MISS KUYKENDALL
Miss Laura Kuykendall left Saturday for Temple where she
will undergo a very serious operation. Miss Kuykendall will be ab-
Bent during the month of December. It is not necessary to remind
ourselves of the affection we hold toward Miss Kuykendall, it is not
necessary to say how we shall be wishing and working for Miss Kuy-
kendall. Miss Kuykendall has been in serious need of the operation
for some time and the doctors all advised it; but she has wished to
delay it. At the advice of friends and relatives she haa finally con-
sented to the operation. The Annex is like an army without a general
when Miss Kuykendall is gone, but the authorities of the Annex have
no fear of disorganization or panic, for the Annex, as an organization,
is like the most perfectly trained army; so perfectly trained that it
can operate without its general.
PROFESSOR PRITCHETT
Last week's Megaphone recorded the death of Prof. Pritchett
of San Marcos. Prof. Pritchett has always been a true friend to
Southwestern. His queer but friendly figure was a familiar one about
Southwestern. At commencement time he was always here and when
the financial affairs of the University seemed hopeless, Prof. Pritchett
often came to the rescue. Prof. Pritchett sent his children to the
school and many Southwestern students remember merry week-end
parties at his hospitable home.
The editor remembers when he first met Prof. Pritchett, and
thought what a queer old man he was. Later, when he had talked
with him, he begpn to think what an agreeable old man he was. Then
he came to know that he was not so old and that each succeeding year
had brought to Prof. Pritchett not age, but the spirit of youth and the
sympathetic understanding of youth.
He is gone, now, his work finished, his books closed, his chair
vacant, his class room still, his home mourning, his friends, among
which are numbered the Southwestern men and women, sad.
THE Y. M. C. A.

There has been an unusual amount of criticism of the University
Y. M. C. A. among the young men of the college. The regrettable part
about it is that this criticism is very just; particularly as it concerns
the members of the cabinet who by their negligence and indifference
have allowed the Y.,M. C. A. to degenerate into a second-rate' organi-
zation. The article published in The Megaphone in last week's issue
is not the only criticism although it is a fairly representative one.
No one realizes the shortcomings of the Y. M. C. A. any more
than do its cabinet members and no one feels more keenly than they
do that these shortcomings are due in a large measure to the short-
comings of the cabinet members. The cabinet members are all intel-
ligent and we may say representative members of the boys and they
are representative of the faults and of the possibilities of the students.
They do not pose as perfect examples and they are merely striving to
make the Y. M. C. A. the factor it should be ill raising the standard of
living within the college.
These young men have gone to work to rebuild the Y. M. C. A
They realize that through their failures the Y. M. C. A. has failed and
that because of their failure the task of remaking the Y is a difficult
one; but they are not going to show a yellow streak.
Let every boy assist them. Let the criticism cease ancl let ev-
ery student lend his aid in making Southwestern's Y. M. C. A. the best
organization for young men in the State of Texas.

STATE TEACHERS
MEET IN RItt HOTEL
SOUTHWESTERN BANQUET FEA-
TURED AT ANNUAL MEETING
IN HOUSTON
The annual session of the Texas State
Teachers' Association was held in Hous-
ton Thursday, Friday and Saturday, No-
vember 27, 28 and 29. (Teachers were in
attendance representing every section of
the state and every department of school
life. The public lectures were held in
the municipal auditorium and the vari-
ous sectional meetings were held in the
churches, banquet halls, school buildings
and faculty rooms of the Rice Institute.
Some of the most noted lecturers and ed-
ucators of the United States were in at-
tendance. Dr. Mimms, who lectured at
Southwestern on last Wednesday and Dr.
Dodd, who will lecture on Tuesday even-
ing, were among the speakers.
Dr. R. E. Vinson of State University
was elected president for the coming
year and Professor R. W. Tinsley of
Southwestern was made vice chairman.
' The spacious lobby of the Rice Hotel
was the headquarters or general meeting
place. It was indeed interesting to look
down from the balcony on the huge
crowd below the individuals of whom
seemed to do nothing but mill around.
One of the principal features of the
meeting outside o fthe regular, business
program was the Southwestern banquet
held in the banquet room of the Rice at
6 p.m. Friday. Many celebrities of the
long ago were present; in fact, eacn
speaker tried to prove the other had pre-
ceded'him at Southwestern in the early
days. Hon. Frank Andrews acted as
toastmaster. Judge Sam Streetman, Dr.*
H. A. ShandSj former professor, Hon. Jno.
E. Green, Jr., former U. S. District At-
torney, Hon. Jno. M. Mathis and Pres-
ident C. M. Bishop responded when called
upon for speeches. With the exception
of Dr. Bishep all were very reminiscent.
One speaker referred to the time when
the old Prep was all the pnysical equip-
ment of Southwestern University. Dr.
Bishop was the last speaker and called
attention to the mrterial growth of the
old college and the bright prospects for
the future. He also pointed to the beau-
tiful service flag on the wall, holding
571 stars exclusive of the S. A. T. C., fif-
teen of which were gold. He further
called attention to the enthusiasm of tne
students from the various towns in the
organizations of clubs and when he
stated that Houston was in the lead it
produced gteat applause.
The ladies bad decorated the banquet
hall with the service flag and S. U. pen-
nants and yellow flowers, bringing out
the University colors. There were sev-
enty present, mostly ex-students of Hous-
ton. It was a noticeable fact that very
few of Southwestern's teacher students
were in attendance upon the meeting of
the association,' hence the number of
teachers at the banquet was small.
President Bishop, Dean Wunder and
Professor Tinsley were Southwestern's
representatives present.
