Andrew Carnegie, author of the Carnegie Technical Schools

Post-Civil War industrialists aggregated exceptional riches and some were excited to establish foundations in their names as a major aspect of altruism crusades utilizing bits of their incomprehensible riches.

Under weight from the lawmaking body, in 1911 the school started permitting ladies to go to classes amid the late spring semester. in the meantime, A&M started extending its scholarly interests with the foundation of the School of Veterinary Medicine in 1915.
