Impressions 0 the A M College
What most impresses a visitor on the occasion of his first trip to the Agricultural
and Mechanical College is the immensity of the institution Few persons in Texas who
have not visited the A and M College have anything like a comprehensive idea as
to the size of the College with reference to campus and equipment Most of them
before they visit the College are willing to admit that it is a great institution anc
that it is conserving a great purpose but they are not prepared for the sight which
meets their eyes when they first alight from the train or the trolley car at College Well
hardly
I shall not forget soon the sort of lost feeling that came over me when I fell off
an 1 G N train one afternoon late during the holidays As far as I could see there
were acres and acres of trees and seemingly no end to the number of buildings that
poked their noses through the cedars and extended a welcome to the newcomer There
were big brick buildings and then dozen of wooden structures which I afterwards came
to learn constituted Honeymoon Row and pronounce that 0 long as in show
please The grass was green and the trees were green and the few persons then on the
campus were friendly
ALL THE BOYS IN THE WORLD
Then a day later boys began 0 flock back and my astonishment at the immensity
of the campus which consists of 2416 acres and is adorned with several score buildings
was overcome by my surprise at the number of boys enrolled I didn t know there were
so many boys in the world and such boys too Fine chests and rugged physiques
no disease could flourish among them except hookworm About the third day when
they marched to the noon meal there were more than nine hundred of them I heard
a farmer attending the Short Winter Course remark to a friend If those boys but
take advantage of their opportunities here and apply themselves diligently to the
work outlined for them Texas is safe and a few days later I came to appreciate
fully the wisdom of that remark
TRAINING IS VARIED
For if I had been surprised at the vastness of the College grounds and at the
value of the College equipment and later at the army of boys enrolled at A M
that surprise was as nothing compared to the astonishment that was mine when I came
to realize fully the great diversity of training given at the College I have been here
now some ten weeks and have found that a boy can be taught to make anything
from a kite to a dynamo how to build a good road how to secure from Mother Earth
the choicest fruits the most valuable crops how to utilize to the greatest extent the
electrical current how to operate a cotton mill how to cure the dumb brute of suf
fering and restore him to health how to produce and how to market in a word to be
at once a soldier and a citizen
And with all of this technical training there is given a world of general instruc
tion The boy is fitted for work in any of the arts crafts or sciences and too is

I given sufficient academic instruction to properly inform him and give him polish and
refinement to develop him into a well rounded man
Athletic activity so essential to the proper development of the body is insisted
upon and under competent instruction the cadets are trained in athletic pursuits that
provide at once wholesome amusement and essential physical development for the boy
The social life is soon to be quickened by the co mpletion of the handsome Y M C
A building which will be fitted with reading rest and various amusement rooms
All lines of Y M C A work will be carried out under the direction of a paid
general secretary
The campus is amply supplied with tennis courts and baseball grounds so that
although a boy may not be sufficiently expert along any certain line of athletics to
make the teamhe still is not deprived of the use of tennis courts or baseball grounds
A well equipped natatorium adds materially to the comfort of the cadets

II BACK TO THE SOIL
But to hark back to this study thing It hasn t been many years since the Agricul
tural School was the little end of the horn so to speak at the Texas A M College
But you can t keep a squirrel on the ground and neither could the intelligent farmers
of the State be kept froni realizing that their sons could not succeed as farmers unless
they fitted themselves properly to perform that calling Hence the enrollment in this
School has grown with the years and instruction on every topic of possible interest
to the farmer is now given
I
I
I
I
Four separate courses are offered in Agronomy Horticulture Animal Husbandry
and Dairying as well as a two year course in Agriculture It is the object of these
courses to give young men a thoroughly practical and scientific training in those
branches of science which relate to agriculture and at the same time to give a general
training in the English language History Physics Chemistry and Mathematics
The School of Agriculture comprises eight complete departments Agronomy
Animal Husbandry Biology Dairy Husbandry Entomology Extension Horticulture
and Veterinary Science
AGRONOMY comprises the theory and practice of the production of field crops
In this department instruction is given in those subjects which relate especially to theI

field and its affairs such as soils farm crops seed selection plant breeding irrigation
and drainage farm powers farm motors farm machinery and farm management It
is the purpose of this department to train the student to produce maximum crops and at
the same time keep the soil permanently productive
Judging feeding breeding and management of livestock is taught by the Department

of ANIMAL HUSBANDRY The courses are designed to give the student a thoro gh
understanding of the livestock business in all of its phases and to better fit him
for work in this line whether it be stock farming ranching teaching or investigation
The work of the BIOLOGY Department is designed to furnish the student with
that accurate and thorough knowledge of the structure and functions of plants and of
a imals which is essential for those who purpose to engage in the arts of Agriculture
and Horticulture Especial emphasis is laid upon the laboratory work where the
student is induced to form habits of independent observation and thought
The courses of study offered in the DAIRY HUSBANDRY Department are for
the purpose of giving special training in the manufacture and handling of dairy
products The College Creamery which is run in connection with this department
affords laboratory facilities for working out the practical problems involved in these
courses
I
f
The courses in the ENTOMOLOGY Department are so arranged as to give studentG
in Agriculture a practical knowledge of the lives habits and economic importance of
insects The department is equipped with wax models showing external and internal
anatomy of various insects with dissecting tools and microscopes a collection of in
s cts for reference and a good entomological library for students use

