tribute funds to be expended by

COLLEGE
FOUNDED EARLY

Southwestern University Is .
college OF liberal arts belonging 70
the Methodist church OF the State
OF Texas. BY its charter 1t goes
back to the year 1870. when the
first college was established by
Rev. Martin Ruter at Ruterville.
Southwestern University Is pro-
posing to operate today q first
class college Of liberal arts. There
are many advantages inherent In
the situation looking toward the
success or such an undertaking.
The type OF work which has been
done through all the years by the
university Is manifested by the
number of prominent and success
full men and women who have re-
ceived their training there. An In
stitution can best be judged not by
buildings OF garish publicity which
might attract the attention OF the
unthinking. but BY the quality Of
les product. Judged by this high
est standard. Southwestern Univer-
sity has rendered a distinct service
to the church and to the civiliza-
ton OF the southwest. and Is
worthy OF the highest appreciation
and consideration OF this south
western territory.
Some Of the advantages or South
western University lie in the fact
that it is located IN a small town.
Georgetown IS a city Of less than
5000 population. which has grown
up largely around the university
Such an atmosphere provides loca-
ton for q real academic institu-
ton. Then, too. the student body
Is limited. Only 200 freshmen are
permitted to register. This gives a
college student body Of approx
mately 500. In such a situation.
close personal attention may be
given TO the individual and the
student receives the best sort OF
opportunity for his own personal
development. Also, the student
body Is not so large but that the
individual student can come 10
know intimately the faculty and
the other members OF the student
group. This personal acquaintance
and friendship bears increasingly
useful results throughout all OF
life.
Southwestern University belongs
70 the Association of Texas Col
leges, the Association OF Colleges
and Secondary Schools OF the
Southern States. and the Ameri-
can Association Of Colleges. This
rating entities her graduates or
other students who care TO trans
fer full credit rating for the work
done at Southwestern University.
In addition to the academic
standards. southwestern University
UNDERWRITERS certain ideals which n
themselves have been powerful IN
fluences in the moulding Of char
acter. AS an institution OF the
church. Southwestern Universit,
stands firmly for the whole pro-
gram OF the church. and endeav-
ors 10 equip men and women "a,
larger helpfulness.

Future to Be Topic.
The future of the architect and the
progress of the building industry will
be considered by delegates from the
institutes 66 chapters in all parts Of
the country. Cooperation of archi-
tects. builders, bankers and labor will
be stressed as essential to the return of
prosperity and to stable conditions in
the construction field.
Allied organizations, including the
Producers Council, whose members
represent manufacturers of building
materials with an aggregate capital of
$22. 500 000,0 900, also will hold sessions
during the convention period.
The difficult economic situation of
the past year and the immediate and
depressing effect Of that situation upon
the profession of architecture" the an
nouncement said, have suggested the
main tasks of the convention.
Industry Looks to U. S.
For one thing, the building industry
has looked to the public works program
