in 1926, will retain the build
ing, but are renting the space
now occupied by the Aggie

Forgiven
If Not
Forgotten
The “Weekly English Bulle
tin,” circulated among Faculty

cently scooped the world on a

human beings are forgiving
persons.
Frank Pierce of the depart
ment took a trip to Galveston
during the Easter holidays,
and while there happened to
dine at a restaurant on Beach
Boulevard. He met the pro
prietor.
Quoth the Bulletin — To
Frank’s surprise, the ex-stu
dent — instead of poisoning
him — took the check.
Pierce had flunked him in
the course.

ChE Wives Say
‘Thanks’ For Help
Five hundred books and 1,000
magazines were recently delivered
to Lincoln School in College Sta
tion by members of the Chemical
Engineering Wives Club. The pub
lications were obtained by a book
drive sponsored by the Wives club.
“We wish to thank the people
of College Station, The Battalion
and radio stations for helping to
make this drive a success,” said
Shirley Christopher, club welfare
chairman.
Since the colored schools have
no money allotted for a library,
there was a great demand for hooka
and magazines.
