of action has been submitted to

BRYAN, Jan. 9'.—There is no
law, either constitutional or statn-
tory, requiring the admission of
women as' students in A and M
College. Judge W. C. Davis of the
Eighty-fifth Judicial District so
held in a decision handed down
here Friday in the suit instituted
by Mrs. W. E. Neely and others
seeking a writ of mandamus dir
ecting the directors of the college
to enroll and matriculate women
as students of the institution at
its long or regular sessions.
Handicapped by financial dif
ficulties, the petitionees, 12 Bryan
girls, sought admission because
the college was only a few miles
away. The directors at the man
damus hearing two months ago,
claimed that women were not “bio
logically adapted” to enrollment in
the college or for work for which
graduates were fitted.
Judge Davis, in his three-point
decision, expressed ‘the opinion
that Congrefta, in passing the land
grant act of 1862, did not intend
to prescribe who should or should
not attend such colleges, that the
framers of the State Constitution
and the Legislature intended that
A and M should be a separate in
stitution relating to the University
of Texas—a co-educational school
of statutory provision—and that
they intended to leave the decis
ion on whether the matitution
should be co-educational to the
l>oard of directors.
Net Discrimination
The judge calls attention to the
fact that in 1925 the board of di
rectors passed a resolution “that
women should not be admitted as
students” in the college, and “in
enforcing its provisions acted in
good faith and in keeping with' the
history and policy of the institu
tion for more than 50 years;” add
ing that “the policy of said bdard
of directors in refusing admKtdftee
of girls in said institution as stu
dents is not unlawful and arbi
trary, nor is such act discrimma-
tioa." L *
.It was in Judge Davis’ first

This 1* one of the many invita

Appropriations have been pro
vided by the college for the club
to make several extended trips
during the spring. Last year the
club was the guests of several of
the larger cities of the state, and
appeared on aeveral of the State’s
moat popular radio stations.
Several new popular pieces have
been secured for the club and are
being rehearsed during practice.
Among the new pieces that the
club has secured are “The Last
Round Up”, “Heme On The
Range”, “The Bella ot Saint
Mary’s”, and aeveral other new
negro spirituals.
It has always seemed to me that
real people, whether millionaires
or coal miners, could m^-t and
have an interesting'and profitable
time together if a proper atmos
phere were created around them.
