The Agricultural and Mechanical College opened on October 4, 1876, with 106 students and a faculty of six, headed by Thomas S. Gathright. The school began as an all-male military institution with required participation in the Corps of Cadets. The school developed a strong military aura. Texas A&M regularly commissioned more officers than any other institution, including the service academies, and its students have achieved an outstanding record of military service in all of the wars fought since the Spanish-American War.
