Texas A&M ring
Purpose, design, and eligibility of the A&M ring
The Texas A&M Aggie ring (also simply Aggie Ring) is one of the various well-known symbols of Texas A&M University and a visible way to distinguish Aggies all over the world.[1] The Texas A&M ring was formally adopted in 1889, and its design has remained relatively unchanged since then. The only major change after the original design was a result of the renaming of the university from “Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas” to “Texas A&M University” in 1963. The current Aggie Ring was designed by E. C. Jonas in 1894.[2][3][4] The Aggie ring has distinct physical features, is surrounded by various unique traditions, and has specific requirements for eligibility.
