(Continued from page one) chief of the Division of Cultural Relations of the United States De partment of State, and submitted to them a course of study for Latin American students. Following the preliminary conferences, Mr. Cher- rington in April advised Dean Kyle that the Division of Cultural Rela tions of the Department of State and asked the advice of several people well informed on Latin America and the needs of students wishing to complete their education in the United States. Mr. Cherring- ton stated that much favorable comment was received on Dean Kyle’s outline of the course of study which also has received high commendation from the Houston Foreign Trade Council. At that time Mr. Cherrington reported to Dean Kyle that a number of other institutions were following the Texan’s example by providing spec ial courses and arrangements for Latin American students. At the same time Mr. Cherrington stated that he believed all of those insti tutions would wish to be well in formed regarding what others were planning. In addition to the Texas Agricul tural and Mechanical College, Mr. Cherrington reported, that such plans were under way at Louisiana State University, Tulane Univer sity, University of Florida, Uni versity of Michigan, University of New Mexico, and the University of Southern California. Dean Kyle agreed with Mr. Cher rington that such a conference would be advisable and the matter was then taken up with John W. Studebaker, United States Com missioner of Education. Early in October Dean Kyle received a let ter from Secretary of State Hull advising him that the conference Inter-American Relations in the Field of Education would be held in Washington November 9 and 10 and invited Dean Kyle to attend the session “and make avail- fable to those discussions your judgment and suggestions”. Fol lowing Dean Kyle’s acceptance of the invitation, he then was invited to arrive in Washington prior to the conference to meet with rep resentatives of a dozen or so uni versities and colleges which are making comprehensive plans on inter-American education. This preliminary conference will be held on the afternoon of Nov ember 8 and will permit a more detailed comparison of courses, projects and plans. Dean Kyle’s program was called “an extraordi nary challenge, which I am sure will be of intense interest to rep resentatives of other institutions” in Mr. Cherrington’s recent letter. To date, 360 acceptances have been received for the conference on edu cation, Mr. Cherrington said, and “it will be a most representative gathering of leaders of higher edu cation in our country.” Among those who will have an important part in the conference will be Commissioner Studebaker; Sumner Welles, Under-Secretary of United States James T. Shot- well, chairman of the . na tional committee of the Unit ed States on International In tellectual Cooperation; Leo S. Rowe, director-general of the Pan- American Union; Clarence H. Har ing, chairman of the committee on Latin American Studies. Secretary Hull will address the gathering at a luncheon session, and George F. Zoo, president of the American Council of Education, will preside at a dinner session. TSC W. Popular Sister School of A. & M. Is Largest Girl’s School in Country Here are a few facts of inter est the latest available about the Texas State College for Women, formerly known as the College of Industrial Arts (C.I.A.), A. & M.’s sister school at Denton which is so near and yet so far! T.S.C.W. and its students have always been highly popular with the Texas Aggies, who throng the campus nearly every weekend. T.S.C.W. is the largest residen tial college for girls in the world, with a 1938-39 enrollment of 2,900 students from 226 Texas counties, 26 states and seven foreign coun tries; and a 1939-40 enrollment of approximately 3,000. The college physical plant is valued at over four million dollars by the state auditor’s report, in cluding a million-and-a-quarter dollar building program completed in 1936 adding seven new build ings to the campus. Residential buildings are nine regular dormi tories and about fifteen coopera tive halls, all filled to capacity. There are nine instructional build ings. The total campus acreage is 182, with a 20-acre camp on Lake Dallas. \ Over 5,200 bachelor degrees have been conferred by the college since 1915, in addition to 200 master of arts degrees since 1930. The fac ulty has grown from 14 to about 175 members, all with master’s degrees and about 40 with doctor’s degrees. Instruction is offered in 42 groups of courses, with grad uate work in seven departments. More than 50,000 students have attended the college. The school is a member of the American Association of Univers ity Women, the Association of Texas Colleges, the Southern Asso ciation of Colleges, and the Asso ciation of American Colleges, and is approved by the American As sociation of Universities It is, furthermore, the only college in Texas approved by the American Library Association for the train ing of school librarians. The name of the institution was changed from College of Industrial Arts in 1934 because the original title was misleading as to the purpose of a liberalized college and caused confusion out of the state. Government of the college is vested in a Board of Regents con sisting of nine members, appointed by the governor of the state with the consent of the state senate. Dr. L. H. Hubbard, president of T.S.C.W. for the past thirteen years, serves as the administrative head and carries out the policies formulated by the board. Dr. Hubbard was born in the U. S. Consulate in Porto Rico, where his father was consul, and spent his early years in El Paso. Edu cated at the University of Texas, he served as teacher, principal, and superintendent in the schools of Sulphur Springs, San Angelo, and Belton. From 1924 to 1926 he served as dean of students at the University of Texas, and in 1926 began his long and progressive term as president of T.S.C.W. He is now in his thirty-fifth year of service in the state’s educational system. -THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 1939 In Canada there is a periodical edited by an Indian chief.

Seniors making the Arkansas trip will be granted authorized passes through the Commandant’s Office. Each senior going will make out his pass, and his name will be listed on a roll that will be taken to Fayetteville. Deadline for these senior authorized ab sences is 4:00 p. m. Friday. Tt will be up to each man to see that his name is checked off at the game. Single cuts will be given, and quizzes may be made up. The members of the band have been given excused absences for the trip. A special train will take the Band to Fayetteville where the University of Arkansas is located. Tickets are available to the student body at $7.75 for a round trip. Because the Athletic Office was not expecting any great attendance from here, very few tickets are on hand for the football game. What few there are will be sold for $2.80 apiece. E. W. Hooker of the office, states that a coupon book ticket and $1.10 will buy en trance to the game. The entire Band of more than 200 members will make the trip to Arkansas to represent A. & M. and its school spirit at the foot ball game between the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas Aggies. Some doubt as to the eligibility of several Band members ‘ had arisen over the issuance of the No vember list of delinquent students. However, the faculty also decided that the whole Band may make the trip without regard to scholastic standing. With real artistry in view, the Band is preparing an elaborate drill for its portion of the period between halves of the game. Among other things, it will design the outlines of both the state of Arkansas and the state of Texas. this laee^s^vU
