Note: La Grange Boy Elected Member Ross Volunteers
College Station, Texas, October 18.

Egon Koehler of La Grange has been elected a member of the Ross Volunteers, honorary military organization at the A. & M. College of Texas, the most famous military unit in the South. It is composed of the crack military men in the cadet corps who have in addition to distinguishing themselves for their military efficiency in the first two years or three years of attendance, also have made records of high scholarship and displayed virtues of gentlemanly conduct in their student associations. The company was organized during the administration of former Governor Sullivan Ross, the first president of the College named in his honor, and is now maintained in commemoration of his name. It is perpetuated by adding to its membership at the beginning of each school year a number of juniors and seniors who have the best records of military, moral and scholastic competency. Students are elected to membership upon recommendation of [an] old member, and one dissenting vote by a single member is sufficient for rejection of his name, and this vote may be cast secretly without the name of the voter disclosed. So to be a member of this organization a student of the College must be considered a gentleman and a scholar, and command the respect of his associates. For this reason students accept membership in the Ross Volunteers as the greatest recognition that can be paid them by the student body. The organization exhibits in a single unique military drill every spring at commencement time all the skill that practice in puzzling and perplex-drills throughout the year gives to them, and they foster one social affair each spring, which is a three day round of festivities climaxed each day with a big dance. These dances are known all over the state as the most elaborate events of the kind. For these dances girls from elite society circles of the nation are brought here as the guests of the College. One of the dances is given to the entire cadet corps and each cadet brings his best girl for this affair. On the occasion of the annual drill and the night of the �R. V. Hop� which is the name given the biggest dance of the �R. V. period,� the Ross Volunteers wear the official dress of the company, which consists of snow white trousers, blouses, shoes and cap with gold cap insignia and gold shoulder straps. [La Grange Journal, Thursday, October 20, 1921]
