Every Aggie has a home away from home in the Memorial Student Center, Texas A&M’s student union. However, this facility is unique because it is also a memorial. After the world wars, former students wanted to build a memorial to honor all of the Aggies that had lost their lives during battle—and at the same time, the students wanted to build a student center. The 纪念学生中心 — or the MSC, as it is known on campus — was built and dedicated on 鼓起 Day (April 21) 1951 to all of the Aggies that have lost their lives in wars past, present, or future.
在MSC的前面,有55种树木环绕辛普森钻场兑现了55个农学生,给了他们生活在第一次世界大战。此外,在前面的走廊上,有显示表彰八个农学生二战期间谁担任并获得荣誉勋章国会。
The MSC also houses three art galleries, multiple eating facilities, a bookstore, a bank, piano practice rooms, and The Flag Room. The Flag Room, also known as the “living room of Texas A&M,” is a place where students often gather to study, meet friends to eat, have meetings, or just to take a nap between classes.
由于MSC是有生命的纪念,那些进入大楼被要求脱掉帽子。那些在外面散步都不愿走在周围的设施草外,也可作为对于堕落农学生的标志。
