Texas A&M Campus (circa 1975-76)

During this period the University was undergoing dynamic change not only in the size and makeup of the student body but also in the look and layout of the campus.

That looks earlier than 1975-6. In the panoramic shot of the quad, D2 sign is on Dorm 6. That was from fall of 72 through spring of 74. After that we were in Dorm 8 my junior year and 10 my senior year. And that cannon shown was found while cutting down trees for bonfire. I think it later became the salute cannon.

This definitely belongs in Cushing Library...I've handled still photographs from the archives... but not 8 mm video. Very cool! It is great knowing the history of such a fine American institution.

That new water tower was going up, the old one coming down. History happening.
