So it never was?

The question is why didn't A&M allow women?

You're using the military school 'angle' to explain why there were no women, which in turn you use to 'explain' why enrollment was so low.

LSU has been a military institution longer than A&M, yet didn't seem to suffer from the same 'problems' as our Texas neighbors.

But to answer your question, 1906 was the first year women enrolled as freshmen at LSU, the same year the law school opened.

ETA: Two years later LSU won the national championship in football.

What problems did we have? We decided to shift the identity and mission of the school. You would have to ask the administrators from pre 1960 why we didn't allow women as I was born many years after the change was made and never had the opportunity to discuss the matter with them
