Good-bye to the Annex ...
Probably few tears were shed when the announcement
was made stating the lease on the Annex would expire at the
completion of the Spring semester.
In use for college instruction since 1946, the Bryan Army
Air Field was constructed by the army in 1942 as a tempor
ary air base to be occupied not longer than five years.
What use the army will have for the buildings as they
now are is difficult to conceive, but if our guess is right, they
will find little more tharf a stockpile of well-used lumber in
them.
The Annex was leased in 1946 by the college in order to
alleviate the temporary space shortage caused by the over
flow of veterans returning for college instruction.
As far as we know, the general consensus among the
freshmen now at the Annex is that moving all students back
on the main campus will be the best thing this college has
done since the establishment of the A&M Annex.
And so, come June 1 or close thereafter, the Annex Will
be only one of the many features which the college can add
to its list of stepping stones passed over toward a greater
A&M College.
