The Corps of Cadets Center aims to bring traditions
Raj
Thursday • February 13,1!
f
alive for visitoi
By Melanie Benson
The Battalion
W ith displays de
signed to evoke
the feeling of liv
ing Aggie history, the Sam
Houston Corps of Cadets
Center provides the oppor
tunity to take a stroll down
memory lane.
Visitors have the chance
to understand the feeling Ag
gies get from such traditions
as Silver Taps. Pictures of
Corps trips, Final Review and
the history of the Twelfth
Man bring the Aggie tradi
tions alive in the center.
Located across from the
Quad, the center was do
nated to A&M by Sam
Houston Sanders.
It serves as the Corps
staff headquarters and is a
major recruiting tool.
Joe Fenton ’58, curator of
the center since it opened
in 1992, is no stranger to to
the Corps.
“The purpose of the cen
ter is to the preserve the
past, promote the present
and protect the future,”
Fenton said. “I really believe
in this place.”
Visitors are greeted by
the Corps Center Guard, a
group of cadets who wear
the 1930’s version of the
Corps uniform.
A chandelier given to the
center by a former student
is now an artifact on display
in the center.
“No one is turned away
— we’ll take anything from
old fish stripes to oral histo
ries,” Fenton said.
The 3-D diorama cen
terpiece which changes
annually has showcased
artifacts from World War I
and World War II. It cur
rently displays different
Corps uniforms from the
past to the present.
Eight by ten photo pan
els with candid shots of the
Corps throughout the years
also are hung along the
walls of the Center.
Fenton said people who
return to A&M look to re
member experiences they
had at the University.
“We are here to welcome
old Aggies and let visitors see
things that represent what
A&M might have meant to
them,” Fenton said.
Major Overby, an assis
tant professor for military
sciences, enjoys the mem
ories the center recreates
for him.
“All of the pictures, espe
cially the freshmen group
shots, are very important to
me because of the bonds
you form during that first
year,” Overby said.
Overby said it was a
way to show off the histo
ry of the Corps of Cadets
to his father.
“My dad wasn’t an Aggie,
but it was impressive to
show him how much the
Corps means to me by
showing him a little histo
ry,” Overby said.
A living exhibit of old
photo albums and scrap
books hold a visual chronol
ogy of such campus organi
zations as the football team,
track team, United Way and
MSC Hospitality.
This exhibit turns a page
in history every month,
Fenton said.
“It allows visitors to see
the metamorphosis of the
campus — anything from
how it’s moved across the
track to the addition of
new organizations and
how they affect campus
life,” he said.
The antique gun collec
tion gives a history of early
guns dating back to the
14th century.

Fenton, also known as “Of Fenton said.
Joe,” is proud to talk to fresh
men who are debating with
drawing from the Corps.
“I find that if I can show
them what A&M means to
me and other old Aggies, 1
usually can talk them into
at least one more day,”
Fenton believes the i
ter has caught the eyeij
Aggies old and new.
“It’s become a platfi

Fenton said.

Continued from Page 3
Presley’s beloved Tonka trucks met an un
fortunate fate at the hands of her younger
brother.
“He destroyed the trucks for me,” Presley said.
“They say Tonka trucks are indestructible — they
haven’t met my brother.”
Presley since has moved on, abandoning
the Tonka trucks in favor of Play-Doh and a
Koosh slingshot.

“Mom kept them all,” Firgens said. "Sheit
