phases ot work Howard Payne col-
lege graduates were doing and their
being stationed on every continent,
and In every foreign land. He pre-
sented each guest with a neat copy
of every graduate of the Institution,
his occupation and his present res-

Dean Thomas H. Taylor told
what it is all about. He showed the
old students Just how Howard
Payne College stands. He showed
why the endowment must be rais-
ed. He said Howard Payne could
exist If the Institution could pull
through three or four years and get
on Its feet with an endowment, but
laughed when he imagined 1.000
students here at the present time.
Being so far in the bole an>l los-
ing so much money every year, he
showed that more students will in-
crease the indebtedness. “We need
Howard Payne to do the Lord’s
work." he reminded. “We must
hare 120.000 a year." he let it be
known. Farther, he let It out that
students should be of the variety
who can afford to pay their way
through school and not be
who are working
school. /
"In the next three years the al-
umni must help Howard Payne get
on Its feet." he raid In concluding.
went to thehrloag list of victories
which, have been made this season
over T. LA. A. teams, Texas Con-
ference trams and non-assoclatlon
