Early History of Texas University and its A and M Relationship
The article surveys Texas history from 1837 to 1934, tracing efforts to establish a State University and the Agricultural and Mechanical College. It details legislative drafts, debates, and compromises, including Section 48, and the long interplay between University and A&M, their fund sharing, and a 1934 income-split agreement between Boards.
