Will Rogers—An Institution...
America will pay tribute, to one of its
most beloved sons Tuesday when a life-sized
statue of Wiil Royers is unveiled by General
Dwight D. Eisenhower in Fort Worth before
wf auditorium and coliseum named in his
honor.-The great humorist and philosopher
▼ip killed in a plane crash in 1938 while fly
ing to Alaska with Wiley Post.
Will Rogers became an institution during
hia life-time and his iK.pularity has not a bat
ed with his death. He still survives in his
humor and his great'love for his fellow man.
He is still remembered for his home-spun
philosophical outlook on life, his draw-
love for horses, hia carelessness with mopey,
and his Kenon.aRy endeared him to all hil
fellowmen.
Neither Will Rogers’ philosophy of life,
nor his religion were of the formal type that
could be traced to some school of thought.
Once when he was asked by a minister to
give him his philoeoph^ of living. Will Rog
ers replied. "I was raised predominately a
Methodist, but 1 have traveled so much, mix
ed with so many people in ail parts of the
world, I don’t know now just what I am. I
know 1 have never been a non-believer. But
1 can honestly tell you that I don't think that
speech, awkward walk, and the gum. any one religion is the religion. Which way
seldom left his mouth. you serve your God will never get one word
His native pride, his dps ire to travel, his of argument or condemnation out of me."

from exactly th*' opposite, direction. He
admits tha immediate necessity for world

that the actions and designs of the Soviet
government have obliterated that hope.
'The first step toward peace is one that
the American |>eople must take for them-

public demand, our own government must
demonatrats its willingness to accept with
others the necessary restrictions on nation

"The Russians then will have an oppor

to refuse, a time limit imould be set at tha

Let s Do It Again...
Two weeks ago, when Baylor visited
A. & M., we proved that we could be good
hosts. This week-end we will have an even
more, important game. Southern Methodist,
now in the lead for the Southwest Confer- i
ence crown and victor over Texas, will be
playing on Kyle Field and the Aggie team
will be out to deliver one more upset Feel
ings will run high on both sides. So it’s up
to us once more to prove that we can live
iup to our best reputation.
Here are two letters that came to the
desk of Dean W. L. Penberthy, in apprecia-
.,tioh for our behavior during the Baylor
week-end:
4
all the action required. Of course, the Ag
gies had possession of the ball most of the
afternoon, but Baylor had the ball on nu
merous occasions directly in front of the
Aggie rooting section, and in these instances
the Corps behavior was very sportsmanlike.
“The other game officials, and I am
sure your future opponents, join me in prais
ing the discontinuance of a practice that has
giv^i so much trouble in tne past
Sincerely yours,
Ab Curtis"
