A BRIEF REVIEW
Southwestern University was opened
on October 6, 1873, in a plain stone
building with a regent, two professors
and thirty-three students. In June
1923, she celebiatcd her Golden Jubilee
and stepped into her second half-cen-
tury of progress and development. This
turn into her second half century of his-
tory was made significant by the launch-
ing of the Greater Southwestern Move-
ment. ■
This Movement had its origin in the
Ex-Students Association of the Univer-
sity and was launched under the join*:
auspices of that association and the
University’s Board of Trustees. Its ob
jective was the securing of $500,000 to
be used in erecting the Cody Memorial
Library, :i Gymnasium, and the increas-
ing of the University’s Endowment.
Rev. Glenn Flinn, an alumnus of the
University, was called to promote the
movement and as its Kxecutive Secre-
tary, and the movement was formally
launched in June, 102.5. After the de-
struction of the Woman’s Building by
tire in January, 1025, the objective of
the movement, was enlarged to embrace
a new dormitory. Its prograss has been I
such as to gratify and encourage the
friends of Southwestern. A total of I
inm e than $.'540,000 has been subscribed I
tedate and new subscriptions and money I
are being received every day.
Last commencement was the most suc-
cessful from a standpoint of attendance
and enthusiasm of the "exes” at their
annual banquet.
Even with the extreme drouth in this
j part of the State, Southwestern held a
I good attendance showing that more
students are looking toward us for their
education.
After the burning of the Woman’s
Building on the night of January 8,
1925, the campaign to rebuild it was
immediately started. In eight hours
the students of the University raised
around $8,000. The people of George-
town subscribed at once over $60,000.
Under the direction of Mr. K. L. Crain,
one of Southwestern’s most prominent
sons in Houston, a campaign there was
most successful.

This port fait is as true to life as I
can see to make it. But being as she is
a woman and I am a man, then what
ever is rong with it is due to the plain
fact that Does a man ever understand a
woman, mutch less the Dean of the
Women Folks? She is a mustang pony,
believe me. She never gets wore out.
And when any body wares well ther is
nothing better to say about them.
