Agricultural and Mechanical, originally, but today the letters no longer explicitly stand for anything. When Texas A&M was opened on Oct. 4, 1876 as the state's first public institution of higher education, it was called the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, or "A&M" for short. When the institution gained university status in 1963, the "A&M" representation was incorporated into the official name in deference to the institution's history and rich traditions. Note that A&M has no periods, no spaces, but has an ampersand.”
