Col. Turner then spoke on “Fairness” and applied it to not only the gridiron where A. and M. is noted for fairness but also to classwork and to the cheapening of the value of a diploma from A. and M. caused by cheating in the classes. During his talk Col. Turner asked the questions as to why the occasion was called “College night.” He answered his own ques tion as he saw it and was verified by Col. Ashburn, secretary of the Ex- Students’ Association, who explained college night as the occasion for the upper classmen to renew their spirit and to impress the conditions upon the freshmen, or in other words, the night to get the college spirit started again. “What a glorious thing it was,” Col. Ashburn said, “for the football team to make such a splendid record in the fiftieth year of the college.” And to fulfill his hopes there will have to be another Southwestern Conference championship won by the Aggies this year—a high goal, but not at all im possible to attain. To Benny Gar- rity, well known ex-student and form er yell leader, fell the honor of pre senting the football team to the ca dets. At this stage the gathering lost its frivolity and became a solemn cadet corps pledging its unfailing sup port to the team that was to fight for the glory of their school. Captain Dieterich, Coach Bible and Coach Rothgeb each spoke a few words ask ing the cadet corps to stay behind the team and promised that in return the team would give its all for the corps. After the team had retired Jake Langford took charge and the Brazos bottoms again pealed with “Good-Bye ;o Texas”; “The Spirit of Aggieland”; and various yells. As a closing talk, Andy Rollins, president of the Ex- Students’ assured the corps that the Exes all over the state were behind as to a man and doing all they could to boost A. and M.
