SIMMONS IS DESERVING
Doctor Cooper has made the following statement concerning the condi-
tion of Simmons University at this time. The Brand wishes to join in with
Docotr Cooper and heartily endorses the idea that he has developed.
Simmons University deserves well of Abilene. It deserves well of
this great section of which it was the pioneer of higher education in this
great and coming part of the United States. It deserves well of education
in Texas for it has sent out three thousand teachers with more or less
professional training to teach in the public schools in the state. It deserves
well of the great denomination to which it has been always and still is
loyal holding steadfastly to the traditional faith of the denomination and
of the ideals of Christian education.
Simmon3 has accomplished amazing lesults with incredibly limited
financial resources. It has won recognition for its standard of scholarship
throughout the stale and the nation and into the lands beyond the sea and
far away to the other side of the world.
Simmons has reached and passed beyond its present financial re-
sources. It calls now to its friends c cry where to the friends of sound
Christian education near and far for such addition to its resources as will
enable it to meet the growing demands made. upon it to do its part in
carrying forward its great mission to religion and to human welfare.
It is incredible that men and women of means faith in God and
human progress will not answer its appeal generously and immediately.

Since sportsmanship is a thing that can and should be practiced every
where it can be practiced in the classroom jusi as wen anu io jusi a B
advantage as it can be practiced anywhere and it is certainly no less essen-
tial in the classroom than it is anywhere else. A good sport in class is
one who prepares his own lessons; a good sport does not cut classes; and
a" good eport is honest in all his class work.
There are some students who never prepare daily recitations. Ijiey
meet class day after day without preparing the Isson assignmnt. They
depend on what others have learned to pass them. From the class dis-
cussion they take enough notes to get them by on the course. But one
who is a good sport in the classroom neer things of making his grades
in that manner. On the other hand a good sport makes due preparations
for his lessons. He contributes everything he can to the class discussion.
He revels in malcing good grades. The student who is a good sport in Ins
classes will generally be found to be succeosful out of them.
Then there are the students who instead of reveling in good grades
seem to revel in cutting classes. Besides not gtting what has ulready been
paid for it jifat simply is not like tho good sport to cut classes; the act of
cutting classes just simply is not characteristic of the makeup of the good
sport. Good sports always meet their classes and they meet them on tunc.
They meet them because they like to meet them; that is the very purpose
for which they are going to school. The.good sport is so narrow minded
that he cannot sec that it profits one to pay his tuition and then cut classes
all the term: the good sport just can not see how he can get his money
worth if he cuts his classes. The real truth of the matter is that the good
sport is so energetic and so interested in acquiring knowledge that he does
not want to cut his classes.
ti. ik inmp Btnflents whose eves are related to the wandering
Jew in that they rove all over the room when they should be confined to
the limits oi their own little uiue books uuuu spuna uic .. -.j...--
they can not see beyond the region of their own papers. Honesty in tnu
classroom is cerainly a patrt of classroom sportsmanship; one can not
be dishonest and be a good sport at the same time. One can not lie dis-
honest and play fair at the same time and a good sport must always play
tho game in a fair manner. Those who practice sportsmanship will no
depend on the accomplishments of others to get them a good grade bood
snorts believe that honesty is essential to a good strong character and
character is essential to sportsmanship. . . . .
Well why go on with the (discussion? The time for making the
resolutions of the new year is almost here. Take the hint and do not
omit classroom sportsmanship when you formulate your resolutions Tor
1931.
TEXAS UNIVERSITY'S RICHES
How rich is Texas University sometimes described as the wealthiest
institution of higher learning in the world asks the Dallas Morning JSews
in a recent editorial. . ......
A stated report bears a complete answer in the following statistics.
In trust funds representing donations from various private sources it was
reckoned to have in bonds and notes $832000. To this n added lands in
Galveston tp be worth S145.000 or enough to make its endowment from
private gifts approximately 1000000 for special purposes noted in the
00 Buildings and improvements in Austin run to about HJW0jK;
equipment including the library (books etc. estimated at 81500000)
cornea to another 83000000 while the grounds owned in Austin including
the Brackenridge lands are valued at about $2000000. This makes an
Austin total of 9000000 for the physical plant and appurtenances. The
Medical blanch at Galveston brings this up to 810700000 for the two.
The College of Mines at El Paso shows a total of about $300000. Thus
the grand total arrives at the round sum ofSll.000000 for the university
and its branches excluding the Agricultural and Mechanical College as
a branch.

I want "o cropo to hang upon tho

I want no bell to toll the way to
where I lie;
I want no sorrowful prayers
upraised to Him on high;
want no heart to sob nor any
heart to cry.
want the flowers the bees the

I want a bee to buzz around the

I want a flower to bloom upon

The queen's race goes to prove that

tending Tech. .
Fire extinguishers wero needed for
the first time since wo enrolled for
that B hour course in Monotony last

Full dress banquets are enough for

"Tho most thrilling moment of any
game to me" says Prof. Arnetto
"was In the last quarter of the Slin-mons-IIoward
Payne gamo of 1027
with all the sports writers picking
Howard Rayne as the winner.
"Simmons was experiencing only a
fair season with very little chance of
winning the conference title while
Howard Payne had a powerful team
thnt was expected to be a strong
contender. Howard Payne camo to
Abilene thnt day confident of victory.
They were not oven very greatly
worried when they failed to score in
tho first half. They thought Sim-
mons was only playing on Inspiration
and that eventually they wpuld score.
Simmons had held tho "rellow
Jackets scoreless to the last period
but had never bocn In very threaten-
ing position themselves. The Cow-
boys came into possession of tho ball
and managed to take it to the Howard
Payno thirty yard line. Thrco lino
plays failed to click and tho Cow-
hands dropped back for a place kick
formation
"Sweedo I'lttman a fourth year
man dropped back Into kicking posi-
tion while the Simmonsltca .hoped
against hope that tho kick wolud bo
good. The ball was snapped 'into
play and went twisting and turning
gracefully between the (joal posts
from tho trusty Pittman too. Th
gamo finished 3-0 for tho last and ono
of the few Simmons victories over
Howard Payne."
