J. B. Hervey, executive secretary
of the association.
‘ Only $150,000-of the total con
tributions can be classified as un
restricted funds to be applied to
the program goal of $268,500,
Hervey said. He explained that
$50,000 of the contributions have
been designated by donors for
purposes other than those set up
by the Development Fund Pro
gram.
With almost all the alumni
drives complete, more than 14,500
contributions have been made to
the fund. Hervey said that addi
tional funds will be received from
ten corporate luncheons which will
be held throughout the state this
fall, to which representatives of
area businesses and corporations
will be invited.
This is only the second year that
the corporate program has been
employed and it is expected to
produce about $100,000 this year,
Hervey said. The corporate pro
gram last year contributed ap
proximately 15 per cent of the
total contributions.
The development fund provides
aid for various projects and pro
grams designed to promote the
welfare of the college.
Hervey said that funds previ
ously earmarked for this year pro
vide $146,000 for “academic excel
lence,” $25,000 for the Century
Study, $10,000 for Opportunity
Award scholarships, $8,000 for
eight Faculty Achievement
Awards, $4,500 for the college
president’s and deans’ emergency
funds and $10,000 for the 1962

Battalion News Editor
In the early summer of next
year, 50 A&M students will leave
for ports in Europe in the first of
several cruises they will take as
cadets of the new Texas Maritime
Academy.
This first cruise will climax a
year of freshman studies and
maritime training on campus, and
will precede their transfer to the
academy’s own campus at Ft.
Crockett in Galveston.
Capt. Bennett M. Dodson, for
mer chief of staff of the Com
mander Service Force with the
U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Har
bor, will be the superintendent of
the new academy.
These will not be the first sea
going Aggies, but will be the first
destined to become merchant ma
rine officers. (The Department of
Oceanography and Meteorology
has been an ocean-going'outfit for
a dozen years now.)
Operates As Separate Unit
The new academy will operate
on the campus as a separate unit
of the corps under the direction of
CAPT. B. M. DODSON.
Dodson, and will be housed with
the new Marine unit, 1-3.
“We have a limited enrollment
of 50, but we still have some va
cancies to date,” Dodson said. “En
tering freshmen and returning
sophomores who would like to
change their major to maritime
training are requested to see me
in the YMCA building if they are
interested,” he said. “This is not
an ROTC program, but a Naval
Science Department.”
Graduates of the Academy will
be eligible for Naval reserve com
missions, and will be qualified of
ficers of the U. S. Merchant Ma
rine, prepared to serve as deck
and engineering officers aboard
merchant vessels.
Courses of Study
Two courses of study are open
to the degree of Bachelor of
Science in IV^arine Engineering and
to the Coast Guard-issued license
as Third Assistant Engineer,
Steam and Motor Vessels, Ocean,
Unlimited.
Marine engineering, which is
closely related to mechanical en
gineering, emphasizes the design,
operation and maintenance of
maritime power plants and associ
ated equipment.
The other course available is
Marine Transportation. It leads to
a degree of Bachelor of Science in
Marine Transportation and to the
Coast Guard issued license as
Third Mate, Steam and Motor Ves
sels, Ocean, Unlimited.
This program is designed to fa
miliarize cadets with ship opera
tion and management and also
emphasizes the economic and busi
ness aspects of the maritime in
dustry.
Sea Training Required
Each sea-training period is a
required, staff-supervised, educa
tional term intended to insure nec
essary operational training periods
and experience for all cadets.
The operational training period
includes visits to five or six for
eign ports. Different ports are se
lected each year to provide cadets

Maritime Academy Flagship
The flagship of the new Texas Maritime instruction here. Maritime cadets will make
Academy stands waiting for the Aggies who two summer cruises to foreign ports,
will sail her after completing one year of
with a wide range of experience.
Ample liberty time is provided
in each port, affording- cadets the
opportunity to visit places of cul
tural and historic, as well as mari
time, importance.
The Federal Maritime Adminis
tration has provided the academy
with a training ship, but since the
academy is new, c&dets will train
for the first two years with the
senior cadets of another academy.
Cruises Start In June
The first training cruise will
begin in June of next year. Texas
Maritime Academy cadets will de
part in company for the Port of
New York, where they will report
to the commanding officer of the
“Empire State IV,” the training
ship of the New York State Uni
versity Maritime College.
Aggies will sail with the 450
New York cadets for ports in
Europe.
“The Texas Maritime Academy
is the only academy in the South,
and will be a boon to the shipping
industry of this area,” Dodson
said. “There is a great demand
for qualified men to serve in the
merchant marine because of the
increasing retirement rate of those
who came in during World War II
and the Korean Conflict.”
Dodson commented that career
opportunities at sea for a well-
educated and experienced young
man are unlimited.
A Third Officer may earn more
than $7,000 a year, and a Chief
Engineer or Master may earn $15,-
000 to $20,000 a year with plenty
of opportunities for overtime pay,
he said.
