LARGE NUMBER
OFSTUDENTS
MAKE NOTES
Many Boys Working in Mess Hall to
Help Defray Expenses.
With approximately 800 notes made
on the campus by boys attending
school this year, and about 500 of
these notes being worked out by their
signers, the old adage that says a
poor boy has no chance at an educa
tion, is making its last bow. These
notes are two and three signature
papers with no tangible security.
The majority of the notes are car
ried by the College, the number out
at present being estimated at 500.
A credit system and loan fund are
being used to finance the loans.
A total of 310 loans have been made
by the Ex-Students Association,
amounting to approximately $35,000.
Last year this organization loaned
910 students a total of $70,000. These
loans are financed by a number of
special loan funds, including the
Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Student
I/oan Fund, the General Loan Fund,
the Class of 1922 Loan Fund, the
Ross Volunteer Loan Fund, The Cas-
ey-Sparks Loan Fund, The Dallas A.
and M. Mothers Club Fund, The Ft.
Worth A. and M. Mothers Club Fund,
the San Antonio A. and M. M'others
Club Fund, Campus Study Club Fund,
the Waco A. and M. Club Fund, the
Engineers Loan Fund, the Stone &
Webster Loan Fund, the Central and
Southwestern Utilities Loan Fund, the
Beulah Templeton Fund, the «L H.
NuSsbaum F^ind and the E. J. JBiest
Fund.
Of the total number working out
their notes, 120 are employed in Sbisa
Hall, a large number are working on
the campus under the direction of
Sergeant Tyler, and the rest are in
the employ of the various departments
and campus residents.

Sign on Hotel Bulletin
The manager wishes to state that
if the bow-legged lady, who lost her
gloves will be kind enough to call at
his office, he would be only too glad
to straighten things up for her.
