The Higgs mechanism is designed to generate mass for massless particles. The mass comes from the interaction of observed particles with an external field -- the Higgs field. In the past, several alternatives to the Higgs mechanism for mass generation have been proposed to avoid the postulation of the Higgs field. This article proposes yet another one. This alternative is distinctly different from the others because it considers mass generation through internal interactions of a particle rather than interactions with external fields. This requires particles to have an internal structure beyond intrinsic spin. A complete field theory of such composite particles is seen to be possible. Of course, if Higgs bosons are observed by experiment, there will be no need for any alternatives. On the other hand, if experiment fails to detect Higgs bosons, such alternate mechanisms for particle mass generation would be very useful.
