Forty-one students, men and wcg
men, received degrees here in com­mencement
exercises, marking the
close of Auburn's fourteenth sum­mer
session, as well sis the close of
their college careers.
Dr. E. C. Branson, of the Univer­sity
of Noith Carolina delivered the
graduating . ddie.is. After the noted
educator hud closed his remarks Dr.
Zebulon Judd, 1'resident of the Au­burn
Summer School presented the
graduates to Dr. Spright Dowell who
delivered them their diplomas.
Statistics compiled by B. L, Shi,
Registrar of the Alabama Polytech­nic
Institute showed that six hundred
and eighty-two students were regis­tered
during the first six week's term
while an even six hundred attended
the last session, making a grand to­tal
of twelve hundred and eighty-two
for the two terms. Of this num
ber one hundred and seventy-nine
men and women were graduates of
normal schools and colleges.
Georgia Wagner, Director of Sum­mer
School in Music and Supervisor
of Music in Montgomery city schools,
had charge of the musical program
which was thoroughly enjoyed by an
appreciative audience. /
The fact that one hundred and
twenty-six students were pursuing
graduate work is a record unsur­passed
in the history of summer
schools in the South. Also the large
number of married men and women
doi g college credit work who are
:.. , teachiu.c, in ~ w'-o loaning nigJS
sc-'iols of the state is considered
quite a unique record.
Members of the faculty expressed
the general opinion that the work as
a whole was characterized by serious
effort on the part of the students.
One of the mcst enjoyable features
of the summer schools weer the spe­cial
convocation exercises held twice
a week in Langdon Hall. Among the
most distinguished speakers were
Professor B. W. Hodges, of the State
Department of Education; J. B. Hob-dy,
Director of, Vocational Education
in Alabama; Dr. W. H. McCall, Pro­fessor
of Education at Columbia
University; Dr. George £. Mitchell,
Johns Hopkins University} Dr. E. S.
Branson, University of Nirth Caro­lina
and Mrs. Lane, Stafc Regent,
D. A. R.
Several special programs were ob­served,
the most noteworthy being
the formal opening of the^Opelika-
Auburn Highway and Flag lay. At
the former several distinguished
speakers were heard, among them
being Dr. Spright Dowell, Resident
of Auburn; G. N. Mitcham, City En­gineer
of Columbus, Ga.; iMayors

To Prospective Freshmen:
Freshman Week was inaugurated at the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute one year ago in the interest of those who are
making the transition from high school to college. In addition
to the traditional warm welcome for which Auburn is so fav­orably
known, we desire to hold out the friendly hand of
courtesy and helpfulness.
By authority of the Board of Trustees and by action of
the faculty, you will report on Thursday, September 9th. The
most sympathetic effort will be made to have you feel at
home and to enable you to adjust yourself to the new life
in college. Your first year will have much to do with your
entire college career and your first days will go a long way
toward determining the success of your first year.
You are invited and expected to be present and to co-op­erate
with us in making your admission to the distinguished
Auburn family all that your parents and friends could desire.
Sincerely yours,
Spright Dowell,
President.

the campus of our colleges was blast­ed
last week at Auburn when a fifty-three
year old woman, mother of
five children, and grand-mother of
two, received the degree of Bachelor
of Science.
There were 41 men and women
listed as candidates for degrees at
the graudating exercises of the sum­mer
schoo) this week at the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. There were
Roberts, Jimmies, Theodores, and
Claras, and among the names, Kate
Richards Curtis—the latter, to the
majority of the members comprising
that audience in Langdon Hall, "just
one of the graduates."
And ye<;, back of that culminating
act when Kate Richards Curtis re­ceived
from President Dowell the
coveted sheepskin, what a story of
sacrifice and determination, grit if
you please!
Kate Richards Curtis, out of high
school for '36 years, on the darkest
side of the half century mark, and
left a widow with five children, never
lost sight of her great ambition, the
attainment of a college degree, and
through this a permanent place in the
"sun" of achievement.
Mrs. Curtis, widow of the late Dr.
J. F. Curtis, was born and reared in
Jefferson county, Alabama. She at­tended
the McAdory Academy at Mc-
Calla, finishing there in 1890. She
taught two years and then she mar­ried
Mr. Curtis and became a "home-maker,"
as she termed it.
There were five children, four of
whom are college graduates; three of
them, incidentally, are graduates of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
Frank, of the class of '12; Harry, of
the class of '24; and Miriam, of the
class of '25. Wyman finished at
Texas A. & M. College.
Mrs. Curtis was in classes with
two of her children, Harry and Mir­iam
in '24 and '25 at Auburn. As
she pointed out, three members of
her family, including herself, have
received college diplomas n the last
three years. Harry, now wth the

Smith Hall, the girls dormitory, the
Stodghill home in Auburn, has been
acquired by the college through the
efforts of Dr. Spright Dowell, presi­dent
of Auburn. The young women
who have already registered come
from several states other than Ala­bama.
All regular members of the fac­ulty

Miss Henrietta Thompson, assistant
professor of home economics, who
has been on the extension staff at
Winthrop College, S. C, during the
summer; Dr. George Burton, asso­ciate
professor of home economics,
who will teach nutrition; and Miss
Dana Gatchell, who will continue in
charge of foods and home manage­ment
at the practice house. Miss
Gatchell has been doing some work
in Minnesota during the summer.
Miss Zoe Dobbs will also return as
social director.
Miss Harris also announced that

