E. Department leads in number of students with 461, followed by 293 A. A. students, 275 in M. E., and 271 Civil Engineers. The enrollment at A. and M. seems to be steadily increasing each year, and this brings up more and more problems of how to take care of the excess number of students. The new dormitories under construction will help in the housing problem, but even then conditions will still be crowded, especially 1 as regards methods of in dividual instruction and laboratory equipment in the different depart ments. Resolutions proposing that the new library to be built here next year be made a memorial and named the “Cushing Memorial Library” have been received recently and will prob ably be taken up by the Board of Directors in their summer meeting this year. The library was provided for by an appropriation made by the State Legislature this year. The appropriations, amounting to $250,000 in all; $225,000 for the building and $25,000 for the equip ment, will not be available until next September, and operations on the project will necessarily be delayed un til that time. The plans and proposals for the building and naming of the library will probably be considered during the summer session of the Board of Directors. The resolutions now in the hands of the Chairman of the Board of Direc tors, were sent by the A. & M. Clubs of San Antonio and of Houston. In both sets of resolutions the recom mendation is made that the new li brary be named the “Cushing Memo rial Library” in honor of Col. E. B. Cushing, former president of the Board of Directors of the College. It is further stated that Col. Cush ing has served the College in the past in many ways, being a loyal and faith ful worker at all times in the inter ests of the institution, and having at one time, in 1912-13, done much to ward carrying the school through a Crisis. In recognition of this service the two clubs mentioned recommend the dedication of the new campus in stitution as a memorial to Col. E. B. Cushing. The development of a student open forum, for the purpose of bringing out student discussion of campus problems and student thought in gen eral, was the chief topic of the dis cussion which followed the banquet given the Forensic Society by the En glish department last Tuesday eve ning in the banquet room of Sbisa Hall. The meeting of the evening was held in the reception room of Sbisa Hall, immediately after the banquet. With R. M. Dixon, president of the Society, presiding, a discussion of the purposes and intended action of the club was given by faculty members and students in the organization. This general discussion was in the way of an introduction into the society of the group of new members present at this meeting. The speaker of the evening, Prof. V. K. Sugareff, gave an historical survey under the title of “The Romance of American Imperialism.” The address was a comprehensive survey of the development of the nation, with special attention for the increase of imperialistic tendencies. The Forensic Society, under the di rection of Prof. C. O. Spriggs, of the English department, is to work in co operation with the Debating teams of the college, in addition to the efforts to be made along the lines of an open forum. The next meeting is sched uled for the evening of the first Tues day of next month. Before the next meeting the members of the debat ing squad will be selected and an nouncement will be made to the So ciety on that date. NOTICE A benefit picture show for the Poul try Husbandry Team will be given in the Assembly Hall Friday night. The picture will be Bebe Daniels in “Senorita.” The proceeds from this show will help to defray the expen ses of the team when they make the trip to the National Poultry Show. SANKEY PARK JEWELER !
