Aggie Vet School Largest In Country By Eli Barker Throughout the entire United States there are only ten veterin ary medicine schools, the largest one on the North American con tinent being located at Texas A. & M. Cornell University, Ohio State University, Kansas State College, Coloraoo Agricultural Col lege, Michigan State College, State College of Washington, Iowa State College, and the University of Pennsylvania are where the rest of the vet schools are located. The first school of this kind was opened at New York College of Veterinary Surgeons in 1887. Near ly 35 of these institutions have been established since then, but the widespread substituting of the tractor for horses and mules has caused interest in this field to dwindle until today there are only ten schools left. However, one should not get the’ idea that the services of veterin arians is not in demand because such is not the case. Graduates are assured of immediate employment with established veterinarians, local, state and federal health agencies, animal husbandry medi cal centers and also the army. Some go into private practice and specialize in service to horse and cattle breeders while others go into the more profitable trade of running pet clinics. Almost every year a large per centage of the graduates begin their careers in either food inspec tion or research work, while others go to the Veterinary Corps of the army. Naturally, some continue Yell Practices Fire Spirit Of Fighting Sons Of Texas A.&M. their training in other fields of biology. In 1940-41 when enrollment in the School of Veterinary Medicine at A. & M. was at its peak, there were 376 students from 34 states and countries. Seventy-three grad uates in that year made A. & M. the leading school * in that field. Since this course was first of fered at A. & M. in 1916, there have been approximately 300 to receive their degrees and more than 200 of these hold reserve com missions in the army. The late Dr. Mark Francis, who was a professor of Veterinary Science since 1888, was named as first dean of the school, while serv ing as chief of that division of the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station. One of his greatest contributions was development of a method to immunize cattle from tick fever. Dr. R. P. Marsteller, a graduate of Ohio State University and the University of Michigan, succeeded Dr. Francis on his death in 1936. The faculty has grown from a staff of four men to a school with six departments, which are housed in a $150,000 plant. Some of the courses studied are veterinary ana tomy, hygiene, medicine and sur gery, parasitology, pathology, bac teriology, physicology, and phar macology. —A&M— (Continued froin page 1) 1891 and under his reign student em’ollment flourished and educa tional facilities increased. Ross was a great military figure and leader, and one whom people looked to for leadership. The Ross Volun teers, crack drill outfit of the campus which has been susupended By Alfred Jefferson Yell practices are another of the many deeply-rooted traditions at A. & M. Each football and basket ball season, a number of them are held before every game. At this time, yell practices are held every Monday and Thursday, after sup per. All freshmen and sophomores must attend yell practices. As they arrive, the freshmen form in a body in front of the yell leaders’ platform and begin to “hump it”. during the war, was named in honor of this great statesman. Such men as Foster, Harrington, Legett, Puryear, Bizzell, Law, and Walton have been great leaders in the growth of the college. In honor of these men, there are buildings and dormitories which have been named after them. As one strolls about the campus, he is impressed with the size and grandeur of the physical plant. There are many beautiful buildings about the grounds, old buildings and new. Men who go to A. & M. can be proud of the op portunity they had to learn at this institution. Not only did they learn from the classroom but they learn ed from the close association with other men about the campus. Through these associations, tradi tions have been formed which have remained through the years to make Aggieland the place it is. Starting with a few thousand acres and growing to the great land size it is today, A. & M. ranks with the top institutions of higher learning. Freshmen hold this pdisition throughout the yell practice. \Be- fore the yell leaders appear, ijhe freshmen chant “Beat Oklahoma”, or the team we are to play the next week. The sophomores stand in' a row behind the freshmen, the jun iors behind them, and the seniors and exes next. During the yells everyone humps. The freshmen near the front tell those behind them the next yell is to be. They in turn pass them to the rear. Immediately after the yell is over, everyone stands up and “wildcats”, which means to wave their arms and shout. After this the freshmen resume their hump. At every yell practice, there are a number of speeches. These are made by exes, prominent men of the campus, or by the yell lead ers themselves. Usually, when a man says something about our ap proaching victory, the freshmen rise and wildcat for a few sec onds. These yell practices do much to build up the Aggie Spirit. Every one learns the yells, so that we will make the usual good showing of the Spirit at the football games. For this reason, the servicemen on the campus have been cordially invited and urged to attend the practices by the cadet corps. DR. N. B.
