All the accommodations that would be expected of the more distinctive hotels of the larger cities will be found at the local house. Standard commercial rates will prevail and every class of room, with or without bath, will be available. All rooms are supplied with running water and guests choosing a room without a pri vate bath will find a tub and shower directly across the hall. The build ing will be steam heated throughout. There are thirty-seven rooms of varying sizes. The dining room has a seating capacity of sixty and the lunch room will be equipped to serve twenty-eight. It is interesting to note in this connection that the con tract for the equipment of the hotel was granted to Paul E. Wise of the Burge Manufacturing Co. of Houston, who will be remembered by many as a former student of A. and M. The hotel will be opened temporar ily only afid will furnish sleeping ac commodations alone to its guests of the tenth and eleventh. Following this brief period the doors will be closed and additional work will be car ried on so that the hotel will be fully completed in all details in anticipa tion of its permanent opening to re ceive commencement visitors.

The promise was fulfilled a few months ago, when electricity at 220,000 volts was transmitted two hundred and forty miles to supply Los Angeles with light and power. Now five billion dollars are invested in electric power plants. A stupendous figure that testifies to the alertness of thousands of college-trained men who have been leaders in the production and use of electric power. The electrical era has only dawned. Each year some new machine or discovery makes it possible to apply electricity in unexpected ways. ' The graduate of today will find electricity directly or indirectly a means for even greater accom plishments, no matter what his calling in life may be. In 1881 Edison shipped to the Paris Exposition his “Jumbo” dynamo—eighth wonder of the world. It could light 1000 lamps. Now there are G-E generators large enough to sup ply current for over a million lamps, each With four times the candle-power of the lamp of 1881. The General Electric Company produces other electrical appa ratus which makes it possible to transmit power over great distances. It has put electricity in seven-league boots. In its laboratories, scientists are now experimenting with voltages ten times as great as the high est now in use.
