THE BATTALION
A. AND M. ENROLLMENT LARG
EST IN HISTORY OF
COLLEGE
At 12 o’clock, October 20th, the
enrollment of the variohs depart
ments of the college had reached a
total of 1,450—exceeding by nearly
200 the largest previous enrollment
in the history of the instithtion. This
comparison does not include the en
rollment in the S.A.T.C., as that or
ganization was not really in the hands
of the College authorities, and the
larger number of the students were
enrolled mainly for military train
ing.
For the first time in the history
of the college the enrollment in four-
year courses exceeds 1,000—the ac
tual figures are 1,022. There are
320 students in two-year courses, 57
special students and 51 auto-me
chanic students. These figures in
clude students sent here for training
by the Government, most of whom
are in the two-year courses.
It is expected that another 100
Government students will be sent
here during the session. Other stu
dents will enter the auto-mechanics
school, and from present prospects
quite a large number of old stu
dents will return after Christmas to
resume their studies in the regular
courses. It is safe to predict that
the total enrollment for the regular
session will exceed 1,600, which,
added to the 1919 summer school en
rollment of 1,200, will bring the
grand total for the year to over 2,-
800 students.
It is an interesting fact that the
present enrollment in A. & M. ex
ceeds that of any other men’s school
south of the Mason & Dixon line;
and only four or five m,en’s schools in
the North have a larger attendance.
Approximately 800 new men are
included in the student body this
year, nearly 500 of whom are gradu
ates of accredited high schools.
A tabulated statement of the en
rollment follows:

LONGHORN DOPE
I have been advised by the Ham-
mersmith-Kortmeyer Printing Com
pany that the 1919 edition of the
Longhorn will be ready for shipment
by the time this article goes to press.
Many men have asked me when the
Longhorn will arrive. To be frank
with each one involved, I cannot say.
Everyone will understand that the
present 1920 Longhorn is being heid
up on the delivery of last years book
and nothing in the way of launching
the proposed campaign can be done
until the last year book is delivered.
I want everyone to understand that I
am doing all I can to get the Long
horn here as soon as possibel, and I
would appreciate it very much if
those involved would not worry me
with so many questions that I cannot
answer. The shipment of the book
will be published in either the Bulle
tin or the Battalion.
In reference to this years book, I
would like to say again that every
man should feel like this is as much
his book as anyone elses. Everyone
can help the editorial and business
staffs if they so choose. As - one
personally responsible for the busi
ness end of the 1920 book I want the
co-operation of every student of this
college.
Time is being assigned to each stu
dent to has his club picture made.
You can help the Longhorn by being
on time and not putting off this very
important thing. The staff is endeav
oring to have an A-l hook this year
and any suggestions as to probable
artists, cartoonists, etc., will be
greatly appreciated.
R. A.HARRIS,
Business Manager, 1920 Longhorn.
ARCHITECTURAL CLUB
The membership of the architec
tural club has increased over one
hundred per cent and new members
are coming in every day. The pres
ent freshman class in architecure is
one of the largest in the history of
the college.
Officers for the ensuing year have
been elected. With Henry Fowler as
president, W. T. Strange as vice
president, W. L. Bradshaw as secre
tary and treasurer, E. W. Schiwetz
as sergeant at arms, and H. L. Drelke
as reporter we are sure to have the
future developments of the club
well taken care of.
The meetings so far have been full
of pep and enthusiasm and if this in
terest continues the club will be one
of the livliest at college.
Cain was evidently the first crop
but rotation with wild oats is quite
popular just now.
—AMC—
Has the commandant sent you a
billet-doux on his cute little pink note
paper Form 9? Don’t feel slighted,
he is quite prompt with his corres
pondence.
