Texas A&M

Texas A&M University (usually just A&M, occasionaly TAMU), formerly the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, is an accademy location. It was founded in the 1876 as the first public college in Texas. It has huge military history, providing more commisioned officers to the United States Armed Forces than any other college other than United States military academies. It also was the first school to experiment successfuly with cloning animals. As it is in Texas, the state where if at least one county does not hit temperatures of 100 or greater during the summer something is WRONG, it is air conditioned.Indeed!
