want to work.”
He said students in agricul

from hard labor,
not prepare them
for a life of it.

cultural specialist,
Kunkel said.
“Throughout
the years, the curriculum has
changed, but the structure and
heart of the College was estab
lished by Curtis,” Kunkel said.
In the years that followed,
the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station was organ
ized, distant substations were
sited, short courses were estab
lished and a Farmers Institute
was organized.
By the turn of the centu

lead.” Kunkel said.
In 1963. when the
Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Texas was renamed
Texas A&M University, the
School of Agriculture became
the College of Agriculture and
was later designated the
College of Agriculture and Life
Sciences in 1989.
During the 1970s and
1980s, research began to
flourish and academics in
agriculture emphasized the
sciences, Kunkel said. This
trend continues today.
“Quantitative approaches
are beginning to emerge into
undergraduate and environmen
tal concepts,” Kunkel said.
“Major trends in science and
management are taking over.”
Along with the overwhelm
ing changes in the college dur
ing the past 90 years, Kunkel
said the personalities and expe
riences of current faculty and
students are different from
those 50 years ago.
“The faculty is changing
because most of the people
being trained now are being
trained in the sciences,” he said.
“Most of the faculty now don't
have close ties to the old fann
ing techniques.”
Kunkel said students
also are emphasizing the
sciences more.
“Students have changed
enormously,” Kunkel said.
“They are clearly more sophis
ticated, mature and stronger in
the sciences. They’re more
widely experienced in life.”
