Don't care if that T was beveled.

Back in the 20's, girls liked the more "flattened" and "boyish" looks in their styles.

Some stuff just needs to keep itself in the 1920's.

Edit: But not anything you have in that chest War Hymn, keep all of that 20's stuff coming. Fantastic.

I just want everyone to know that getting in on page 1 of this thread is pretty much as cool as your grandfather writing the War Hymn. Hopefully I can pass on this legacy to my own grandchildren.

last one for tonight....one that my grandparents were NOT there for....the 1918 Commencement exercises, a bit later in the year than they hold them today:


Also, I met with an A&M author & historian today. He was blown away by the amount of stuff that I have & also by the originality & by how well everything had been preserved & documented. Make no doubt....once the dust settles, these mementos are going to be written about & exhibited for all you Aggies to see for years to come....

look at the doors behind those two...



how can so many "Aggies" not understand the significance of insignificant things remaining constant?

Just to be able to see a picture from nearly a century ago and say, "Hey, I was just on those steps yesterday!" You can't do that when they pave over and modernize every square inch of the earth.

TexasRebel what building do you think that is?

It is not the Systems Building, that's for sure.

Not sure if correct. The steps are too low for the YMCA and I don't recall pillars on the east side of the Academic Building.

I'm thinking it's some building that was razed before any of us step foot on campus.

War Hymn Aggie,

Your grandfather's helmet and information on him is currently on display at the Corps Center. Also, the statue of him is on the west side of the building, facing Kyle Field. They would be very interested in adding any of these additional items to the current display. If you would call 862-2862 and ask to speak with the curator, they can assist.

Could it be Sbisa? I know there are the big columns at the entrance, and the doors have been redone a few times, I think.

Oh, and I agree with everyone else...awesome find! I really do hope you get with some people at Cushing. I work for the Library, so if you need help connecting with someone, just let me know!

With those columns and the arch above the door in the picture, it certainly appears to be Sbisa.
