COLLB&E STATION. Texas. Juno 14
Thornwell Hay vice president of the Har-
rlrnan line In Texas today addressed the
largest graduating class hi the history of
th Agricultural and Mechanical college of
Taxaa and when Judge K. K. I.ovrtt of
Abilene president of the board of direct-
ors of the college called the young men
op to tbe platform In the assembly hall to
hand them their diplomas he gave out
th largest number ever glve on a single
ooaaion more than sixty having finished
the course this year.
Tbla la the close of the thirty-fourth
year of the college. During the past two
ysaro there has been a phenomenal in-
crease in the student body of the insti-
tution. Graduates In agriculture and in
engineering courses are going out into
the world and making good in their sev-
eral lines and the college is growing
mora and more In favor as the people
learn of Its work. The policy of Colonel
R. T. Miner president and the members
ef the board of directors Is to turn no boy
away who wants a chance for education.
These boys are coming by the hundreds
and- it .Is believed that next year there
miU be a thousand knocking for admis-
sion -They will be cared for in some
way- ttt It will be a -way that Is com-
rortable and healthful and every oppor-
tunity for education will be given.
j '' FLAGI POLK . WAS PRESENTED.
. Thwrsv la a bis; crowd attending the
onunsnbament exercises. Last night the
sophomore class entertained the visitors
with -vaudeville performance the
proceeds- of which went to pay 'or the
dag pels presented by that class to the
roilage. The flag pole was presented yes-
terday afternoon. It Is set directly in
front of the main building and about Its
baa la a concrete construction. In this
concrete Is a marble slab that tells that It
was presented by the class of 1912.
-Th presentation was by Chester Hohn
president of the class. Captain Andrew
Muses accepted as a representative of
-the college and James Cravens retiring
president of the Alumni association made
an address on the loyalty of the boys -jvho
would put such a permanent memorial
on the grounds of the college. The first
flag was hoisted by Cadet John Scarbor-
ough of the sophomore class whose home
la Corslcana. He was the leading figure
In the movement to raise money for this
flag pole. The entertainment given was
weU attended and it was a fine work.
Ths Alumni banquet was turned into a
Smoker last night. There was a large
crowd - present. Colonel E. B. Cushing
of Houston -sras toastmaster.
' F. J. Smith of Denlson responded to
the toast "Our Alma Mater." Mr. Smith
mads a feeling talk about the college
and spoke proudly of the fact that thin
rear his son Is of the graduating class.
He said he has another hoy who will
attend here as soon as he Is old enough
lie asserted that the college has done
mors- for the State of Texas than tbe
Htate of Texas has done for the college.

long line sf distinguished men had oc-
cupied the office of attorney general and
had been promoted to ths office of gov-
ernor bat none of these hail ever found

' Colonel Q. Wash Hardy.- formerly of
Corslcana but now of Shreveport. re-
sponded to the toast. The Aborigines of

Ha spoke of the friendliness that exists
Between former students of the college
of ths loyalty to the Institution by those
who-were at any time atudents here. lie
said that he was violating no confidence
when be said that a movement Is on foot
that will sooner or Inter provide millions
for the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege and It Is fitting because there is
nothing too great for the Agricultural
. and Mechanical college. His address was
on of sentiment and oratory and won
all hers.

kind in the country. It is a pleasure for
me to know that no Institution haa grad-
uated such a loyal lot of fellows. We have
had troubles and It seems that the
trouble we have had have brought the
members of the Alumni association and
i he Knveinlng board closer together.
Wherever you find n graduate of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college you will
find one who will fight for the Institu-
tion." PRAISE ACCORDED MILNER.
Colonel R T. Mlhier waa Introduced
by Colonel Cushing. who complimented
him upon his management of the affairs
of the college. He gave high praise to
Colonel Mllner. The president respond-
ing said that when he first came here
he decided that to make a success he
must have the assistance of the alumni
association. The most important thing
is co-operation. Through the efforts of
the alumni association and their efforts
alone more great things have been prom-
ised than ever before. We will this year
graduate the largest class In the history
of the college. In the nexV. decade we
will accomplish more for the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college than ever
in its nUtory and it will t the largest
of the kinu in Hie South and it ought to
be the luiKtst. We will Have loou boys
here as soon as we have tile buildings to
accommodate them.
