44.1. A. .-' cf. .J 4 . u,L..:.L ..'...... A .- E- :Lac ,D a By the first commencement of 1871 there were already many established groups at the Aggie, including several fraterna- ties, two of which had been founded here, a debating socie- ty, a glee club and an orchestra. The first student publica- tion, The INDEX, was published that year and has been ev- ery year since. AGCIE LIFE, a weekly newspaper, began publication in the '80s, changed its name to COLLEGE SIGNAL in 1901 amidst student agitation for the removal of the word Aggie from everything, and eventually became our constant companion the COLLEGIAN in 1914.

After the second world war an addi- tion to Mem Hall was planned and Ike himself came to see the sketches but, mysteriously, it was never built. Then the campus began to take on its more modern shape with the construction of the Student Union in '57, our city within a city called Southwest in '66 and the Campus Center in '69 which has centered controversy over its worth to the stu- dents who pay for it. The construction of the world's tallest library is well within the memory of upperclassmen, pic- tured in 1970. ,r ggi,-A, -W'-' ' HUT'- 9 , W' BSE. Y 'J . an wx- if ,mg I 'A LF' Y
