Here at Aggieland, the old “col
lege” has been dropping away
right and left and is being quick
ly replaced by the more distinguish
ed title of “university.” Although
a few of these changes are major
operations, the majority are re
latively minor.
New aluminum letters have sup
plemented the old letters in the
recent change of the name on the
monuments at East Gate from
“A&M College of Texas” to
“Texas A&M University.” Costs
were defrayed by making use of
the old letters in the new name.
The matter of changing the let
ters on the smokestack has been
discussed, but no definite plans
have been made as yet. Nothing
will be done to the old landmark
until demolition of its sister stack
is completed and a low, modern
smoke stack and will probably have
The letters are sunken in the
smoketsack and will probably have
to be filled in with concrete and
then reworked.
“THE COLLEGE seal enlaid in
the floor inside the entrance of both
the System Administration and
Richard Coke Building will not be
changed. There is too much his
torical and sentimental value in
volved to permit a change,” Tom
D. Cherry, director of business
affairs.
After studying several designs
submitted by artists, the executive
committee chose a new seal and
a letterhead which is now in use
on all university stationery.
A new inscription will be print
ed on the water tower sometime
this winter. This will very likely
be done during the Christmas holi
days when there will be less de
mand for the water. The tower
will be drained and then receive
fresh coats of paint inside and out.

“Texas A&M University” will be
painted on two sides.
SAMPLE DECALS are presently
being tested by the Department
of Building and Utilities. Upon
selection of a serviceable decal, the
doors of B. & U. vehicles, and offi
cial cars of the university will re
ceive new decals which will have
the university title.
Cherry noted that the overall
cost of making these changes has
not amounted to much.
“We are changing things, for the
most part, as we would have nor
mally done in the course of mak
ing the usual repairs,” said Cherry.
“We have had no loss in mer
chandise due to the name change,”
said Carl Birdwell, Exchange Store
manager. “Everything concern
ing the change has been very
smooth.”
Due to the name change coming
late in the year, shoulder patches
and collar brass for the Corps
were not changed for this school
year. The change to “AMU” will
probably be made by next fall.
“ALL NEW merchandise we are
now receiving has the new seal
and university title, however, there
is a possibility that former stu
dents will still prefer articles with
A&M College of Texas inscribed
upon them.
“If this is so, we will meet the
demand.”
Sentimentalists now ordering
their class rings can still have
“college” inscribed on them, al
though “university” is now avail
able for those that prefer the newer
In addition to the usual prob
lems associated with a name change
of a large institution, some people
still seem to be confused as whe
ther or not to pust periods after
the “A” and “M” in the new name.
To clarify the matter, there should
be no periods for “A&M” stands
for nothing.
