STAFF PRESENT: Joey Dunn, Staff Planner;Todd McDaniel, Policy Analyst
I. CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 12:01 p.m., by Joan Lamkin, Chairman. Joan
stated that the main purpose of the meeting was so that the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC)
and the Community Appearance Committee (CAC) could share their talents and ideas on some
activities that CAC was involved in.
II. INTRODUCTION OF MEMBERS AND STAFF PRESENT ON BOTH COMMITTEES: All staff and
committee members present introduced themselves. Joan commended the city staff for all the help
they've given the Historic Committee.
III. PURPOSE OF COMMUNITY APPEARANCE COMMITTEE: John Nichols thanked the Historic
Preservation Committee for the opportunity to meet and discuss their activities. He stated that there
had been quite a bit of turn over on the committee- only four members remained from the previous
year. However, the committee had prioritized their strategic directions the year before and that's
what the current committee was working on. John passed out a list to all present which showed the
subcommittees and gave an overview of what the committee was working on as a whole. John
gave a brief rundown on the four activities going on for which subcommittees have been set up:
Flags and Banners, Public Awareness,Appearance Awards; Adopt-A-Spot, Gateways, and
the Big Event. He stated that the CAC also had a liaison on the Northgate Steering Committee,
Doug Slack. Community Appearance is hoping that the Flags and Banners idea will be picked up
by the Northgate Steering Committee and integrated into the design and renovation of Northgate.
John stated that even though the Adopt A Spot program is managed by the City Staff, the CAC
reviews and approves those requests. The CAC also felt that the Appearance Awards activity,
while on-going for several years, needed to be revitalized, starting with businesses which have done
a good lob,and recognizing them once or twice a year with presentations in front of the City Council,
etc.

IV. PURPOSE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE: Joan stated that the purpose of the HPC
was to preserve and protect information, homes, etc., of historic significance to the City of College
Station for future generations. Several of the Committee's activities/accomplishments were
mentioned - the state marker for the interurban trolley, the railroad depot marker, the oral history
interviews, historic home and business markers, etc. Copies of the Historic Homes Calendar 1988
- 1988; A Guide to Historic Brazos County; and College Station, Texas 1988- 1988, were
presented to all members present.
Joan explained that in 1994, the City came to the Historic Preservation Committee and asked them
to help research the history of Northgate. She asked Todd and Joey to briefly discuss this topic since
it was the Northgate project which really got the two committees interested in each other. Todd
began by saying that he felt there was a role that Historic Preservation could play with the CAC in
relation to Northgate. He stated that the Council had just approved staff to begin negotiating a
contract with Consultants for revitalization and redevelopment strategy for Northgate. The plan
would include everything from parking and circulation studies to actual working drawings of a
potential pedestrian mall and the redevelopment of the core center of Northgate located behind
Dudley's Draw and the other commercial areas. He felt that since negotiations had just been
initiated it was too early to describe exactly how the two committees would link up, however, there
was a definite role that the HPC could play when the consultants come in to evaluate and analyze
Northgate. Joey added that the oral history was something that the consultants would draw from.
He said all three of the consultants that had been chosen to rank, have proposed workshops and
public involvement type things where they would want participation from the two committees. Joey
stated that initially the consultants would just be gathering information. John asked if the
consultants were asked, in the requests for proposals, to specifically address the historic
preservation issue. Joey said yes, that it was specified, and they were asked in particular to do a
historic resource survey. He stated that Gali Dolev had done some windshield surveys and general
identification of the older properties in Northgate, but that the consultants would go further in the
data collection process and take photographs, and gather a data base of information that could be
drawn from. One of the big issues in Northgate is parking and it would be one of the first issues
addressed. Joey stated that the character of Northgate and its pedestrian environment needed to
be preserved and that both committees needed to communicate that to the consultants. He saw
the HPC playing a large role in the process. Joey asked if the story which had run the previous week
on KBTX -TV, was taken directly from the oral history interviews. Gracie answered that it was a two
part program by Mark Schneider. Mr. Schneider had called Gracie and asked her for names of
contact people that he could get personal stories from. Todd stated that there was a large variety of
information on Northgate and the HPC could assist the consultants when they are ready to do the
workshops and gather the information they need.
