C. J. Finny To Study
Architecture Abroad
Clarence J. Finny, associate profes
sor of architecture, plans to spend the
summer in England studying English-
Gothic architecture of which there are
excellent exaraples throughout the
British Isles. Mr. Finny will probably
establish a summer residence in Lon
don from which he will travel to
Scotland and several other countries.
He plans to use the various libraries
in London, especially the architectural
library of the Kensington Museum,
which contains excellent works on
Gothic architecture, and the National
Museum. Mr. Finny has chosen the
English-Gothic style of architecture
for study because he considers it rhe
greatest contribution England has
made to true architecture.
Mr. hinny has received an invita
tion from the city of Berlin to visit
their German building exhibition and
international town planning and hous
ing exhibition. As che exhibitions will
be from May 9 to August 2, Mr. Finny
intends to visit Berlin sometime dur
ing che summer. The houses on display
will be of the type used by large indus
trial plants for the housing of cheir
employees, in America, houses of sim
ilar construction are used in Henry
Ford’s housing project in Detroit. In
the town planning and housing phase
of the exhibition, various ways of
handling pedestrian and vehicle traf
fic will be dealt with as well as means
of separating the residential part of
the town from the business district
and the forming of community centers.
Nearly every summer Mr. Finny has
studied the styles of architecture of
difierent places, both at home and
abroad. For six months in 1924 and
for the same length of time again in
1926 he travelled through France and
Italy. He has spent summers in Bos
ton, Washington, and New Orleans
studying local styles of architecture.
Mr. Finny plans to leave for England
about June 1 and he will return some
time in September.
None of us have a patent on being
right.—Senator Tydings.

A period of depression might have
struck at other organizations during
Ihe past year, but that it has yet to
strike the business of graduating col
lege students at A & M is evidenced
by the fact that approximately the
same number of students here will re
ceive the much coveted “sheepskin”
this year as did last.
Three hundred and thirty-five stu
dents have signified their intentions
of getting their bachelor degrees this
year by making formal application for
degrees in the registrar’s office. Only
306 students were graduated by the
college last year, 29 less than have
applied this year. However, it must
be remembered that some of those
who hope to graduate will not do so.
There are nine candidates for mas
ters’ degrees and two for professional
degrees.
Thirteen departments showed an
increase in the number of applicants
this year over the number of gradu
ates last year, while three depart
ments showed a decrease and two
showed no fluctuation in the figures
at all. There are two hopefuls for de
grees in petroleum engineering while
there were none last year. This is
explained by the fact that this de
partment was created only last year.
Six prospective graduates are enroll
ed in the department of veterinary
medicine, while only one student was
graduated from this department last
year.
Number of applicants for degrees
by courses follow:
(Note: Number graduated in each
department last year is shown by fig
ures in parentheses) Ag. Administra
tion, 39 (53); Ag Eng., 3 (2); Ag-
(straight) 47 (45); Landscape Art,
4 (3); Liberal Arts, 23 (24); Science,
11 (13); Architectuie, 18 (18); Chem
ical Engineering, 22 (19); Civil En
gineering, 22 (27); Electrical Engi
neering, 58 (51); Petroleum Engineer
ing, 2 (0); Mechanical Engineering,
35 (25); Textile Engineering, 2 (4);
Vet. Medicine, 6 (1); Ag. Education,
14 (12); Industrial Arts, 8 (6); Indus
trial Education, 1 (1); and Rural Ed
ucation, 7 (3).
There are two candidates for mas
ters’ degrees in Ag. Administration,
one in Ag. Engineering, six in straight
Agriculture, three in Science, four
in Chemical Engineering, four in Civil
Engineering, one in Ag. Education,
five in Rural Education, and one in
Industrial Education. Both the De
partment of electrical engineering and
che department of cotton marketing
and finance have two candidates for
professional degrees.
