Traditions of Aggieland

These tall iconic Aggie boots belonged to Mr. William V. Vaughn '43 and are marked with the words and date "Hollick's Sons Makers" and "8/4/42" inside. Hollick's has been manufacturing Aggie boots since 1891.

On April 21, 1946, more than 100 Aggie soldiers returned to the island of Corregidor to call the Muster for lives lost during the war. This flag is one of eight Texas flags held by Aggies in the now famous photograph taken that day.

The Ross Volunteer Company formed in 1887 as the Scott Volunteers. The ceremonial uniform is an all-white dress uniform including this hat while company officers carry sabers and wear red sashes.

The first time the Yell Leaders were documented wearing all white was in 1915, which was also the year they donned maroon “letter” sweaters featuring a large maroon “T." This one belonged to Dr. Joe E. West '54.

The last everyday collar worn by Reveille II.

The first Aggie ring was made in the late 1800s and, by 1899, became similar to the Aggie ring worn today. This ring belonged to Earl S. Middlebrook, Class of 1889, and is the oldest-known Aggie ring in existence.