( olunel l ushlng spoke of the presenta-
tion of the flagpole by. the sopnomore
class and called on Colonel James Hays
guarles to respond for the class. Mr.
jtiaries spoke of the desire and wish
of that class to be the first to present
a permanent improvement to the college;
that the young bien now in their second
year at the college are energetic able
and loyal and will do their part lor tne
future welfare of the college. He said
the loyalty of the student body today Is
equal to that of the members of the
alumni association.
Colonel Anarew Moses responded to the
toast "The Milliaiy Department." Ha
said the corps has grown beyond a battal-
ion; it will next year be a regiment and
bo hopes to see it grow to a brigade ami
then to a division. He complimented Ve
members of the cadet corps on their con-
duct and said he had a feeling of af fac-
tion for all those who have oeen at the
college with him.
Lieutenant 1. W. Holyday of the army
retponued to the tuast "The Armyv and
said that he found ureal pleasure In wit-
nessing the proficiency with which the
students here perform the military move-
ments. Hon. Hatton W. Sumners of Dallas re-
sponded to the toast "Tire Ladles" anl
made a feeling and touching talk of senti-
ment regarding the "mothers" and called
attention to tne fact that the student s
character Is thai which is formed while
at his mother's knee. '
The exeioises this morning started with
guard mounting at 8 o'clock and this was
followed by an exhibition drill by the
Ross volunteers.
During the morning Thornwell Fay of
Houston arrived to deliver the graduating
address. He was accompanied by (Jus
Radetxkl. superintendent of the Houston
and Texas Central; J. R. Christian gen-
eral fretgnt agent of the Houston and
Texas Central who has a son In tho
graduating class and his son Thornwell
Fay. Jr Colonel Milner took these visit-
ors to his office where during the fore-
noon a reception was held the membui s
of the faculty and the members of tho
board of directors atteiyltng.
The graduating exercises were held In
Ihe assembly hall of the college which
was crowded to the doors. The hand
played "Iixle" and the people .applauded.
There was a prayer bv Rev. Isaac Alex-
ander chaplain of tne college. There
was music hv a select choir under the
direction of Mrs. F. E. Olesecke. Mr.
Fay then delivered the graduating ad-
dress. THORNWELL FAY'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Fay said:
Gentlemen of the graduating class of
1!10: When the authorities of your alma
mater extended to me an invitation to
address you on this occasion It seemed
to me they departed from well estab-
lished precedents.
Generally a lawyer or a preacher Is se-
lected to make a commencement ad-
dress. Upon thinking the matter over how-
ever 1 realized that such an Institution
aa the Agricultural and Mechanical col-
lege of Texas Is too progressive to be
controlled by hide-bound precedents but
In this departure I rather feel that they
have tried an experiment which may
prove of doubtful success.
Some of the newspapers even have been
bold enough to. say that I had been
chosen for the "orator" of .the occasion.
This caused me some consternation but
I realized that the misnomer was proba-
bly the flowery designation of my good
friend the Hon. James Hays Quarles.
whose long service in newspaper work
developed the habit of giving titles to
some of us plain every-day railroad men. -I
hope therefore that you will not take
Quarles' designation seriously and expect
anything In the way of oratory from me.
The college authorities made no sug-
gestion as to the subject upon which they
expected me to talk to you today and 1
myself have made no special selection
for this purpose.
It Is hardly necessary for me to say
that I sympathize most heartily with the
alms and purposes of all such Institu-
tions as the Agricultural and Mechanical
college of Tei:as. Such Institutions are
doing a real work toward the improve-
ment and betterment of social conditions
as they exist in our country at the pres-
ent lime.
THE CIVILIAN MILITANT.
The military feature of your Institu-
tion is one that commends Itself espe-
cially to me not that we need more sol-
diers to fight our battles for our con-
tests should be in the field on the farm
In the shops and anywhere where we can
work toward the upbuilding of our State
the Improvement of her resources and
the uplifting of her citizens in every path
that leads toward right living content-
ment and prosperity.
The military discipline experienced at
the Agricultural and Mechanical college
teaches her boys obedience to orders.
This discipline in after life will mean
obedience to the laws of our country.
Obedience to the law la one of the cry-
ing needs in this country today and all
of the crime and much of the unhapl-
ness and misery of the human race can
be traced to this cause. Therefore I
commend the'mliltary discipline and feel
sure that you gentlemen of the graduat-
ing class have profited wisely by it.
Your friends will say that in gradu-
ating today you have finished your edu-
cation. Those of us who have preceded
you along the pathway of life will rec-
ognize the incompleteness of that state-
ment. Whilst your college training Is in
truth finished when you have received
your diplomas your education has really
only begun In earnest.
