Since those days, the campus has grown, new buildings have risen to supersede or stand beside the old, new disciplines have been added to agri-culture and mechanics, and A&M has become a university of international stature. Despite expansion, the campus still invites exploration of its buildings and byways, its oak-shaded walks and echoing halls, its history.

Produktbeschreibung
Thousands of Aggies have walked the campus of Texas A&M since the late 1800s, when it was just a few buildings on a brier-tangled field. Since those days, the campus has grown, new buildings have risen to supersede or stand beside the old, new disciplines have been added to agri-culture and mechanics, and A&M has become a university of international stature. Despite expansion, the campus still invites exploration of its buildings and byways, its oak-shaded walks and echoing halls, its history. With this readable, easy-to-carry guidebook, anyone can follow in the footsteps of those past generations of Aggies and take one tour or all five tours of the various sections of campus. If a trip to the College Station campus is not on your calendar, you can still follow the tour at home. There is a route map for each of the tours, and every building or building complex is a stop on the tour, with information and anecdotes provided by your guide. For old Ags, Footsteps will amount to a pleasant homecoming and the opportunity to see not only familiar sights but also their alma mater's impressive growth and progress. Numerous photographs of the buildings are included, and images of A&M at its most colorful are represented in an eight-page color section. The photo-graphic coverage, as well as little-known facts and the origins of unique Aggie traditions, will orient newcomers to campus and help to infuse a new generation with the renowned Aggie spirit.
