The exhibit contains an ori ginal letter written by cadet Mar vin Mimms to band master Richard J. Dunn in July of 1925. In his letter, Mimms explains why he wants Dunn to put music to a new song he wrote for the University. “Judge Walter S. Hunnycutt, a graduate of Texas University, would be glad to write the music to my song, but I don’t want him in on the deal as Texas Universi-' ty would be boasting about one of their grads writing a school song for A&M College,” he wrote. Dunn accepted the offer and released “The Spirit of Aggie- land” the next year. The exhibit also includes ear ly printings of “The Aggie War Hymn” — then known as “The Battle Hymn of A&M.” One such printing in a fresh man yell book of 1926 has a foot note telling freshmen: “The tune and words of this new song of battle were written by Pinky Wilson, ex-’20 while on the Rhine — LEARN IT.” Schultz said the exhibit proves that some lines in the war hymn, which was written in 1919, were taken from yell books published before 1919. ‘“Hullabaloo Caneck Caneck’ was in a 1906 yell book,” he said, “while ‘saw varsity’s horns off was in a 1915 yell book.” Other items on display in clude clippings and pictures of the first Texas Aggie Band, composer of “The Twelfth Man” Lil Munnerlyn, and “The Centennial March” written by current Texas Aggie Band dire ctor Col.
