Welcome To
The Freshmen
(By ALBERT SPRUILL,  '48)
So you are coming to A. & T.
huh? Well, I don't think you
have such a bad idea in the back
of your head. A. & T. is alright
with me and I suppose it is with
over a thousand other boys and
girls who were enrolled here
this past year. I should like
first of all to remind you that
A. & T. is no paradise. It is
an institution of higher learning, and you must keep this in
mind   when  you   come   here.
To those of you who plan to
enter college here I should like
to take this space to send you
greetings from the student
body and faculty of A.. & T. College. Yes, the school of higher
learning wishes very much to
have you a part of them in order
that   it   may   be   better.
It was my duty to write along
with a welcome greeting a word
of acquaintance and I shall attempt to do so in the next few
lines.
In view of the fact that the
history, etc., will come out in
the college bulletin I shall discuss extra curricular activities,
only.
Extra curricular activities
are definitely a part of one's
education and itcertainly means
a lot to be able to take in at
least one while  on the  campus.
The Agricultural and Technical College offers numerous
extracurricular activities during
the school year. These include
Sunday school, dohating saciety,
athletics, various clubs in one's
particular field and fraternities
and   sororities.
At A. & T. you have yeor
chance to major in whatever
field yuo choose and you can
be confident that you will get
the very best instruction.. If
you are achemistry prospect you
will probably be interested introduced to the chemistry wizard, Dr. M. B. Towns or if you
are an animal lover you may
have a chance to meet Dr. W.
Kennedy, or if you like art Mr.
Taylor will be glad to greet you.
You will be assigned anadvisor
problems are difficult. The people here are just like the ones
you have at home, therefore you
have nothing to do but relax
and made yourself at home here.
If by and chance you come to
A. & T. and you don't find it
here as you expect it to be remember one thing "Life is what
you make it." You can make
life obey you. Again I wish to
welcome you to A. & T. The
best  in  the  South.

Staff Discusses
Standards
At its regular meeting on
June 19th, the members of the
teaching staff confronted themselves with the important question "How can we generate
teaching power in students who
plan  to teach"?
. This question aroused general interest on the part of all
present with many taking part
in the discussion, which developed around the three major
factors in every learning situation—personality of the teacher
propriety of the method and
sufficiency of the subject matter.
Although reflecting quite
clearly the traditional and progressive schools of thought the
teachers were not content to
end the meeting in a fruitless
debate but decided to formulate
a statement of principles which
should guide every teacher
whether in school or college.
According to the decissions of
that August body, in order for
a teacher to inspire, stimulate
and encourage students to put
forth their best efforts continuously over a period of time,
he or she should observe these
rules:
1. Understand the laws according to which children learn.
2. Keep in mind the necessity
of superior  teaching.
3. Realize the importance
and meaning of each day's
teaching.
4. Require intensive concentration   on   subject   matter.
5. Do wide professional reading.
6. Maintain high ideals for,
and cooperative attitudes toward students, and the teaching
profession.
7. Understand the psychological  background  of students.
8. Maintain enthusiasm for
teaching.
9. Make subject matter practical and meaningful to students.
10. Evaluate  critically his  or

Fall Term
BeginsSept.18
The school year 19 45-46 will
begin on Tuesday, September 18,
with the registration of Freshmen and former students, September 20. From present indications the number of incoming
freshmen will be larger than the
record breaking class of last
year. There wil lbe a large number of new teachers added to the
staff.
Incoming
Freshmen
It was learned today that up
to July 31st, The Registrar has
received 601 applications for admission to college. The girls lead
two to one.. So we see there still
will be a man shortage on the
campus the insuing school term,
but, girls, don't let this discourage you. We are sure all
will enjoy a successful school
year.
Being an upper classman I'm
sure you will find your stay a
pleasant one. The subjects are
easy, if you apply yourself. The
teachers are very considerate.
The student body as a whole is
very friendly and will help you
in every way they can. So until
we see you. I bid you adieu.
