Come to Dulci for a Banquet
The First Annual Banquet o the An announcement that caused pro-
Students Council of Daniel Baker Col- j "?ed applause and brought out
A . . . some college yells was the statement
lege given last night at the Dulci was '
. . by the Athletic manager that the ser-
a most extraordinary affair m more . A1 .
vices of Mr Luther Burleson had been
rov than nita Thorft U'flC n HlClllnV
V .r ; 7 " T" secured for football coach for the com-
oi enthusiasm and college spirit rare-' r
ly seen even among college students
and the initial banquet set a precedent
which will here after be faithfully fol-
lowed up.
The students first lield their "rally"
at the college chapel and amid college
songs and yells and speeches from
visiting alumni and Ex-president
Chandler transacted whatever of un-
finished business there- was to come
before the body.
The body of students and friends
then adjourned to the Dulci where
that prince of caterers Chas Sivells
had everything in readiness for a
sumptuous feast. Seventy-four plates
were laid nd the fun and merriment
begun. W. H. McLaran acted as toast
master.
One of the most pleasant features of
the occasion was the address of Ex-j
President S. E. Chandler who is at'
pres4tt occupying a chair in the Texas I
Theological Seminary at Austin andi
witik II his old time araor and good!
cheer' lie brourht rounds of applause '
in his.r&stHiHse to tie toast "The Ideal j
Cottage Ma." I
Kirtqmtrick President of the
Alamui Association responded to the
toast "The Alumni Association An Op-
po'rtiinity." Mr. Kirkpatrick dwelt i
Tnerer esectlly on the immediate fu-f
ture of the college and the steps that
have been taken which make the fu-1
ture outlook extremely promising. He
also .suggested to the Student Council
that a 'memorial be addressed .to the j
Synod requesting a shake-up in the
membership of the Board of Directors
of the college which would give more
zest and earnestness to the work. He
.stated that members of the Board who
live in remote portions of the state
and never attend a meeting could not
possibly he of much service to the col-
lege. Ghas. Hallum responded to the
toast "Why is a Student." and his re-
marks brought 'forth much applause.
Probably the snappiest most clear
cut and ringing speech of the evening
as the response byMr Walter Ford
to the toast "Hints Helps and Hopes."
Mr. Ford as retiring president of the
Students Council urged a continuance
of the notable college spirit that had
characterized the student body during
the college year just closing. His ad-
dress was couched in eloquent lan-
guage and had the fire and enthusiasm
that sweeps a student body off their
leet

bond issue la a county matter and
that the city is in no wise connected
therewith. I do not believe that such
erroneous assertions make pood qam-
paign thunder and I especially urge
that the people be not decelved.Brown-
wood people and all those living In
precinct one cannot afford to refuse at
this time to embrace the opportunity
offered them. Other live and progres-
sive counties are voting large bond
issues for the purpose of. building
j roads and Brownwood should not be
'behind the procession."
i The mayor discussed the great effort
being made by the city government to
build permanent streets and was much
concerned about the proposed bond is-
sue which will mean good roads for
precinct one.

A LITTLE TOO SLOW
LY SOME THINGS.
When San Angelo learned that
Brownwood had arranged for Mr.
Bryan to lecture here a strong ef-

to have the great Vardaman lecture
on the Impending Crisis and the Dal-
