THE BATTALION
College Executives Plan Big
Students Should Meet
And Know Their College
Administrative Officials
The men who are responsible for the administration of the affairs of
any school are its officials. Ten men at Texas A. & M. college have these
duties, and these responsibilities. Guided by President T. O. Walton, these
men direct the course of the school.
Believing that all the students should know them and what they do,
we print their pictures on this page with accompanying thumb-nail
sketches of their individual accomplishments. These men welcome and
encourage visits from students who would avail themselves of this oppor
tunity for guidance and counsel and for valuable contacts with men pre
eminent in their respective fields.

1925, Dr. Walton came to A. & M.
