index of cultural growth among
indents and people.
This group of 46 students from
school where there is no formal
lusic depai-tment pursues this ac-
gvity without recognition, for the
; cultureaBspiration they get from it. Un-
dy s ti; jdi r these circumstances the ulti-
;tection a late in choral niceties is not made
a sacred cow, but let it not be
liought that on the other hand
Mere is no vocal discipline or re-
jnement of interpretation.
I The program contained a bit of
ity agried Merything. There were show
ne for tT:B nes > as “Say It With Music” and
NB hit from “South Pacific”; the
if Mr. a , :B 1 ’h e r shop quartet in a senti-
; on ofH™ en t a l mood; westerns such as
te mcthciffhisholm Trail” and “Colorado

“TUttii < B tec * : tunes and mountain

TNor was the classical neglected.
In Stilly Night” by Brahms was
lone with understanding. It may
le a surprise to many to know
Mat one of Brahms’ professional
■ctivities was directing a men’s
|nging organization.
The musical conscience and loyal
Spirit of the group evidently de
rive from the director, Robert L.
■oone, who came up through the
lublic school music field, and who
n his own right is a vocalist of
uperior gifts. In intonation, ac-
bracy of ensemble and diction the

choral performance is according
to the best standards.
Boone as a soloist gave “Maria.”
“Song of the Open Road” with
fine resonance, a big rousing tone
and convincing delivery.
One of the indispensable assets
of the group is its accompanist,
Mrs. June 'Biering. Here is not
a brash teenager. She will not
mind if we suggest that she may
be a grandmother. But do not
be misled. Here is fire, natural
technical facility on the piano key
board and creative musicianship
which assures that, though she
played from score, about two-
thirds of the notes were her own
creation. It is a gift, and valu
able.
Probably the most impressive
portion of the program were the
patriotic numbers, sung with a
conviction which was reassuring.
There were “Battle Hymn of the
Republic,” “Paul Revere’s Ride,”
in which diction in varied tempos
was remarkable, and “Texas, Our
Texas,” of which the group has'
made one of the most effective
recordings on their own record
disk. The program closed with
the final section of Randall Thomp
son’s “Testment of Freedom,”
which is a setting or chorus of
passages from the writings of
Thomas Jefferson. This fourth
section closes with this declara
tion; “The God who gave us life
gave us liberty at the same time;
the hand of force may destroy, but
not disjoin them.”
For the singing of the “Fight
Song,” seven former singing ca
dets were called from the audience
to come forward and join, which
they did with a will.

this area. The Nuclear Science
Center was established to fill the
need in this vital field of study.
And only recently the Maritime
Academy was established to train
marine transportation and engi
neering officers.
Now Have Courses For Space
And as we enter the space age
A&M is offering courses in space
technology to train engineers in
this important field. These are
only a few of the changes that
have occurred in the past 15 or
16 years. But they show that
A&M can change and has chang
ed to meet the needs of the peo
ple of Texus. I feel confident
that A&M will make even great
er changes in the next 15 years.
But these changes have occur
red in the past. What about the
future? The material offered
in the courses that are taught
will change! it will become more
advanced. Due to the amount of
knowledge that has accumulated
in the past, it will be necessary
for the college to receive better
trained students from our high
schools.
These students, in order to
finish college in four or five
years, will have to know more
when they enter college than
some of us knew when we were
sophomores or juniors in college.
The college will need to have our
support in order to bring this a-
bout. We must demand for our
children the best possible train
ing in grade school and high
school. Our support in this area
will help the college to do a much
better job in teaching our child
ren.
There will be changes in the
ratio of graduate students to
undergraduates. The ratios be
tween agricultural, engineering
and liberal arts students will
change. These changes will be in
fluenced by the law of supply and
demand and by the calibre of
student that A&M graduates.
If A&M is to grow and take
its proper place in the education
al system of Texas, it must make
changes in policy so that it can
fulfill its obligations to the peo
ple of Texas. The administrative
officers, the staff and the facul
ty are fulfilling their roles in
the development of ' our school.
What is the role of the former
students in this development?
This is difficult to define. We
who have graduated from A&M

feel that it belongs to us and
that we belong to it. Those of us
who have sons want them to come
to A&M to find the same types
of friendships and fellowships
and to experience the great tra
ditions that have become a part
of the student life. All of these
things are fine, but we also want
our sons to get the finest possi
ble education.
This will be possible only if the
administrative officers, the facul
ty and the staff cooperate. We as
ex-students can play a vital role
in helping them do their jobs
by giving them the support they
need. How can we accomplish
this? First, we can give to the
Development Fund. You are all
familiar with this fund and the
many fine uses it has had in the
past.
Second, we can give our time
to work for the good of A&M.
This means that we give of our
best when asked to perform a
service. Third, we must sell A&M
by promoting the college at every
opportunity. We must tell other
people about the fine job that the
school is doing even though we
may not like some of the policies
of the college.
A&M cannot fufill its role in
the educational system of Texas
without the support and good will
of the people of Texas. We need
to tell again and again the dynam
ic story of its accomplishments.
Through the decades, Texans’
good will toward and assistance
to A&M has been tremendous.
The net balance in the bank of
public good will is still high. But
time may run out on us one of
these years.
We >need to mobilize all of our
resources promptly behind an ef
fective public relations program.
I don’t mean that we should
open a public relations office. We
simple need to tell the story of
A&M to friends and acquaint
ances in a sincere, simple and
straightforward manner.
Fourth, and this, I think, is
the most important part of our
role as ex-students, we need to
support the decision of the admini
strative officers. Changes that
are made by the Board of Di
rectors, the chancellor, the presi
dent and the deans of the colleges
are to be accepted. Changes have
always been made in the policies
under which A&M has operated.
Without these changes under
the able administrations of such
men as Ross, Walton, Gilchrist,
Bolton, Rudder and Harrington,
A&M could not have achieved its
place of greatness in the educa
tional system of Texas. These
men and the Boards of Directors
under which they served were
faced and will be faced with many
decisions, some of them that will
chart new courses for A&M.
These will be bold steps to
prepare the college for its place
in the future. We as ex-students
must take our place and give the
college the support it needs.
In these next few years of crises
let us be able to say as the Apos
tle Paul said to Timothy, “I have
fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept
the faith.”
