SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS
The rules formerly permitted seniors
to take, not to exceed two, special exam
inations under certain conditions. The
general faculty in October eliminated
special examinations entirely. In order
to make the transition from the former
rule less abrupt, the general faculty on
February 19 adopted
ger
the
following
in effect only until September, 1940:
A senior who, on April 1, lacks only
one subject for graduation may be allow
ed a special examination in that subject
provided:
(a) the subject was taken in class sub
sequent to his junior year,
(b) the student is passing all the work
of his current schedule with grades
which will give him a mathemati
cal chance to graduate at the end
of the semester,
(c) only one special examination may
be given any student.
These special examinations are to be
scheduled for a designated Saturday aft
ernoon early in April.
A similar privilege of taking one ex
amination about the middle of their final
summer term is to be extended to stu
dents who are to graduate in the summer
school.

General Faculty.

Report on Holik
School Site Fund
To contributors to the Holik
School Site Fund:
In accordance with the request
of M. L. Cushion, treasurer, J. W.
Mitchell and D. B. Gofer, I have
examined the record of receipts
and disbursements of the Holik
School Site Fund for the period
from April 1, 1939, to February 14,
1940.
Contributions were received in
the amount of $5,052.50. Of this
amount, $5,039.75 was applied to
the purchase of a school site and
costs incidental thereto, leaving a
balance of $12.75 on February 14 ;
1940. The committee had intend
ed to use part of the funds to con
struct a fence to enclose the school
grounds, but, at the request of the
members of the board of the A. &
M. Independent School District,
$763.00 was applied to the pur
chase of additional land. This
transaction practically exhausted
the fund.
The members of the committee
stated that there were no outstand
ing obligations against the fund
as of the above date. Unpaid sub
scriptions totaled $127.25.
In my opinion there has been a
proper accounting for the receipts
as recorded in the accompanying
statements.

John C. Burns—
(Continued from page 1)
In 1926, he again entered the em
ploy of the American Shorthorn
Breeders’ Association with head
quarters at Kansas City and served
for four years as field representa
tive in the Western and Southwest
ern states.
Beginning in 1930, he was gener
al manager for the Texas Livestock
Marketing Association, which now
operates on the principal livestock
markets of the United States.
Another expansion in his sphere
of activity came in 1933, when
Burns accepted appointment as co
trustee of the S. B. Burnett Estate,
while continuing his livestock mar
keting work until the following
June. Now he is senior trustee
and general manager of the S. B.
Burnett Estate and since Jan. 1,
1939, has also served as manager
of the Tom L. Burnett Estate.
Almost every week Burns goes
to West Texas to visit some of the
Burnett Estates’ ranches that are
measured in hundreds of thousands
of acres. The S. B. Burnett Estate
owns and operates the 6666
Ranches, a breeding ranch in King
County and a steer ranch, Dixon
Creek, in Carson and Hutchinson
Counties. The Tom L. Burnett
Estate, which runs the Triangle
brand, includes two ranches, the
larger one in Cottle, Foard, and
Hardeman Counties, and the other
in Wichita County.
Burns was a judge at the Cali
fornia State Fair in Sacramento in
1919. He has been called back
to judge that show every four or
five years until four years ago,
when he was invited back for three
successive times. He specializes in
beef cattle and steers in singles
and carlbts.
He judged at the Golden Gate
International Livestock Exposition
in February and again in April of
1939. In 1937 and 1938 he judged
at the Western Livestock show in
Los Angeles and has been a steer
judge at the Fort Worth show for
a number of years. Also he has
been a judge at the International in
Chicago, American Royal in Kansas
City, and various other livestock
shows and state fairs.

partly, of course, to the novelty
of seeing Charles Boyer and Dan-
nielle Darrieux in the picture that
brought about her discovery, and
later brought her to America. The
most valuable part was to see
that the picture as a representa
tive of a cross-section of French
ideas and treatment of society. The
picture could not be classed as re
presentative of life in France be
cause the story was laid in Aus
tria. It was noteworthy that the
producers of movies in Europe al
so manage to make one of the
chief characters, even in this tra
gedy, one of comic relief. In this
case is was the gossipy old woman
who was Rudolph’s cousin. Her car_
ryings on greatly resemble some
this writer has seen in American
movies. Maybe Europeans are hu
man after all?
Another educational feature of
the show was the strict compliance
of the picture to history as writ
ten in the encyclopedia. There was
an Archduke in Austria by the
name of Rudolph, who married in
to nobility, became unhappy and
almost insane until meeting a
young girl. Finding they could not
be married, and knowing that they
would not be happy separated, they
went to a real estate in Austria,
known as Mayerling, and together
committed suicide.