STUDENT SHOPS
EXPAND ON LARGE
SCALE IN AUBURN
Many things have happened this
summer. Probably the new men will
not realize what has been accomplish­ed
in the fairest village of the plains,
but the change will be at once evident
to the old men. returning.
One of the most extensive expan­sions
has been The Student Shops
Inc. This business is run for the
greater part by students. It began
two years ago with a small electrical
and Radio bilsiness and has now
grown to include three stores.
The College Cafe is one of these.
There have been many improvements
made in the Cafe and it is hoped that
much better service will be given this
year than ever before. The menues
for the meals have been planned by
Miss Dana Gatchell, one of the lead­ing
food specialists of the country,
and it is hoped that these menues will
suit the tastes of all.
The Electrical Shop has not yet ap­peared
but representatives of the firm
report that they are equipped to .take
care of all electrical business. A
new store for electrical appliances is
to be opened in the near future.
The greatest improvement is to be
noted in the Student Supply Shop.
The store has been entirely renovated
by the Georgia Show Case Co., and is
truly a credit to the town of Auburn.
An electrically cooled soda fountain
of the latest makeAas been installed.
The policy of the store seems to be
to aid the student in all possible ways.
This policy is to be commended and it
is hoped that the students will take

CELEBRATION OF NEW
HIGHWAY OPENING
HELD ON JULY FIFTH
Thousands of visitors from Georgia
as well as Alabama assembled in
the Village o fthe Plains on July 5
for the monster celebration marking
the formal opening of the new con­crete
highway between Opelika and
Auburn, one of the connecting links
of the Montgomery-Atlanta highway.
The festivities began in the morning
with a speaking program in historic
old Langdon Hall, followed by the
formation of the parade of more
than 500 cars and floats for the
trek over the new highway to Opelika
and thence to Lake Condy, where
aquatic events and a barbecue added
variety to the program.
Citizens of Auburn and Opelika
united to make the day perhaps the
most momentous in the long history
of this section. The new highway
is regarded as one of the most im­portant
projects of this kind in the
state, of the growing importance
of Opelika as an industrial center
and the importance of Auburn, seat
of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute,
as an educational center.
Speakers, including Dr. Dowell,
president of Auburn, as well as May­ors
Yarbrough and Dickinson, of Au­burn
and Opelika, respectively, em­phasizing
this point. Other speakers
were Leland Henderson, of the Flor­ida
Short Route Association, and G.
N. Mitcham, city engineer of Colum­bus,
.Georgia. Judge S. L. Brewer
of Opelika, presided.
The parade was one of the most
spectacular displays ever seen in this
section. Scores of bsautiful floats,
gaily decorated with the colors, were
included. Among the units repres­ented
in the parade were the Auburn
and Opelika bands, the junior cham­ber
and the chambers of commerce
of both Opelika #nd Auburn, as well
as Rotary and Kiwanis clubs of Opeli­ka
and Lions club of Auburn.
The road which was badly in need
of repairs has at last become a beau­tiful
and smooth highway which will
be a suitable monument to those
whose efforts made their dreams
come true. It is the hope of the cit­izens
of both towns that the excellent
condition of the stretch will not in­duce
too many speeders to test their
cars on its smooth surface and imperil
the lives of pedestrians and other
motorists.

BANKING FACILITIES
FOR STUDENTS
The Bank of Auburn and the First
National Bank have arranged special
banking facilities for College Stu­dents.
Please request your parents or
guardian to send you money by New
York, Birmingham, or Atlanta Ex­change.
You will save time a\ d
trouble in getting proper endorse­ments,
since no endorsement is re­quired'
on that kind of check, and no
exchange will be charged. When you
receive the check, take it directly to
the Bank of your preference, and buy
a book of "PRE-CERTIFIED" checks.
They are printed in convenient form
and most usable denominations. Any
merchant, boarfding house keeper, or
Bank (anywhere) will accept these
checks at face value (without charg­ing
exchange) and without endorse­ment
other than your own fac-simile
signature.
Checking accounts will be opened
with minimum of $100.00 deposit.
A service charge of 50 cents per
month will be made when the account
falls below $50.00.
A fee of 10 cents exchange will be
charged on every out-of-town regular
form check, whether cashed or left
for deposit. AND every check of this
type MUST bear a reliable endorse­ment
before it can be accepted. NO
BANK in Eest Alabama will cash your
home-town checks without proper en­dorsements.
The Auburn banks" will take pleas­ure
in serving you in many ways if
you will co-operate by arranging to
have your money sent in the form
suggested above. IT COSTS NOTH­ING
TO TRY IT. We shall be glad
to explain anything you may wish
to ask about banking arrangements
or other financial matters.
WE WISH TO EXTEND TO EACH

AND BEST WISHES FOR A MOST

COLLEGE IS ISSUED
R.O.T.C. UNIFORMS
The government issues to the col­lege,
for the use of the students, in
R, O. T. C. uniforms which the col­lege
loans to the individual stu­dent.
The amount of clothing issued
is fixed by the government, and is
based on the wear the uniforms
should receive while being worn at
four drills a week. If the uniform
is used for laboratory work or other
purposes not contemplated by War
Department, it will not present cred­itable
appearance. When it is worn
out additional clothing will not be
issued as one of the conditions of
the' contract will have been vio­lated.
The following articles of clothing
are issued to each freshman:
2 shirts, wool, O. D.
1 tie, black.
1 cap and cap ornament.
2 bassars*
1 belt, waist.
1 breeches, wool, O. D.
1 leggins, spiral, wool, pair.
The government retains title to
this uniform and if any article is
lost or worn out through unauthor­ized
use, the article must be paid for
by the student. At the end of the
Freshman year this uniform is
turned in at the Supply Room and
during the summer is cleaned and
pressed. At the beginning of the
Sophomore year it is reissued to the
•ef-teeach^s.—
same man together with a new pair
of breeches.
A bond covering the value of cloth­ing
and Government equipment is
given to each student to be signed
by his father, mother or guardian.
No clothing or equipment is issued
until this bond is filed in the Supply
Room.
The Supply Room is located in the
North end of the Main Building,!
first floor. Times for drawing uni­forms
will be announced later..
The Military Department uses for
text books, the Training Regula­tions
published by the War Depart­ment.
Each phase of training is
covered by loose leaf pamphlets that
cost from five to twenty-five cents
dependent upon the size. To hold
these pamphlets together and to
protect them, a binder is sold at the
price of $2.25. This binder is pur­chased
at the beginning of the f.-esh-man
year, together with a group of
Training Regulations which vary with
the unit in which the student is.en­rolled.
During the Sophomore, Jun­ior
and Senior years, more are ad­ded
with the result that the text
books for the four years of training
only cost about four dollars.
FRATERNITIES AND
SORORITIES HERE
The Greek letter Franernity Sys­tem,
which exists only in American
colleges and universities, marks its
beginning in the organization of the
Phi Beta Kappa Society (now honor­ary)
at William and Mary''College in
the year 1776.
Many of the new men will be asked
to join a fraternity at some time du­ring
their first year. As this is one
of the most important steps a man
takes is the befinning of his college
career it should be taken with mature
consideration. In joining a frater­nity
you are choosing your most in­timate
associates for the next four
years. Several factors should be tak­en
into consideration, chief among
which are: general standing of the
national organization, program of
and stand taken by the local chapter
in college life, and the expense in­volved.
If you receive a bid take
several days to consider it with the
above points in mind.

