After the war people are likely to forget that the associations of the mili tary life are one of the most im portant things in the development of young manhood and we are likely to have to call it by another name but to continue in greatness A. & M. must maintain its military atmosphere.” He pointed out that although an engineer he would not neglect agriculture, veterinary medicine, or any other phase of the college. Near the end of his address Gil christ stated that he hoped to im prove faculty, student relationships but that it was not a one-sided af fair. He said that it would take both sides working together. Gilchrist closed his speech with a tribute to his wife by saying that “We both pledge our best efforts in making A. & M. a great institu tion.” Ralph W. Steen, secretary of the general faculty, presided as | toastmaster of the banquet and in troduced F. C. Bolton, Dean of the i College, who introduced Gilchrist, j Bolton in his introduction called Gilchrist a man of engineering and administrative ability.

Bryan Red Cross Workers Finish Bandage Quota ‘ Gauze for the August-September Red Cross surgical dressing quota for Brazos County, consisting of 30,000 2-by-2 inch and 7,200 4-by-8 inch dressings, has been received from Red Cross headquarters, and the work rooms at College Station and Bryan will reopen Tuesday, Mts. Betty Howard, Brazos coun ty surgical dressing chairman, has announced. Responding to a speed-up pro gram of the War Department in keeping with increased tempo of j military activities on all fronts, Brazos county women completed the June-July quota of 52,200 sur gical dressings two weeks ahead, of schedule, and these work rooms 1 had to be closed pending arrival j next two months, Mrs. Howard said. Mrs. C. J. Hudson is chairman of the College Station room, which is located at 413 Throckmorton, and Mrs. F. H. Wilson is chair man of the Bryan unit on the sec ond floor of the Carnegie Library. Surgical dressing rooms at Col lege Station and Bryan now are using the new waterproof bags ahd boxes designed to furnish maxi mum protection against the ele ments, Mrs. Howard said. Practi cally all surgical dressings are shipped overseas. Due to lack of adequate dock facilities at many points of destination, lighter sup plies, including surgical dressings, often- are thrown overboard from ships and floated to shore. Often these packages have to be stored in the open and moved from place to place in all kinds of weather. Their protection, therefore, is a matter of vital importance. The War Department is issuing a special carton for use in packag ing the dressings. The new carton is approximately three cubic feet in size and the size is standard for a ll types of dressings. An extra corrugated lining is also provided in order to strengthen it and a large bag three cubic feet in size, made of special waterproof paper is provided to go in each box. When bags of dressings are filled they are placed in this large water proof bag. A special type of ad hesive tape is also furnished for use in sealing the cartons. Under the new system of pack ing only one-half the number of surgical dressings are packed in the new carton as compared with the number packed in the ones for merly used, Mrs. Howard said. High compliments paid extrava gantly are likely to cause infla tion, too. * STUDENT CO-OP Bicycle and Radio Repair PHONE 4-4114
