Intramural Bouts President Harrington’s Statement (Continued from Page 1) (Continued from Page 3) All wrestling and boxing champ ionships had formerly been decid ed on Fite Nite, but because of the large number of bouts and the possibility of an Army-Air Force basketball game on Fite Nite, the schedule has been changed.

TWO BEDROOM unfurnished apartment. 309 Cherry Street, phone 4-9601. period had been indicated by the fact that the number of white boys graduating from Texas high schools in the Spring of 1952 had been 19,315 as compared with 21,- 181 the previous spring. This was a drop of 9 percent in the total number of white male graduates of Texas high schools, from whom we normally expect to draw out new enrollment. This year our freshman enroll ment actually represented a higher percentage of male white Texas high school graduates than at any time since 1946. In only three years out of the past 20 have we exceeded this year’s percentage and in all the other years our per centage was lower. Our enrollment at this time is 5479, which is 314 less than at the same time last year. Since our fall enrollment was 305 less than that of the previous year, the re lation between first enrollment and present enrollment is quite close. This relation between enrollments of the fall and spring sessions has been much the same for many years, with only minor variations. While we do not consider total enrollment as the most important measure of the success of our op erations, much has been made of this “alarming” drop, and I be lieve it would be well for the peo ple of the state to know its exact extent. The most important measure of our success or failure, we believe, is the thoroughness with which we educate the young men of Texas who come to us for training in agriculture, engineering and allied subjects, with a sound background of understanding of our American government and institutions and training in military science. I believe the eagerness with which industry has been employing our graduates in recent years, the speed with which our graduates have advanced in military service and the manner in which they have acquitted themselves on the battle field speak for themselves on this score. We are proud not only of the record A&M men have made in the past as citizens and soldiers, but particularly proud as well of the records our graduates are making today.
