Bishop Mouzon Would Make Southern
Methodist University Great School
of M. E. Church, South.
Dallas, Tex., Jan. 21.—The Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, has
lost Vanderbilt University. The Meth
odists of the South now have no uni
versity. The foundations of a great
university have been laid here. Del:
us have a redhot campaign during
February, March and April to raise
$1,000,000 to make the Southern Meth
odist University of Dallas the greatest
educational institution on the conti
nent.—Bishop E. D. Mouzon of Dallas
This plea was made by Bishop Mou
zon at a conference yesterday for de
ciding finally the details of the sub
scription campaign when three minis
ters, Rev. Hubert Knickerbocker o
Temple, Rev. J. Young of Ennis and
Dr. J. T. 'Griswold of Sweetwater
Avanted a smaller sum as an objective
Appeals for heroic denominational
faith and work on this final struggle
to make the great school at Dallas an
actual reality were made by Bishop
Mouzon, Dr. H. S. Hyer and Bursar
Frank. Reedy.
Plans were laid for the campaign
and decided on. The months listed
in the foregoing will mark the life of
the campaign with $1,000,000 as the
objective.
Tavo great buildings have already
been completed for the university,
which will open next September.
S. A. A. NOTES.
Dr. Bradford Knapp, special agent
in charge of farm demonstration
work, United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C., ad
dressed the S. A. A. Society last
Thursday night in chapel. Dr. Knapp
spoke of the extension work, telling
of the wonderful progress it has made,
and pointing out the splendid oppor
tunities offered to agricultural grad
uates in this work. Many were en
thused.
The S. A. A. Society meets in chapel
every other Thursday night at 7:30,
and all agricultural students will
profit by attending these meetings.
Time to begin looking nice if you
expect to “go high” next year. Get
a ticket and let the A. & M. Pressing
Club give you nine presses for $1.
A group of cadets copying their
schedules from the bulletin board fell
to discussing the Wednesday after
noon chapel, which they found record
ed there. Said one of them, “I am
not going to that—I am going to drop
it.”
A young lady is very proud of the
B. A. tacked on to her name up her
graduation from college, but she is
much prouder of the additional B. Y.
she acquires soon after marriage.—

NOT WHAT WAS MEANT.
Dr. Bradford Knapp in his recent
visit here told the following story:
Once before an Arkansas audience
the chairman of the occasion prefaced
his introduction by saying the human
race was supposed to be descended
from apes, which all persons knew to
be very hairy, hence Dr. Knapp must
be further advanced than the rest of
us since he has no hair at all on his
head.
When Dr. Knapp arose to speak he
remarked that he had been introduced
in many ways, but that this was the
first time that he had ever been pre
sented as a hairless ape.

DONE BY THE TYPES.
Newspaper compositors and men
who edit copy, no matter how eagle-
eyed they may be, sometimes allow
errors to get by that are either laugh
able or humiliating. The Chicago
Tribune, in reporting a political meet
ing, said that the vast audience rent
the air with their snouts. Another
Chicago paper reported that the pro
peller Alaska was leaving port with
a cargo of 40,000 bushels of cats. A
Buffalo paper, in describing the scene
when Roosevelt took the oath of of
fice as President, said it was a spec
tacle never to be forgotten when
Roosevelt, before the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, and a few wit
nesses, took his simple bath.—Hous
