COL. ADAMS RETIRES—Texas Aggie Band Director
Lit, Col. E. V. Adams received his retirement certificate
Wednesday. President Jack K. Williams presented the doc-
jment. “The Colonel” hangs up his baton after 27 years
iirecting the band.
Lt. Col. E. V. Adams received
his A&M retirement certificate
Wednesday.
It was presented to the Texas
Aggie Band director in cere
monies at the building which will
bear his name.
Col. Adams retires Friday,
ending 27 years work that made
him the dean of Southwest Con
ference bandmasters.
Adams’ wife Belle, his daugh-
ter-in-law and grandson attended
the event in the Aggie Band Hall,
to be named the E. V. Adams
Band Hall in Sept. 15 ceremonies.
President Jack K. Williams pre
sented Adams the certificate.
“Vergne Adams is a staunch
pillar of this institution,” Dean
of Students James P. Hannigan
told more than 30 friends. “We
wonder how Texas A&M will get
along without him, but know it
will go on after we leave,” the
dean said, referring to his own
retirement this month.
A&M’s Dean of Admissions and
Records, Edwin H. Cooper, de
scribed his feelings for the vet
eran bandman for whom he
played trombone in 1949-53. “We
all meet men we greatly admire,
and would have in our family if
the choice were ours,” Cooper
said. “Col. Adams would be my
second father.”
Maj. Joe T. Haney, who suc
ceeds Adams, said his job will be
simply to maintain what the re
tiring director has accomplished.
He said there will be no major
changes in the Aggie Band.
“If I thought I had influenced
one person for the better, I would
feel g r e a t,” responded “the
Colonel,” as he is known to band-
men. “It’s been great working
with the men in the band. And
make no mistake, they are the
ones who make the Aggie Band.”
Col. Adams cited the “very fine
relationship” he had with the
dean of students office and other
campus organizations and offices.
“It’s real nice of all you folks
to take the time to come over for
this,” he added. “I know you
Housing Office folks don’t have
the extra time right now. You’re
all great, and we appreciate it.”
