Freshmen mind your manners.
While you are forming first im
pressions of A. & M., first impres
sions are being formed of you—and
first impressions may be lasting,
you know.
You’ll hear a lot about discipline
here at A. & M.; the young man
with nice manners will know
what do do about it; he’ll have a
proper attitude toward discipline
even though, up to now, he has been
accustomed to a life comparative
ly free from restraints.
The way you will live in your
contacts with the school has been
pretty much outlined for you by
the college. Your life with your
fellow students has already been
established for you. As an individ
ual, keep your enthusiasm, except
as it must be modified to suit the
needs and experiences in your
school; don’t do any crusading.
The ideal combination for you to
have is a genuine sense of pride
and loyalty in your school and your
church. It is important that you get
along well with your school and
your associates.
