$645,958—an average of $64,595

Last year, however, the former

Exes Solicit
Solicitatiion of these gifts is
handled entirely by the Association
of Former Students and has be-
copie one of the major features of
the association’s activities. The
governing body of the association
selects the objectives for such gifts.
Major objectives and accomplish
ments of annual giving have includ
ed assisting in construction of the
Memorial Student Center, $190,-
500; establishment of the former
students’ endowed scholarship fund,
$60,000; setting up a Gold Star

helping the college in collection,
preservation and documentation of
the college’s archives, $10,000.
Story of A&M
The principal objective for 1951
is to provide funds for writing and
publishing a “Story of Texas A&M
College.” The Former Students As
sociation has engaged George Ses
sions Perry to write the book,
which it hopes will be ready for
delivery next Fall as a 75th anni
versary present to the college.
The first $50,000 for the Oppor
tunity Award scholarships came
from the annual gifts of A&M men
to the development fund.
The college now has a total of
$426,600 in endowed funds for
scholarships and fellowships, and
these funds are showing steady
growth, McQuillen reported.

Owner of $21,000 Champion
Picks A&M for Education
Twenty-one thousand dollars is lots of money to a
thirteen year old boy when it comes to deciding how to
spend a newly acquired fortune.
But Andrew Tatsch, 4-H Club member from Crabapple,
has plans of his own for the money paid him for his grand
champion steer at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition
last week.
The first expenditure from his now bulging pockets will
go to finance an education at A&M. He says he wants to be
a rancher and A&M is the logical place to learn about the
business he has already proved prosperous in.
The $21,000 was paid Andrew by B. B. McGimsey, re
presentative from a San Antonio Brewing Company and is
believed to be some kind of record for prices paid for the
grand champion steer by Exposition officials in the Alamo
City. McGimsey’s price tops the $17,000 paid by oilman,
Glenn McCarthy recently for the Houston Fat Stock Show
grand champion steer.
Before leading the prize steer into the arena, Andrew
told friends he hoped to get between $2,000 and $3,000 for
the animal.
