THE BATTALION 3 C. O. WATKINS. Very few men at A. and M. are as well known by the student body as C. O. “Cap” Watkins. He is an “old- timer,” as he came here in 1907. Since that time he has been constantly on the job supervising the hauling of student’s baggage and furniture. He also does the general hauling for all of the departments and if anyone wants anything moved it is to “Cap” that they go. “Cap” said, “When I came to A. and M. in 1907, I had one assistant, a team of mules, and a wagon with which I did all of the hauling of the student’s trunks and the general hauling of the depart ments. This was not very hard for there were only 403 students here at that time. Now I have eighteen assistants and we do all the hauling with large trucks.” During the time that “Cap” has been at A. and M. four men have serv ed as president of the College, name ly: Dr. Harrington, Dean Puryear, Colonel Milner, and Dr. Bizzell. Very few men have been here to witness the growth of the College as has “Cap” Watkins. When he came here the principal buildings were Pfeuffer. Austin, Ross, Foster, old Main Build ing, Chemistry Building, Gathright. old Chapel, and the old Mess Hall. The Military Walk from Goodwin to the old Mess Hall was not paved and “Cap” smiles when he thinks of those days when in wet weather it would be come so muddy that it would almost bog a horse. “Cap” says that this is not the first time that the students have had to live in tents because of insufficient dormitory room, for in 1908 they had to set up 223 tents to take care of the “overflow” in the student body. It was not long before the Legislature made the necessary appropriations for the construction of Milner and. Leg gett Halls. “Cap” remembers well the “walk out” by the student body in 1909 and again in 1913, and according to him “those were mighty critical times.” This Bible Class is conducted along very practical lines which gives the Seniors a chance to come in contact with some practical religious think ing, and every Senior who fails to avail himself of the opportunity will lose something which is of inestimable value in the rounding out of the type of education given at A. and M. CRASS CHOSEN TO HEAD THE SOPHOMORE CLASS A meeting of the Sophomore Class was held Sunday for the purpose of sleeting officers for the year. The lominees were hotly contested over but after the fervor of some excite ment abated, J. B. Crass of the Cav alry and from Electra, was elected I :o lead the class. The vice-president, secretary and treasurer, and historian were given office only after having a second bal lot taken in order that one man should have a majority. N. A. Noble, In fantryman and from Greeenville, was made vice-president; M. E. Dealey. Cavalryman, and from Houston, secre tary-treasurer; L. Stevenson, Signal Corps and from Dallas, historian. SENIOR BIBLE CLASS IS SHOWING PROGRESS The Senior Bible Class has now an enrollment of about eighty- five mem bers and the work of the term in the form of the study of the social prin ciples of Jesus has begun. Due to the large number of students in the class Dr. Bizzell has to resort to lectures almost entirely but his lectures are of such a nature that they are easily intelligible to the layman. ARCHITECTURAL CLUB ELECTS At a recent meeting of the Archi tectural Club the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, R. G. Pustejovsky; Vice- President, T. H. Baker; Secretary and Treasurer, J. C. Lancaster, Reporter, J. C. McFarland, Sergeant-at-Arms L. P. Newman. Informal talks were made by Prof. E. B. LaRoche, Prof. H. N. June, and Mr. G. W. Gill. Plans were formulated for this year’s work which promises to be bet ter than ever before in the history of the Department. Last year Texas A. and M. won first mention in the Southern Intercollegiate competition in design in which were entered Rice Clemson College, University of Vir ginia, and Georgia School of Tech nology.