Gary asked if there was a recommendation coming from the Capital Improvements Committee to do
something about Northgate. Todd stated yes, but not directly - there would probably be some
terminology about Northgate within Stereoscope. He stated that at the current time Council hasn't
reached a consensus on wording and how the bond election would be packaged, but there had
been discussion at many CIP meetings about Streetscape monies - a minimum of $200,000 maybe
up to$500,000 -going in to Northgate.
Deborah stated that ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Enhancement Act) money needed to
be considered, and from what she's seen, Northgate has two possibilities. There is 10% of the
money set aside every year for historical projects and she's attended several TxDOT seminars about
ISTEA money and how its used. For example Hearne just received $200,000 to redo their train
station. She also stated that the parking situation in front of Dudley's has been labeled by both state
and district highway people as a hazard. There is also ISTEA money available to do that type of
thing. In both instances 20% matching funds would need to be put up, and the capital
improvements money could be applied as the 20%. She stated that a fairly simple proposal has to
be submitted to ask for ISTEA money, but that most of the things which have been drawn up for City
Council could be used in the proposal. The money comes from the Department of Transportation,
through TxDOT and will be available through 1998. She stated that on the money set aside for
historic and architectural type projects, the committee in Austin is not made up strictly of
transportation engineers who make the decision - it's parks and recreation and wildlife and fisheries
people, as well as the engineers, so projects would have a good chance of being approved. Todd

stated that the President of A&M agrees that Northgate is a hazard from a pedestrian perspective
and because of that, there should be a lot of joint participation between A&M and the City in the
Northgate area.
V. OPEN DISCUSSION AND BRAINSTORMING FOR FUTURE JOINT PROJECTS. Joan asked Greg
to discuss the ideas he had for joint projects between the committees. All members present were
given a copy of the list he had put together and he gave a brief overview of the topics stating that in
his opinion all city committees should not be easily defined with set parameters, since they all work
together in improving and enhancing College Station.
Greg asked if the City had an architectural review board, and Joey stated that there was one solely
for the Wolf Pen Creek District. Greg stated that having such a board for the entire city might be
something that needed to be taken into consideration. He doesn't want to see College Station loose
it's identity by looking like every other city with the same style buildings. Tom Kenny, owner of the
Outback Steakhouse, stated that he felt new businesses coming in were more than willing to work
with the city within consistent guidelines, as long as there is some equity in how it is implemented.
He feels the potential is there for the city to do a much better job as far as guidelines for such things
as landscaping, etc. Deborah J. agreed, using a McDonald's in San Antonio as an example. It was
created with a great deal of detail in a 1950's motif. She felt that if the businesses are approached
correctly when they first begin discussions about coming into the city, they might be more amenable
about making modifications from the "cookie cutter' concept. Greg stated that in order for changes
to be made, guidelines needed to be put into place immediately. Gary commented that sometimes
imposing an architectural style can lead to a sameness which has a phony appearance to it, such as
Sante Fe where everything is adobe. Todd stated that cities with too much repetition are not livable,
such as Carmel, California. He feels that there needs to be a variety. In some areas, such as
Northgate, repetition might be good, however on Texas Avenue repetition may not be what you'd
want. He said that there are appearance issues checkpoints in place now in terms of Stereoscope
ordinance. Whether or not a review board is necessary depends on what perspective your looking
at it from. He stated that that's what the Council, and Plan Review Board are there for - to look at
the checkpoints along the way and see if something's built in accordance with the standards. He
stated that he didn't know at what point you could mandate repetition through regulation, but that it
was a point to consider.
