Many are world authorities in their chosen fields. They have dedicated themselves to the search for truth through re search and the teaching of these truths through their contact with you in the classroom and on the campus. They also maintain close contact with the citizens of the state through their agricultural ex tension programs. The staff will be glad to have you see and ’ work with the excel lent research and educational fa cilities that are available at the college. Agriculture has undergone dra matic changes in recent years. It has become highly technical in much the same manner as have mejdical, nuclear and space sciences. It is essential therefore, that you obtain solid training in the basic sciences, such as chemistry, phys ics, math and biology. You may not find any of these easy but you will find the results of diligence and perseverance most rewarding. You have every reason to he proud that you selected Agricul ture as your major. Agriculture is basic to the economic welfare of Texas and the nation. Never in the history of this country has the need for outstanding leadership in Agriculture been greater than it is today. No other industry can of fer more rewarding opportunities for those who prepare themselves to meet its challenges. The opportunities in Agriculture are becoming much more varied as science and technology are being employed for more efficient pro duction of food and fiber. Increas ingly attractive job opportunities are open to college graduates trained in Agricultural business and management and public rela tions. Industries that supply farmers and ranchmen with machinery, chemicals, fertilizer, and many other items have job openings for those who have sound training in specialized fields of Agriculture. The actual production of agricul tural products through the utiliza tion of our soil and water demands college graduates who have a working knowledge of basic and applied sciences as well as of busi ness, economics and management. The processing, distribution and marketing of agricultural products constitute a third great area offer ing attractive opportunties for graduates well trained in the agri cultural sciences. We wish you full success in the years ahead. The staff of A&M pledges its support, both in the classroom as well as outside, to make your stay here as productive as possible. We shall look forward to becoming acquainted with you, personally. R. E.

Watkins . . . director of agricultural instruction Watkins Gives Welcome to ’64 To Agriculture Freshmen: It is my sincere pleasure to wel come you here to begin your col lege studies to prepare for a ca reer in the Agricultural Industry. Since the end of World War II the changes that have occurred in all aspects of the complex industry which is Agriculture have been so broad, so basic and so numerous as to contstitute a revolution. Labor has gone a long way to ward pricing itself out of most of its traditional employment in the production of crops and livestock. Such labor as remains is doing less and less by hand and more and more by machinery and technical process. Costs of operation are increas ing in all facets of production, processing, distribution and mar keting, so that margins are dimin ishing and only large, efficient units can survive. Science, tech nology and business principles must be applied as rapidly as pos sible throughout the industry. The problem is sometimes dis torted by political considerations and made to appear as a problem for farmers and ranchers only, and these people often have been made to seem parasites on the American economy.

Watkins Director of Agricultural Instruction School of Agriculture THE BATTALION Thursday, August 25,1960 College Station, Texas Page 3 Local Scouts Set Historical Trek Days of the old frontier will come vividly alive for some 30-odd Explorer Scouts of the Arrowmoon District when they undertake a 7- day trek to historical sites in the surrounding area. The historical trek, to begin Sunday, will be under the leader ship of Ralph McCormick, district chairman of camping and activi ties. “We’re making this trek because history becomes more meaningful to one if he has the opportunity to visit the actual sites and to re live to a certain extent the events which took place there,” McCor mick said. “Texas has a fascinating his tory,” he said. “Six flags have flown over our state: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Southern Confederacy and the United States. Much of our rich heritage was born within 25 miles of Bryan and College Station,” he added. By making the trek, McCormick pointed out, Explorers, in addition to having history come alive before their eyes, will have the opportuni ty to earn additional awards in the areas of camping, exploring, etc. Trekers will assemble Sunday at the Carson Pryor Ranch three miles west of Wheelock at 2 p.m. There the Explorers will trek to Dunn’s Fort where they will un dertake a service project of clean ing up the Dunn Cemetery and erecting .a historical marker at the fort’s site. The marker is being- paid for by descendants of the Dunn family. Monday the Explorers will trav el by horseback from the fort via the Old San Antonio Road to its original crossing at the Brazos River, a point four miles south of the Highway 21 bridge. On Tuesday, the group will float down the Brazos on rafts which are to be constructed from aban doned railway crossties, camping that night at the end of the Leon ard Road. They "will continue Wednesday by raft down the river to the Koope bridge where Wed nesday night camp will be made. The rafts will be discarded at the Koope bridge in favor of an overland hike with packs to Inde pendence. Here the group will com plete service projects at the graves of Margaret Lea Houston, wife of Sam Houston, and her mother, Nancy Lea. The group will camp that night at the Seward Planta tion. Saturday the group will travel by ox cart and covered wagon from Independence to Washington-on- the-Brazos. There the group will be met by parents and friends. A reunion Pot Luck Supper, arranged by parents, and a closing ceremony will end the trek. Each evening special programs have been arranged; however, they will remain unannounced for fear of dulling their authenticity. Par ents and friends of scouting are welcome to attend each of the night programs, said McCormick.
