TARLETON
IN REVIEW
ONE YEAR AGO
The Wainwright Rifles became
antique collectoi-s. They did not
start a museum, but they started
using antiques.
The antiques, 1903 issue Spring-
field rifles, were used by the
Rifles in their drills and parades.
The price? A real bargain—on-
ly 60c apiece.. „ :
THREE YEARS AGO
Gov. Price Daniel presented the
pen he used in signing the Tarle-
ton Four Year Bill to President E.
J. Howell. The pen was presented
at the celebration banquet held
September 25.
More than 600 Tarleton well
wishers attended the banquet. Gov.
Daniel said that Tarleton State
College would never have been ap^
proved by the Legislature if it had
not been for the support given the
college by Stephenville over thy
past half century.
FIVE YEARS-AGO
Seventeen Tarleton State Col-
lege students were confined to the
college infirmary with influenza
according to hosptial personnel.
Eight of those hospitalized were
on the Plowboy football team.
When Syracuse first met Okla-
homa, the latter beat the Orange,
21-6, in the 1959 Orange Bowl.
everyone from freshmen to gradu-
ate students in general history
courses.
Dr. Born began work on his
doctorate at New Mexico State
University in September of 1958
where, aside from his studies, he
was also a teaching assistant in
western civilization and Ameri-
can History. Upon his graduation
in May of 1962, he was awarded
a Ph. D in history. His profession-
al affiliations at present are Phi
Alpha Theta, a honorary history
society, and the American Histori-
cal Association.
Although not an avid sports
fan, Dr. Born does enjoy games,
his favorite one being that of
controlling children. He is the
father of four (one daughter,
three sons) ranging in age from
eleven to three. If one sport can
be found, however, Dr. Born may
become an equestrian of note as
his children are anxious to own a
hourse. His principle pastime the
past two years was reading 18th
Century Vintage Records in pre-
paration for his dissertation, a re-
quirement for a Ph. D. He is also
pleased to be associated with such
a capable social science depart-
ment.
Mrs. Born
Mrs. Born, in addition to being
a mother and a housewife, is en-
rolled as a full-time student at
Tarleton. Majoring in- history and
carrying 16 hours, she is a mem-
ber of the junior class. Oddly
enough, one of the courses in
which she is now enrolled, Social
History of the United States, is
taught by her husband, Dr, Born.
As a matter of clarification, Dr.
Bom was born in the small com-
munity of Italy, Texas, located ap-
proximately 100 miles southeast
of Stephenville.
