Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution, introduced by Senators Cornyn and Cruz, commends Texas A&M University on the occasion of its 150th anniversary of service to Texas and the nation. It traces the university's history from its 1876 founding as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas through its growth into a major research and military institution, highlighting milestones such as its role in training officers during World War I and World War II, racial and gender integration in the 1960s and 1970s, and its designation as the Military College of Texas. The resolution notes the university's current scale, including more than 81,300 students, over 650,000 graduates since founding, annual research spending exceeding $1.5 billion, and its strong Corps of Cadets tradition that produces more commissioned military officers than any other senior military college. It does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements but is a symbolic statement of recognition. The Senate directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to Texas A&M's board chairman, chancellor, and president to formally mark the anniversary.
