Concerning College Spirit ...
(Adapted from the Atlantic Monthly, Nov., 1915. Abridged)
What do we mean by “College Spirit”? A student may
throw his hat into the air, grab a megaphone, give “three
long rahs”, go through the gymnastics of a cheer-leader—
and yet leave some doubt whether he has adequately de
fined “College Spirit”. Does a student who dissipates his time,
exhibits lawlessness, overdevelops rowdyism, and fails most
of his courses represent College Spirit?
Do not our better recognized educational and scholastic
institutions hold to a finer meaning of the term College
Spirit—such as loyalty to an institution which makes a
student guard its good name by being manly and courte
ous in conduct at all times and in all places? Yes, they mean
the sense of responsibility which aids a student in form
ing habits of temperance and industry. They mean that
eagerness to make a grateful use of his opportunities
which leads a student to keep his own body fit, through
physical training that knows no season—training that is
never broken. By College Spirit some men mean this and
far more; they mean that loyalty to a college which rivets
a man to the severest tasks of scholarship, through which
he gains intellectual power, without which no graduate is
an entire credit to any college, but with which he may be
come a trained, devoted, and inspired alumnus, working for
the welfare of mankind.

County Officials
To See Road Paved
Before Their Eyes
County officials of Texas, al
ways beset with road-building
problems, will witness an actual
demonstration of low-cost, mixed-
in-place asphalting as a feature of
the second annual Conference of
County Officials to be held at Texas

cooperation of the Brazos County
Commissioners Court.
Besides road-building, the coun
ty officials will hear discussions on
stabilization of soils, soil conser
vation, the public land system, and
tax delinquencies, presented by
state officials and college author
ities.