The HORTICULTURAL Department has a twofold purpose first to develop
scientific Horticulture and secondly to properly equip students to become practical
truck and fruit growers Especial stress is laid on fruit growing and students are
given work along the lines of tree dentistry budding grafting spraying and other
branches df work essential to practical fruit production
The Veterinary Science Department is extremely fortunate in having two of the best
veterinarians in the country The class rooms and laboratories are fairly well equipped
with books skeletons diseased bones tumors parasites charts etc A small hospital
erected in 1908 affords opportunity to witness surgical operations and the management
and treatment of sick animals
The Department of AGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONS was established for the
purpose of extending the benefits of the College to men actively engaged in farmin g
and to others interested in agricultural pursuits but not in a position to enter upon a
regular college course They give correspondence courses short winter course help
promote agricultural work at Fairs send out demonstration trains and carryon Boys
and Girls Club work over the state
The main station of the TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION
is located on the campus in connection with the College as a department It has a
working staff composed of a chemist an entomologist an agronomist a botanist a

bandryman and their assistants They are doing a great work in experimenting along
all agricultural lines and from time to time these exp riments are reported in bulletin
form and sent free upon application to the farmers of the state and others interested
in agricultural development
There is a great demand for well posted men in any of the lines of agriculture
and the School of Agriculture is sending out such men every year who become lead
ers in the work they take up
CIVIL ENGINEERING
Long before school closes in June Jimm ie Nagle Dean of the School of Civil
Engineering and Professor of that subject receives calls for young engineers These
calls come from railroads and big construction companies and the demand is always
in excess of the supply And the worth of the training given boys in this depart
ment is attested by the prominent positions now held by A M graduates
The department is well equipped and before another year has passed it is expected
t hat a well equipped hydraulic laboratory will be provided for the students of this
department At present every kind of an instrument needed by an engineer is to be

found in the laboratroy but the instructors in this department are demanding that
a separate building for hydraulics be provided and it looks as if their wish will be
granted
The work in this department is especially practical Cadets are kept busy at practice
and excursions to important engineering works to make observations are taken each
year Instruction along the lines of highway cOllstruction location maintenance and
construction of waterworks systems protectionl levees irrigation and drainage canals
and ditches reservoirs bridges masonry structures the surveying and mapping of
areas and drafting is given
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

tories of the new building of this school One especially good feature of the work is
that the most successful electrical engineers of the South are brought to A M to
talk to the students of this department on subjects of vital importance
The College maintains its own power plant and the boys are given practical in
struction here The recent addition of a wireless telegraph station affords additional
Nor has Architecture and Architectural Engineering been neglected at the A M
College A regular four year course designed to fit men to hold high positions as
architects is offered This work includes general c ourses in English history economics
military science mathematics physics chemistry and geology technical courses in
drawing descriptive geometry perspective pen and ink and water color rendering ar

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Inasmuch as mechanical engineering is essentially the base of all eng neering
especial stress is laid on the work of this department The Mechanical Engineering
School is equipped with a wood shop forge shop machine shop and a tool room all
well equipped with various appliances and appurtenances essential to proper instruc
tion It is the object of this department to prepare the student in the elements of
mechanical engineering and give him such training as will fit him to design construct
and erect machinery power plant equipment and to operate this with the greatest
economy of labor and materials and to the greatest degree of efficiency
TEXTILE ENGINEERING
Realizing the importance of the cotton industry in Texas authorities at the College
decided to establish a textile mill to be operated in connection with the College and
to fit men to manage mills The work of this mill enhanced by a wide variety erf
machinery gives employment to a number of skilled workmen and at the same time
affords instruction for the students Sheeting is manufactured at the mill which ispracticallyselfsupporting
And then after the mill was established the College heads took a nother though
and decided to establish a School in Cotton Classing Cotton production naturally
brings on the problem of cotton marketing and so under the direction of J B Bagley

Zeke hails from Bryan and is very
proud of his native burg He is
Johnnie Burn s pet and uf course
made the Chicago Stock Judging
Team The other members of thc
team did not see much of Zeke
while in Chicago for he tayed
with his relative most of the time
he said He has a very beautiful
figure though he is what Prof
Burns calls gimlet waisted and
we presume it is for this reason
that he is such a ladies man He
is constantly boasting of tIie number
of hearts that he has smashed but
after all Zeke is a pretty good fel
Jow but always watch him or he
will get the best of you in a jewelry
trade

Anyone wanting information con
cerning tbe address of any girl at
Baylor or Kidd Key College sbould
apply to Price One would think
upon hearing Price talk that he
bad at some time written to every
girl south of tbe Mason and Dixon
tine It is evident that he carries
a considerable amount of corre
spondence for that is about all he
can be found doing We predict
great things for him and have no
doubt as to his ability to nandle
any propositoin that he might un
dertake for his quiet and unassum

where ever he may go

J Walter is one of those hard
working beings that make the rest
of us look like professional loafers
by comparison But in spite of all
the work that this man dCcom
pHshes he still finds time to hold
a place in the rural social circles
lying adjacent to College Station
School teachers seem to be his chief
hobby and we trust that he will
some day have and be one W
is somewhat a disciple of Dr Fraps
and in addition to emulating this
famed scientist s love of ccuracy
has also accomplished his smile
which is going some We cannot
do other than foresee a bright future
in the scientific field for him

As soon as he could crawl his

ways catching flies While learning
to walk Jimmie always rode the
horses to and from the field and
to retain his seat he turned his
toes in and locked his little leg
fast around the beast thus the
4 bow legs and Hpigeon toes
Vhen plowing he always carried a
pocket full of rocks to throw at
the rabbits hence the peg But
