not to exercise my body."
I do not think that students have
received enough encouragement in
the past to cause them to work for
distinction. One might bay that the * |

The formation and organization of
the Scholarship Club for A. and M.
is a good thing. It will be a recogni
tion of the men who by constant work
have earned grades of B, or better,
in all of their courses of study. The
bringing together of these men into
a club organisation should have an I | e tic side of college life. It will be

even though all men were created
