select or
design several different fobs was
made and carried. The president ap
pointed A. F. Sayers as chairman of
the committee.
T. R. Spence, chairman of the com
mittee to frame up a constitution for
the society, read the constitution that
he had prepared, and after a few |
changes were made it was accepted
by the society.
Professor Spence delivered an ad
dress to the society on the many dif
ferent kinds of problems that an en
gineer may be called on to solve,
giving as an example a case from his
own experience. His address was en
joyed by everyone present.
The C. E.’s are taking much inter
est in the society now' and the indica
tions are that the society will be a
great success this year.
