There are not words to express how much the spirit has meant to us now that we have had such a personal contact with it. At the beginning of the year, like a lot of freshmen, Bill was home sick at times and occasionally not sure that he liked A&M. I thought that you would like to know that a few days aftef^the accident he told me, “Dad, you know enough of that Aggie Spirit rubbed off on me that I couldn’t ever be satisfied going to school anywhere other than than A&M.” Our heartfelt thanks: To the Cadet Corps— For your prayers and prayers meetings; your blood donations; your many trips to Houston to visit Bill; your letters, cards, and words of cheerful encouragement and your wonderful generosity portray ed by your financial help. To the Staff— For interest and consideration of the faculty and college administra tors the prompt and efficient care given Bill following the accident by members of the Physical Education Department, the college medical staff and the ambulance service. For all these things, Bill, my wife, and I will be eternally grate ful. • We feel that Bill is receiving the best medical care and with God’s help w-e hope he can make a rapid recovery. When I checked Bill out of the dormitory there was a card over his desk which read: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippinas 4:13. This is our hope.
