THE BATTALION
CAMPUS COMMENT—(Continued from page 4)
determined purpose to keep our fair city on the highest moral
plane possible and when occasional isolated violations are brought
to our attention we appreciate the information.
As regards the show in question we regret to advise that the
city had no jurisdiction in the matter whatever, since it was not
located within the corporation limits. The advance agents for
the troup applied for a permit to exhibit inside the city limits
but such application was denied by the City Manager in accord
ance with the policy of the City Commission. It may be stated
here, however, that the vulgar act to which you refer did not run
the gauntlet undisturbed for the entire week, as it was closed by
the Sheriff under orders of the District Judge immediately its
character was discovered.
For your information we are also pleased to advise that the
city of Bryan has had nothin whatever to do with the prohibition
of Sunday moving picture shows because under the State Law
prohibiting Sunday amusements the matter was placed entirely
in the hands of the County officials, and I am sure that you will
agree with the writer that our local county officers have not
neglected their duty in this regard.
In conclusion may we assure you that the city officials of
Bryan are most deeply concerned with the moral atmosphere as
effecting the welfare not only the students at A & M College
and Allen Academy but of all the people, and we sincerely hope
that when the occasion again arises to criticize our officials you
will make a more exhaustive inquiry into the facts of the matter.
Trusting that you will publish this letter in an early issue of
your periodical, we are
Yours very truly,
City of Bryan,
By R. G. Williams, City Manager.

Members of the bridal party were
served refreshments in the dining
room of the Holzmann home, and the
other guests were served informally
on the lawn.
Mrs. Nowotny is the only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Holzmann. She is a
graduate of Bryan High School, and
attended C. I. A. and Texas Univer

the graduating class this year, and
will return from a trip to Dallas, for
the graduation exercises.

two years other projects will be under
way. Following the completion of the
Chemistry building, a building for the
Agricultural Engineering department
will be built. This will remove the
wooden structures used by the depart
ment at present.
As dormitory conditions become bet
ter, the shacks are to be removed to
other parts of the campus where they
will be put into other uses.
Care and cultivation of the plants
and shrubs that have recently oeen
set out by the department of land
scape art will produce a striking
change in the general appearances of
the campus for these evergreens have
not matured yet, and will add consid
erably to the general appearance when
they are full size.
Other improvements, which are not
on the campus but will affect the stu
dents and the college people as well,
is the new highway through the coun
ty which is to be routed on the east
side of the college, about the present
location of the Sulphur Springs road.
The road north of Bryan has already
been graded, and prepared for the
concrete surface which is to be poured
within the summer, and one road crew
has started on the embankments and
bridges on the part south of Bryan.
Included in this project is the paving
of the road from the corner of the
Aggieland Pharmacy to the new high
way. This will provide two paved roads
to Bryan.
