    二、德克薩斯A&M大學(xué)的歷史
    Texas A&M opened its doors in 1876 as the state's first public institution of higher learning. Our origins, however, are much humbler: we owe our existence to the Morrill Act, approved by the United States Congress on July 2, 1862. This act provided for donation of public land to the states for the purpose of funding higher education whose "leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and mechanic arts."
    The State of Texas agreed to create a college under the terms of the Morrill Act in November 1866, but actual formation didn't come until the establishment of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas by the Texas state legislature on April 17, 1871. A commission created to locate the institution accepted the offer of 2,416 acres of land from the citizens of Brazos County in 1871, and instruction began in 1876. Admission was limited to white males, and, as required by the Morrill Act, all students were required to participate in military training.
    德克薩斯A&M大學(xué)成立于1876年，是德克薩斯州第一所公立高等學(xué)府。不過，起初的時候，學(xué)校要卑微得多。我們的歷史可追溯到1862年7月2日，當時美國國會通過了《莫里爾法》。莫里爾法主張為各州捐地，在各州成立農(nóng)業(yè)和機械大學(xué)。根據(jù)了莫里爾法，這類學(xué)校不排斥其他科學(xué)和古典學(xué)科，包括軍事戰(zhàn)術(shù)。
    1866年11月，德克薩斯州同意根據(jù)莫里爾法成立一所學(xué)院。但是，正式成立要等到1871年4月17日。1871年4月17日，州議會成立了德州農(nóng)機學(xué)院。學(xué)院選址委員會隨后成立，并于1871年接受了布拉索斯縣人民捐贈的2416英畝土地。1876年開始動工。成立之后，學(xué)院只招白人男生。并且根據(jù)莫里爾法，所有學(xué)生都需要參加軍訓(xùn)。