The chief advantage of college training
and education Is that It teaches us to
think and In the proper exercise of our
min's and abilities in after life do ws
achieve success or failure. A man who
does not use his brains is only slightly
removed from the animal. Edwin Mark-
ham In his poem on "The Man with the
Hoe" calls him a "clod" and "a brother
to the ox" b"t such a designation could
never be apfTTed to a man who uses his
brains In his work. . . .

tasks their bodies find to do Is work
towards the uplifting of the race and tbe
happiness of coming generations.
In looking over the catalogue of your
Institution I note with much pleasure
that quite a number of this graduating
class nave taken the course of agricul-
ture. There seems to lw a disposition
In some directions today to belittle the
teaching of agriculture In our colleges
but 1 believe this is confined largely to
persons who take only a superficial view
of the subject.
Aboriginal man. who dwelt in caves and
lived bv the chase was a ruthless sav-
age arid the dawn of civilization came
w!tn agriculture. There Is no nobler oc-
cupation than that of the farmer who
wrests from Mother Earth her riche-l re-
wards and these rewards are almos. al-
ways proportionate to the amount "f
brain work expended in giving direction
to the manual labor required to till the
sail.
There never was a time when agricul-
tural education was more needed in this
country than it is today. A large part
of our agricultural domain has been
brought into cultivation and much of it
has been tilled without Intelligence or
brain work. The crying need of the coun-
try at this time Is more men who have
received the proper training along these
lines to diversify our crops conserve the
fruitfulness of bur soil making us less
dependent upon the elements and to
check the waste which is going on at
such an alarming rate.
We need not only to diversify our
farming but to Intensify it as well. Tt
Is no -edlt to the ability of the Ameri-
can farmer today that our average pro-
duction of wheat per acre In the l"nltd
Ptstes Is only about thirteen busbf's.
and It takes no prophet to foresee thnt
unless some way Is found to Increase this
yield Willi the constant Increase in nnr
population. In a few years we shall
either have to import wheat or do with-
out It
IS UP TO THE FARMER.
This is only one Illustration of the
prohlem the solution of which must
largely rest with you gentlemen who
have chosen agriculture as a profession.
I believe that you can do It and I be-
lieve that you will do It. With the
proper application of the knowledge
which you have acquired at this Insti-
tution I believe that you can Increase
the production per acre of every crop
that Is produced In this State. What
nobler ambition could any man possess
and who could render a greater service
to his fellow man than this?
A gentleman told me recently that a
friend of his had a large and well-
equipped farm In Kansas. The owner of
the farm could not give It much of his
personal attention as he lived In another
State. He was. therefore obliged to rely
on such talent as he could employ to op-
erate the farm for him. The venture
was not a success and every year he had
to advance money to make good a de-
ficit. He became verv much discouraged.
Flnsllv. at the suggestion of a friend
he went to th" head of one of the agri-
cultural colleges In that section and
askrd him to recommend the best man
In his graduating class. The owner of
the farm employed this younc man at a
good salary to take charge. Method and
svstem were at once Introduced on that
farm: an accurate account was kept of
each kind of crop and live stock: anv
crop or branch of live stock that did
not make a profit was eliminated and
thoKe vteldlng the greatest profit were
increased so that this younc man from
the aerlcultural college made good and
bronchi this farm tin from the very brink
of failure to financial success.
Your catalogue shows that the greatest
number of men In this graduating class
adopting anv one profession is that of
rlvll engineers. T wish the ratio was
otherwise we have more demand for
farmers than we havefor engineers as
the farmers have much to do wlih cre-
ating work for the engineers.
THE REASON FOR TH K FN' INFER.
The rough work of this earth how-
ever Is done by the engineer Instead if
the farmer. Indeed the success of the
farmer has always been dependent to
a large extent upon the engineer. To say
nothing of the assistance rendered the
farmer by the engineer in the way of
drainage. Irrigation etc.. to farm lands
hv far the greatest assistance has been
In laying lines of transportation by
which the farmer is enabled to ship his
products to market by railroad Ve
can thus trace out the mutual dependency
of the farmer the engineer and the rail-
road and any man or set of men who
tries to array one against the other Is'
an enemy to each and all.
mrBt the farmer produces the wealth
but it Is not wealth If he can not sell It.
Second because of this wealth which
the farmer produces the engineer finds
employment in laying out and building
the railroad.
