Cadet Corps Complimented on Con
duct in Fort Worth
Letters have been received in the
Commandant’s office from the Fort
Worth Chamber of Commerce and
several of the places visited by the
Aggies in Fort Worth, stating that
our visit was a pleasure to them and
complimenting us on our gentlemanly
conduct. The letter from the Cham
ber of Commerce reads:
“Dear Col. Nelson:
No doubt you will have received
other letters of this type from vari
ous ones, however I want you to know
that it was indeed a pleasure to serve
A. & M. College. If all are satisfied
at that end as to the entertainment
for the boys, the faculty and tactical
officers, then we are more than
pleased.
“No doubt there were several little
mishaps, but we want to assure you
that if there were any, they were un
intentional.
“If by any chance we might be of
assistance to you in any form don’t
hesitate to call upon us.
“Fort Worth was indeed pleased as
to the conduct of all and to say the
least, it was a pleasure to have you
all with us.
Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce.”
One cafeteria expressed the pleas
ure of serving dinner to more than
500 cadets, and stated that all Aggies
who ate there conducted themselves
as perfect gentlemen.

Allen
On October 12, three of our Army
Officers, Colonel Nelson, Captain Al
dridge and Captain Besse, were visit
ors at Allen Academy for the pur
pose of inspecting the Dallas Com
pany drill. Each of these pointed out
different errors and it seems that af
ter their visit the company improved
very rapidly. Col. Nelson said the
company was not perfect but should
put up a very creditable showing.

The board also put its stamp of ap
proval upon a suggestion of entering
the Southern Association of Colleges
and the Southwestern Conference.
Among- the visitors was Capt. W. E.

At noon Friday the A. and M. Exes

More than 200 ducks were brought
down a few days before the game by
W. G. McMillan, former Aggie grid
star, and other Lubbock Aggies for
the feast. The Tech alumni held their
