Though thought iprovoking, we cannot
agree with all the old man maintains;
True, our system could stand some broad
ening, but to broaden at the expense of
making this college for a select few in
tellectuals causes us to disagree loudly*
Mass production education has its place
in our country, and though our products
are not the finely tuned specialists that
more technical, schools graduate, A&M
graduates are men who can take their
place in the world with other men.

any mass produced automobile.”
People all over the country read of
Tucker’s indictment with mixed emotions.
They wondered if the colorful creator of

lengthy charges] Of one thing they were
