篝火纪念馆

从它的成立于1907年作为废钢堆到越熟悉的垂直日志,Fightin'dexas Aggie Bonfire象征着每个Aggie的“燃烧欲望”,以击败足球大学的德克萨斯大学。每年吸引30,000到70,000人,以观看燃烧,篝火成为了aggie精神的深层和独特的Camaraderie的象征。

Bonfire burned each year through 1998, with the exception of 1963. That year Bonfire was built but torn down in a tribute to President John F. Kennedy who was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963. The second time in A&M's history that Bonfire did not burn was almost exactly 92 years after the first Bonfire due to its collapse on Nov. 18, 1999 at 2:42 a.m. The collapse claimed the lives of 12 Aggies and injured 27 others.

五年后,篝火纪念馆专用于1999年的篝火的确切位置。

The Bonfire Memorial embodies many layers of meaning associated with the Aggie Spirit — a deep sense of belonging, a strong spirit of teamwork, and leadership and an enduring sense of tradition that unites thousands. The 篝火纪念馆 celebrates the tradition, history, and spirit of Texas A&M and the dedication of those involved in the tragic collapse of the 1999 Bonfire. Uniting Aggies past, present and future, the Memorial is comprised of three design elements: The Tradition Plaza marks the entrance to the memorial and reflects on the activities that bring Aggies together. Spirit Wall separates the outer world from the intimate experience of the memorial, while the Last Corps Trip Wall recites the poem traditionally read prior to the lighting of Bonfire each year.

历史步行 描绘了1999年崩溃前90年的篝火。花岗岩时间表由89个花岗岩石头组成,布置在南北线,始于1909年,第一年篝火在校园内建造。每个石头的琥珀色光和凹口回忆起11月的篝火的火焰焕发。 1963年在时间表中休息,表示约翰福的年度。肯尼迪被暗杀,篝火没有燃烧的唯一一年。在他们发生的岁月的时间里,在时间表上记住了三个以前的篝火相关的死亡。

灵戒指 环绕于1999年篝火的网站,代表了aggie精神,使个人融入大于自己的东西。十二门户网站面向崩溃的人的家乡。来自不同的背景,社区和信仰,这些学生融入了这一领域,以及他们的许多同伴庆祝aggie精神。二十七石带青铜镶嵌代表受伤学生连接这些门户网站来完成圈子,回忆起aggie戒指和aggies的戒指,他们重新庆祝篝火传统年复一年。每个青铜元件象征着AGGIE,环本身代表每个将每个键连接到AGGIE精神的常见键。踩到了圆圈上的超大网关之一,游客象征性地填充了十二个动作之一的空白,体现了第12个人的精神。

纪念馆是一个尊重,纪念和敬畏的地方,体现了篝火象征着的aggie精神的持久性质。

aggies记得

We will never forget the fallen. We will never forget the 12 that lost their lives on that ill-fated day. The Bonfire Memorial stands and shines in remembrance, but also as a symbol of community within Texas A&M. As a place of reflection, the 篝火纪念馆 continues the ties that Bonfire once had.
