supported by appropriation from the
State Legislature. 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.
