Corps of Cadets
As part of the land-grant promise to the State of Texas, Texas A&M University began as a military college with a student body made up of the Corps of Cadets. Over the years, the Corps of Cadets grew, created traditions still observed today, and provided selfless service to their country. The University Archives collections focus on the lives of cadets and the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band.
