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.

Arkansas Trip—
(Continued from page one)
pledged $12 or better; several
have given more than this
amount.
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.
