Freshmen Learn
Of Aggie Spirit
Texas A&M, of which you, a freshman, will be soon
a part, has long been known for the galllant, fighting
spirit which Aggies always display.
You too will soon feel this spirit and will make it a
part of your daily life. It is this spirit that inspires all
A&M men with the feeling of unity and devotion to their
school.
It is a spirit gained through hard work and loyalty
to the school, and it attaches itself so firmly to men
of A&M that they carry it with them the rest of their
lives — once an Aggie, always an Aggie!
THE AGGIE SPIRIT helps to mold a man's char
acter. The things he does and the manner in which he
lives with his fellow students make a permanent impres
sion on him. As an individual, he works for the good
of A&M, and by his actions and influence, he aids others
to do the same.
The Aggies who have been here before you have been
responsible for preserving the best in our Aggie tradi
tions and you too will be responsible as you learn them,
to pass them on, untarnished.
The respect that you hold for being an Aggie and
the way you treat your fellow Aggies will be a reflection
of your AGGIE SPIRIT.
If you are a cadet, the respect and pride which goes
with the wearing of your uniform is of prime importance,
and your relations with your fellow Aggies are just as
important.
Your honor and integrity as an Aggie must remain
inviolate; for there are others who depend upon you,
but most of all you have your own self-respect to main
tain. Hypocrisy, shame, and false pretense have no place
at A&M, where devotion is an ideal.
As you gain a knowledge of the traditions of A&M,
you will become increasingly a part of it and learn its
greater meaning. You will feel that you are a part of some
thing greater and larger than yourself, something noble
and moving.
At the end of your college life, if you have followed
through well, you will be happy for two reasons: for the
part you have played in making Texas A&M better and
for the enrichment that the fine campus has given your
life.
