A Dauntless Spirit
The Creation of a Dauntless Spirit
Once firmly established, Texas A&M continued to grow until by 1912 the enrollment stood at 1200. It was during this year that disaster struck with the burning of the old mess hall, followed in a few months by a terrible fire which razed the Main Building, destroying most of the early records of the College. Sbisa Hall and the Academic Building rose in their place, symbolizing the dauntless spirit of the institution to continue despite its setbacks. Texas Aggies have always been known for their fighting spirit.
