f I Letters to the Editor Continued LT’L ABNFxTl E "V “What is the new generation com ing to?” from our elders. It is assumed that our elders have already assumed adulthood and picked a goal or purpose in life. The elders with whom we are associated are the members of the faculty, and it is to be expected that they have chosen as their goal success as individuals and also as a group. What should some of their objectives be? May I respect fully make some genex’al sugges tions ? The supreme objective of every person who chooses teaching for his profession should be to pass on to every student all the know ledge that he has acquired, and to help and guide each student to be as receptive as possible. Any per son pursuing this objective could rely upon the unfailing gratitude of each of his students. Is it not true that the friendly, personal at titude is the most richly productive among all human beings? Am I suggesting the impossible —a more personal attitude between our students and faculty? No! In spite of the large size of this school, sincere efforts on both sides could achieve this personal atti tude. Only a few of the old timers among the faculty have ever been inside of, or even near one of the dormitories. Were they invited, even during inspections or open house ? Probably not. The only in terest that most staff members can have in our athletics is the number of us who cut classes to see them. We don’t encourage them to get any closer than that. There are undoubtedly some members of the faculty and staff who are absolutely not intereested in any student activities or problems, re gardless of student attitude, but I believe that most of those who have objectives akin to that I out lined previously, could not fall in that group. Why must it be a guessing game between students and teachers ? Whether a man graduates with an “A” average or a “C” average is a very poor measure of what he has gained from attending col lege, so why can’t the students con- centx-ate on learning all they can, and the faculty on teaching all they can, instead of both concen trating principally on grades. I think it is a disgrace for a student to start to study for a quiz and in surveying the material say to himself, “My prof surely won’t ask that on the quiz. It’s pretty important.” That same stu dent then proceeds to attempt to guess whiclx part of the relatively A & M METHODIST CHURCH You are cordially invited to at tend all the church services.

James Jackson Pastor Wednesday: 6:00 P.M.—Dinner — program for Aggies unimportant material will be the subject of the quiz. I don’t know, but I sometimes wonder if some of the profs try to guess what we will study and then ask something else. Please don’t get red in the face over these statements, for I real ize that everyone is not guilty, but I am sure that these things are too often true for the good of the school and all concenxed. Before closing this letter, I would like to point out that I am from only one side of the wall, and that I have therefore had some difficulty in scaling to the top i>f the wall and assuming an overall view. My desire in writing this letter is to bring- to the attention of everyone the fact that the prob lem is before us, and to encouiage some constructive thought and ac tion. Let me emphasize again that it is a condition that exists right now, and is a result of faults on both sides of the wall. Let’s make the necessary changes and build a greater Texas A&M.

What grand airs he liked to as sume! .What vain boasts poured from his lips! He was forever trying to make an impression, but most people saw through his false front. They called him a STUFFED SHIRT! Aira and vanity rarely fool us. We look for the inner qualities of a man’s character. Only when those inner qualities are just as fine as the external impres sion he makes — only then are we sure we have met a man of the highest mettle. The Church builds char acter! Into the life of the individual and of the com munity it pours those mor al and spiritual influences which develop man’s innate nobility. Through religious education and the worship of God, the Church points young and old to the high goals and rich resources of Christian living.
