On August 14, 1876, the Texas Legislature established the “Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas for Colored Youths” (present day Prairie View A&M University) and placed responsibility for its management with the Board of Directors of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas at Bryan (present day Texas A&M University), linking the 1862 and 1890 Land Grant Universities. Officials at Prairie View A&M University and the National Alumni Association are calling on alumni around the world to take time out on August 14 to celebrate and remember the university and its impact and contributions to higher education. In 2015, the university commemorated the William H. Holland and Matthew Gaines Memorial Student Park in their honor.
Until next week, in the words of noted historian and piper professor Dr. George Ruble Woolfolk, “Prairie View Agricultural & Mechanical College is a study in public conscience. For every man whose feet has touched these hallowed soils have found a spirit and deepened it until what began as a meandering stream has now turned into an oasis.” Keep the spirit of PVAMU alive.
