This is a gain of thirty students over the entire enrollment of last year. There are ninety-five Seniors, twenty more than the class of last year, which was the largest in the history of the College. Of the Freshman Class of 214 over 150 are new stu dents. The attendance for the pre paratory classes has fallen off con siderably, the greater number of stu dents being in the regular college years. PLEA FOR PEACE AT CHAPEL. It will he remembered that some time ago President Wilson issued a proclamation setting apart Oct 4th as a day for prayer fo universal peace. This day was observed in a fitting manner at A. & M. at the morning chapel service. Rev. Dr. Ray of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church Bryan, offered a very forcible prayer, which was very appropriate to the oc casion and then delivered a sermon, the main theme of which was the uni versal brotherhood of man and the need for the exertion of the best efforts of each individual of the race toward the cessation of strife among his fel- lowmen. T. E. SOCIETY REORGANIZES. A special meeting of the Textile Engineering Society was called Mon day night, Oct. 5, for the purpose of electing officers. The following offi cers were elected: J. F. Browder, Jr., president; H. E. Runge, vice-president; E. C. Teurpe, secretary, and R. S. Williams, treas urer and reporter.

The regular meeting nights will be on the first and third Wednes days of each month and we sincerely hope to have an interesting program each time.
