He presented a collection of 10 Aggie class rings to TAMU in January 1970, which date back to 1889. He dropped out due to health reasons and returned to finish his degree in 1903 with a degree in Civil Engineering. He was in the football team for both times at TAMC and went on to help the Aggies “Saw varsities horns off” with the first defeat against the University of Texas in 1902. Josh Sterns’ civil engineering career spanned work in railroad maintenance of over 1,000 miles of track in Texas.
