Superior Hospital
Aids Texas Aggies
A&M students will be served by
one of the finest and best equip-
ped college hospitals in the South
west this fall.
Among the college hospital’s
medical accessories will be the new
vaccine f o r Asiatic Influenza,
another dread disease spreading
through this country. The hos
pital will have the vaccine on hand
September 6, along with an ample
supply of the Salk vaccine. Both
, vaccines will cost the students
$1.00 extra, but Dr. Charles R.
Lyons, the college physician, en
courages students to get as many
immunities as possible. He added
that the hospital is not trying to
•Triake a profit.
A new staff of four nurses will
be employed for the remodeled
patient area on the second floor.
The new registered nurses will
serve the 24 open beds of the pa
tient area and the 100 beds that
can be made ready in case they
are needed.
The entire second floor has been
remodeled, installing new floors,
walls and ceilings. Acoustic tile
has been installed in the clinic
rooms and wards.
All remodeling was planned with
patient comfort in mind. Even
the nurses are to give more than
medical care to the patients since
^ some sicknesses are not of a phy
sical nature.
The college hospital, once refer
red to as the “Black Hole of Cal
cutta”, served a total of 1,302
hed patients last year. The. aver
age for the past three years has
been 922. Outpatient visits totaled
28,535 last year while the average
for the past three years has been
6,171, a 460 per cent increase. Dr.
Lyons said the hospital handled
about 200 patients per day last
fear.
Three rooms have been added to
the clinic area. The rooins are de
signed to allow as little noise and
distractions as possible for the
patients. A special cold clinic is
part of the addition. The cold clinic
handles only cold cases.
Also part of the additions is a
full-time mental hygiene clinic.
The total remodeling cost is ap
proximately $6,000.
Dr. Kenneth L. Nelson has been
employed as a full-time physician
for the hospital. Dr. Nelson is
one of three full-time physicians,
and a graduate of the University
of Minnesota, class of 1937. He
has a B.S., B.A. and M.D. degrees.
He majored in preventive medicine
and minored in bacteriology and
sociology. He served internship
at the Norwegian-American Hos
pital, Rockford, Ill.
The hospital fee will remain at
$10 per year, although the average
.fee for other colleges is $30.

Ag School Dean Welcomes
1958’s Freshman Class
By TOM COPELAND
“On behalf of the School of Ag
riculture, I extend a warm wel
come and congratulate you in your
selection of Texas A&M College,”
says Dr. J. C. Miller, Dean of the
School of Agriculture. “I further
congratulate you on your ambition
to continue your education and
wish for you the very best of suc
cess.
“Your college career should be
tfie most happy and most satisfy
ing period of your life. The de
gree of success and happiness you
achieve will depend almost entire
ly on the effort you make. A suc
cessful career requires thorough
preparation. Accordingly, I en
courage you to make the most of
your opportunity in college by pre
paring yourself in your chosen
field. I extend to you best wishes
and welcome you to the campus,”
concludes Dean Miller.
The curriculum in agriculture has
as its objectives the preparation
of young' men for the business of
farming and ranching including
floriculture and ornamental horti
culture; for the pursuit of scien
tific investigation in the field of
agriculture; for work with the var
ious governmental and private ag
ricultural agencies; for work as
farm managers; and for teaching
in high schools and agricultural
colleges. It also affords excellent
preparation for young men who in
tend to enter the field of process
ing and marketing food and fiber
products. Systematic training is
given in the sciences of biology,
chemistry, and entomology, which
are fundamental to the Study of
scientific agriculture.
There are at present 15 subject-
matter departments in the School
of Agriculture. These include Ag
ricultural Economics and Sociol
ogy, Agricultural Engineering, Ag
ricultural Education, Agronomy,
Animal Husbandry, Biochemistry
and Nutrition, Dairy Science, En-

tbmolpgy, Floriculture and Land
scape Architecture, Genetics, Hor
ticulture, Plant Physiology and
Pathology, Poultry Science, Range
and Forestry, and' Wildlife Man
agement.
The opportunity for a graduate
from the School of Agriculture is
bright. There is a yearly demand
for 15,000 new graduates, but the
land-grant colleges only graduate
8,500. Agriculture is a field of
opportunities because it is big,
broad, basic, and permanent, It is
challenging and rewarding, and
the welfare of our country de
pends on a sound and prosperous
agriculture.
How are the salaries in agricul
ture ? Surveys of recent gradu
ates from a number of land-grant
agricultural colleges showed 45%
of them getting salaries from
$4500 to $6000; 23% had income of
$6000 to $10,000 and 7% over $10,-
000 per year.
