The Battalion College Station (Brazos County)] Texas As Land Grant College The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas is located at College Station, an incorporated city of 7,898. Like the land grant institutions in other states of i the Union, it owes its origin to the Morrill Act, Analysis Method Found by Student In Research Here Alfred R. Pate, undergraduate student at A&M, has been busy evaluating methods suitable for the analysis of oxidation products obtained by passing propylene and and air over a copper-alumina cat alyst at high temperatures. Sounds complicated ? Not to Pate, who is one of 10 A&M under graduates chosen to conduct re search under a special Undergrad uate Research Program sponsored by the National Science Founda-: tion. The program at A&M is un der the direction of Dr. Richard J. Baldauf, assistan^professor of the Wildlife Management Department. Working under the direction of Dr. C. D. Holland, associate pro fessor of chemical engineering, Pate, a native of Tyler, has devel oped a method for rapid analysis of gaseous products using a vapor fractometer. But before he could do this he had to find a method for a bromide-iodine titration for calibrating the fractometer. Duddy Holt guided Idaho State College to six Rocky Mountain Conference championships in his first seven years as track coach. which was approved by the United States Congress on July 2, 1862. This act provided for the donation of a specified amount of public land which was to constitute a perpetual fund, the principal of which should reamin forever un diminished. On April 17, 1871, the legisla ture accepted the provisions of the Act and provided for.the establish ment of, A&M. ^ A commission created for the purpose of locating the college ac cepted the offer made by the citi zens of Brazos county and located the institution on a tract of land 2,416 acres in size. The acquisition from time to time of additional land has in creased the acreage owned by the college in Brazos and Burleson counties to approximately 8,600 acres and the value of the physical plant of A&M to around $40,000,- 000. The college was formally opened at College Station and instruction began on Oct. 4, 1876. Its educa tional activities have been en larged as the need for such ex pansion became evident. Undergraduate instruction is now offered in practically every field of agriculture, arts and sciences including business administration and journalism, engineering and veterinary medicine.

First they hide beneath their yellow blooms, figuring I’ll mistake them for flowers. Then when I have spent most of the summer rooting them out, the last cunning survivors always enlist the help of my own youngsters to plant a bumper crop for next year. But there are weeds more serious than dandelions •---weeds which like the tares in Christ’s parable are planted by an Enemy. These are my real con cern when I think about my youngsters. I want no evil to choke or twist the character of my sons and daughters. Nor do I want them to spread the spores of evil that will undermine the character of others. I believe that God meant me to seek truth and moral courage through the teaching, preaching and fellowship His Church provides. Every Sunday I share these blessings with my family. Copyright 1959. Keister Adv-. Service. Strasbuitg. Va. The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reaspns why every person should at tend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4P For the sake of the Church itself, which' needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