John commented that it was possible that the idea of an architectural review board fit into the long
range Comprehensive Plan currently being done by consultants for the city. Todd said that H.O.K.
out of Dallas was the consulting firm doing the plan, and which was only about 25% complete. The
firm is worldwide and they've also been chosen to do the Northgate Revitalization Redevelopment
Strategy. As far as the Comprehensive Plan is concerned there is a tie-in with an architectural review
board since the consultants will be reviewing everything - all zoning ordinances and subdivision
regulations. They will come back with some changes which council will have to review and make
decisions on.
Kay stated that the idea behind the banners idea was to give people a focus when they come into
town. Instead of an orange building or a franchise, they will see some color focus and uniformity
with the nylon banners which are fairly inexpensive and low maintenance. These banners will not
be the same all over town, they may have certain themes in certain areas such as Northgate.
These banners, which are approximately seven feet tall and three feet wide, would be suspended
from brackets tat the top and bottom of the banner) from light poles. The committee wants civic
participation so a contest will be held to involve anyone who would like to submit a design -
amateurs as well as professionals. The idea is still in the development stages at this time. John
suggested that a picture, symbol or design of some type that would distinguish Northgate as an
historic area could be used on all banners hung in that area, and that perhaps Historic Preservation
would like to get involved and have some type of contest to come up with an idea that could be
used in that particular area.
Gary suggested to the CAC that they might consider using another type of street light instead of
using the old cobra-head lights. The lights he suggested would direct the light downward where it's
needed,which would make it more efficient and put off less light pollution.

John asked Greg what path the interurban trolley would take. Greg said it would be best for it to
trace the original tracks, if possible, and use that as a corridor with landscaping, etc. John
suggested using the trolley idea as a gateway feature on College where the trolley left Bryan and
entered College Station. Greg stated that was where the State site marker would be placed for the
trolley. Joan stated that Charles Schultz had told her it would be placed on College Main.
Greg suggested painting a mural somewhere in Northgate. Todd said he really liked that idea
because it got into the issue of public art in public spaces. He stated that he would like to see the
consultants look into public art as a consideration for Northgate when they do the revitalization
redevelopment strategy. Greg and Todd both agreed that a mural depicting the history of
Northgate would be a project both committees could work on together. Joan stated that the HPC
would like to be involved in the decision making on any type of public art depicting historical themes.
Greg commented on the topic entitled "Aggie Corridor', stating that the area which concerned him
most was where University turned into Raymond Stotzer Parkway as you go under the railroad
overpass. There is an expansive median there that is just beige asphalt. Todd stated that the area
is state highway. He feels that the City, A&M, and TxDOT were working at a much closer level in
addressing the issues relating to transportation and Stereoscope issues on the state highways, since
College Station is a city of state highways. He commented that in order to produce positive change
you have to work in cooperation with the state. John said the blessing of that was that the state
pays for reconstruction, but the bane of it was that you had to live with their design guidelines.
John asked if anyone on the committees had any comments before adjourning. Jack Lamkin said
the HP C was welcome to help the CA C on the Big Event. Todd felt it would be a good idea for the
HPC to appoint a liaison to a couple of the CA subcommittees. John stated that his committee would
be pleased to have someone participate on a couple of the subcommittees. Todd said that the
Banners and Flags Subcommittee and the Points of Entry Subcommittee would be the two
that would apply directly to the HP C.
VI. ADJOURN: The joint meeting adjourned at 1:20 p.m.. Joan asked the Historic Preservation
Committee to remain a little longer to discuss other concerns.
VII. OTHER COMMITTEE CONCERNS: Steve Smith agreed to act as liaison for the CAC Points of
Entry Subcommittee, and Deborah Jasek agreed to act as liaison on Banners and Flags. Greg
Keith said he would be happy to act as an alternate with Steve on Points of Entry.
