Dr. Allen Stockdale, Speaker Lectures In Noted MSC By T. D. BRADY “A college education that casts us in a mold is worthless!

Phone 4-5054 major from California, was fea tured on his trumpet along with Howard Curtis, math . professor, on the piano. Sid Cox, English professor, read several short poems and anecdotes and told jokes. A barbershop quartet sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” The quartet consisted of four Fish students: Vernon Lamb, Houston, Dwight Allen, Wichita Falls, Carl Heliums, Ban- quete, and John Stahl, Carrizo Springs. One of the highlights of the show was “Uncle” Ed Harring ton, CE professor, and his guitar. Uncle Ed played and sang several ballads. One of the songs, a Mex ican tune, was dedicated to a stu dent from Mexico City, George Marentes. The whole student body joined in group singing. Rick Black, a var sity swimmer from Houston, led the group in some popular songs and choruses. The program came to an end with a group singing of “The Spirit of Aggieland” led by the 6-year- old grandson of mathematics pro fessor, R. R. Lyle. A man told police recently his car had been stolen and he pleaded for a quick recovery. He said he could get along without the car for a few days but he had to have his false teeth. They were in the glove compartment. Speaking from the platform of the MSC ballroom on human rela tions in business and the power of education he kept his audience alternating between a pin-drop ping quiet and gales of laughter. Stresses Honesty In the first address, dealing with the importance of honest, Chris tian human relations between management and labor, Stockdale stated that “80 percent of the problems of production in industry are due to human factors,” and that in industry “the trend is to more understanding of human beings.” In the second address, entitled “Education is Power,” Stockdale warned that our form of govem- ment, our ideals, our very free dom, is endangered by communisrn, and told his audience it was their right and duty to be effective champions of our system of gov ernment. Language Barriers He pointed out that the lan guage barriers existing in the in dustrial cities of the East have offered a fertile field to the com munists, who have talked to each man in his own language, and stated that America must do the same to fire the minds of our newer citizens with the ideals and traditions we hold dear. “When a dog gets porcupine quills in his nose, he’s an un happy dog until someone pulls them out. Management and labor both are continually being stuck by barbs of suspicion, misinforma tion, and resentment. I try to act as a quill puller.” Thus Dr. Stockdale describes his work as “Dean of Speakers” for the Na tional Association of Manufactur ers. Worked Way Through College Stockdale found out early in life that he had something to say and that he could get people to listen. He managed to make his way through college on money he picked up as an entertainer and impersonator. An early experi ence here made a profound impres sion on him. A professional entertainer whom he called on for advice gave him an arm-long list of “do” and “don’ts” that young Stockdale thought to be stuffy nonsense. He deliberately violated most of them during his first employment and rocketed to local popularity! Some Advice Fifty-seven years later he still says: “Don’t believe everything people tell’ you—the man who can be orig inal—who can find a new way to do or say something—will be a successful man!” Who’s Who in America shows that after graduating from Taylor University (Indiana) he attended Boston University School of Theol ogy and was ordained a Congre gational minister in 1904. He was an Oxford student in 1922 and 1923. His degrees include a D.D. from Berea, and an LL.D. from Marietta (Ohio) College. Almost 35 years in the ministry were spent in only four cities—Boston, Chicago, Toledo, and Washington —ample evidence that Stockdale had something to say. * At tne age of 60, when napst men are thinking of retiremTat, Stockdale left the pulpit and tick to the road for the NAM. He is still preaching Christian service and human understanding—but to an audience of hundreds of thou sands of people—industrial Ameri ca. Now an amazingly young 77 he still lives by the basic law he learned early in life: “Seek ye the truth; and the truth shall make ye free.” Experiment Station 41 Receives 2 Grants f Grants-in-aid to the amount of $6,000 have been made available to the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station, Dr. R.
