buildings in the Engineering School
is the Petroleum-Geology build
ing (1932) where the geology and
petroleum, offices, classrooms, and
laboratories are located. The Chem
istry building (1927, second wing
1929) contains the classrooms, of
fices, and laboratories for the
teaching of all phases of chemis
try. The Physics building (1920)
is equipped with all of the neces
sary equipment, including lecture
rooms, and well-equipped labora
tories. The Electrical Engineering
department has a building of its
own (1912) which includes much
electrical equipment. The Civil En
gineering Building (1900), which
contains the oldest engineering de
partment of the college is thor
oughly equipped for every branch
of the civil engineering profession
—highways, structural, and hy
draulic engineering.
The School of Agriculture is
equipped with a physical plant val
ued at more than a million and
one quarter dollars. A few of the
more recently constructed buildings
are the Agriculture Building
(1922), which includes administra
tive offices, classrooms, and lab
oratories for the study of all sub
jects relating to agriculture; the
Animal Husbandry Paviling (1916),
which contains a large judging
arena surrounded by concrete seats
for 1,600 spectators, besides class
rooms and offices; the Animal In
dustries building (1933) which pro

and the dairy barns (1916) which
provide facilities for the handling
of various classes of livestock.
The athletic plant has grown
from the open field of 1903 to the
present day stadium on Kyle Field
which will seat 36,000 spectators,

giving a benefit show. This fund
will grow larger and more useful
to Aggies as it grows older, but
1941 was its initial year.
Through all its trials and ef
forts, the year of ’41 has been
eventful, to say the least. No ar
ticle, no matter of what length,
could adequately describe the prog
ress made by Aggies during the
year, the new friendships formed,
or the value to the school. But it
will be remembered by all who
were here as a year of events and
a year well worthy of cherished
memories.
3,500, a swimming pool which will
accommodate 600 spectators, and
an auxiliary gymnasium for use
chiefly in intramural activities.
There are fourteen tennis courts,
both clay and concrete; baseball
diamonds, and fields for football
and speedball. The intramural
sports department has facilities
so that all students may partici
pate in the intramural program.
The department of Veterinary
Medicine is equipped with a mod
em veterinary hospital which is
fully equipped to handle all types
of cases. Classrooms and labora
tories are provided for this de
partment in the hospital.
The Y. M. C. A. has a reading
and writing room and a parlor
where various club meetings are
held and in addition, fine recrea
tion rooms with bowling alleys,
billiard tables, and ping pong
tables. The new dormitory is also
provided with a separate Y. M. C.
A. which serves that area.
A few other campus buildings
are the Administration building,
the Museum, the Cushing Memorial
Library, with over seventy thou
sand volumes and some 350 period
icals, and the Academic building,
which contains the various class
rooms of the English, Economics,
History, Architecture, and Math
ematics departments.
Music at A. & M.—
(Continued from page 5)
to furnish music for various oc
casions. The membership is made
up of students who like to sing
and enjoy the fellowship which
singing affords and who have de
cided to make the Singing Cadets
one of their chief extra-curricula
activities.
Consisting of 107 members, the
Cadets sing at banquets, college
assemblies, religious services, and
for special programs of all kinds.
Unlike the band, which gives no
credit in music, the Cadets receive
one hour’s credit each semester for
their work.
Very successful concert tours to
South and East Texas were taken
by the Cadets thi s spring.
Feature of the year’s work for the
organization was it’s command
performance for Town Hall given
at popular request.
Students with vocal talent who
enjoy singing are extended an in
vitation to try-out with the Cadets
at the beginning of the school
year.
For those whose music interest
runs along popular lines there’s
the Aggieland Orchestra, the
school’s own popular dance band.
Composed entirely of Aggies, the
special dances during the spring
band plays for football and corps
dances in the fall and for club and
social season.
It plays for the annual Cotton
Ball and Style Show, one of the
biggest events of the entire year,

tion Engines, and an Engineering
Drawing course. Each of these
courses averages around fifteen
men enrollment.
In this program the college is
offering an opportunity to anyone
interested in obtaining training in
one of the many phases of engi
neering, all of which are short of
men in the present emergency. No
tuition is required in order to take
any of the courses, and the only
expense attached is room, board
and the necessary text books.
The twelve weeks required to
cover the courses is one full of
hard work for the men taking
them, in that they go eight hours
a day, six days a week and in some
cases they even attend night class
es. After they have finished they
receive a certificate that is equiva
lent to one year of experience in
the Civil Service.
Smoker For Seniors

vocalists with his band and made
“Star Dust” and “The Last Time
I Saw Paris” more popular than
ever.
Eddie Fitzpatrick played for the
Cavalry when they had their regi
mental ball, and the Infantry had
Duke Ellington. Ellington also
played for the Town Hall program
which each year features some
popular orchestra which comes
here. Playing without music, El
lington’s boys put on a talented
and entertaining program.
The Ross Volunteer dances, which
come for three days during spring
holidays, had Phil Levant play for
their Queen’s Ball, Captain’s Ball,
and dinner dance.
The sophomore and freshman
classes had their dances as part of
the social season. A Barnyard Fro
lic, Cattlemen’s Ball, Cotton Pag
eant and Ball and numerous corps
dances have all had their part in
the years events which will end in
June with Final Ball and Final Re
view.
as well as for numerous spring
corps dances.
Each Christmas the band goes on
a two weeks tour of Texas cities
playing for Christmas dances. The
spring semester is punctuated with
week end trips to festivals and
dance engagements.
The orchestra takes on several
new men at the beginning of each
year and try-outs are conducted by
the leader at that time.

Engineers’ Day—
(Continued from Page 1)
A liquid air show will be the
principal feature of the chemical
engineer’s part of the day’s activi
ties. They will also show chemical
reactions and the manufacture of
synthetic materials, showing the
uses of chemistry in national de
fense.
The petroleum engineering de
partment will demonstrate re
search methods and field displays
showing actual pumping and drill
ing of oil wells. The exhibits are
presented and explained in a non
technical manner so that laymen
may understand the principles in
volved.
All of the exhibits and demon
strations will be explained by stu
dents of the departments, and
students had a large part in set
ting up and planning the exhibits.
The seven cadets who have been
placed in charge of the exhibits
of their departments are: LaVere
Brooks, architectural engineering;
J. R. Nalley, mechanical engineer
ing, Ed Ivey, chemical engineering,
W. A. Collins, aeronautical engi
