New Student Rights
Respected, Morgan Says
Every student has rights which
are to be respected. Dr. David H.
Morgan, president of the college,
tpld the class of ’59 at the annual
Welcome address Monday night in
The Grove.
No officer or student shall vio
late those rights, he told more than
1,700 students gathered for the
occasion.
“All development does not come
from classrooms,” he said, “but
extra-curricula activities develop a
student into a well rounded indi
vidual.”
Morgan said this group is par
ticularly important — “A&M stu
dent life is dependent on this class;
as you go through, look for
changes which will help A&M.”
Morgan gave a brief discussion
of the college and its departments.
A&M is one of seven military col
leges and is “outstanding,” he said.
“We hope you will go through
this week and decide you are here
because you want to be here and
not because an uncle or cousin
wanted you here,” said Morgan.
“If there is a feeling of resent
ment, its not our fault.”
About 91.4 per cent of the fresh
men enrolled have signed up for
ROTC, Morgan said.
Morgan then read parts of the
basic policy of the college. One
quote is that a student has the
privilege of the best use of his
time toward an education.
C. H. Ransdell, acting dean of
the Basic Division, served as mas
ter of ceremonies.
Engineer Dean
Takes Over
New Position
A&M’s new Dean of Engi
neering, Dr. John C. Calhoun
Jr., has been nationally rec
ognized as one of the nation's
top petroleum and natural gas
engineers. He came to Texas
A&M, assuming his duties Sept.
1, from a position as professor and
head of the Department of Petrol
eum and Gas Engineering at the
Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. Calhoun will head the engi
neering teaching, reseai’ch and ex
tension work of a major part of
the A&M System, directing the
School of Engineering at A&M
College and the work of the state
wide Engineering Experiment Sta
tion and Engineering Extension
Service.
He has served as an independent
consultant to many national oil
producing and exploration com
panies. He is chairman of the
Mineral Engineering Division of
the American Society of Engineer
ing Education. From 1947 to
1951, Dr. Calhoun wrote the reg
ular weekly feature, “Engineering
Fundamentals,” for the Oil and
Gas Journal. Later these columns
were revised and published in book
form under the title “Fundamen
tals of Reservoir Engineering.”
A 1937 graduate of Pennsylva
nia State University, where he also
took his M.S. degree in petroleum
and natural gas engineering in
1941 and his Ph. D. in the same
field in 1946, Dr. Calhoun served
as research worker and teacher ^t
his alma mater from 1937 to 1946.
From 1946 to 1950 he was at the
University of Oklahoma, where he
became chairman of the School of
Petroleum Engineering, before re
turning to Penn State in 1950.
A native of McKean County,
Penn., Dr. Calhoun is 38 years of
age, married, and the father of
four children.
