The home was located where Dorm 14 now stands. “We were a first for Texas A&M,” Rogers related. “I was the first married student to stick it out and graduate.” ACCOUNTING MAJORS ASK ANY CPA ABOUT THE BECKER CPA REVIEW COURSE MAY 26 Houston: (713) 223-6902 AULEN OLDS. - CAD.

He left active duty in July, 1948, but remained a member of the reserves until retirement at the rank of colonel in 1959. Rogers was city manager for College Station from 1948 to 1952. He was mechanical engineer for air installations at Bryan Air Force Base three years and re turned to Texas A&M in 1955 as assistant manager of the Build ing and College Utilities Depart ment. In 1962 he joined the State Board of Control in Austin test ing supplies for physical plant maintenance. From 1963 until 1965 he was physical plant man ager at Texas Lutheran College in Seguin and in 1965-66 was pyhsi- cal plant director at Tarkio Col lege, a Presbyterian four-year liberal arts college in Missouri. He went to the University of Wisconsin in 1966 as physical facility specialist and assistant to the vice president. He returned to Texas in 1967 to join the USDA here as general engineer. Mrs. Rogers has taught Spanish and Texas history at A&M Con solidated High School for many years and she won’t retire until 1972. The couple has two children, Capt. Jude Rogers at Fort Huachua, Ariz., and Mrs. Claire Dagg of Richardson. The Rogers home, long con sidered one of the most beautiful settings in College Station, was hand built by the couple on the 1.5 acres tract. “I haven’t thought about retire ment,” Rogers admits. “But I’m sure I’ll find something to do. I’ve been busy all my life.” Elmendorf signs with L. A.

Dykes and his daughter, A&M President Dr. Jack K. Wil liams announced. Wililams said the gift of more than 600 items including a num ber of rare publications is one of the nation’s significant Dobie collections. The noted Southwestern folk lorist and author inscribed many of the pieces in the collection to Dykes. Their friendship spanning several decades was ended with the death of Dobie in 1964. Dykes, a 1921 Texas A&M graduate, and his daughter Mrs. Martha Ann Dykes Goldsmith made the gift of the Dobie collec tion. and his daughter are giving to Texas A&M is notable for va ried reasons,” commented John B. Smith, library director. “Among these is the inclusion of numerous items not listed in stan dard Dobie bibliographies. Dobie was a prolific writer and many of his writings were reprinted.” “This gift is further proof of Mr. Dykes’ love for books and for Texas A&M,” Williams said. He said the gift supplements the Jeff Dykes Range Livestock Collection, making the University Library Special Collections even more at tractive for students and schol- catalogs devoted to Dobie or cit ing his materials and also in cludes several pieces given to Dykes by the famous author, ,j t j on Smith -said. A preliminary tally shows 474 titles are represented by the 619 items. The Dobie book list begins with a copy of the quite rare first edition of “A Vaquero of the Brush Country” published in Dallas in 1929. Two other edi tions of this title also are rep- s resented. All three are inscribed f* )er ’ by Dobie, as are other pieces.

Announced earliy last year and now numbering more than 5,000 items, it has received national at tention. The range livestock col lection has since been used by researchers and students of sev eral disciplines. Dobie was born on a South Texias ranchv His book “Cow People” sums up a lifetime of study and association with range people. The Dyke gift includes copies of varied editions of 26 Dobie books, more than 150 copies of booklets, separates, broadsides, extracts, materials edited by Do bie or containing his contributions and more than 100 magazine ar ticles he wrote. The collection is also rich in Ilford pest Among the more interesting in- era j g scriptions is one in a London edi tion of “Tales of Old-Time Tex as.” Dobie wrote: “Dear Jeff,.., In my opinion, I write in the tra dition of the best English prose, not in the style of Westerns at all.” A 1937 book catalog issued in Baton Rouge contains a photo graph of Dobie made on a hunt ing trip in Mexico. It is believed to be possibly the first photo of Dobie printed in a book catalog. Many dealers later devoted en tire catalogs to Dobie.

Inc.. Stratburg, Virginia A After graduation today, Martha dressed her little sister, Amy, in cap and gown and let her walk across the stage. Amy chortled all the way home, “I graduated, just like Martha.” Martha is a sweet big sister. She lets Amy watch while she gets ready for dates, makes clothes for her dolls and invents endless games designed to please a four- year-old. On the other hand, Amy adores the ground her “Marthy” walks on and listens to her advice before all others. It was Martha who straightened her out when she rebelled against church-going. “We go,” said Martha, “not because we have to, but because we love God and want to be good.” Bi<| moment How glad Bob and I are that we have always gone to church and taken Martha with us! Love of God is an essential part of her life. Now she is helping us teach Amy a similar understanding and rever ence. Go to church, and take your child. Share with him the greatest wealth on earth.
