Scope and content
This collection consists of Texas A&M College's yell books from 1904 to 1932.
These yell books from A&M College's early history was the start of the school's tradition of having yell leaders, who led yells at football games. Some books feature yells that are no longer in use, and older versions of A&M yells used today.
The books were created in Bryan-College Station, Texas for the sole purpose of being used by A&M College students at football games. Their layout and designs changed throughout the decades along with the advertisements from local establishments.
Most of this collection was owned by former students, so you may see names, doodles, and in some cases homemade yells.
