Issue date: 6/25/09 Section: Opinion

I agree that change and progress are necessary to better ourselves, and that we should never be content with where we are. That being said, we do already create great graduates and have the Aggie Network to back us. I think we should be working toward bettering all parts of campus, but we also need to be careful that we are not pushing forward too forcefully and losing sight of those parts of Texas A&M that are not quantifiable and will never be reflected in a college ranking system. These very things are what I love about being an Aggie and are what make us the Aggie family that will do anything for one another. Our roots and heritage as an agricultural and mechanical college should never be lost, as they, combined with Aggie military service, are indeed what made this place so unique and special in the first place. I thank and respect every service man and woman that has graduated from our fine institution and hope that Texas A&M continues to produce the finest U.S. military officers.
