Did you know? That Texas A&M was formally known as the "Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas"*. Opened in 1876, it was originally designed to be a part of the then-in-progress University of Texas. Ah! But not so fast my friend!
The Texas legislature soon redacted their intention, officially declaring A&M an independent school shortly after World War II.
*Penn State was once named the "Agricultural College of Pennsylvania"...you see, we were a match made in Heaven!
