A&M: A Salute for 125 Years

Gig'em Aggies!!! JDUB, Class of '88

[KeepTheEdge]

I like the Aggies, because they help fellow Alumni after they graduate.

Aggies commission more ROTC members than any other school outside of the military acadamies. I remember during the Gulf war, buying a shirt that said "Gig 'Em Troops". There is no better place to be than at A&M, during times like these. It is so inspiring to walk across campus and see the CT's (Corps of Cadets members) in their uniforms.

If, God forbid (sort of), any attack ever takes place at Harvard, or any other ultraliberal snob campus, no person or charity will get a penny from me. They've felt nothing but hate for us for decades. They will get the same in return.

According to my daughter who will graduate from A&M in May, Multi-Cultural, PC, anti-western crap is alive and well at A&M. The difference between Harvard and A&M may be that it is the Professors spouting that crap and the students mostly try to ignore it.

My daughter has always been a good student and will probably graduate with honors even though she took a couple of hits on her grades by refusing to read Al Gores book (Silent Spring?) in one of her classes and speaking out against a Professor who was lecturing some crap about the white male culture being responsbile for all the woes in the world.

The values of most of the student body at A&M is distinctly conservative, but not so for many of the Professors who teach there.

Gig 'em Ags!

The funny thing is that A&M's goal through the 80's was to be the 'Harvard of the South'.

Bump from Aggie grandmom class of 2012!

something I have been wondering. I have a new daughter(who turns 1 year old on the 16th!) and we are saving up to send her to the college of her choice. We of course think she is brilliant(which she is) and think she will be able to choose from any college she wants. Are there any of the "elite" colleges that may be well known for having conservative values, or at least not such liberal snobbery as Harvard or Brown? We are in Oklahoma, so SMU and Rice are close. Any suggestions?

One of my uncles used to run steam boilers at Harvard when he was a young man. When WWII started, he joined the Navy and his experience with boilers quickly got him in the engine room. After the war he went back to see about his old job and was told in no uncertain terms that he was not wanted. On his way off campus, a janitor had told him how the engineering professors had blown up the boilers the week after he left. It seems the profs didn't have to read the instruction manuals since they knew better than anyone else how to run a boiler and they were Harvard professors. They spent three winters witout heat due to their stupidity.

I sent my daughter there over UT due to their conservative views and their patriotic beliefs. Another reason was the fact there was a very low HIV/AIDS problem compared to UT.

As an Aggie who was at A&M during the Gulf War, I can personally testify that A&M is the most culturally and politically diverse campus in the world. While it was at that time about 80% conservative, the newspaper and (of course) the faculty was overwhelmingly liberal. The newspaper came out against the Gulf war, and while us clear headed Aggies saw better, we respected their right to their opinion. The opposite is not always true, however. The liberals hated us then and still hate us, but there were so many of us, that they had no choice but to guard their words. At A&M, you can be whatever you want and nobody really cares. THAT is multi-culturalism.

No wonder Bill Gates had to drop out of Harvard and go start a computer company!!!!
