tionships with the college staff he
said that, ‘T have never bothered
to dislike anybody because I have
been too busy to do it.”
“A. & M. will continue to build
character, bodies and tolerance,”
said Gilchrist, “and I attribute
much of A. & M.’s greatness, in a
large part, to the military life that
is a part of the student’s. 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

College, who introduced Gilchrist, j
Bolton in his introduction called
Gilchrist a man of engineering and
administrative ability. He also said

with Gilchrist he had observed him
to be a man of conviction and fine
judgment with vision to put Texas
in the forefront in economic, social,
and educational affairs.
Visitors at the banquet included
men from Sam Houston State
Teachers’ College; North Texas
Agricultural College; Mrs. T. O.
Walton, wife of former President
T. O. Walton, who received a roar
ing ovation; F. M. Law, chairman
of the Board of Directors; and Ru
fus Peeples, president of the As
sociation of Former Students.
Law made a short talk in which
he stated again that, “Gilchrist has
the full and unreserved support of
the Board and that he was sure
that Gilchrist had the support of
the faculty. With that combination
he will make a great president.”
Four members of the corps were
present at the banquet. The corps

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. *
