FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS
BROOKS, President. H. J. KINNARD, Sec.-Treas.
Read is vice-president and Kinnard
secretary and treasurer.
In the military department we again
come to the front. We constitute the
entire rear rank of all formations. As
sentinels we are detailed to keep the
old boys in their rooms, that they
might study and learn.
We have a great future before us.
Pour years are allowed us to prepare
for the world. And four years under
the leadership of such men as Presi
dent Bizzell and Lieut. Hill will cer
tainly make us competent men.
In a summary we have more chances
before us than any other class in col
lege. The other classes have passed
over the great year of opportunities—
the “Pish” year.
Of all these things we are proud, ex
tremely proud, and I think all will
agree that we, the “Pish” have cause
for pride.
BOOSTING A. AND M.
The following article is an interview
with former Lieutenant Governor Da
vidson of Cuero, recently appointed a
member of the Board of Directors of
the A. and M. College. The clipping is
taken from the Cuero Star, owned and
edited by A. S. Crisp, former member
of the Legislature and a staunch
friend of the A. and M. College, also
father of Cadet Crisp, M. C.
Gov. Davidson has returned from
Austin, where he did a great deal of
work in the interest of the A. and M.
College, the new Normal Colleges, etc.
Upon the passage of the A. and M. and
University separation constitutional
amendment he thinks a great impetus
will come to A. and M. The Govern
or is an ardent worker in whatever
line he hitches up and his interest is
very keenly aroused in the fortunes
of A. and M„ of which he is a direc
tor. No school in South Texas has
higher possibilities than the A. and M.
Of the numerous colleges of its class
the Texas school stands at the head of
the nation in military efficiency
While Uncle Sam is a nation of peace,
it is a mighty good thing to have the
citizen soldier who knows something
of the game of war. Not only so, but
the military of this school teaches its
students neatness, promptness and
general dependability. He learns
there the value of time; to keep tab
on the passage of time; to be on time,
and to be prepared for the duty of the
hour. But this is just a part of what
he learns. Principally he learns to
be distinctly in the producing class. He
is a well equipped farmer, horticultu-
ralist, chemist, veterianarian, dairy
man, etc., if he takes the agricultural
course, or he is a civil engineer, elec
trical engineer, a mechanical engineer,
architect, etc., if he chooses mechan
ics. Men high up in the the railway
service of Texas best tell the story of
what becomes of the A. and M. grad
uates of this State. Men who do
things, who produce things are con
spicuous in the the service of probably
every railroad in Texas, while elec
tricians are called for frequently be
fore they are ready to leave their rec
itation rooms. Great farms of South
Africa and South America and thruout
our own country are eager for her
agricultural students. If the people
separate the two schools it will be a
great boom to both. And it is a sim
ple question, involving nothing but per
mission to let both the schools pursue
their separate ways unhampered by
the other; in fact, in helpful, friendly
rivalry of each other. There is noth
ing whatever in common between the
two schools; they fill different spheres
of activity; are probably two hunderd
miles apart and have unlimited fields
in which to do a world of good for the
young people of Texas. They should
have been separated years ago.
A. AND M. GRADUATE
HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED.
College Station, Tex., March 28.—
Texas is well represented at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition now in progress
at San Francisco. One of the chief
features of that big exposition is the
electrical programs, and a Texas boy
and a graduate of the A." and M. Col
lege is largely responsible for the suc
cess of these illumination schemes.
He is A. F. Dicekrson of Cuero, son of
Mrs. L. F. Dickerson.
Dickerson graduated from the school
of electrical engineers at the A. and
M. College in the clas of 1910. Imme
diately after he graduated he accepted
a position with the General Electric
Co., at Schenectady, N. Y., where he
remained until he was appointed assist
ant to Chief Engineer Ryan, in charge
of illuminations at the exposition, in
the issue of March 13, the San Fran
cisco Call pays a high tribute to the
part the Texan played in the develop
ment of the lighting features at the ex
position.
Fish Whitney—Mr. Easly, have you
heard about that new instrument in
the band?
C. M. Easly—No. What is it, Fish?
Fish Whitney—A shoe horn.
