GREETINGS
"The Simmons Brand" extends greet
ings to its constituency graduates un
der graduates forrnexatudentsrTtntn
frfendsf and" to Its contemporaries in
College Journalism. ' " ' .'
With the advent of the Weekly wo
do'. not .intend that the literary side
of the college life shall be neglected'
but rather- stimulated for the Corral
which will bp edited by Claud Llpyd
and appear once each term will bo a
.larger and more complete magazine
devoted to literary productions. It
I3 hoped. that the "pep" which the
Weekly will generate will react upon
the Quarterly. Th5se prpductions
published fa' the first issue of the sup-
IememV w'ilf -be entered In'' competi
tion in the Texas Intercollegiate
Press Association Prize Contest which
iswield every spring.

Since Simmons first took her place
niong the colleges she iias stamped
heriBrand"upon all who canio In touch
with her.- Upon tho students who have
gone out Into the world to Jive the
ideal that tills "Brand"- inlplys; uppn
the people who have been Indirectly
associated with the College; and fin-1
ally Upon the entire West. '
And n6w we wish to embody In con
crete form the "Ideal'' of the. "Sim-
mons Brand." . Such a brand suggests
loyalty service obedience to duty" and
good will townrd men. Simmons Is
predestinQcJto be tho 'UnlV'endty of
the. West and in the language of the
West she is. stamping her "Brand"-
on Texas. "
Mr. John B. Miller 20. Jms the hon
or of suggesting tho name'lYJth which
the Simmons weekjy wlll.be branded
Ths name was given' preference 6yor'
many possible names '.that were enter-
ed In the contest because of' 'the 'sug-
gestion of tho West which it carries
being In line. with-' pjher Summons
publications and because; .It holds- up
to be followed att ldeal. The Win
n'Jng letter is; "In ylew of. .the act
that Simmons ''Cprra'Js" y6ung. aspir-
ants of learning and turns out '-young
"Broncos' in knowledge "I .suggest
that the. weekly be nampd ''The Slm-
HiofiB Brand"- and may it be.Slm.mons'
branding Iron." (Signed) John B.
.Miller
The probability is that the first
issue of The Brand will reach the
public at a-later date than Its Tegular
.:( time of' delivery Friday noon. It Is
"' 4Apd that this delay will be pardoned
m the staff has had to contend with
. i. own inexperience and the rush and
excitement of the Fair.
"BlWrt . Hubbard has said:' ''An
. uoueeof leyaliy is worth a pound of
clcrernsss." In the support which the
aiudsnU have given their new paper
w fssl ttiat wshaveVeoslyed a pound
of loyalty. 8prrd on toy this feeMng
w will bead every ef fort to that
tite pr t eat on tin henceforth.

the advances of our advertising
(agents. This fact can.be appreciated
wheR one knows of their Increased
business worries in connection with'
the Fair. We ate thankful for the
support- of the business men and in
return will endeavor to make The
Brand the best news and advertising
medium within our means.
' THE SIMMONS "WEAKLY"
There aro two agencies for the. dis-
tribution of news. One dates from
the Garden of Eden the other made
its appearance- after the invention of.
the printing-press. With these two
agencies combined In' The Brand and
Its Editress hopes arc entertained
that It will at least prove as strong In
attaining- . desired resUlta as that
."matchless and unbeatable combina-
tion of S. P. Brooks and Submission"
. A try"-out for the staff of the Weekly
will be hohl at nn early date. Watch
bulletin for announcements. "Work"
will bo the pass word Into the staff
