EARNEST LANGFORD
Even if you are not studying Ar
chitecture you should visit the fourth
stoop of the main building and meet
Mr. Langford. He is a fine fellow
and a man worth knowing. He hasn’t
got a Tine’ and he doesn’t possess
a high-pressure-personality, but he is
just what his name implies, EAR
NEST, sincere, and upright. When
you meet him you’ll know him, and
when you know him you’ll admire
him just as others have done since
his Fish Days in ’09. This quiet per
sonality and steady character of his
has, ever since those days, been gath
ering behind him a tremendous force
of friends and influence which this
year placed him as Head of the
Department of Architecture.
Earnest Langford graduated with
the class of 1913. After graduation
he was employed for two years as
an architectural draftsman in Aus
tin. He returned to A. and M. as an
Instructor in the Architectural De
partment until 1919 when he became
a member of the same Department
at the University of Illinois. He re
ceived his master’s degree from Illi
nois in ’24 and in ’25 returned to A.
and M. as professor of Architecture,
and in four years worked up to
Head of that department.
Three years ago he designed and
superintended the construction of the
first unit of the concrete stadium on
Kyle Field. He has been awarded
several prizes for his architectural
designs. All in all, Langford is a
real success, and we are sure proud
of the fact that he is one of us—
an Aggie.
time this term however, is taken
up in putting the sophomores over
the hurdles of surveying and mechan
ics, and giving the juniors a run in
strength. We are mighty glad Frank
is back and wish him success to
wards his master’s degree.

The feature of last week’s meet
ing was a talk on the present con
ditions and reclamation of the Bra

open discussion on the prospects of
harnessing and controling this river

to be heard at the next meeting.

Key Town selling
—a new telephone idea
Commercial development men of the Bell
System have originated a new use of the
telephone which is proving economical and
efficient for modern salesmanship. From
important central towns the salesman makes
periodic visits to customers and prospects
by telephone.
To conceive this idea, to make it practical
by selecting Key Towns on a basis of most
advantageous rates to surrounding points,
and to sell it as a business practice — all this
illustrates how telephone service is as open as
any commodity to constructive imagination.
Key Town selling is one of many indica
tions of the steady demand, present and to
come, for more and more telephone service.