Third the railroad gives value to th
farmer's wealth and actually makes It
wealth In providing th farmer ability to
"Therefore without ths railroad the far-
mer could not realize his wealth 1 and
without ths farmer ths railroad would
have no reason to be' and without the
farmer and the railroad the engineer
would have no reason to be. .
If I were required to condense my ad-
vice to a young man taking up th pro-
fession of civil engineering In one word
that word would be "accuracy" and If
I were asked what one trait I deemed?
most essential to the success of a civil
engineer I should say "everyday horse-
sense' I do not so how It would be
possible for a young man accurate with
good common sense and the necessary
technical training not to be a success as
a civil engineer. Don't be too technical-
approach all questions from several dif-
ferent angles and solve all problems In
more than one way
You have much of the bard work of ths
world befor you. Tou hav ever been
th real pioneers In th "march of devel-
opment and civilisation and you need to
be wis In. your generation to carry on
ths work 'of progress -and transmit It
to your successors enriched by ths added

A MODERN PROFESSION.
Electrical engineering however. Is a
modern profession. The whole science of
electricity has been developed practically
within the lives of many men within
the sound of my voice today. I can re-
call when the first telephones were put
In use In this part of the country and
the practical us of electric lights and
the wonderful advance in electric trac-
tion came even later. To have told a
man a hundred years ago that a person
in Chicago could talk to another In New
York would have been thought the va-
gary of a disordered mind. We have to
stop seriously to think sometimes to re-
alise the wonderful development which
has taken place in all lines of human en-
deavor In the last two or three genera-
tions. When my grandfather many years
ago told some of his fellow members of
the Alabama legislature that whilst he
might not live to see It his son. or at
least his grandson would live to see a
railroad built from the Atlantic to the
l'aclflc across the Rocky Mountains he
was told that he was a "dreamer of
dreams."
It would therefore seem fljit any sci-
ence which la aa com para lively young as
electricity In today in its Infancy and
predictions as to what it may achieve In
the future which at present might be
deemed the wildest flight of fancy may
some day be an accomplished fact.
Oeologlsts differ as to the supply of
coal remaining in the earth. Some estlv
mates have placed this at a few hundred
years whilst others at many thousands.
None of us here will ever suffer any
Inconvenience by reason of the exhaustion
of the coal supply but It seems to me
peculiarly the province of electrical en-
gineering to find some means of produc-
ing power when the fuel supply of the
world shall have been exhausted. Wheth-
er this wilt be done by harnessing power
from the sun whether from the waves
and tides of the sea or from soma source
of power not yet known to the sons of
men Is beyond my ken. But Is the most
stupendous problem that .will confront
the coming generations and the man who
will solve It will achieve updymg name
and fame.
.One of the most practical adaptations
of electrical sclenc has been in the
field of railroad signalling. This develop-
ment is growing all the time and every
year many miles of railroad tracks in this
country are being equipped with electric
signals to prevent eareieasness In the
human element ami provide greater safe-
ty of train operation. Improvements
are constantly being made In this direc-
tion and the field of usefulness for tech-
nical men in this line is constantly ex-
panding. The development In the way of electrlo
traction Is rapidly growing as well as
In all other lines of electric uses and it
would seem as if the need for brainy men
will steadily Increase. To you there-
fore who have chosen a profession So big
with future possibilities and opportunities
I would say future success rests largely
upon you; own efforts your Industry
and Integrity.
AN IMPORTANT C(VLRSE OF 8TCDY.
Last In the list nf graduates and small-
est In number are 01 gentlemen who
have chosen mechanical engineering as
your life work. Whilst you are few in
number. I hope that you Will make up
In energy and in a determination to suc-
ceed what uu lack in numbers. 1 wish
there were a much larger number of men
who had chosen this course of study.
With the deielopmcnr of the country
along mechanical lines there Is a con-
stantly Increasing demand for men who
can carry m this kind of work.
It Is weU that mir educational Institu-
tions are taking up this class of Instruc-
tion because It U from them that our
country must obtain much of its' supply.
The trades unions wherever they have
control are limiting the supply of younrf
men who can learn the mechanical trades
their general rule being that they will
allow only one apprentice to each frve
Journeymen and one general apprentice
to each shop. .
Think of tills condition that this closes
the door of opportunity In the faces of
the young men of this country and tells
them that only one young man to each
five experienced men shall learn a trade.
Extend this principle to all tbe tradea and
professions and tell me what would be-
come of this country In a few years.
