ment having been accomplished
largely through the efforts OF
Mr.. Will G. Hogg of Houston,
the son of the lamented James
Stephen Hogg, who, himself,
during the latter years OF his
life, was greatly interested in
higher education, and expressed
the purpose OF conducting in

State institutions Of higher edu-
cation, and for their permanent
removal from the domain of
fractional and partisan politics.

cation comprehended in the
work of the Hogg Organization,
each receiving equal considera-

Schools, the College of Industri.
al Arts, the Agricultural and

1t is the purpose of the HOgg
Organization to encourage by all
legitimate means the enlarge
ment of the institutions of high
err education in Texas, and there
by, to increase the volume and
the quality of service rendered
to the people by such institutions
and to remove them from the do
main Of fractional and partisan
politics. In this laudable under
taking all patriotic, ambitious
Texans should unite.
Each Of the higher education
al institutions is in great need of
more and bettes buildings, Of a
larger supply of well-trained
ana capable teachers, and Of en-
larged laboratory and library
equipments. Education is fun
damental to the welfare of the
Commonwealth. 1t is the basis
and hope of happiness, efficiency
and prosperity for the individual
for the community, and for the
State. No greater or more inn
portant work could be under
taken for the State, and the men
in charge of the movement com
mand the confidence of the peO-
pie and give strong hope of a
chewing great things for educa-
