A Southern College Association in
Chicago was started when representa
tives of nine southern college alumni
clubs met at the Congress Hotel and
elected officers and mapped out a
plan of organization which is expect
ed eventually to include every South
ern Alumni Club in Chicago. The
purpose of the organization is to have
every Southern College and Univer
sity organize a Chicago Alumni Club
which will bcome a part of the South
ern College Association. The ma
jority of these clubs have small mem
bership and the Association will bring
these clubs together so that the mem
bers will be able to have all the ad
vantages which a large alumni club
offers. The Association will handle
the entertainment of Southerners in
Chicago and an invitation has been
extended to every Southern college
man in Chicago to join.
The following Chicago Alumni
Clubs are charter members of the
Southern College Association: Duke
University, University of Virginia,
Vanderbilt University, Tulane Uni
versity, University of Texas, Univer
sity of North Carolina, Virginia Poly
technic Institute, Georgia Tech, and
Texas A. and M.

The A. H. Department now has a
livestock exhibit making the round of
a number of South Texas fairs. This
exhibit first went to the Comal Coun
ty Fair at New Braunfels, and from
there to the Gonzales County Fair
and to the Guadalupe County Fair at
Seguin. It will proceed to LaGrange,
Victoria, and probably Floresville
and Nixon, according to D. W. Wil
liams, head of the A. H. Depart
ment.
One of the features of the exhibit
is the mare mule, “Beck,” with her
stallion offspring, “Pat,” owned by
the college. Other well-bred animals
include four dairy cows, eleven hogs,
and six sheep. There is also a large
booth containing information con
cerning the production of poultry,
dairy and beef cattle, hogs, sheep, and
horses.

Campus residents will probably
have the convenience of natural gas in
their homes some time in the near
future, as arangements are being
made to bring gas to Bryan and Col
lege Station. The project is being
undertaken by the Lone Star Gas
Company and indications are that the
installation will be completed by the
first of February.

A college night celebration, featur
ing college songs and yells given by
groups of A. & M. cadets and Se-
wanee students, was staged in the
Palace Theatre, at Dallas Friday
night. Both the Aggie and Sewanee
teams were presented during the per
formance.
Allen Peoples made his maiden
stage appearance directing the Aggie
representation in their part of the
program. “Farmers Fight” and
“Military” were given, and followed
by “The Spirit of Aggieland.” The
words to the song were shown on the
screen and the entire audience took
part in the singing.
The rest of the celebration was
taken over by the management and
the Sewanee group.
A SMILE
A smile is a boquet that may be
placed in the hands of the living but
not on the bier of the Dead. It
“drives anger from the face of a
fighting man, fear from the lips of a
child, and arrests the despondent
thrust of self-destruction.” It is an
emblem of universal friendship, a to
ken of love and the greatest asset of
the modern business world. A smile
is a gift, the giving of which costs
nothing but from which one reaps
untold profits. So fellows forget
those gripes and SMILE.
