Dean Kyle— (Continued from Page 1) a correction to be made in the list the college’s 65-year history who served as commandant of cadets while still a student. The behind-the-scenes story on that is a favorite with the dean. “The Spanish-American War gut ted our military staff,” he said, “and, as a result, a civilian com mandant was appointed. Late in my senior year (1899) he was stricken seriously ill so, as corps commander, I became commandant until his recovery a month later.” After three years of graduate work at Connell, the dean returned to A. & M. at commencement time in 1902. At that time he received an appointment as an instructor in charge of the horticulture de partment. His rise in the institution’s fac ulty was rapid. In 1905 he was made a full professor and in 1911, with the creation of the school of agriculture, he became its first dean. “The school of engineering has had five deans, but the agriculture school has only had one,” the dean proudly said. Of great importance to the state has been Dean Kyle’s work in the field of agriculture. The state’s famed Farmers’ Short Course held at A. & M. each summer is one of the dean’s projects. More than 5,000 farmers attend this educa tional event each summer. The annual Smith-Hughes Day activities which drew 2,500 farm boys to the A. & M. campus each spring is another of the dean’s undertakings. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, a close friend of Dean Kyle’s, one said that his work was of particu lar value to the state and nation because the dean stressed the eco nomic as well as the productive side of agriculture. More than 800 Texas A. & M. cadets are now majoring in the field of agricultural economics, a vital factor in the college’s high ranking position among the na tion’s agricultural institutions. But agriculture and livestock haven’t been the dean’s only in terests. He’s also a prominent fig ure in Texas athletics. In 1903, a year after he came to the college, he became chair man of the athletic council. “Those were really nip and tuck days,” he reminesced. “Why, the only place we had to play football was the old parade ground.

Cotton Ball Royalty Selected Ruling Aggieland as King and Queen of the eleventh annual Cotton Ball and Pageant May 2 will be James T. Anderson, Texas A&M senior from Mesquite, and Connie Lindlev. Fort Worth freshman at Texas State College for Women. Anderson Is president of the Agronomy Society which sponsors the event at A&M. Miss Lindley and seven of her attendants were chosen by a committee of Aggies from TSCW's 100 charm princessea at the annual Redbud Festival. Infantry Ball— (Continued from Page 1) of chaperones in the programs as the names of Colonel and Mrs. F. V. M. Dyer and Lieutenant and Mrs. Earl Aldrich were omitted because of the uncertainty of their being here at the time of the Infantry Ball. only way we could support athletics was to pass a hat among the spec tators—if we had any—and get as much money as we could that way. We would have been lynched if we had tried to charge two-bits —let alone $2.50 admission to those g-ames.” He’s the one man in the state today who can tell you the real blood and thunder stories about A. & M. athletics. He’s still chairman of the athletic council, but he soon plans to resign from this position; something which he has already done three times, but he is always drafted for the job when the going gets rough. A director of the Farm Credit Administration and a trustee of the Luling Foundation, of which he is a founder, Dean Kyle’s life has been one of service to Texas farmers and livestock men. Sterling Evans, president of the Federal Land Bank, once keynoted the dean’s place in the hearts of Texans when he said, as he intro duced the dean at a Houston ban quet,” ... so here we have the most loved man in Texas—a man who has a welcome entrance into more homes than any other person in the state.” Elections— (Continued from Page 1) nomics. He is the vice-president of the junior class, sergeant-major of the cadet corps, secretary of the Student Aid Fund and was the only junior on the campus listed in Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities this year. The election was held under the supervision of the Student Elect ion Committee. Gillis has not definitely com pleted plans for The Battalion for next year but stated they would be announced soon. After the re mainder of the staff has been se lected, the juniors will take _ over the paper in the positions they will hold next year to gain added ex perience in these positions. Fairmont (W. Va.)
