line that opposition has developed to
single administration for the Agri-
cultural college at College Station,
the branch Agricultural and Mechan-

Vile:
have read with considerable inter-
est and surprise the press reports
concerning the administration and
organization OF the West Texas Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical college. It

and that am now opposed to making
the institution . first class college.
I have done everything could tc
make my position clear. both to the
legislature and the people Of the State
concerning this matter. For many
years I have favored the establish
ment Of four branch colleges to ranh
a. junior colleges.
have not favored the establish
ment Of . coordinate Agricultural
and Mechanical college.
