Looking Back At 1966
A&M Sees Growth
The year 1966 was a period of
unparalled growth for Texas A&M
University. It was a year of
record enrollment, rise in aca
demic standing and expansion of
facilities.
It was also the year during
which Texas A&M, the state’s
oldest public institution of higher
learning, celebrated its 90th an
niversary. \
For the first time, A&M’s en
rollment exceeded 10,000. The
record 10,706 fall attendance rep
resented an increase of almost
1,200 over the same period in
1965. Included in these figures
are more than 2,000 graduate
students, also a new high.
Engineering students now ac
count for almost a third of the
university’s total enrollment and
surpass the number of agricul
tural students by nearly a two-
to-one ratio. Liberal arts students
now rank second in numbers, with
26 per cent of the enrollment,
followed by agriculture, with 18
per cent.
THE CURRENT freshman
class had a high school grade
average of 86.15 per cent, highest
ever recorded by the university.
Registrar H. L. Heaton noted that
nearly half the students ranked
in the top scholastic quarter of
their high school classes, whereas
only a third placed in that cate-
gory as recently as 1959.
During the past year, the uni
versity added several new fields
of study on both the undergradu
ate and post-graduate levels. Last
fall, for example, it became the
first school in the state—and one
of only a few in the entire na
tion—to offer undergraduate de
grees in nuclear engineering.
New Ph.D. programs have been
introduced in more than a dozen
fields, including education, busi
ness administration, biophysics,
English and aerospace engineer
ing.
LAST YEAR A&M also estab
lished the nation’s first institute
of tropical veterinary medicine.
The institute will study exotic
wildlife diseases and provide
graduate training in this special
ty, with emphasis placed on con
trol of diseases which affect the
world’s animal food supply.
The university continued in
creasing and upgrading its facul
ty with the addition of 80 new
members, bringing the current
total up to 634. The A&M faculty
now includes three members of
the renown National Academy of
Science.
A&M now has a total of 5,301
employees residing in the Bryan-
College Station area. Within six
months, it has added more than
250 personnel, which in terms of
purchasing power is the equiva
lent of bringing a large new in
dustry into the community.
THE SCHOOL’S total economic
impact on the community now ex
ceeds $38 million annually. Its
1966-67 payroll alone exceeds $20
million and another $1 million is
spent for supplies, services and
utilities.
Following the large enrollment
increase, the students currently
are contributing more than $14
million annually for such items
as groceries and room and board
(for married and graduate stu
dents), clothing, school supplies,
recreation and miscellaneous ex
penses.
Another $2.5 million was
pumped into the local economy
last year by the thousands of
persons who visited A&M for
football games and more than
175 meetings and other universi
ty-hosted activities.
NOWHERE HAS.. A&M’s
growth been more evident than in
its construction of new facilities.
It is currently engaged in a $25
million, building program to keep
pace v/ith progress.
The university recently opened
a new Space Research Center (in
cooperation with NASA), expand
ed its Data Processing Center
and will soon complete work on
the largest cyclotron, or “atom
smasher”, in the South.
Other major campus projects in
progress or ready for start of
construction include:
— A four-story addition to
Cushing Memorial Library,
allowing the university to in
crease its volume to one million
books, double that of its pres
ent capacity.
-- A FIVE-STORY addition
to the Biological Sciences
Building. The expansion will
include new radiation labora
tories and provide improved
facilities for research in bio
chemistry, microbiology and
marine-biology.
— Expansion of both the
Veterinary Medicine Science
Building and the Veterinary
Medicine Hospital.
— A new Services Building
to house the University In
formation and Publications De
partment, Agricultural Infor
mation Department and several
other agricultural activities.
— Enlargement of Kyle
Field, increasing the stadium’s
seating capacity from 39,000
to 54,000.
— Air-conditioning of 12
dormitories and several other
facilities, including Duncan
Dining Hall, G*. Rollie White
Coliseum, the Civil Engineer
ing Building and Geology
Building.
ANOTHER ON-CAMPUS proj
ect is construction of the nation’s
largest toxicology research facili
ty. This U. S. Department of
Agriculture facility will include
one main building and 12 smaller
structures which will comprise a
laboratory for research on pesti
cides and insects affecting live
stock.
In terms of students, person-
sel, programs and physical facili
ties— all part of the university’s
“Blueprint for Progress” — 1966
was a banner year for A&M.
Engineering Gets
Du Pont Grant
Summer research grants total
ing $4,400 have been awarded to
Texas A&M’s College of Engi
neering by the Du Pont Company.
Grants of $2,200 each were an
nounced by Du Pont for young
faculty members in chemical and
mechanical engineering. Recip
ients chosen by the respective de
partment heads will receive an
amount equal to two months of
their regular salary. The balance
supports their research.
