been and aer being trained to
better perform their jobs in war
industry. In close connection with
the above, there was established a

ing with a thorough knowledge of
its workings acquired during seven
years of service as dean of the
School of Engineering. He is tak
ing office with the announced in
tention of:
1. Securing better coordination
between agricultural and engineer
ing facilities in promoting the de
velopment of Texas’ natural re
sources and the State’s economy.
2. Increased salaries for mem
bers of the staff and the faculty
at Texas A. & M.
3. Intensification of research
and graduate work.
4. Cooperation between the Ex

President Gilchrist’s first for
mal appearance was his introduc

the Association of Former Stu

at College Station, May 26, where
he was given a rising ovation, and
a formal resolution pledging sup
port and sincere congratulations.
In response, President Gilchrist
said, “the opportunity of becoming
president of the Texas A. & M.
College is the greatest thing that
ever came to me and I approach it
with the deepest humility. I invite
your suggestions—and your criti
cisms. They do not have to be con
structive criticisms. Any success
that I may have attained in my
life has been due largely to the
criticisms I have received from my
true friends. I pledge you that
every drop of my blood will be
dedicated to making a great insti
tution greater.”
