High honors usually come TO a man
either after long service or through
some happy or skillful actions that
reveal his power. The greatest com.
pliment the students can pay TO any
one is TO dedicate an issue OF the Long
Horn to him. Capt. Moses had been in
the service OF the college for only

exceptional actions. that have placed
him in the lImelight OF student pop
