managing, controlling and con
ducting the college, granting
them full and adequate powers to
establish and enforce all proper
and needful rules for carrying
out their duties,” the defendants’
brief claimed.
The brief’s concluding argu
ment held that the admission of
women would change the basic
nature of the college and thus
would require radical changes.
For example, the college would
be forced to build dormitories for
women and hire supervisors for
them, imposing additional bur
dens on taxpayers.
The Barron father-son team
based their argument on the pre
mise that the women were en
titled to the same legal rights as
men and to deny them admission
to a state school was discrimin
ation.
John Barron pointed out that
A&M was the only one of the 69
grant land colleges that had re
fused to enroll women.
He also contended that 68 per
cent of the courses offered by
A&M were as suitable for women
as for men.
But the heart of the plaintiffs’
case was hinged upon the ques
tion of discrimination and claims
of violation of the Constitutional
guarantees of due process and
equal protection of the law.
Judge McDonald, like John
ordered the college to admit the
Barron an A&M former student,
two women March 26, 1958.
McDonald’s 11-page judge
ment found:
—That the Constitution and
state laws did not provide for
the exclusion of women from the
college.
—That exclusion of the plain
tiffs was in violation of the due
process of law clause in the Tex
as Constitution.
—That the all-male policy vio
lated the section of the 14th
amendment to the federal Con
stitution regarding separate and
equal facilities and equal protec
tion of the law.
—That the Board did not have
the authority to prohibit women
from A&M and by doing so had
overstepped its power.
“The Board of Directors of said
college has abused its authority
. . . has exceeded any and all au
thority invested in it by the Leg
islature of this State, and has
capriciously and arbitrarily ex
ercised a function contrary to

H teat leader Still leads
It has been said that a man is tallest when he is on
his knees. The familiar picture of George Washington
kneeling in prayer at Valley Forge reminds us that the
“Father of our Country” was a man who walked close
to God and who taught his soldiers to pray.
Washington recognized that human frailty is not a
sign of weakness—that it is the first step toward find
ing the needed strength. To call upon God for the
resources we lack is to supply our deepest want.
The example of our first President still points men
to God. Just as George Washington found God’s strength
.available, so do men in our time when they call upon
Him in faith. Discover Him in your own life. Worship
God in your church next Sunday.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL-
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. They
are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For
his children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.

the public interests of the citi
zens of the State of Texas,” Mc
Donald ruled.
He also found that the Legisla
ture had not intended to forbid
coeducation at the college.
“If the Texas Legislature had
intended to delegate any such
authority to said Board of Di
rectors it was powerless to dele
gate such a simple, basic, uncom
plicated legislative function to an
administrative board, and the
Legislature itself would have
spelled out . . . that it was their
intent to exclude females, and
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Texas would have
been designated as an all-male
school,” he emphasized.
McDonald ordered the defend
ants to “proceed with all reason
able dispatch to enroll, register
and accept the relators ... as
students, with the same right of
entry as a qualified male stu
dent.”
The Barrens’ victory was brief,
however, as a Waco Court of
Civil Appeals reversed the lower
court decision October 2.
The case reached the national
Supreme Court April, 1959, and
the high court refused to con
sider the appeal by a one-vote
margin.
But Barron wasn’t finished.
He immediately began prepara
tions for a new lawsuit and filed
it in again McDonald’s court
Nov. 5, 1959.
Plaintiffs were Margaret All-
red, a student at Texas Tech;
Sarah Hutto, student at Allen
Academy, and Mrs. Mary Ann
Parker, wife of a Bryan business
man.
After a two-hour session Mc
Donald ruled against the women
in the basis of the first case.
“Although I felt I gave proper
interpretation to the law in the
previous case,” he explained,
“the higher court saw fit to re
verse my decision. I have no
choice but to follow the ruling
of the higher court.”
Barron’s appeal passed swiftly
through state appellate courts
and the federal Supreme Court
again refused to reconsider the
case, by the same margin of a
single vote.
The fight for coeducation had
been thwarted once more, yet
within five years women would
be attending A&M. And John
Barron feels the cases, although
unsuccessful, may have helped
turn the tide against the all-male
tradition.
“The suits brought the problem
out into the open,” he says to
day. “The development of all the
facts was instrumental in putting
the truth on both sides to the
public, and it put them to think
ing.”
same court in which he pleaded
Now district judge over the
his cases for women, Barron still
feels coeducation is in the best
interests of A&M.
“I’d like very much to see the
old days remain intact but it
simply can’t be done,” he con
tends. “The philosophy of A&M
and the philosophy of education
has changed materially since the
old days.”
And Barron feels the position
of the Board today has changed
and unlimited coeducation is like
ly in the future.
“When it can be done without
radical change I think the Board
will finally come around to it.”