GREETINGS, FRESHMEN!
We, the Plainsman Staff, take this op­portunity
to extend to the. incoming
freshmen our most sincere welcome. It
is our desire that in the ensuing year we
may be able to render such service as
will aid in drawing them closer into the
great Auburn fellowship. In just what
form this may be rendered is to a large
extent for them to decide. Suffice to say
that, each member of the staff stands
ready to, help them in any way possible
and invites them to ask his assistance at
any time.
It is essential to the welfare of the pub­lication
that the freshmen realize that the
Plainsman is their paper, that it is op­erated
as a medium through which their
ideas and activities may be translated to
the outside world/ We must supply the
initiative; it is for them to furnish the
momentum and the sustaining force.
In this editorial column from time to
time "111 appear articles with the purport
of which you wilr not be in sympathy.
There will be ideas presented here which
may clash sharply with those which you
have formed concerr|ng the issue involved.
We do not ask you to always agree with
us. If you should never vary in your op­inions
from our own immature ones the
purpose of this page will have been de­feated.
It would denote a lack of thought
on your part.
We welcome your opinions on any theme
of college life. If you wish to point with
pride tojany accomplishment of your class
we invite your attention to the columns
of this p|aper. Or should you wish to view
with scorn any event that has taken place
the same means are at your service. From
time to rime there will appear on this page
a column headed: "Letters to the Editor."
We shall gladly print your contributions
there PROVIDED THEY ARE SIGNED.
And last, but far from least, the oppor­tunity
for a distinct sight of the long-suf­fering
seniors will be granted you. Woe
be unto you of your number who refuses
to pay homage to these favored of the
gods. It is not for you to remind them
that they mistake their arrogance for
wontde pride. It is decreed that you must
respect, reverence and worship these
mighty ones. Of all the virtues freshmen
have, the most profitable one is obedience.
When the village is in the possession of
the upper classmen you will cease to be
known as new- students. Indeed you will
be desigi.ated by the loathsome appelation,
"Rats." Remember, the way of the trans­gressor
is hard. You are given the privi­leges
of lying and running by your liberal
minded masters, but time alone will show
you that these avail you nothing.
All the above conglomeration of non­sense
is to be taken for what it is worth,
but we assure you that it is a suitable in­troduction
to college life.
THE AUBURN SPIRIT
Much will be said during your early days
at Auburn concerning the Auburn spirit.
Many attempts will be made to analyse
it before you. It will serve as the theme
for many of the addresses you will hear.
You will be asked to accept it as a part
of your philosophy of life. You will form
habits by its pattern which will cling with
you throughout the span of your earthly
existance. There are many false pat­terns
in the lot. Which is the right one?
In other words, what is the Auburn
Spirit? —
We are n^ot so presumptious as to think
that you will accept our definition (if
it may be thus designated), discarding all
others. We find it difficult to convey our
impressions of such an abstract ideal.
After all it is for you to interpret the
Auburn Spirit in terms that you can un­derstand
and live by. We shall merely
give you our conception of this spirit, this
pattern.
The Auburn Spirit may be briefly
summed up in the all inclusive term,
love. It is for you to discover the ingre­dients
of that mysterious compound
called by the Ma'ster the greatest of all
virtues. One would immediately think of
the democratic quality of love. We are
proud of the democratic spirit on j>ur
campus. We rejoice in the great brother­hood
of Auburn men, the heritage of the
ages. We rever this spirit then because
of the equality it creates within our own
ranks.
The element of service, we believe,
actuated those heroic Auburn men who
fought and bled in the great World War
that humanity might not perish from the
earth. It has inspired her graduates to
go put into the world and improve the
living conditions of our people. It has
served to secure a closer cooperation
wherever it has been encountered.
Loyalty must be given its just due.
Loyalty to ideals, to countny, to state, to
parents, to school, to each other and to the
church.
Whatever its constituents, the Auburn
Spirit becomes a dynamic force in the life
of everyone who comes into contact with
it. As we pass along the road highway
of life we encounter numerous adventures.
Some are productive of modest successes.
Others result in bitter defeats. But ever
this spirit will attend us, offering us aid
and consolation. It holds out to us eter­nal
hope. Hope of what? Hope of at­taining
the goal we have set for ourselves.
This hope will furnish the balance wheel
of our life. To those of you who now
stand upon the threshold of your cclleg-iate
careers, permit us to recommend the
Auburn Spirit.
FRATERNITIES
What is a fraternity and what is its
purpose? How many tirrves that question
has been propounded by freshmen who
really wish to seek information. They
have often asked rather indelicate ques­tions
in their quest for knowledge on the
question. There could be no more suit­able
introduction to a consideration of the
subject than to impress upon strangers to
fraternity life on our campus the utter
absence of friction between the fraternity
and non-fraternity men in Auburn. There
is no sharp line of distinction separating
the two. Some boys do not belong to
them from their own choice or that of
their parents. Some have not had friends
among fraternity men at home and thus
have not been recommended. Whether
you come to wear a pin or do not will
neither- make you popular nor unpopular
among your classmates.
You have probaly heard of bids to fra­ternities
and may be perplexed as to the
meaning of the term. It is nothing more
than an invitation to become a pledge or
a prospective member of that organization.
According to the custom prevailing hereto
on the campus these bids are always oral.
In other words you may be asked by a
member of one of the fraternities to join
his bunch. You will then express your
wish to do so by accepting and wearing a
small button known as a pledge pin. The
rushing or campaigning for new members
in Auburn is open which means that there
is no set time within which new men may
be sought and pledged.
If you should get more than one bid
think the matter over carefully before you
reach your decision. The college careers
of many boys have been irrparably ruined
by too hasty decisions. The old adage may
be truthfully construed in the terms:
pledge in haste; repent at leisure. Sev­eral
things are to be taken into consid­eration
in making such a choice. One
must decide, for instance whether or not
he likes that particular bunch of boys.
He should remember that he will have to
be associated with them throughout the
remainder of his college days.' Nothing
could be more disagreeable than having
to live with people with whom one can not
be congenial. There may be boys in his
home town whom he likes very much and
whose fraternity he would like to join,
but that does riot alter the fact that this
particular chapter of their fraternity might
be composed of fellows who could have
nothing in common with him.
If you decide that you would like to
become a member of one of the frater­nities
that has tendered you a bid and
accept their pledge pin, do not retire into,
seclusion and seek only the society of your
fellow pledges. Remember that there are
several hundred other freshmen here who
have ideas you might acquire and above
all remember that one of the greatest ben­efits
you will derive from your college
education will be the association both with,
people and ideas you have formed here.
Far be it from the Plainsman to wish
to preach to you at this early date. We
merely offer you these few words of ad­vice
with the hope that together with your
common sense they may serve as guides
to lead you into pleasures you might
otherwise have missed. If this purpose
is accomplished we feel that we shall have
succeeded in our aim of rendering service.

