A research paper competition
will be held this semester to rec
ognize the Sanders-Metzger gun
collection in the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
Students who submit the best
papers on the role of firearms in
the development of the United
States will compete for the Sam
H. Sanders Award.
Jim Earle, head of the gun
collection and an engineering
design graphics professor, said
the theme of this first annual
contest will be “The Role of
Firearms in the Winning of the
West.” Papers can feature the
guns of soldiers, hunters, cattle
men, settlers, lawmen or In
dians.
Since entrants must be stu
dents at Texas A&M, Earle said,
the contest will be a great oppor
tunity to integrate academics
into a learning process.
He said papers should con
tain research and a study of the
history surrounding the use of
‘firearms from 1865 to 1900.
The prize awards are $200 for
first place, $ 125 for second place
and $75 for third place.
Although cash awards will be
given only to the best three pap
ers, Earle said, several entries

will be sent to magazines for pos
sible publication.
Dr. Sam Houston Sanders,
Class of ’22 and one of the prin
cipal donors to the gun collec
tion, has donated the prize
money for the competition.
Earle said the collection,
which is on the third floor of the
Memorial Student Center, prob
ably is one of the top five of its
kind in the world.
When Dallas gun collector
Carl Metzger died in 1949, he
left his collection which at that
time was valued at about
$160,000. Under the terms of
Metzger’s will, the guns — now
valued at more than $3 million
— were given to the University.
“Students interested in writ
ing an essay for the contest
should keep in mind the theme
of the paper,” Earle said. “The
most important thing is to re
member the romance of the old
west, and the role guns played
back then.”
The papers should be typed,
double-spaced and should not
be more than 12 pages in length,
he said. The inclusion of pic
tures and illustrations is encour
aged.
Papers should be turned in by
April 8 to 136 MSC.
