PRINCE ALBERT has been the campus favorite
since the days of long-haired fullbacks, high
button shoes, turtle-neck sweaters, and hand-
painted dormitory cushions. This same won
derful tobacco is even more popular in these
days of plus-fours.
And no wonder. Throw back the hinged
lid of the familiar red tin and release that rare
aroma of real tobacco! Tuck a load into your
pipe and pull that fragrant P. A. smoke up the
stem! That’s Prince Albert, Fellows! Nothing
like it anywhere^
When problems press and your spirits slip
over into the minus column, just get out your
jimmy-pipe and load up with this really friendly
tobacco. P. A. is so kind to your tongue and
throat and general disposition. Buy a tidy red
tin today*

What can he said to show the im
portance of the Sophomore class?
What can be said to make these Soph
omores feel their importance. The
present Sophomore class is from all
indications one of the best that ever
survived the Fish year at A. and M.
But, will they remain so? Will they
hold together, work together, and pull
together with the other classes ? The
Sophomores really make an organiza
tion, and no outfit can be better than
the Sophomores in rank. If the pres
ent Sophomore class will feel their
responsibility and their duty to their
companies and to their school and do
what is expected of them, then the
school will go forward. If the Soph
omores do not obey the rules and com
mands of their Junior or Senior of
ficers, if they do not work together,
if they became revolutionists, then the
school will not go forward. What do
you say Sophomores? Let’s be as
good Sophomores as we were Fish,
let’s stick together and work with the
two upper classes and deliver the
goods as we should!

As is generally known by the up
perclassmen here at A. and M., the
Freshman year is much harder for
some than it is for others—not alto
gether because of the difference in
amount of work put in by each per
son, but chiefly due to the difference
in high school foundation. Some
Freshmen can go through the year
successfully with little work while
others find that they need all of their
spare time for study. It is this differ
ence that every person should realize
when he shifts from high school to
college, and it is this difference that
causes some to need help more than
others.
If the Freshman will notice, prac
tically every upperclassman he meets
offers to assist him as much as pos
sible in the problems that confront
one during his first year in a new life
and in new studies. This offer of as
sistance is of vastly more value than
is given it and is, as a rule, given in
all sincerity. If the Freshman would
only voice his chief troubles to the
senior, junior or sophomore that he
can depend on most, there is little
doubt that he would fare better
through the year both scholastically
and socially. The problems of the
first year man now are essentially the
same as they have been in the past,
and the advice of one who has met
them successfully is almost invaluable
at times.
Of course, it is understood that one
must rely upon his own judgment as
much as possible. If a hard problem
in mathematics is stumping the
Freshman, he should try it himself
long enough to become familiar with
what he desires to know. Then if he
is still unable to solve the problem,
there are hundreds of men on the
campus who are able to untangle and
set him back on the right track. Com
plete scholastic independence on the
part of the freshman sounds good but
an unprepared lesson does not help
one’s grade when a few remarks from
another person can set him right. The
professors wish to help all they can,
but the great number of students de
pending on this help makes other as
sistance necessary. The Freshman
should never be bashful about seek
ing out an upperclassman when he
has reached his limit of knowledge on
