To him, the problems of

Information and Publications: at
A&M, addressed the group op the
development of the Scholarship
program at A&M, In his tuli,
Shuffler stressed two basic ideals
of the college. The" first of these
was that A&M is primarily an edu
cational institution; of senior rank
whose aim is to stress agriculture,
engineering, and citizenship. :
The second, ideal of A&M, Shuf
fler stated, was to provide equal
opportunities to obtain liberal anil
practical education advantages at
tl)e lowest possible cost for all stu-'
dents.
j Shuffler mentioned the unsuc
cessful attempts which were made
to secure State sponsored scholar
ships. He further commented on
the establishment of the Develop-
ipent Board which was set up to
provide opportunities for students
with limited means to do scholarly
work. Up until 1946 po definite
plans of administration had :been
set to handle scholarships : and
prizes which the college hsjd to
Offer at that time.
{ He' continued by pointing out!
that in 1946 there were 47 prizes ,
and scholarships available which f
Were valued at $16,500. At this
time the Development Board re-;'
commended to the College Admin-;
istration and to the Board Of Di-]
rectors the presenj plan for award
ing the scholarships and prizes.
The program is now handled by
the Scholarships Committee;which'
consists of the Dean of thje Col
lege, the Dean of Men, the Secre
tary of the Former Student As
