These maroon and white mon
strosities have not always been un

been maroon and white.
THEIR HISTORIES at A&M be
gan in the fall semester of 1947
when five grand new yellow buses
were bought by the college and
dumped into the lap of the Dean
of Men quite unexpectedly, accord
ing to a Housing office official.
In 1947 all freshman were housed
and taught at Bryan Air Force
Base, then called the annex.
HOWEVER, they needed some
means to get back and forth to
the main campus for yell practices,
football games, Town Hall and
other form of recreation. Solving
this transportation problem was
the purpose of the buses.
The buses arrival was quite un
expected and perplexing to the
Dean of Men’s office.
“They just rolled ‘em in,” said
the official. “We didn’t know
where they came from or anything.
For About four or five days we
didn’t know what to do with them.
We were operating them, buying
gas and all, but didn’t even have
a specific place to park them.”
History Profs Book Receives
Award From Texas Institute
Dr. Joseph M. Nance has been
honored as author of the book
making the most significant con
tribution to knowledge. “After
San Jacinto,” the first of three
volumes telling of frontier rela
tions between the Republic of Tex
as and Mexico won the Friends
of the Dallas Public Library $500
award presented at the recent
awards banquet of the Texas In
stitute of Letters.
Nance heads the Department of
History and Government and has
been a faculty member since 1941.
He was one of 10 new members
elected to join some 120 other
members of the Institute, an
elective organization of writers,
editors and publishers, all with a
Texas identity.
Featured speaker for the awards
banquet in Dallas was Frank Do-
bie, Texas folklorist and author.
The honor received by Nance
was the second given for “After
San Jacinto.” In October it was
named at the fifteenth annual
Writers Roundup at Austin as the
outstanding book in Texas history
published in 1963.
The second volume of Nance’s
trilogy is scheduled for publica
tion within a few months by the
University of Texas Press, and
the third volume will carry the

annexation of Texas to the United
States.
The Texas Institute of Letters
was formed in 1936 to sponsor and
encourage writing within the state,
but today is broader in its con

“The Institute would hardly now
advocate a writer or a book solely
on geographic accidence—or in
cidence.”