you, little boy?

' BACK THE TEAM
Freshmen, you have chosen a college
rich in tradition. The name of Auburn is
richly emblazed on the gridirons of the
South. For years ner teams were uncon-quered.
She numbered her victims among
the greatest teams of the country. The
name of Auburn was synonymous with
victory. Then came a slump. The stu­dents
could hardly realize that mighty
Auburn was slipping from her throne.
When the fact was born upon them they
rallied nobly to turn defeat into success.
But it was useless. There had to be a let­up.
She could not stand the terrific
pace forever. The great war played hav­oc
with her ranks. Only since then has
Auburn risen to the heights and then on­ly
to have victory snatched from her
grasp at the last moment.
We have splendid visions of her once
more upon the throne of football suprem­acy
and we believe that we have a coach
who will lead us there. But we also have
a part to perform and a part which is very
important. We must encourage the team.
We must pull for them; fight for them.
They are not working under the broiling
sun out on Drake field for their personal
benefit. They are not getting a great
amount of pleasure out of bruises, sprains,
broken bones and varoius other bodily in­juries.
They are out there giving their
all that we might not be ashamed to tell
people that we are from Auburn, to point
with pride to that team out there battling
in the mud and say with pride, that's my
team.
Every man that's not out to every mass
meeting and not out on Drake Field ev­ery
time Coach Morey asks him to come
out is a slacker and should be branded
and shunned as such. He will not ask
you to cut classes and get out there on
the bleachers. He might even ask you to
stay away in order that he may have se­cret
practices. Whatever he requests of
you in behalf of the team, obey him in as
far as it is in your power to do so. That
is * your team out on Drake Field. Go
out there and let them know that you ap­preciate
the sacrifice they are making for
you. • Back that Team.
THAT OLD SPIRIT
Every year the same topic appears in the
editorial columns of this paper. Namely
the Auburn Spirit. It seems as though
that is the main thing that the freshmen
have to learn. Yet it is a curious thing
that Auburn men never tire of reading
about the Auburn Spirit.
Talking to you Freshmen now I want
to tell you a little joke. The joke is that
some day one of you may see this paper
again and laugh at the way we told you
about that Auburn Spirit. It will seem to
you then that we stressed that point and
hammered it into you when there was no
need to do so. Now why will you have
that reaction. For the simple reason that
when you read this editorial again you will
be so imbued with that spirit that is will
seem foolish to you that you could ever
have been without it.
That is quite a statement to make but
here is a little proof. The writer of this
article is an old man and was once a Fresh­man.
So by a matter of deduction it would
seem as though he would know how he
feels about it. It can truthfully be said
that the writer cannot conceive of the time
when he did not have the Auburn Spirit,
Nuff sed.
Now about that spirit. Just all about
that spirit and that spirit all about. I
want to ask you fellows why it is that
Auburn is as well known as it is through­out
this whole section of the country when
there are many other schools that have a
lot more money at their disposal than we
have.
There was a football game once upon a
time, and sad to say Auburn lost. It was
in another town and it would be supposed
that we all walked back to the town with
long faces and sad looks. Did we? Not
on your life. The people that we met on
the way wanted to know how much we
beat them. Why? Simply because we
were1 yelling louder and in better spirits
than the winning team. This is mass
spirit.
There was another case where a boy
had a nice job all sewed up. He was a
nice little fellow but much to small to
play football or get into athletics at all.
He knew this and he also knew that there
was a fellow that was a crackerjack foot­ball
player that wanted to go here but
could not get a job. And do you know
that that little runt gave up his job to
the football playett And he did not say
anything about it either. He just told the
football man that he had a job for him
and turned over his job. That is the real
individual spirit. That is what we expect
of you.
I know it. You think that you have
inklings of that old spirit already and are
just dying to show it. But use your head
about the way you show it and then go
ahead and show it. There are a thousand
ways of doing it. And when it it all over
just laugh about how anxious you were
about trying to show that old spirit and
rest secure in the'knowledge that you are
so steeped in the spirit that it never will
wear off. They all do it.

