 The following is a production of New Mexico State University. Without New Mexico State University's history, events of international significance have affected the student population. In 1916, Pancho Villa and his revolutionary forces attacked Columbus, New Mexico, leaving 18 dead, including alumnus Charles D. Miller. Classes were dismissed during his funeral, and ROTC students were called away from the college. This attack had a direct effect on enrollment, as some parents refused to allow their children to return to campus because of the proximity of the border. When 47 students were called away for duty, the Roundup newspaper stated, the college has given the flower of her manhood. It was only one year later when the school's ROTC students were called again, this time to fight in World War I. For the early years, I'm Carla Aragon. This was a centennial minute from New Mexico State University. The preceding was a production of New Mexico State University.
