Sweaters seem to be in vogue nt
all colleges in all parts of the:
United-States. There are slipoyers,
sleeveless, turtleneck, and plain
krilt sweaters of all Colors to fit
the whims of all students.
In places where the mercury
tumbles tp the depths of the ther
mometer, jBtridents wear top coats
and gloves. In many parts of the
country, however, the temperature
is such that no more than a good
leather jacket or half-length top
coat is enough to shield the stu

the apparel consists of the military

“Here’s where , I played short

D. P. McAlpine, .clbss of ’92. Old

said Mac, “Walter

These recollections by McAlpine
wefe confirmed by records compil
ed'by P. iL Dovfns.
Resident manager and partner!
in the Dallas office of a national,
accounting firm, McAlpine visit
ed the A&M campus recently
while conducting official bUSL
nesS with the City of College
Station. ,
Those were' the days when A&M
was young and the Corps consist

was. commandant and ;Sj unlday
morning inspections by hijbii and
ranking cadet officer Walter Al

McAlpine remembers the famous
“insurrection of 1892” when the
corps! protested as a body when h
senior classman who was p four
year private was named. Officer
of the Day by theiComraandant. In
that_day and time the 0. t). was
a man of great power and impor-
taneb and iri the, eyes of the corps
such an act was a crime and an in
sult to tlhe cadet officers of the
corpk <
Old Mac’s “hole” was in Gath-
right Hall, one of the five build
ings, on the campus at -that Vine.
The mess hall was on th^ bot
tom ftoor of Gathright, where
Aggie mess hall slanguage such
as ‘’cush’’ and “gunwaddin’ ” was
born.
McAlpine was a Mechanical En-
gineeijng student during his] days
at - A&M arid remembers tjaking
mathematics under the watchful
them cake and punch or other
“goodies.”
Another diversion from campuu
activities, in the words of McAl
pine, was to “stroll down to the
railroad station after the cessa
tion of daily hostilities on the
campus, cross the tracks, enter a
little country store, buy peanut
candy, sit on a bench on the gallery
of the little store and chew peanut
capdy and shoot the bull with
some fugitive from the Brazos
b0t^tonls. , ' .i j ,i
Uniforms worn by the cadet
corps then, were Very similar to
those-of West Point. They were
gray with a black stripe down
the side. They had a high collar
cap* with a black visor,
cadets had to buy their uni-
.....s in Bryan.
As old Mac strolled about the
present day campus and recalled
eye of Bob Smith. L. L. l^cG-iimis j the nights 1 in '92 whim he walked
htinel duty in the wee small

/ As Iuis always been the Case,
--me Aggies of that day and tifne
had; their diversions. Il seems
that there was ■ little string
musical organization, rio doubt
nncestdrs of the Aggie Ramblers
which used to ride the old muUl*
powered bus over the dirt roa«)r

i elements of the Bryan “40(1”.*
Star entertainer of the group
