Guest Editorial
College leaders in America, faced with responsibility for
meeting the needs of a sharply increasing number of students
in the next decade, will not find it easy to resist the tempta
tion to lose themselves in the fascination of big numbers.
They will be tempted to forget that the basic factor will
always be the education of the individual, and that a human
is a great deal more than a statistic.
In facing this need, four considerations occur to me as
being of chief concern to all of us:
1. If the individual is not to be lost in the crowd of
students we shall have, we need to recognize his impor
tance as an individual, and to develop better ways of
making it possible for him to find the sort of education
he needs and wants. We must think more about the
student than about the processes of education.
2. We need to find ways of stimulating greater self-
reliance in the student, of exciting his interest in the
very process through which he is going in order that he
may have a more genuine sense of participation, of in
volvement, of self-development. There is danger that
with increased numbers, the tendency may be for instruc
tion to become more automatic and less significant to the
individual student.
3. Our society, with so many human, social and
technical problems crying for attention, requires educa
ted men and women who are alert to the problems, who
are sensitive to the need for. solving them, and who pos
sess the imagination and ingenuity necessary to deter
mine the nature of the problems and the best way of
approaching them.
4. We need more in our educational process which
will cultivate insights and faith among our students in
the ultimate meaning and purpose of life. The driving
force of American life has never been materialistic, but
rather our greatest motive has been to achieve fulfill
ment of the best that our lives can realize.
As I sought to express it some years ago—“We live and
work for the fulfillment of the promise of our endowment at
birth. But this endowment was none of our doing, we are
only custodians—the stewards of that endowment—of per
sonality and talent which makes each of us a human being.
To reach our highest fulfillment as stewards, we must recog
nize that we are all dependent upon a power greater than
our own. It is our faith in that power which gives us the for
titude to tackle the problems that confront us and which
gives us assurance that if we tackle them in the right spirit
we shall be led to the right answers.”

Editor,
The Battalion
In response to the recent furor
over Reveille’s conduct on the foot
ball field, we find ourselves in
full accord with the editor of The
Battalion.
It is our opinion that if Reveille
is permitted by the school to con
tinue her misdemeanors, it will
constitute an intentional display
of vulgarity and an over-all lower
ing of the school standards.
It would seem to us that if
Reveille’s unsanitary and disgust
ing actions are not brought to a
halt, the student body is both
literally and figuratively flinging a
deliberate insult into the faces of
our grand band and championship
football team.
CIRCLE
We must remember that the
public will consider Reveille’s
actions as a reflection on the A&M
College of Texas.
In answer to the letter printed
in The Battalion on Nov. 8, written
by Messrs. Ellen, Caster, Hlavinka
and Eagleson:
These students seem to receive as
much enjoyment in observing
Reveille’s defecation on the foot
ball field as a normal Aggie gets
in watching our winning team.
This would indicate to us a high
ly perverted personality.
Is there any football player or
band member who relishes physical
contact with the results of
Reveille’s actions on the football
field ?
JOB INTERVIEWS
The
We think not. Therefore we be
lieve Reveille should be kept leash
ed during half-time.
