A T. C U. Co-Ed
Speaks.
This is an; expression of opinion
of a member of the T. C. U. stu
dent body received by the editor
shortly after the corps trip to Fort
Worth. The feeling seems to be fair
ly general; it is such things that
tend to remove some of the sting
of defeat.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Dear Senior, Junior, Sophomore
and Freshman Aggies:
Who lost what game? Not you!
Believe me, you played a wonderful
game of sportsmanship that can not
possibly be equalled. I like your
genuine attitude in general. What
could have been more impressive
and attractive than your military
discipline and your beautiful forma
tion in the grandstand in perfect
rhythm with your leaders? O Boy!
If I could be privileged to shake the
hand of every Aggie who participat
ed in the big hit Saturday, I’d be
willing to face any obstacle. Your
grip and strength is invigorating.
Your physical vigor is the substan
tial material basis for your “go-
gettum” spirit and your “keepum”
smile of defeat shining before that
strength of character and will pow-
er.
Physiology may teach its lessons,
but psychology has had its effect
and response. Here’s to ya. Aggies,
"American Heroes of our Genera
tion of Youth,” you’re made out of
the real stuff, and I like you for
your spirit. You’re grand losers,
but glorious winners! I’ve learned
my lesson from you, and you deserve
praise. No doubt, every T. C. U.
student is repeating a similar feel
ing in his heart for you. Keep the
fires burning and the flying colors
waving on top is the desire of a T.
C. U. student.

SUNDAY INSPECTION
Sunday morning inspection, ac
cording to Lieutenant McCullough,
has been revived from the dead past.
Some ten or twelve years ago, this
formation was a regular part of the
military program just as it is now.
It was referred to by the member*
of the enthusiastic corps as
S. M. I.” and listed by the cadets
in the same category as drill, tooth
ache and one’s "fish year.”
Despite this, the lieutenant is cer
tain that the boys will appreciate
this opportunity to inspect the mili
tary staff each Sunday morning, and
that in so far as he could see, the
only one suffering as a result of the
new regulation is Mr. Duncan. And
that, we believe, is a happy thought.
The skeletons of two monster ani
mals, a diplodocus and a brontosaur
us, believed to have lived in this
country 80,000,000 years ago in the
Jurassic period, have been discovered
in this vicinity by Barnum Brown,
curator of fossils and retiles at the
American Museum . of Natural His
tory atr New York.
Brown is planning to return here
with an expedition in the near future
to dig the valuable bones out of the
sandstone rock in which they have
been preserved for these ages. It is
estimated that the work will require
two months.

The sad story of one who was not

Meantime he will just sit and think
