For Men Only

Iowa's State College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts is coeducational. So are similar colleges of Michigan, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana. Oklahoma and many another State. But for more than 53 years A. & M. College of Texas near Bryan has matriculated only men. Its directors think women unfit for its courses and the careers to which they lead.

Neither the State Legislature in its charter nor Congress, in the Land Grant Act of 1862 by which the college was founded, specified that both sexes should be admitted. The college is distinct from Texas' State University, which is coeducational by statute. The State provides many another institution where girls may be educated.

For these reasons and for Texas A. & M.'s "great contribution in helping build and mold this great Southwestern empire," District Judge W. C. Davis in Bryan last week refused the application of a group of Bryan parents for a writ of mandamus compelling the college to admit their daughters.