The next item for discussion was to vote on the applications for historic home markers for 303 and
305 Dexter. There were two absentee votes that voted yes to approve both houses for historic
markers. A motion was made and seconded to approve both houses. Greg commented that the
information on the homes was very well researched. Since 305 Dexter was the oldest, it was
designated #26, and 303 Dexter was designated historic home#27. David told Bill that the plaques
would be presented the second Thursday in January.
Gracie Colbert gave the committee an update on the oral history project, stating that all the minutes
from the interviews had been transcribed and sent on to the interviewees to check for spelling,
references to names, corrections, etc. Gracie said that some of the interviewees had even added
more information to their interviews. Some interviews were sent back with more pictures which
would be duplicated and the originals returned to their owners. The corrections have been made
and they are all complete with the exception of two. One is Allister Waldrup's whose wife is trying to
get some information from him and is working with Florace to complete the interview. The other is
Lou Cashion's mother's interview. Joan asked where the videos, tapes and interviews were being
kept. Gracie stated that they were locked in a file cabinet in Gracie's office. There was some
concern as to whether the items shouldn't be kept in a fire proof cabinet. Gracie stated that the
topic of storage should be discussed at the Oral History Committee's January meeting.

The committee agreed to move the regular January meeting to the second Wednesday, due to the
fact that several people would still be gone for the holiday break.
The Historic Preservation Committee officially adjourned at 1:45 p.m.

College Station Historic Preservation Committee
College Station Community Appearance Committee
First Joint Meeting December 9, 1994 Council Chambers
PURPOSE: To pool resources together for the improvement of College Station's
appearance, with the focus on our history.
1) Large 1926 Northgate mural to be painted on a Northgate building.
2)Northgate Revitalization- Report on Northgate Steering Committee. Opportunities for
Banners, boardwalk, and plantings here.
3) Aggie Corridor- To improve the appearance of College Station that borders Texas
A&M University. This includes medians that streetscape does not address.
4 Points of Entry- To be more aware of potential areas of improvement at all points of
first impressions: All highway and major road entrances into city, Easterwood Terminal,
McKenzie Terminal, Amtrak Station, Any Bus Stations/Stops?, Visitor/Convention
centers, Hotel corridors,
5) Interurban Parkway/Transportation System- A short-term goal is to identify, mark,
and landscape the Interurban corridor. It can be coordinated with bicycle paths.
Qualifies for ISTEA funding. This Cavitt/College Avenue route can be an attractive,
historic route from Bryan's Main Street to A&M through College Station.
6) Old Main Society- To preserve, enhance, and interpret the history, integrity,
architecture, character, and beauty of the campus and adjacent property. This is an A&M
student committee with associations with professors, administrators, former students, and
Bryan-College Station residents.
7) Former business plaques at Northgate, Eastgate, and Southgate.
8) Look at the Big Picture- Tourism will increase with the completion of the George
Bush Library/Museum and the Special Events Center. Developers know this...Look at all
the new hotels and restaurants. Tourists stay longer and spend more dollars in places that
are unique. Community Appearance and the Historic Preservation Committee need to get
involved now before any new construction begins. Is there an architectural review board?
If there is, are the minimum design standards appropriate. Are new buildings in line with
community and regional architectural traditions, or are they the same buildings the chains
would put up in Minnesota or California? Could we have one area of College Station for
Southwestern/adobe architecture, another for southern style, another for 1875 A&M red-
brick style, another for Texan/western traditions. Are there Shiloh or other immigrant
architectural styles which could be adopted in their area of origin. Let's be wary of the
franchising of America. These chains are putting the same stores in every community.
College Station must be different.
OLD MAIN SOCIETY
December 9, 1994
Presentation to Community Appearance and Historic Preservation
Old Main Society was formed in September of 1994 in order to give students a voice on the
issues concerning the ever-changing campus and surrounding areas. The initial mission statement
is as follows: The Old Main Society functions to preserve, enhance, and interpret the history,
integrity, architecture, character, and beauty of the campus and adjacent property. This
committee is named after the first building on campus. It was completed in 1875 on the current
site of the Academic building. The original red-brick buildings are recorded in stark contrast to
the modern beige-brick buildings on campus.
