Some 235 Texas A&M freshmen who departed
Saturday for a three-day orientation camp were told
to expect “some strange and wonderful things”
during their four years at Aggieland.
The prediction was made by Edwin H. Cooper,
assistant to Texas A&M President Dr. Jack K.
Williams, during brief campus ceremonies before the
students boarded buses for Lakeview Methodist
Assembly near Palestine.
Sponsored by Texas A&M’s Student “Y”
Association, the special camp for freshmen is design
ed to provide a head start in the transition from high
school to college. The program includes informal
discussions led by members of the university’s fac
ulty-staff and local businessmen.
Cooper told the group to expect large numbers
of faculty-staff and students who “are behind the
times—they have old-fashioned sentiment for things
like decency, human dignity, loyalty, pride, honor
and respect for fellow man.”
The entering freshmen, who begin classes Aug.
30, were told they will be besieged with leadership
opportunities involving the more than 300 student
organizations on campus.
“You will be encouraged by staff and student
friends alike to become involved in the life beyond
the classroom,” Cooper noted, “and this is a major
factor in development of the ‘can do’ Aggie Spirit
which will live with you forever, and which will set
you apart.
“You will be exposed to unique traditions,” he
added, “which will find you standing at football
games, yelling at midnight, speaking to perfect
strangers and standing quietly with your friends late
at night paying tribute to a departed Aggie whom you
probably didn’t know.”
The freshmen, including nearly 100 coeds, were
accompanied to camp by 112 upperclassmen serving
as counselors.
The group returned Tuesday to begin pre
school programs for the Corps of Cadets, civilian and
women students.
