ALUMNIJOTES
Abllqne Texas Feb. 11th 1924.
Dear Alumni:
Christmas Is over and I hope it was the
merriest possible for every one of you. I
like to think that the New Year In pass-
Ing tho first mile post has brought only
success and happiness to you all.
NoW llimc Christmas bills arc paid and
there has been ono "first" on which to get
a long lircalli I wonder if it couldn't be
possible that on or before March 15th
every person In tho Association will have
paid his dues?
Wo must make our association a living
and vital organization and in order to do
tills every member must help in tho fight.
Please send your three dollars ($3.00) to
Miss Willie Rao McDonald Simmons Colleger-arid
can't you do it at once?
Mr. Miller is proving to be all and more
than we hoped he would be. Ho is help-
ing daily ill 8 college that we love so well.
I know that you will not fail Best
wishes to you all.
Yours President
Mamie G. Hradlcy.

Urand" grow? M. B
Friday February the twenty-second
nineteen hundred and twenty-four has
passed into history. On this day.otho
greatest chapter of Simmons history was
written. Eighty young men and women
members of tho graduating class of '24
wroto that remarkable chapter.
It was a great and eventful day. Great
because that the largest class ever assemb-
led on the platform in the old chapel hall
was the very embodiment of college- loyalty
college line and college fidelity.
Tli0 history of the class together with
the prophecy foretelling it's future were
complete 'jlic class oration was by far
the best that wo have ever heard from any
class orator. But the one thing tlfn brought
such a thrill to the great audience was
when the class president announced the
four gifts which the class was presenting
to the college.
Four worthy and thoughtful gifts were
presented to tho college but space limits
the writer to mako mention of but one.
Surely this class has established a new
record in presenting class gifts. No doubt
this is the first record of any graduating
class when every member of the class
has been committed to the proposition of
taking out a life insurance policy made
payable to the institution from whicli
they graduate.
The members of tho class of '24 of Sim-
mons College have done that. The eighty
members of this class arc to take out
eighty thousand' dollars of life insurance
a thousand dollars each on the twenty
ycjr plan naming Simmons College as the
beneficiary.
This is the most significant thing that
has ever come to our college. It is nothing
more that the fruits of the loyalty cam-
paign which was launched by the Alumni
and Ex-students last June. The Alumni
Association docs not come in for any
praise for what the class of '24 has done
yet the Association feels that this comes
as a direct result of it's efforts to arouse
the loyalty of the Exes together with those
who are in school at the present that they
might rally to the support of Simmons.
The loyalty of this class hearlds a
challenge to every Alumni and Ex-student
to go their limit for Simmons. The loyal-
ty of this class foretells the greater days
which are ahead for each succeeding and
enlarging class will no doubt measure up
to the same standards of college loyalty.
Wo want to mention many other things
in this article but w0 shall have to wait
until another time. Head the next issue
of the Brand for more is to follow.

LETTERS TO LIBRARY
Another interesting addition has
been made to the present collection
of old documents and first-hand rec-
ords of recent belonging to Sim-
mons. A collection of letters tele-
grams documents and books of the

man William B. Bate of Tennessee
were found and donated to the Sim-
mons History Library by D'Armond
Crouch of Gainsville Texas.

eral later governor and senator of
" Tennessee moved to Gainsville
Texas tp spend the last days of his
life. Some time ago Mr. Crouch's
family purchased the home formerly
occupied by tho old Southerner and
found these historical relics had been
left there by tho Bate family. Mr
Crouch states that other items of in-
terest such as telegrams one of
which was written by Abraham Lin-
coln were available and would be
secured for the college later.
In tho collection here; are letters
from Mr. Bate to his wife and
friends written before during and
after the Civil war. Ono was written
to his wife- from the battlefield of
Bull Run just before tho battle.
Others describe his many feats at
securing information from thei en-
emy's territory as he was a profi
cient scout and spy as well as a great
military leader. Also there are let-
ters and telegrams from friends and
officials documents of interest-
after being elected governor and sen-
ator There are also several old
books of interest Among these is
the Rules and Regulations of the
Confederate Army; one on tho Con-
federate Constitution; and several on
. law of the middle and later half of
tho nineteenth century.