It is important to realize that this committee is not just about buildings. Old Main Society has
many areas of concern, as stated in the mission statement. On the other hand,the old buildings
influence the character, image, and integrity of the physical campus more than anything else.
The Bush Library/Museum,the Special Events Center, and the Big 12 conference will all factor
into changing the campus and it's immediate environs as we know them. As you know,plans are
underway to demolish Law Hall (1927), Puryear Hall (1927), Deware Fieldhouse (1924), and
Downs Natatorium (1932).
The only reason the English Annex(1922) is still standing is because of its small footprint on
campus, proximity to the utility plant, and most importantly, the fact student groups wanted to
use the space from time to time. The Sports Rec Center(1995) will make Deware and Downs
obsolete for their current functions, but this does not mean these unique structures cannot be
renovated for new uses. I was told demolition of the two buildings will cost over$500,000.
Certainly we can do something more positive at that price. Brainstorming makes the possibilities
seem almost limitless.
Deware Fieldhouse Renovation Ideas:
Aggie Sports Museum
S WC Museum 1914-1996
Large offices for student organizations that currently have only cubicle space or nothing at all
Dorm for students with classes on West Campus
Overflow Diamond-Vision viewing facility for football fans when game is sold out
(At current capacity this will happen often when Big 12 conference play begins)
Campus Ice Rink for recreation
Ice Rink for future Texas A&M hockey team
Alternative sports facility
Dance club for under 21 students (Most freshmen, sophomores, and some juniors)
Downs Natatorium Renovation Ideas:
Alternative Silent (Solitary) Study Area
Locker space for students living off-campus
Small offices for student organizations that currently have only cubicle space or nothing at all
We are working on ideas for all four of these threatened structures, but our immediate concern is
Law and Puryear, since they are slated to be demolished this summer. At the very beginning,
Old Main Society saw five options:
1) Renovate the dorms for central campus student housing.
2) Vacate and lock the dorms until funds are available to restore them.
3) Carefully raze the dorms and develop a remnant park.
4)Allow students to continue living in dorms in their current state.
5) Completely demolish the dorms as if they never existed.
Old Main Society did not support the last two options. Neither option required much thought,
respect, or creativity. It will probably cost over$300,000 to demolish Law and Puryear. Is this
money well spent? The first three options, however,were promising. The first required money
now, while the second required money at some future point in time. The third option would raise
the cost of demolition. It is viable since one plan for the site is green space. At this time I
understand there is no hope to save Law and Puryear. This leaves the third option. A
remnant park for Law and Puryear would incorporate the cornerstones and portions of the
historical facades, ramps, arches, and other architectural elements into the landscape. Joe Ag,
class of'40, could still show his grandsons where he lived the greatest days of his life.
We are working with a committee from Student Affairs to preserve the memory of Law and
Puryear. Plans are to have architecture students design several proposals for remnant parks.
Four prominent structures are slated to be razed in the mid 1990's. Four earlier structures were
razed in the mid to early 1950's; Pfeuffer(1887), Austin(1888), Ross (1891), and Foster Hall
(1899). There was no Old Main Society at that time to ask the administration to save the relics
from another century. They were demolished as planned. I'm sure you see the parallel. Ask any
Aggie today if these old buildings should have been saved forty years ago. I believe the majority
would answer yes. In 2035, Old Main Society members can ask Aggies if Law, Puryear,
DeWare, and Downs should have been saved. Again, I think the majority would answer yes.
The problem then lies in asking those in control at the point of no return to reconsider the
future implications and finality of demolishing these historic buildings.
I hope there is a possibility to add Old Main Society to the roster of Executive Committees in
Student Government. As a three year member of Muster Committee, I can envision Old Main
Society fitting in with all the committees. One easily can see how it complements Parents'
Weekend, Traditions Council, and the Muster Committee.
