Good books come from the most un
expected places sometimes.
Such is the case of a recent publication
called “Dutchman On The Brazos” written
by Caesar Hohn, who would come closer to
being identified if referred to as Dutch Hohn.
Dutch is remembered by Aggies, young
and old alike, as one of the first great grid
iron heroes of Texas A&M. However, count
less hundred, and probably even thousands,
remember Dutch Hohn for his social accom
plishments in the great state of Texas.
“Dutchman On The
Brazos” is the story of
Dutch’s life. It is written
as his life has been lived,
centering around Texas
A&M.
The story of a boy who
came from a immigrant
German family, who never
“even had a date, a dance,
or nice soft conversation
HOHN with a girl” until he was 18
years old, who came to
A&M to evade the tactics of a marriage
minded young lady and then became one of
A&M’s finest graduates, can be told only
as Dutch has told it—in the same language
and tone.
Dutch recalls his pleasures of working
with farms and soil rehabilitation and people
after receiving his M.A. degree from A&M.
Working as ranch manager and later as
county agent, Dutch tells how he worked
with hardheaded farmers and persuaded
them that the “foolishness” of terracing
their land would save their soil.
The discussions of A&M, Hohn’s day at
A&M and his efforts to help worthy boys
help themselves through A&M are expressed
in a manner that is almost affectionate.
A Real Fresher Upper
Off and running!
The Campus Chest drive has a running start at its
goal of $5,000, but it’s going to be a long run. The students
of A&M should pick up the $5,000 goal as a challenge. After
all, even though the goal has been set by the student welfare
committee of the Student Senate, the campaign itself is a
function of the entire student body. There is no reason why
the goal should not be reached and passed by the end of
next week.
While all of us on campus like to think that we really
have to watch the pocket to make ends meet, there is hardly
a week goes by that each of us doesn’t squander away $1
or more. The $5,000 goal that has been set for this year
is probably spent many times each week for cigarettes alone
on campus. There is no way to measure how many times
this goal could be met with one week’s coffee money. A
dollar to help an individual in need, especially a fellow Aggie,

Sound Off
One part of the book which would prob
ably be of interest to all Aggies is where
Dutch discusses a trying experience under
Coach Charley Moran. Moran had Hohn
scrimmaging across from a man who had
three years experience and 60 pounds ad
vantage on him.
Hohn writes, “That combination should
have been more than enough to subdue me,
except for one thing—I had the spirit.
“I would like to pause here and dissect
this thing called ‘spirit.’ I am sure it is
something that springs from different wells
in different people. One would have to know
a lot more about Moran’s childhood and his
ancestry than I do to tell you what were the
ingredients of his spirit. I only know about
my own. I had good health, a strong consti
tution, and a burning desire to identify my
self, to earn the respect of my fellow stu
dents. I was never altogether sure of myself
or of how I would measure up when the
crucial test came, but I was determined not
to be found wanting. This, I suspect, was
the reason why I threw the chunk of liver
at a classmate in lab and risked expulsion
from the college; and as a result of this same
drive I entered, and won, from a fumbling
start, the College oratorical contest two years
—though frankly the competition here was
none too keen. But perhaps the major ele
ments of my spirit was that I liked rough
bodily contact, specially with a fellow I en
vied—as I did all upperclassmen, or anybody
who was better off than I was, and in those
days it seemed to me that in most ways
everybody was better off than I was. And,
lastly, I wanted to be a part of the group
that wanted to win. I was like the para
trooper General Max Taylor tells about.
When the general asked him whether he
liked to jump, he said, ‘No, sir, but I like to
be with people who like to jump’.”

After Tuesday’s meeting with
Col. Baker, we were vastly en
lightened and proud to know that
a man of such high calibre is
Commandant of the Corps of
Cadets.
We now better understand his
position as well as that of the
school. It is up to the mem-
Winner’sTalk
Called Down
WASHINGTON <A>) — The
National Academy of Sciences
gave Nobel Prize winner Linus
Pauling a rap on the knuckles
Wednesday for using its centen
nial meeting as a platform for
criticizing the nation’s man-to-
the-moon program.
Pauling was called into con
ference with academy president
Frederick Seitz. Afterward he
told newsmen he would make no
further statements on the moon
project now but would do so in
detail after he returns to Cal
ifornia.
He said Seitz had told him the
academy’s centennial “is a birth
day party and not a forum for
a political discussion.”