SPORTS Tiger Grid Team Begins Practice Monday SPORTS
A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR
COACHES AND THEIR WORK
Coach "Dave" Morey began his
.first year at the helm of Tiger foot­ball
affairs when school opened last
year. Coach Morey came / k> the
Plains after having spent five years
at Middlebury, where he made an en­viable
record as a coach. He is also
head coach of baseball.
Coach Morey starred on Major
Cavanaugh's Dartmouth team and
won for himself an All-American
berth at a backfield position on Wal­ter
Camp's Ail-American selection.
During his five years at Middlebury
Coach Morey's teams have not been
defeated by teams from colleges of
the same rating as Middlebury, With
an enrollment of five hundred at the
northern institution- the new Tiger
mentor bucked the leading teams of
the east and come through with a
Lion's share of victories.
In 1924 his team with a backfield
averaging one hundred and forty
pounds tied the Mighty Harvard
team 6-6. His last season there the
Vermonters lead all eastern teams in
scoring with a total of two hundred
and thirty-one points. Middlebury
ran up a 74 to 6 victory over the
strong Trinity outfit and held Har­vard
to a 16-6 score.
Coach Morey was signed to assist
Knute Rockne at Notre Dame in 1920
but had the misfortune of breaking
his leg while playing baseball in the-
American Association. The follow­ing
season he took over the reigns at
Middlebury from which place he
came to Auburn.
Coach "Boozer" Pitts, assistant
football coach, began coaching Tiger
teams in 1920, as assistant to Coach
Mike Donahue. He filled this posi­tion
until 1923 when he filled the
place of head coach caused by the
resignation of Coach Donahue.
Coach Pitts' career began at Au­burn
in 19il, when he starred at the
pivot position for the following three
years and was picked for the AII-Southern
teams in 1913 and 1914.
His record has gone down in south­ern
football annals as one hard to
equal, and impossible to surpass.
In 1915-16 he served as head coach
Tech High School in Atlanta and foot­ball
coach also. It was here that his
coaching career began to take on
proportions as his teams won the
State Prep Championship two years
without tasting a single defeat.
He resigned his post at Tech Hi
and answered the call to the colors
in 1917. He was commissioned a
second lieutenant and assigned to
the 334th Field Artillery. He served
overseas with this organization and
made an enviable record as a soldier.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell, who will
have charge of the Orange and Blue
Track Teams, returns this year as
head coach. Coach Hutsell has been
connected with athletics at Auburn
since the fall of 1921.
Last year Co a c n Hutsall turned
out one of the greatest track teams
in the south. Since coming to Au­burn
he has succeeded in placing out
track teams in the ranks of the South­ern
Inter-Collegiate Association.
With wealth of material to pick
from this year Coach Hutsell gives
promise of developing a corps of
track men that will excel any in the
history of the institution.
Coach Hutsell is an Alumnus of
the University of Missouri, where he
starred on the cinder-paths.
Coach A. P. "Mike" Papke comes
to the village from Middlebury, where
he played at the quarterback post
under Coach Morey. He graduated
from Middlebury last fall and comes
with an excellent playing record. He
has been a mainstay on the Middle­bury
team for the four years 1921-
'22-'23, and '24. From the quarter­back
station Coach Papke heaved 61
passes out of 83 attempts.
In addition to his football activi­ties
he was captain and shortstop on
the Middlebury team. He was award­ed
four letters in baseball.
Coach Papke's home is in Milwau­kee,
Wisconsin.
Coach R. C. "Red" Brown "makes
i
his initial bow on the Plains this year
as head coach of Freshman football
and baseball. Coach Brown has the
distinction of being one of the few
men to win letters at both state in­stitutions,
The University of Ala­bama
and Auburn. He attended the
University of Alabama three years,
where he starred in baseball, football
and basketball. After leaving the
University Coach Brown coached ath­letics
at Ensley High School where
his team went into the final game to
decide the State Championship.
Coach Brown entered Auburn in
1919, and in 1920 won letters in the
three sports that he had starred in at
the Capstone. He graduated from
Auburn in 1921 and took charge of
athletics at Andalusia High School
turning out winning teams in base­ball
and football. From Andalusia
he went to Sidney Lanier, where his
team went through an undefeated
season.
"Slick" Moulton
is Added To Our
Coaching Staff
COACH DAVID MOREY
Spinks Arrives
at Plains Ready
for Coaching
Former Tiger Star to Make Debut
as Mentor This
Season
Leslie "Buck Spinks, assistant foot­ball
coach has reported, ready to
take up his duties as instructor this
year instead of playing the role of
combatant on the grid squad as in
past seasons.
It will be remembered that Spinks
finished a very brilliant football ca­reer
at the Plainsman camp last year,
playing the "heads up" hard hittiing
brand of football that has placed him
in the class of the best ends to play
on an Auburn Tiger eleven. With
his knowledge and experience of the
game he should be an excellent addi­tion
to the Morey coaching staff