Other Ideas:
Demand more communication from A&M Administration on campus plans and changes before it
is too late
Better and safer crossing across University Ave. from Northside dorms to Northgate
Less streets through campus. I understand a pedestrian mall and park will replace Lubbock St.
(Runs in front of Corps Arches Plaza past the Commons)
Best use of cornerstones from original buildings (Brass plaques were stolen off these while they
were in storage last year in a Hensel Park greenhouse. Certainly we can find more
suitable places to store campus artifacts. I have heard these cornerstones will be used in
an arrangement at the proposed Development Foundation building).
Greening of unnecessary asphalt and concrete areas on campus
Moving Amtrak station to proposed reconstruction of 1883 Depot across Wellborn west of the
Albritton Belltower
1910 model of campus when Old Main and Mess Hall were still standing
Revolving endowment to save designated buildings on campus
Class Gifts designated to save historic buildings
More intense landscaping
Statue at Bolton Hall to mark first ever play-by-play radio college football broadcast
Old Main Society platform communicated to Board of Regents, Physical Plant, Facilities and
Planning, President's Office
Selection of Faculty Advisory Panel
Increase membership and awareness
Determine feasibility of reconstructing Old Main, Ross Hall, or Gathright. Can any of the
buildings from the 1800's be reconstructed in their original sites? Old Main cannot
because the Academic Building is on that site. What other possibilities exist?
Develop esplanades (medians)with trees ,grass, and statues on the streets bordering the campus
Demand more parking (Perhaps the current administration does not know that most cars in the
Mud Lot-$1.75/day or$97/semester- also pay for A&M parking hangers)
[Note: I realize that this does not seem to fit into the current mission statement, but
perhaps we can find a way.]
Demand better and more reliable transportation from East to West campus - Perhaps this could
be accomplished by bringing back the Interurban Trolley (1910)... College of Business
relocates to the West Campus Wehner Building for the Spring 1995 semester
Matching funds for class gifts
A traditional world-class library(Without green and beige carpet on the walls)
Cooperate with College Station to improve the aesthetics of the corridors bordering the campus.

Interurban update for September 7, 1994 meeting of the College Station Historic
Preservation Committee- submitted by Greg Keith.
Over the summer I have thought a lot about the possibility of reviving the Interurban
Trolley. This is a long- term project that requires ten steps.
1) Additional research for accurate pictures, descriptions, and technical information on the
trolleys.

2) An aggressive search for one or more of the five original trolley shells (There were two
or three at first #200,#201,#202, some longer versions #203,#204, and two electrical cars,
#300 and #301. The trailers were probably #100 and #101. A trolley of the same year
and make would suffice. The search would include placing articles or ads in the Texas
Aggie, Texas Highways, and other publications. Trips would have to be made to verify
the existence and authenticity of tips received.
3) Aquire a trolley shell. This should be free or very inexpensive. For example, it may
require trading a farmer an aluminum shed for the trolley shell.
4) Display the trolley in the state it was found in a prominent place to create awareness.
Include some historical interpretation and information on future plans.

5) Seek funding, and or financing to restore the trolley as authentically as possible. Try to
involve Texas A&M, George Bush Presidential Library, College Station, Bryan, railroad
and traction enthusiasts, and the state of Texas (ISTEA $). The Interurban should be
marketed as an element to enhance tourism in the area.
6) As the trolley nears completion, rent a building for a station at northgate or one of the
other sides of campus. The station should be along the proposed trolley route. An ideal
location for the station would be at the Bulls Eye restaurant at Northgate (This
establishment can't last too much longer). The station should be nostalgic in appearance.
Tickets, souvenirs, memorabilia, tour maps, brochures, and snacks could be obtained here.
The station could also function as a museum. I have often thought it would be interesting
to have a model of the campus depicting the time before Old Main burned. A campus
model set in June 1910 (The date trolley service began) would include Old Main and the
Mess Hall which burned within the next year.
