THE B ATT ALIO!
He
Freshmen Learn Much In One Year
One
the yeai
with its
ball wee
Last year, almost one-third of
the A&M enrollment was made-
up of the Corps of Cadets. These
students, by choice, decided to
enter a new kind of life—a mili
tary life.
Those who decide to be mem
bers of the Corps will have new
duties and responsibilities placed
upon their shoulders, and the
way they carry these responsi
bilities will be a measure of the
success which they attain in their
college life.
There will be adjustments to
be made and situations to be met,
but these too will strengthen
their moral fiber.
The cadet’s academic subjects
are of prime importance. When
a cadet comes to A&M, he is no
longer a high school boy, but a
man. He will be treated as a man
by his professors and his fellow
Aggies and he will be expected
to conduct himself as such. His
academic work will not be forced
upon him, nor will it be fed to
him in teaspoon doses; he will
find there is ample opportunity
to understand when he realizes
the responsibility for success or
failure lies with himself.
Upperclassmen will also treat
him as a man. They will not take
advantage of their authority.
The “fish” will wonder at first
why he is denied privileges ac
corded to his upperclassmen, but
the reasons for this will become
apparent to him as his stay con
tinues.
“Rank hath its privileges” is
an old military saying that ap
plies to life anywhere. With in
creased service and rank come
responsibilities and privileges.
The converse of that military
saying is “Rank hath its respon
sibilities.” As freshman passes
upward through the classes, not
only will privileges add dignity
and prestige to his position, but
likewise he will have broader re
sponsibilities.
By being a cadet, a freshman
enters into the spirit of the
school. Just as elsewhere in life,
a cadet will get out of his fresh
man year proportionately as he
contributes. The best freshmen
make the best upperclassmen, be
cause they have entered whole
heartedly into becoming an Ag
gie. The saying is “By his fresh
man year ye know him”—so the
cadet must strive to make his
first a good year and the others
will follow naturally.
The cadet’s attitude toward his
officers is important. They will
expect the utmost respect while
having him perform his duties.
Their remarks and corrections
are not personal, but are intend
ed to make the freshman a bet
ter Aggie.
No cadet officer is authorized
to ask a cadet to do anything of
an immoral, vulgar or of degrad
ing nature. If one violates this
principle or gives an order fw
proper duty in profane, violt ^ meto

Corps does not expect a cadet

Statement of Purpose for the Campus
Ministry at Texas A&M University
Texas A&M University is concerned with the total develop
ment of its students. The encouragement of spiritual growth
is highly important in this program of total development for
those who come here seeking an education.
There are many faiths represented among the students,
faculty and staff member who comprise the University commu
nity. Our campus ministry is called upon to stimulate spiritual
growth among the members of the University community as
they search for more meaningful direction in their lives, accord
ing to their particular faiths. This task is accomplished
through various types of worship, programming, and personal
counseling, which we know as the campus ministry.
In a spirit of close harmony, the campus ministry assists
the University in its educational program by helping members
of the various faiths represented to become more sensitive to
their responsibilities in the economic, political and social world.
In so doing, the campus ministry performs the vital duty of
demonstrating the close relationship between religious faith
and worthy citizenship.
A program such as this requires continuous communica
tion between the various faiths represented and the University.
Effective communication assures each student the opportunity
to hold fast to his faith while studying here, thus laying
groundwork for continued spiritual growth in the years to
follow.
