SPECIAL LECTURE OF GENERAL
INTEREST
“Soil Erosion and Civilization”, a fasci
nating picture-story of man's battle a-
gainst soil erosion since before the dawn
of history, will be presented in an ad
dress in Guion Hall, College Station, Tex
as, at 7:30 p. m., Friday, March 29, by
Dr. W. C. Lowdermilk, Washington, D. C.,
assistant chief of the Soil Conservation
Service. The discussion and the 100 col
ored slides will be based upon Dr. Low-
dermilk’s recent survey, for the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, of land use in
Europe, North Africa, and the Near East.
He will tell how man’s misuse of the
land has destroyed civilizations and how,
taking a lesson from the tragedies of
older civilizations, citizens of the United
States are protecting their resources of
soil, water, timber, and wildlife. The ad
dress, open to the public, will be present
ed in Guion Hall. Dr. Lowdermilk’s ap
pearance will be sponsored by the School

SPEAKER FOR PLANT SCIENCE
SEMINAR
Dr. Edgar Anderson, professor of bo
tany at Washington University and gene
ticist for the Missouri Botanical Garden,
It’s Sportswear
For Spring
will meet with the Plant Sciencee Semi
nar tonight and will lead an informal dis
cussion on “The Place of Measurement in
Biological Problems”. The meeting will
be held in the Experiment Station con
ference room at 7:30 p. m.
Dr. Anderson is one of the outstand
ing botanists of this country and has
an international botanical reputation, par
ticularly for his pioneer work in plant
genecology. He is a graduate of Michi
gan State College, and received his Sc.D.
degere from Harvard University. Later
he did post-doctorate research work in
genetics, statistics, and cytology at the
John Innes Horticultural Institution, Mer
ton, England. In more recent years he
has explored for plants in eastern Europe,
especially in the Balkan Peninsula, in
addition to collecting plants in all parts
of our own country. From 1931 to 1935,
Dr. Anderson was Arborist of the Ar
nold Arboretum, Harvard University. His
training, experience, and extensive re
search work in approaching the solution
of biological problems from many differ
ent angles insure his being an able and
authoritative leader for the discussion
topic, and the seminar is fortunate to
have Dr. Anderson meet with it.

general public, and begin at 7:15
o’clock.
While on the campus Dr. Eddy
will deliver other addresses. Sun
day afternoon he will speak be
fore the Cosmopolitan Club, and
he will also lecture in several of
the sociology classes.
Before arriving at A. & M. Dr.
Eddy will address the South Texas
Conference and the University of
Texas in Austin.
•
Graduated from Yale in 1891,
in 1896 Dr. Eddy went to India at
his. own expense. After fifteen
years’ work among the students
of India he was called to be Sec
retary for Asia for the Y.M.C.A.
and was for many years engaged
with Dr. John R. Mott in work
for students throughout that con
tinent. He was present at the cap
ture of Mukden in Manchuria by
the Japanese in 1931.
In Berlin in 1933 he challenged
the Nazis for their treatment of
the Jews, liberals and radicals. On
June 30, 1934 he saw Hitler and
heard him make his address to the
Reichstag after his “blood bath”.
He has come to know the leaders
in many nations, including the va
rious Prime Ministers of Great
Britain, the Premiers of France,
the Viceroys of India, and such
men as Mahatma Gandhi and
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
The members of his European
Seminar of American educators
who visit the principal countries
of Europe each year were ad
dressed last year by Lord Halifax,
Lord Lothian, Lord Cecil, Lord
Cranborne, the Duchess of Atholl,
Sir Stafford Cripps, Nehru the
political leader of India, Haile Se
lassie, and the leaders of Britain’s
three political parties.

she couldn’t deny that A. & M.’s
national champion footballers were
just that. “Tulane and Sophie
Newcomb students feel that the
Sugar Bowl game was a fine
one and a fair one,” she said.
More than that, Sophie New
comb coeds vote “okeh” where
The Battalion Magazine is con
cerned. “The girls read them in
history classes,” she admitted.
Her parting seed of advice, aft
er declaring that she wasn’t .go
ing to miss the train going back,
was, “Why don’t the Aggies have
their freshmen polish the trophies
in that case?”
So back to New Orleans she
went—at least one girl who wasn’t

That’s Math
Club’s Goal
What number if divided by ten
leaves a remainder of nine; if
divided by nine leaves a remain
der of eight; if divided by eight
leaves seven; and if divided by any
number between one and ten leaves
a remainder of one less than the
number ?
That’s what the Math Club will
try to find out in its meeting to
night at 7 o’clock in room 212,
Academic Building, and it will
also hear mathematics instructor
J. R. Hillman explain the oddities
of magic squares.
The members are sending out
an urgent plea for assistance in
solving this and countless other
interesting mathematical curiosi
ties. The club is designed for stu
dents of A. & M. who are inter
ested in mathematics and who
want to keep their minds alert
in its use. The amount or kind
of math the student has taken is
not important, for the club does
not work with material requiring
advanced knowledge, but rather
with problems that make one “use
the old bean.”
W. T. Guy, president, states
that all visitors and those wanting
to join will be welcome and are
cordially inivted to attend its
meeting tonight.
Cattle Specialist
To Address Students
W. B. Mitchell, widely known
cattle specialist from Marfa, Tex
as, will visit College Station to
hold a meeting of all those inter
ested in Animal Husbandry in
the Animal Industries Building
lecture room, tonight at 7:15. The
meeting is being sponsored by the
Saddle and Sirloin Club.
Mr. Mitchell comes here from
Houston where he judged fat
steers at the Houston Fat Stock
Show and Livestock Exposition.
And by the way, it almost
wasn’t mentioned, but the attrac
tive little double for Miss Davis
is Alice Kinabrew, a “swell gal”
in spite of .her charred opinion
which will probably take an about-
face if she ever returns when
the corps is in the saddle.
“Yes, I’ll be back,” she claimed.
“I want to see the Aggies march
in to mess and a hundred other
things people have been telling
me about in the past three days.”
West Point Loses
To Aggie Team
In Pistol Match
Army defeated Army!
It all came about as the Texas
Aggie Pistol Team once more on
their way to the top downed the
West Point Cadet team with a
margin of 49 points.
The pistol team has recently de
feated Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Cornell University.
Both of the Aggies’ scores in these
two matches were high and some
thing to be noted, and yet in the
match with the West Pointers they
again equaled the mark fired
against Cornell.
New Record Set
L. C. Kennemer set a new rec
ord for collegiate firing and boost
ed the hopes of the team to be
acclaimed the top of the nation.
Kennemere fired a 292 out of a
possible 300.
The freshman squad firing
twenty shots at slow fire and ten
at timed, rather than ten at each
of the two and ten at rapid, fell
to the West Point freshmen 1281
to 1179.

He is well known throughout Tex

cause of his activities in helping
send Texas calves to the corn belt
for fattening. He developed the
livestock show and sale of feeder
cattle which is held at Marfa each
fall.
Various phases of the beef cattle
industry will be discussed at the
meeting to which all Animal Hus
bandry students and others in
terested are invited.
Dr. Andre Philip,
French Economist,
Talks at A. & M.
Dr. Andre Philip, member of the
French Chamber of Deputies and
a professor of Economics and
Finance in the University of
Lyons, Franch, spoke on “Agri
cultural Problems and Legisla
tion Affecting French Agricul
ture,” in the Animal Industries
Lecture room Wednesday at 3
o’clock.
Speaking on political lines he
used as his subject “Europe—A