While Coach Spinks received many
selections for all-Southern, the fact
that he did not play on teams of the
championship caliber, during his three
year of varsity football probably kept
him from being named on the myth­ical
eleven, for his last two years
when he was a shining light in Au­burn
football. . .
Spinks in addition to completing
his allotted three years of Southern
conference participation, also com­pleted
his training in civel engineer­ing
last spring. He hails from Thom-asville,
Alabama.
Spinks was the last member of the
football coaching staff to report to
Tiger stronghold after the summer va-catior,
season. The entire grid staff,
including Coaches Morey, Brown,
Pitts, Papke, Spinks, and Moulton are
now on the scene, and are busily en­gaged
in making detailed preparation
for the beginning of the practice
seanson.
it Rough Ed" Allen
on Scene Again
at Lovliest Village
Among the early arrivals of the
football contigent this week-end was
"Rough Ed" Allen, star haifback on
the Tiger elevens, for the seasons '23
and '24. The arival of Allen is
bolstering up the optimistic view of
the Auburn backfield. The loss of
Green, Crane and Williams, as half­backs
from last season has caused
much worry to the Auburn coaches
and supporters. Allen's experience
together with his speed and added
weight should help materially to form
a nucleus around whch to shape the
Tiger backfield.
Allen in addition to playing on the
football teams was a star third base­man
on the Tiger varsity baseball
squad. He failed to return to college
last season, but he is reporting this
fall bigger and better than ever. Ed
had his preparatory training at Mar­ion
Institute, and at Selma High, the
latter his home town.
INTRODUCING OUR VARSITY
FOOTBALL MEN, AUBURN
E. R. Moulton, known to his num­erous
friends and admirers among
Auburn men and Alumni as "Slick,"
will take over his duties as assistant
football coach on Morey's staff at
the initial practice Monday afternoon.
"Slick" has had considerable ex­perience
on the gridiron, both as a
competitor and as an instructor. He
received his college training at Au­burn
under the famous Mike Dona­hue
and was awarded a berth on the
All-Southern team of 1923.
One of the greatest ends to ever
wear the Orange and Blue, "Slick"
proved to be indispensable both on
the offense and the defense. Long
and rangy, he turned back many an
aspiring, goal maker who attempted
to circle his wing.
In addition to his work on the foot­ball
field, Moulton was a great pitcher
on a great Auburn team. After
completing/ a brilliant career with performances
the Tiger ball-tossers he was welcom-
' ed into the professional ranks, where
he made an enviable record.
The new coach is well equipped
for his new duties by reason of his
wide experience in the tutoring line
and his extensive knowledge of the
sport. Leaving school temporarily,
he spent the year '23-'24 as athletic
director at the U. S. Veteran's Train­ing
Post at Pascagoula, Miss., and
also served as football coach of the
Pascagoula High School. After re­turning
to Auburn, where he receiv­ed
his degree in Secondary Education
last May, Moulton Coached the Lee
County High School.
first
Captain "Seacow" Turner hails
from Montgomery, famous as a breed­ing
place of great Auburn athletes.
Paul, as he is known to his most in­timate
friends, has been a powerful
asset to the Tiger grid teams for
the past two years and this year
gives promise of bettering his past
CAPTAIN PAUL TURNER
Turner is one of the
hardest driving backs in the southern
Conference and is a tower of strength
on the defense. He has the qualities
of a great leader and Auburn's
chances this year are mighty bright
with "Seacow" at the wheel.
"Rough Ed" Allen needs no in­troduction
to Auburn men of more
than two year's standing who saw
this star halfback of the Tiger elev­ens
of '23 and '24 perform. Ed fail­ed
to return to school last year but
"Nappie" Hodges, Morey's initial
choice for quarterback position last
season is again on hand to assume
charge of the director^ post should
he be assigned to duty there. Hod­ges
is an especially cleverengineers
of trick plays and he will undoubtedly
see a good bit of service when the Ti­gers
take the field in the approach­ing
season. "Nappie" came to Au­burn
from the navy.
"Doug" Newsome heaved passes
from the halfback position in many
of the games of last season. A very
accurate passer he aided materially
in several of the Auburn victories at
that time. Columbus, Georgia claims
this youth as one of their citizens.
"Pop" Patterson occupied the pivot
position on the Auburn eleven last
fall until an injury forced him out of
the game for the rest of the season.
"Pop" is an experienced center and
a bulwark of strength on the defense
and is the last of the famous Patter­son's
who have had a lion's share of
upbuilding the great reputation of
Auburn. Montgomery is his home
town.
"Dizzy" Pruitt will probably hold
down a berth in the line this year
where he earned his reputation. "Diz­zy"
is a big man and should strength­en
the front wall this year. Long
and rangy he will doubtless fill in
one of the gaps caused by graduation.
Pruitt claims Hurtsboro as his home.
"Square Jaw" Salter will act as
he is reporting this fall in excellent \ alternate captain of the Orange and

