Meaning and history
The university’s first incarnation was founded in 1876 by the state government. It was a land-granting college, supposed to educate people in the branches of engineering, biology, chemistry, and others. Brazos County has given large territory near Bryan for the campus construction. Initially, only white men capable to serve in Cadet Corps and undergo military training could apply to the college.
For the decades to come, the organization made improvements in the educational process, developed new degree programs and constructed new buildings. Finally, in 1963, the state assembly has turned the Texas College into the university.
