LEE Al.1JlWI OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS have been more active this • ' year in furthering the interests of their Alma Mater than they have in a decade. Messrs. Lee, Hutcheson, Hogg, and other enthusiastic alumni have finally arrived at a plan to instill into the graduates of this institution the same spirit and fellowship which characterized them in undergraduate days. Every year on March 2 the anniversary of Texas' independence, the Texans' Fourth of July, banquets and meetings are held in the different sections and counties of the State. These sections have been decided on according to population somewhat similar to the Congressional Districts. Committees and section chiefs have been appointed by the president of the Alumni Association to act in an organizing and arranging capacity and to co-operate with the general officers of the Alumni Association. The plan is meet­ing with no little degree of success, and should continue to do so with the expansion and internal development of our Alumni Association. 'fH L L ITH this, the second y~ar of its issue, the ALCALDE has become one of the fore:nost alumni publications in the coun­try. The ALCALDE suffers nothing in comparison with the OLD PENN of the University of Pennsylvania or the CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS. Time was when the alumni organization, known as an association, was only a name. but today the ALCALDE has done more than any one factor in the cementing of a heretofore loose organization into a compact and unified body. Fritz G. Lanham, the editor, is one of Varsity's most loyal and capable alumni, and spends much time in and around the University selecting his material and composing the whole. R. T. Fleming, Jr., the local edi­tor, is due much of the credit for the high standard of this publication. Dick was editor-in-chief of the Nineteen Twelve CACTUS, and has held many editorial positions in the University. In THlt ALCALDE The Al n Me ., ne his special office, adjoining the Alumni Association room, Dick "pens, ' "pur­ vey " and "cull ·• the nece ary copy for the uccessive issues of the volume. ide the at ractive cover. the ALCALDE contains other features, u h a poetry from o:ne of the Texas University bards, biographical ketch , remini cence of old alu:nni, pictures, Who' Who at Texa . Pere­ rinu in i orial , Faculty Note , Athletic jottings, Texa Exe and tud nt life. I I THE ALUMNI ROOM HE Alumni Asso­ciation is fortu­nate in having headquarters in the main building, so ac­cessible and inviting as those now afforded them. The Alumni Room, besides containing the pictures of prominent alumni and ex­students, is at present a storeroom for all the cups and banners of past ath­letic teams. The famous "Texas 6, A. & M. O" banner occupies the prominent position on the walls which should be accorded such a trophy. The faculty members, from the original in­structors and tutors to our present teachers of college youth, have their niche in this alumni hall of fame. The CACTUS in its swaddling clothes of 1894 is there, and with it the successive volumes, including that of the present date. The history and growth of the Uni­versity is portrayed vividly in these vari-colored vol­umes. Every picture, ornament, and decoration calls to mind some alumnus or ex-student of bygone days. Some are in the Cabinet-some are Justices of the Peace-but all are loyal Texas men. Along with relics of the past are hopes for the future. The Cass Gilbert drawings for the new gym­nasium are in evidence, and show what the final re­sults for a new gym will be. ·rhe following par a·­graphs are from the pen of Fritz Lanham, and we quote them with apologetic avidity: "Now that we have our cups, let me refer briefly to the two old B Hall dinner bells among our accoutre­ments. They are c o w bells. I shall not be suffi­ciently cowardly to com­ment further in merriment concerning them; suffice it is to say that they are very good specimens of their kine. Reposing near them on one of our reminiscent shelves are the eight baseballs used on the trip last spring, a jaunt which resulted in eight victories for Texas. In close proximity to these horsehides, is a pigskin. It is no longer on the ·pig. Its position is more exalted than any it ever attained on a punt. Do you ask wherefore? Two explanatory cards make reply: 'Ball won by the University of Texas from A. & M., Houston, Texas, Nov. 13, 1911, Score 6 to O;' 'R. Perry, L. E.; M.A. Ramsdell, L. T.; Louis Jordan, L. G.; D. C.

"It's a grand old room. Our genial secretary, John A. Lomax, is a splendid dispenser of an official wel­come to every former student who steps into it." lumni of the niv r ity f Texa CONGRESSMAN HENRY ow in the Low r H u of C n re Other Alumni in Congress Senator Morrie Sheppard Congres m n Callow y Congre1 m n Oie1 OTTO PRAEGER Wife of the Secretary of Agriculture Former Student of the University of Texas And a Graduate of the University Now Postmaster of Washington, D.
