Each student will have his turn at the “forge. It will be all our duties to see that not one flaw is left in the “steel” of this year. How campus leaders perform their duties and how the student body selects and supports those leaders may mean the difference between a perfect year and a bad one. Every Aggie should have as his goal a bigger and better A&M. This can be accomplished in some of the following ways: 1. Forget petty envies and prejudices and work togeth er for a better future. . , 2. Strive for the best in all academic work. _ 3. Support moves for better professors salanes, moie new buildings and other progressive activities. 4. Maintain good moral concepts and practice them while visiting other schools and cities. These are just some fundamental practices, to observe. They can branch off into other realms. Remember that A&M will .only be as good as eac j student can make it. • •'TOY W£ Efc'6iN AWTHER E*CmN6& STIMULATING UNIT IN LATE AfcPlEW.
