NEW TEACHERS At
A. & N. COLLEGE
Records Of Men Selected to Fill New
Places and Vacancies In the =
Various Departments.
By JAMES HAYS QUARLES.

4 dent body and the usual changes that
occur every year in the teaching force
at A. & NJ. college, the announcement
is made that stronger list of men
will be available for teaching this year
than. ever before Heads of depart
ments have been seeking their assist
lants all summer and have been going
over the lists of those who were avail
able and have been selecting the best
| to be had at the salaries which are
paid in Texas.
\ The faculty of the college will be
unchanged except in two instances.
Lieut.. c.. l.. Fenton. Coast Artillery
Corps, U. S. A., succeeds Capt. Andrew
Moses, and there is to be a successor
selected to Charles II. Alvord, who
retres as professor OF agriculture.
The president of the college is now
looking for the best teacher OF agrl-
culture to be placed at the head or
that department.
Lieutenant Fenton is not untried in
college work. He has been teacher
at West Point, where the highest aDll-
ity is required, and as he has had eX-
perience in military institution
where cadet life is carried out and
where all students live in barracks as
they do at A. & NJ. college, he is well
fitted for his work at this college as
the head of the discipline of the corps.
While there are few changes in the
faculty, there will be quite a number
of changes in the subordinate teachers
in the college.
In the mechanical engineering de-
partment Harry +. Smith has been
selected as assistant professor. This
is raising the rank of the department,
as heretofore Prof. +. F. Fermier, at
the head of the department, has had
instructors only to assist him, but un-
der his direction the department has
grown and has become so important
that it has been decided that an as
sistant professor should be employed.
Mr.. Smith graduated from Cornell uni
versity with the degree of mechanical
engineer. Before entering upon teach-
ing he had practical work with the
Straightline Engine Company OF syria
cuse, n. Y; the Brown 4 Sharpe Man
ufacturing Company of Providence, r.
t.; the Woodbury. Engine COMPANY OF
Rochester, n. Y; and the William
Sellers Company Of Philadelphia In
1889 he was an instructor in the ma
chine work at Cornell university. AT
the opening of his second year at Cor
nell he was offered place with the
University of Minnesota, where he re-
manned for twelve years, being au-
vanced in successive stages from an
instructor to assistant professor OF the
department of mechanical engineering.
In 1901 he accepted an offer from the
Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, as professor
in charge of steam and machine de-
sign courses, where he remained ior
five years. He then became professor
of mechanical engineering at the
James Milliken university at Decatur,
ILL.,, which position he has held for hVe
years, and which he is giving up to
come to A. & NJ college. He has been
a member of the American Society OF
Mechanical Engineers for seventeen
years: a member of the Society Tor
the Promotion of Engineering Educa-
ton for fifteen years.

Rev. G. G. Giller Dies suddenly.

Delta was the scene of a death
call almost as sudden and tragic on
Monday as that of l. N. Bunting at
Grand Junction Sunday night.
Rev. G. G. Giller, who was APP
pointed to fill the pulpit at the first
NJ. E. church in Delta while Pastor
Johnson was away on a health va
cation, delivered his sermons Sum-
day in his usual health and vigor,
retiring at night in a cheerful mood.
On Monday morning he was found
in his bed in an unconscious state,
from the effects of which, four ply
sicians constantly at his bedside,
could not arouse him, and he ex-
pired shortly after noon.
Rev. Giller had suffered consider
ably from attacks of sciatic rheu-
matism, and it is probable that the
effects of these caused heart failure.
The deceased was 20 years of age.
He had filled the pulpit OF the
Methodist church in Hotchkiss for
two years, but resigned his charge
there because of i'll health. He was
a brilliant and popular young clergy
man.
Mr.. Giller leaves wife and two
little girls, fathre and mother Mr..
and Mrs. II. r. Giller, who live on
their ranch near Hotchkiss. Funer-
al services were held at the church
Tuesday forenoon, DR.. Lace of Grand
Junction delivering the discourse.
The body was taken to Julesburg.
Colorado, for burial. Many friends
of the family came down from Hotch
kiss to attend the services here.
