There was a time in Texas
A&M’s history that students
could be dismissed for “giving,
accepting or bearing a challenge
to fight a duel.” This may seem
like an odd proposition to stu
dents today, but the Rules and
Regulations Handbook of 1883
enumerated this specific, yet
probably commonplace occur
rence, in its section on disci
pline. It is just one of the small
pieces of A&M’s history that
has helped to build the rich tra
dition of the University and
gives great significance to the
125th anniversary celebration.
The theme of the celebra
tion, “spirit of tradition, spirit of
tomorrow,” calls students to
look at A&M’s past and future.
With programs like Vision
2020, A&M plans to provide
greater expansion and more
opportunity.
Looking to the past and
understanding A&M’s devel
opment during the course of
the last century is important.
Dr. Janis P. Stout, dean of fac
ulties and associate provost,
has been digging through the
archives at the Cushing
Memorial Library uncovering
facts about A&M’s past, like
the one mentioned above.
“[I have found many) inter
esting facts,” Stout said.
“Things that look odd to us
today; things that are sort of
funny. That kind of thing.”
For example, the 1896
Orders Governing the Corps of
Cadets mandated, “During the

“Sentinels must allow no wood

Of course, there is more to
A&M’s history than these small
facts. Stout uncovered the Acts
of the Legislature of Texas and
the Proceedings of the Board of
Directors, which describe the
creation and development of the
University.
A&M’s history begins many
years before it opened its doors
to students in 1876. President
Abraham Lincoln approved the
Morrill Act in 1862, that pro
vided public land grants to
some states for the establish
ment of colleges; a few years
later, the Texas Legislature
accepted the act and declared
that “the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas,
established by an act of the
Legislature, passed April 17,
1871, located in the county of
Brazos, is hereby made ... for
instruction in agriculture, the
mechanic arts and the natural
sciences connected herewith."
After the creation of the
A&M College of Texas, the
A&M Board of Directors met in
Bryan in 1875 to organize the
college’s administration. Several
meetings later, the rules of the
college were established, and
among them were provisions that
the faculty would consist of a
president and five professors;
that the minimum age of admis
sion would be fifteen years old;
that tuition would be free and
that boarding for students would
not exceed $12 per month.

Finally, the board ended
their second meeting with tk
following declaration: “It was
determined that on the
dn\ of October, the College
should be formally opened by
an address from the governor."
This history is part of the
celebration. The anniversary of
the University is a look forward
and a look back at those who
helped create and shape A&M. P
And now, 66 years after his
own attendance at A&M.

“There wasn't anything on
the other side of the tracks,
unless it was an animal sciencl
lab or something like that. Andl
think the veterinary school was-
there, but all the other classes
were on the east side of cam
pus.” he said. “As far as on
own schedule, we had 10 min
utes between classes, most, ip-oTr- rwx
classes were small, from 20H 'uvlh K1 J>
30 students, and probably some
professors taught many more
courses than they do now.”
Breazeale also recalled the
social atmosphere of the town.
“Money was scarce, but
once in a while we’d gotoa
show,” Breazeale . said. "I
believe we had one movie a
week in what was called die
assembly hall, where the chapel
is now. 1 also think the activities
that are available have
increased, of course, and there's
just so many activities, a student
can do what he’s able to door
what she’s able to do.”