The popular coach will take over

performed they have brought credit
to their Alma Mater.
Easkin's feat in finishing his race
after tripping over a hurdle and slid­ing
several yards has been described
by many of the sport scribes as the
high light of the National Track Meet
held in Chicago last June.
The Auburn lad was running close
second to Dye, the great hurdler from
the University of Southern California,
when he tripped over the eighth hur­dle

speed and experience should bolster
up the strength of the backfield con­siderably.
"Rough Ed" is a product
of Selma.
"Runt" Granger is another half­back
who will require a lot of watch­ing
this season. Runt is one of the
hardest hitting tacklers to ever don
an Orange and Blue uniform and de­spite,
his small stature is a|wonder at
battering the enemie's lines. The
diminutive back resides in Bessemer

Frank Tuxworth, although playing
his first year in a Tiger uniform

more than one hotly contested field.

Weems O. Baskin has been one of
the mainstays of the local track ag­gregation
for the past two years and
one of the greatest track and field
competitors the South has ever pro­duced.
Carrolton, Georgia, claims this wiz­ard
of the cinder path as one of her
greatest citizens.
At a meeting of the track team of
last spring Baskin was chosen to lead
the Orange and Blue cohorts this

of having the greatest season this

CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS AT
AUBURN
Auburn has many time-honored
customs and traditions which have
become firmly established in the ins­titution.
Some of the most out­standing
are given here.
"Everybody speaks on the campus."
The democratic spirit and feeling of
good fellowship which exists among
the students constitutes one of Au­burn's
most praiseworthy character­istics.
These are the fundamental
elements of the; Auburn Spirit.
The honor System is sacred to the
institution. Let no one dare violate
it, for he vjll soon learn that dishon-esety
is nto tolerated here, not even
in the mildest form.
Bo on the bleachers every day du­ring
the football seanson. The solid
support of the student body is nec­essary
to turn out a championship
team. Let all freshmen take heed
and get the habit of going to Drake
Field as regularly as the team does.
Mass meetings are held frequently
during the fall and an opportunity
is thereby given for the older students
to show their spirit and for the fresh­men
to get a touch of the real feel­ing.
Everybody be out and support
the team.
College nite is the fiifflt get-to­gether
meeting of the year. This
is when the old spirit is revived and
things are started off rightly. Every
The Young Women's Christian
Association is composed and governed
by Auburn women students. The Y.
W. C. Ar^is the instrument through
which a better spirit might be brought
about among the names, and the
greater realization of the importance
of putting the Christ life on the
campus. If you want some real
friends who will help you and some
good times to be had in no other way,
new girls join the YWCA. If you
appreciate the things done for you by
your "bis sister" and the party which
will be given for you the first month
of school, come to the YWCA meeting
and show that you think the work of
the YWCA is a good thing.
We welcome you back to Auburn
old girls. And we welcome you to
Auburn new girls. We want and
are expecting a hundred percent at­tendance
and cooperation from all the
girls this year. Then don't forget
to come to our meetings every Sun­day
afternoon at Two o'clock at the
Y.W. hut, next door to Smith Hall.
AUBURN ENGINEER
TO BE IMPROVED
The Auburn Engineer enters upon
the second year of its existence with
many improvements planned by W.
H. H. Putnam, editor of the 1926-'27
publication.
The improvements will be featured
by a new cover design and an in­crease
in the number of issues. In
place of the six published last year the
new staff is planning to get out
eight issues.
The Auburn Engineer is the offi­cial
publication of the Engineering
Department and is published by the
Engineering Societies. The articles
are prepared on such subjects as will
be interesting to the members of
this department by the students who
cooperate with Dean Wilmore the
faculty advisor.-
Subscriptions to xthis publication
will be taken at the regular regis­tration
of the new students, the
price for one year being one dollar.

student is there.
Stunt Nite affords a chance for
each organization of the campus to
evhibit its talent, real and burles­que,
before the student body. It is
a good chance to advertise a society
or club and is held early in the second
semester. Stunt Nite is sponsored
by the Y. M. C. A.
The All-College Hike is an annual
event managed and financed by the
Y. M. C. A. All the students and
faculty take part in a short hike, and
wit freak athletic contests, good eats,
etc., a genuine good time is the re­sult.
Three major dances are held at
Auburn during the scholastic year.
These are the Sophomore Hop in Oc­tober,
the Junior Prom in January,
and the Senior Dances at Commence­ment.
In addition, the *<A" Club and
other organisations give dances from
time to time.
Freshmen are required to wear
"Rat" caps at all times. Let all the
rats taoke notice and comply with
this rule.
Slang is in general use at Auburn
and in this respect it has a dialect
all its own. There are many expres­sions
which everybody uses and in
order to be understood the new stu­dent
has to learn them as soon as
possible.
One of Auburn's oldest customs
is "bull" sessions. These can be and
should be made to be really beneficial
and uplifting. Beware of the other
kind.
"To beat" means to leave the class
room in a group if the instructor
does not arrive by ten minutes after
the hour. This is the privilege which
the students have always taken unto
themselves. .
The Senior Class has the privilege
of putting its class numeral on the
town water tank, and it is regarded
as a disloyel act for anyone to defare
it in any way. On the father water
tank, the class which wins the cham­pionship
in class football has the right
to place its numeral.
Auburn 9Alumni have an annual
home-coming day at the time of the
big football game on the campus each
year. The students show them every
courtesy possible.
Memorial Day for the Confederate
dead is observed each year on April
26th. The'band and one of the cadet
companies participate.
April and May are the two months
for the banqueting season. Then
each organization that desires to do
so gives a banquet and elects officers
for the coming session. This custom
is becoming more universally adopted
and followed each year.
May 1st is an official holiday of
the college. The' May Day Festival
is very elaborate and the occasion
is one of genuine enjoyment.
Prizes and honors to students win­ning
them are awarded publicly du­ring
commencement. Competition
for them is keen and becoming keen­er
with each succeeding session.
Competitive drills both for the best
drilled company of the Infantry-En­gineer
regiment and for the best
drilled individual soldier are held each
year just before graduation.
The Festival of Lights is a custom
peculiar to the institution. ~lt is con­ducted
each year as a part of the
Y. M. C. A. WILL
GIVE INFORMATION
The Freshman is confronted, on his
arrival at college, with hundreds of
new and strange faces. His first
big task is to meet the other students
and .get acquainted with them. One
of the best ways for him to mix with
the campus leaders is the student
activity which the college affords
The literary society has always held
its place at the had of the list of
student societies. By means of the
literary society the new student can
learn to think and talk on his feet
in public, thus preparing himself for
leadership later in his college career.
In addition to this each student taking
part in literary society work is given
five extra quality points for the
year.
The Wilsonian offers you all the
above and more. You are cordially
invited to its first meeting. Come
and bring your friend with you so
that you can see what the literary
societies are doing.
Watch for a poster giving the
time and place of the first meeting.
Anyone who wishes any informa­tion
concerning rooms, board or such
information that may enable them
to become' accustomed to Auburn
ways may secure such at the Y.M.C.
A. office which is located beneath
Langdon Hall. The Y triangle will
serve as a guide to the quarters.
All freshmen are advised to make
use of the reading room and the
recreational features provided for
their benefit by^this organization.
Silence is one of the features of this
room and therefore it is useful as
a room for pursuing ones studies.
The large daily papers as well as
the latest - magazines are accessible
at all times of the day to anyone
who wishes to read them. The papers
are kept on racks in the reading room
and because of the large number of
students who avail themselves of this
opportunity it is necessary that these
periodicals be replaced as soon as
they have been read.
A Victrola is maintained together
with the latest song hits and classical
records. The same care must be ob­served
in replacing these records af­ter
they have been used. The Y.
M. C. A. undergoes this expense for
your benefit and it behooves you to
do your part in keeping them in a
condition that will render them use­ful
to all.

