It would be prac tically impossible for the two to combine and for the controling power to be in the hands of regular students. If The Battalion is to be a students’ paper, then the students must run it. It would be impossible for the College authorities to have a controling part in a student paper; for if such was the case, it would cease to be a stu dents’ paper and the official notices essary for some official of the Col lege to have some affair in the man agement of the paper if it was to re ceive any benefit of the appropriation by the legislature. If we are to have a firstclass stu dent’s paper and the official notices of the College are to receive the prop er publication we have two courses open: First, for The Daily Bulletin to cease publishing news items; and second, to abolish The Daily Bulletin and convert The Battalion into a daily paper with space reserved for official notices. TSING HUA COLLEGE SENDS STUDENT TO A. AND M. The faculty and president of Tsing Hua College of Pekin, China, selected eighty of their graduates to attend colleges and universities in the United States. Among them is Mr. C. Y. Chang, who registered at Texas A. and M. last Monday. The Tsing Hua College was established by the fund from the Boxer Indemnity that was given back to China by the United States. There are about twenty Americans who are members of the faculty of Tsing Hua College. Students are sent annually by the Tsing Hua College to the United States to complete their education. The group of students sent over this year is the eleventh to be sent by the Chinese Education Mission. The Educational Mission is appointed by the Chinese government for the purpose of sending the graduates of Tsing Hua College to colleges and universities in foreign countries. Dr. T. P. Sze, the director of the Mission, maintains offices in Washington, D. C. In addition to the students sent to the United States, large numbers are sent to England, Germany, Aus tria-Hungary, and especially to France. Besides the eighty students sent to the United States by the Chinese Educational Mission, there were one hundred and twenty other students who are paying all of their expenses. Mr. Chang has come to Texas A. and M. in order that he may study the best methods of growing and market ing cotton. He is very enthusiastic about China becoming one of the world’s cotton producing countries; for there is a large area in China that is especially adapted to growing cot ton. The average size farm is about fifty or sixty mows—a mow is a Chinese land measure that is approxi mately one-sixth of an acre. These small farms represent a more inten sive farming section than the large cotton plantations in the southern part of the United States. Mr. Chang says that public senti ment towards Americans in China is very friendly; for America is con sidered to be the only country that is really friendly to China. NAPPING. Dr. Hedges: “Who is that man asleep in the rear of the room?” Answer: “Knapp.” METHODIST SOCIAL A SUCCESS. Expectations were more than ful filled on last Friday evening when some two hundred odd Methodist stu dents journeyed to the Baptist Taber nacle in Bryan to attend the social given by the Bryan Methodist Church. The event had been much advertised and talked up; consequently we stu dents were expecting something new and different. If anyone doubts that we were not more than pleased, he should have been there to observe the smiles of satisfaction and pleasure that continuously played upon every face in the gathering. The first part of the evening was given over to everyone getting ac quainted with everyone else. It seems that King Vivian had let it be known that we were coming to Bryan in an attempt to find some fair damsel cap able of causing us to forget, for the time being, the “pink shirt waist” back home. We feel sorry for those girls left behind, for from the way the Bryan girls turned out it seems that our old friends are out of the game. We did not know that there were so many pretty girls in Bryan. We won der where they have been all this time. Every way a homesick cadet would look, he would find himself , con fronting some young lady. Home sickness and lonesomeness soon van ished. A short, interesting program was cleverly rendered and enthusiastically appreciated. There were several songs, readings, and a few short talks. The speakers were agreed that this event was but the beginning of a bet ter and closer relationship between students of College and the people of Bryan. The talks were short and to the point, as the speakers seemed to appreciate the fact that the young people were more interested in other things. Last, but not least, delicious ice cream and home-made cake was served. All agreed that such home made cake had not been encountered since we left home. The refreshments might be said to have marked the closing of the evening’s pleasures, un less we know how to write of the young men who felt that it was nec essary to escort the young ladies home. Everyone can vouch for the fact that a good time was had by all. This is the first affair of its kind given by the Methodist Church and it is hoped that such a good beginning will lead to more pleasant evenings in the fu ture. Such attempts as this to give us an opportunity to meet the Bryan people socially will cause us to appre ciate them more and more as the year advances. ❖ k* K* +*+ ■***■ ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ->jt- ■£♦ ❖ * * WITH THE OLDTIMERS. * ❖ ❖ •*■£«■ •*■£*• •*£«• •*£*- ■*$*- ■*$*- ■*$*■ ■>%*- ■>*•*■ ■>%*■ “Woodrow” Wilson, Captain ’20, and guard on A. and M.’s All-South western team, 1917-1919, was on the Campus Sunday for a short stay. * * * Leslie Ballard of Bryan, Ch.
