Itural and Mechanical College
CAMPUS BETTERMENT
IS MADE POSSIBLE BY
LATE APPROPRIATIONS
Emergency Measure Passed by Legis
lature Insures Concrete Walks
and Other Improvements.
Announcement that the Legislature
had allowed and that Governor Fergu
son had approved the A. & M. College
emergency appropriation request was
cause for general rejoicing on the
campus last week.
The emergency measure carried
with it funds for operating the steam
plant and other college agencies, and
in addition allowed something for im
provements and repairs, a very neces
sary item.
Dr. Bizzell says that the work of
constructing sidewalks, repairing and
refurnishing the chapel, and other
steps to improve the general appear
ance of the campus, will be taken im
mediately. A concrete walk, eight
feet in width, will be laid from Gath-
right to the chapel, and if sufficient
funds remain other walks will be con
structed. A good part of the sum al
lowed for “outside improvements’’ will
be expended in planting trees and
flowers.
The emergency measure as passed
follows:
For the maintenance of the
steam plant ..$35,000
For extension service 25,000

HEALTH IS GOOD
AT A. & M. COLLEGE
Health at the A. & M. College is
good. The report of Dr. Otto Ehlinger,
college surgeon, is responsible for the
statement that the percentage of men
missing duty as a result of sickness
is lower than the percentage in the
United States army. And while much
of this is due to the careful attention
given cadets at the college hospital,
there is but little sickness among the
instructors and their families.
The college hospital is manned by
Dr. Ehlinger, a graduate physician and
surgeon, and by two trained graduate
nurses. Twice a day, after breakfast
and after dinner, all of those who feel
at all had or who are suffering from
a wound, however slight, report to the
hospital for examination and treat
ment. The cost of this treatment is
covered in the medical tee of $8 which
is paid on entering.
In the last five years there have
been but six deaths at the college. One
boy was drowned, another was killed
by a train, another died as the result
of being struck by falling glass, one
died of appendicitis and two deaths
were caused by meningitis, which was
contracted by the boys during visits
to their homes during the Christmas
holidays.
Epidemics of measles, mumps and
other kindred diseases are forestalled
by isolating the victims and by pre
ventive measures.
TERM EXAMS OVER;
CADETS THANKFUL
First-term examinations were con
cluded Wednesday and the new term
begins on Thursday. A number of
students enrolled at the beginning of
the second term and the enrollment
at present is much in advance of that
of last year at the same time.
In addition to thejiew students who
reported for work a number of old
boys who dropped out at the mid
year term last year have again en
rolled for work. The enrollment now
is over the 900 mark.
Dr. W. B. Bizzell, President
The new President of the A. & M.
Colleg, is a man of long experience
and wide training in the educational
field. Under his administration the
affairs of the college are being put
on a much better basis.
