A thin, proud Aransas Pass science teacher is responsible for providing A&M with both verses of the “Spirit of Aggieland,” one verse of which has seldom been heard since it was written in the 1920’s.
The man’s name is Marvin H. Mimms, who, while attending A&M in the late 1920’s, decided, “We only play Texas University once a year, so why should we sing about them in the War Hymn when we’re playing TCU or Baylor?”
During the vacation months following his junior year, Mimms worked in his home town of Marlin, Tex. Gradually a song began to form in his mind.
