Celebration Postponed Kingsville, Dec. 29, 1924, Friends: Due to continued rains and inclement weather the committee in charge of the laying of the corner stone of the South Texas State Teachers College at Kingsville has decided to postpone those ceremonies to a date to be announced later, which date will not be later than February 14, 1924. Due notice of the date to be decided upon will be made through the press of the state and through your local paper. We hope that if you were ex pecting to be with us on January 3 you will find the date to be set will suit your convenience equally as well.

If you have found that you could not be here on the third, we hope you will find the date we shall announce later will pemit you to come to Kingsville, In either case we want to assure you that a warm welcome awaits you at the home of your college. This postponement does not in any way retard the construction of the building and we expect to open the institution next June with at least seven hundred students. Yours very truly, E. B. Erard Chm.