The Evans Literary Society extends
a most cordial welcome to all fresh­men
to come--out and enjoy their
program. It is necessary that new
men coming to college should identi­fy
themselves with an organization
of this nature and the earlier his
start the more benefit he will derive
from it.
Many of the students have the
peculiar idea that just because they
are taking an engineering course they
will have no need for the training
they would receive in a literary so­ciety.
The fallacy of this argument
may easily be noted when one stops
to consider that a college course in
engineering should fit him for an
executive position and not for a man­ual
laborer's job. As the head of a
large department he would necessa­rily
have to know how to convey his
ideas to his subordinate workers and
perchance to his board of directors.
One can readily see that clearness
of speech would be a great asset
there.
It is almost essential that those
students enrolled in the educational
courses and who expect to become
teachers eventually should be very
prompt in enrolling in a society for
the purpose of training one to be at
ease before an audience even if that
audience be a most critical one, his
own class for instance. The occasion
will arise many times during his pro­fessional
career when he will be call­ed
on to deliver impromptu speeches
The embarassment he will suffer on
occasions of this kind is needless to
describe. Training received in a lit­erary
society calculates to obliterate
a certain amount of audience-con­sciousness
on the part of the speaker.
Although the Evans is an infant
society and has not the experience of
the older societies in college it has
had sufficient instruction to warrant
itsk existence. Founded as a society
for exclusive freshman membership
it can appeal to the new students on
a common ground.
In addition to the features already
enumerated there is the free gift
of five quality points per year to
the members who comply with the
faculty requirements as set down by
the Executive Council.
The society meets every Monday
night on the second floor of the Main
Building. Come out and start the
year right by enrolling in the Evans
Literary Society.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2—Robert L.
Simpson, Jr., 24 years old, son of
R. L. Simpson, of 639 Peachtree, as­sistant
traffic manager of the South­ern
rairway company, died Saturday
morning in Milwaukee at a private
sanitarium, following an illness of
six weeks, according to advices re­ceived
here Saturday.
The body will be taken to Birm­ingham,
and funeral services were
held there this morning.
Mr. Simpson's illness had been a
puzzle to physicians for some time
after he was forced to bed, it was
said, and a consultation of several
prominent specialists filially resulted
in a diagnosis of sleeping sickness.
An operation on the young man's
brain and one on his spinal column
were performed in an attempt to
check the course of the disease.
Robert Simpson graduated from
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
with, honors in 1924. He went direct

The week of August 1-6 was set
aside as farmer's week at the College
4
of Agriculture, Auburn. The exer­cises
for the week included the an­nual
Summer School for farmers and
farm women, the annual meeting of
the Alabama Farm Bureau Federa­tion,
and the annual meeting of the
Alabama Pecan Growers Association.
The first meeting was a religious
service on Sunday night, August 1,
which included sacred music and a
discussion of religious subjects by
Dr. Spright Dowell, president, Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute. The farm
bureau meeting was held Monday
and Tuesday when farm economics
subjects were topics of . discussion.
Wednesday was crop and soils day;
Thursday, livestock; and Friday,
fruits and vegetables.
Each afternoon was devoted to
livestock judging and to visiting the
buildings and experimental grounds.
In the judging work Monday was de­voted
to poultry; Tuesday to swine;
Wednesday to dairy cattle; Thursday
to mules, and Friday to beef cattle
and sheep.
The annual meeting of the Ala­bama
Pecan Grower's Association
took place on Thursday, August 5.
Clifton Kilpatrick of Selma is presi­dent
of this body.
While these exercises were in pro­gress
for men, the farm women fol­lowed
their own program, arranged
especially for them by Miss Agnes
Ellen Harris, and state demonstration
agent, together with other members
of her staff.
A committee composed of Dr.
Spright Dowell, Prof. L. N. Duncan,
Labor Plays Large Part
in Forestry Industries,
Indicated in Reports
Labor is the greatest single ben­eficiary
of forestry, and the forest
industries, points out the Alabama
Commission of Forestry. Not on­ly
has the working man the usual
citizen's share in the general benefits
derived from the availability of
home building material and other
forest products, but he also has ano­ther
and even more direct interest
in the employment afforded by lum­bering
and naval stores operations
and in the wood using industries.
Out of each dollar received by the
lumber manufacturers for their out­put,
sixty cents is paid for labor in
logging and milling. Much of the
remaining forty cents also goes to
labor engaged in supplying the ma­terials
and facilities used in the op­erations.
The employment of labor does not
end with the placing of lumber on
the market, however, but continues
in the building trades using such ma­terial
and in many other wood us­ing
industries such as furniture fac­tories,
cooperage plants, the ve­hicle
industry, handle making, wood
chemical plants, box factories, pulp
mills, the rayon industry and a host
of other enterprises requiring for
their output the use of forest prod­ucts.
In many parts of the country
as in Alabama, the production of
timber and the manufacture of for­est
products employ more wage earn­ers
than any other industry.
Prof. M. J. Funchess and Dr. C. A.
Carey were in charge of the Farm­ers'
