When the Academic Building was
built in 1914 on the site of Old Main
it dominated the campus’ main entr
ance, which then faced the railroad
tracks.
Since that time the University en
trance has shifted to the eastside, but
the old domed structure still remains
the symbol of academic life at Texas
A&M.
Its four floors have housed the of
fices of the president, the registrar,
commandant, the exchange store,
the library, architecture depart
ment, and now the departments of
philosophy and modern languages
and other offices.
An open rotunda rises 6 floors
from the center of the symmetrical
building. It is capped off by a now
gmng-colored dome. A few years
back, art students fitted the dome
with a 25-foot wide braissere. The
campus police unstrapped the build
ing in front of throngs of noon-hour
students.
Cadet buglers blow taps for de
ceased Aggies from the balcony sur
rounding the dome. A light which
once topped the dome (called Pre-
xy’s Moon) was used as an aircraft
warning beacon.
Prof. E. E. Giesecke, the struc
tural engineer for the building,
made the walls and floors several feet
thick out of reinforced concrete. He
claimed he wasn’t sure of the exact
strength of the relatively new build
ing material and was adding a,couple
extra layers “just to be safe. Tt will be
a tough structure to bring down.
Trimmed in red granite, the
$225,000 building was done in the
neo-classical revival style of the
times. It carries the traditional
column-supported pediment pasted
to the front of the edifice, and up
lifted a floor above the ground.
Even today its front lawn, one of
the last open green spaces on cam
pus, attracts students, staff, and vis
itors to its quiet for some rest and
relaxation between, or even during
classes.