Suppose the doctors should say that
Snly one man to each flvs practicing
physicians should be allowed to learn the
profession; suppose the lawyers should
do the same and the fanners. To carry
tne principle to a logical conclusion sup-
pose the school teuchers should decree
that only one pupil to eacli flvs teachers
should be allowed to go to school what
woulo become of this country. In a very
short time? The mind becomes appalled
staggers at the thought. ;
Therefore I say It Is well that our edu-
cational Institutions are taking up this
line of Btudy and from what has been
said above the wisdom of this course will
be apparent.
There is no more useful calling than
that you have chosen ' to follow. The
farmer can produce his wealth th civil
engineer can build Ills railroad to carry
It to market but none of them can
achieve a full measure of success with-
out the aid of the mechanical man - to
provide the machinery to use th work
of the engineer to haul th farmer's
wealth to market i
There are many Improvements yet to
be mad In mechanical matters making
for greater efficiency and economy In th
use of power. It la your duty as well aa
your privilege to conserve tbs world's coal
pile; to put off as long as possible th
brain storms of th eleatrlcal engineer.

more water to the pound- of coal or In
Inventing any labor or money-saving de-
vice th world waits to reward him both

which you are now graduating raters only
to the men who do the hard work in the
world. Whilst the professions l hav
their proper places In our complex civil-
isation still many of them are neces-
sary only because of the misfortunes of
their fellow men. Not so however-with
the mechanical and agricultural. Tour
callings are to bring prosperity and con-
tentment to mankind. Whatever your
hand finds to do. that do ye with all
your might. Is a precept that we all do
well to follow. If a man is only a boot
black. It should be his aim to black boots
better than any one else and whatever
we seek to do we should strive to do It
Just a little better than any one else.
By all means be loyal. Elbert Hubbard'
of loyalty says:
'If you work for a man in heaven's
name work for him. If he pays you
wages that supply your bread and butter
work for him; speak well of him stand by
lilm and stand by the Institution he rep-
resents. If put to a pinch an ounce of
loyalty Is worth a pound of cleverness. It
you must vllllfy condemn and eternally
disparage why resign your position and
when you are on the outside damn to
your heart's content. But aa long as you
sre a part of the institution do not con-
demn It. If you do you are loosening the
tendrils that hold you In the Institution
and the first high wind that comes along
you will be up-rooted and blown away
and probably will jiever lasow why."
There is no royal road to success and
the man who thinks there Is wilt lose
his way In utter confusion led on by
some wlll-of-the-whlsp 'beyond all roads
to anywhere.
THIS FIRST WtT OF MAN.
Next to faith in God I class hard work
as thai ftrsntduty of a man. Enthusiasm
In the greatest spur to hard work a man
should be enthusiastic about his work
and shoi'ld woo his labor aa a lover woos
a coy maiden. Enthusiasm and energy
will lead to success. Success as I under-
stand It means the ability to carry on our
work so that we will contribute our best
efforts toward the common good of our
fellow men. In seeking success. If we
would also be truly happy we should not
be sordid. '
The rewards of success are sweet but
we should regard real success as our con-
tribution towards the betterment of con-
ditions in this world and not solely in
the accumulation of money. No man is
truly successful In this world whose sol
and only aim la the accumulation of
wealth. There are far nobler aimsln life
than the mere accumulation of money.
The poet who said "My mind to me a
kingdom Is" expressed in beautiful lan-
guage a thought upon vhich we can all
do well to ponder.
The world was never more in ned
of strong men men of character and de-
termination than it is today. Vast prob-
lems are looming up on the horixon. In
the solution of which you will be calle l
upon to do your part Do your own
thinking about these matters form no
hasty judgment but hear all sides and
then decide. Be self-dependent. I-et no
man put his brand upon you and say
"He will think as I think and do as 1
do."
There is abroad In the world today too
much of the spirit that "might jnakes
right." We are getting away from the
faith and sturdy honesty of our fathers.
iVe are restless always after change
rushing headlong Into new and doubtful
experiments trying to make our felloW-
men moral by law. There are men who
are spreading abroad In the land a spirit
of discontent a disregard for law and
who have all men a law unto themselves:
men who have no faith In Ood no faith
In their country and none In their fellow
men. We who' live rightly must combat
all these evil tendencies and strive right
eously for a return to the principles nf
our fathers who founded this government
and who gave their lives for Its per-
petuation. V. H. BRAl'NIQ. VALEDICTORIAN.