7) A trolley route should be proposed. The initial trolley route should be thought of as the
most efficient and necessary to handle increased tourism as a result of the George Bush
library and the Special Events Center. For example, the best route might be as follows:
start at the Texas Avenue hotel district north of University Avenue, turn west on
University Avenue and stop at the Interurban Station-Northgate. Continue under the
Wellborn overpass on Raymond Stotzer Parkway. Turn south at the McKenzie terminal
entrance and stop at the terminal to service airport customers. Continue in the appropriate
corridor to service the George Bush Library, Special Events Center, and Kyle Field. From
Kyle Field turn south down Wellborn to service Amtrak. At this point the Interurban
could turn around and ride the same track or head east down George Bush and north
down Texas to complete the route.

8) Funding,and or financing for laying track and electrification of the proposed route.
9) Track completed and electrification in place. Fares and operation procedures must be
set before service begins.
10) Service begins for the restored 1910 Bryan-College Station Interurban.
I spoke to John Landrum, a former student working at the McKinney Avenue Transit
Authority in Dallas. He seems enthusiastic about restoring the Interurban Trolley. He
would like for our committee to tour his streetcar facilities in Dallas. Some points he
stressed were that the line should be electrified (The Bryan- College Interurban was
gasoline-powered from 1910-1915. From 1915-1923 the line was electrified). He said he
powers the entire operation, barn and streetcars, for under $1000 per month. His research
has found that trolley routes are viewed as infrastructure by citizens and businesses. The
line adds an element of stability to the community as the routes and schedules are
established.

�.1Note to CSHPC from Gregory W. Keith •
February 7, 1994 ^ �-

Enclosed is an article from USA Today. It confronts the problems with the -
College Football Hall of Fame. The issues it brings up could be solved by a Black
College Football Hall of Fame at Prarieview Texas A&M, however, that is another
proposal for another day. This article spawned an idea for a Southwest Conference
Hall of Fame Museum. I believe that there is a SWC Hall of Fame already, but not a
museum. Even if there is a museum, it's not promoted very well.
The best idea is to expand the museum to include all of the SWC - academics,
history, research, student escapades, famous alumni, mascots, architecture, etc.
Sports would be just one area of interest.
I've always thought College Station should be a "museum town." My home
town, Beaumont, is crowded with museums. If Beaumont can sustain this many
museums, so can College Station. We have already discussed the appropriateness of
a Texas Agricultural and Mechanical Museum in College Station.
The College Football Hall of Fame recently moved to South Bend, Indiana,eft
the home of Notre Dame. I thought this museum would thrive in College Station, but to
my knowledge there was no contact from CS to the Hall when it moved from Canton,
Ohio. The proximity of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Waco, and Austin would make
CS an ideal site. 4
Texas A&M and College Station should send a proposal to the SWC
Commissioner, Steve Hatchell. As stated earlier, if a museum already exists, it should
be relocated, improved, and expanded at College Station - much the same way as the
CFHOF was moved from Canton to South Bend. The idea for a museum will still be
viable if the SWC merges, dissolves, or Texas A&M joins another conference (SEC or
Big 8). Texas A&M was still an important part of SWC history even if they leave the
conference.
In the sports section, for example, many athletes would be honored. These
include John David Crow, Doak Walker, Earl Campbell, Sammy Baugh, Andre Ware,
Bucky Richardson, Eric Metcalfe, Barry Foster, Barn Morris, Mike Singletary, and
Trevor Cobb. This is just to name a few football players. Many others would be
honored from basketball, baseball, track, volleyball, swimming, etc. This does not
even include the other areas of interest. Schools that are no longer part of the SWC
(Oklahoma A&M [Presently OSUj, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Southwestern) would be
included for their contributions in their time. The conference was established in 1914
and has a rich history.
Let's discuss some ideas at our March meeting.
