THE BAT
A&M System Vast Research, Extension Organizatil
The freshman entering A&M this
fall is enrolling in one of the nine
major parts of one of the greatest
educational, research and exten
sion organizations in the South.
The A&M College System, es
tablished in 1948, is a state-wide
organization, charged with the re
sponsibility for educational, re
search and extension services in
the broad fields of agriculture and
engineering and in such other
areas as the Legislature of the
State of Texas may assign it from
time to time.
The System’s four colleges are
A&M College of Texas, oldest pub
licly supported institution of high
er learning in the state; Prairie
View A&M College, at Prairie
View; Arlington State College, at
Arlington; and Tarleton State Col
lege, at Stephenville.
The five service organizations
are the Agricultural Experiment
Station, Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service, Texas Engineering
Experiment Station, Texas Engi
neering Extension Service and the
Texas Forest Service.
6,400 Employes
In terms of size—the System has
over 6,400 full-time employees; its
work is conducted in every one of
the state’s 254 counties; its staff
works on problems ranging from
control of insects in the Piney
Woods to control of evaporation on
open reservoirs to development of
better row crops for Texas farm
ers.
During the long term of the
1961-62 school year, the four col
leges of the System provided edu
cational programs for more than
14.000 Texas men and women.
The service organizations, and
the colleges, provided adult educa
tion training programs for some
35.000 adult Texans, with courses
ranging fram those for Civil De
fense crews concerned with radia-

During the same year, System
personnel inspected livestock feeds,
conducted rodent and predatory
animal control programs, made
some 40,000,000 pine seedlings
available for plantings on East
Texas timber lands, pioneered con
struction of prefabricated highway
bridges, developed information on
how food reacts when sterilized by
atomic waste products, made sig
nificant contributions to plant reg
ulation by light waves and gibber-
rellic acid, found out more about
anaplasmosis and leptospirosis in
cattle, developed new grain sor
ghums for Texas farms—to men
tion a few of the year’s achieve
ments.
Board of Directors
The System is headed by a board
of directors, consisting of nine
members, appointed by the Gover
nor with the consent of the Sen
ate. These board members hold
office for terms of six years, with
appointments staggered so that
each two years three members re
tire and three new members begin
their terms of service.
The chief executive officer of
the System is Chancellor M. T.
Harrington, who is directly re
sponsible to the board. In charge
of each part of the system is an
other executive officer—for col
leges, presidents; for service or
ganizations, directors. These men
are responsible to the Chancellor
for the efficient operation of their
particular schools or service
groups.
ranging from developing better
i-ange grasses to eliminating insect
pests; from improving beef cattle
production through sire and pi*o-
geny-testing programs to develop
ing better types of grains, fruits
and vegetables for Texas produc
tion.
Extension Service
The Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service, through its county
agricultural agents and home dem
onstration agents working in 252
of the state’s 254 counties, brings
information on the latest agricul
tural research to the farmers of
the state.
The Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station engages in research
ranging from finding better proc
essing methods for cottonseed
processing to highway design and
construction work.
The Texas Engineering Exten
sion Service provides training at
short courses on the campus and
through courses held in Texas
towns and cities by itinerant
teachers in fields which include
the natural gasoline plant indus
try, police and firemen’s training,
supervisory training and instruc
tion for municipal water and sew
age plant operators.
Wide Scope of Work
It is impossible to briefly out
line the work of the System as it
affects the people of Texas. It is
best to show the scope of this work
by an illustration:

Affects Texans
The System’s work affects Tex
ans in three major ways—through
education, research or extension
work. For example, colleges of
the System each year enroll sev
eral thousands of young men and
women, graduate other thousands
and furnish facilities and staff
members to aid in special courses
in adult education.
