E. J. Kyle, retired dean of agri
culture ahd unofficial advisor to
Latin Anibriclin students, has been
named Man of the Month in a, pub
lication of 1 the East Texas Cham
ber of Commerce;
When Kyle retired as Dean ,of
Agriculture in December, 1944,
thousands of Aggies in Texas and
all parts of the .United States, as
well as men in the armed forces
over the entire globe, said, “There
will never be anyohe to replace
Dean Kvle.”
Since he first joined the fac
ulty in June, 1902, he has helped
many a struggling Aggie to re
gain a foothold on the ladder
of success. | - j. \ •
In a meeting'of tfie Texas Ag
gies held in Germany on the Rhine
during World. War II, Dean Kyle’s
resignation was the most widely
discussed subject.
Edwin J. Kyle was born in Kyle,
Texas, July 22, 1876. He attended
public schools: and graduated from
A&M in the 1899 class, having
worked most of his. way through
college. ;
During hfa senior year he was
senior captain, president of his
class, president of the Y.M.C.A.,
find valedictorian. He was the only
student in the history of the Col
lege to act as Commandant or be
given a seat in the ifacufty.
j He graduated with a B.S. de
gree in Agriculture from Cornell
AUniversity and received hfa M-8.
degree In Agriculture from the
rity of Arkansan.
velopment of the Farmer’s Short
Course held each year at A&M. *
Dean Kyle was also president
for 1J years of the Athletic As
sociation at A&M and built up I
one of the best organized and"
most successful athletic aSsida-
tlons in the Southwest. The ath
letic field bears his name as A
tribute to his work for athletics.
His report on a tour of Centro]
and South Ataerica in 19jil was
translated into Spanish, and was
published by the government of
Nicarauga. This Fed to his ap
pointment as United States Am
bassador to Guatemala in 1945 by
President Truman, mhFfng him the-
only man in the history of the U.
S., trained in technical agriculture
and education, to be appointed to
this post. 1 {, '

wopd, .1948-49 editor of the Engi-
npeTdeclared here recently.

t, who is making them pos-

the advertising to bo carried in
the magazine.
Creation of an engineering mag
azine resulted when its need be
came apparent >to fill« void in the
school of engineering. A needed
voice for the engineering students,
an outlet a particular to their

at A&M, i problem which has
been amply ,iltlffied by the EN
