An Aggie Abroad
In its August, 2001 story about Fish Camp at Texas A&M, the school newspaper introduced a freshman from Fort Worth named Nicholas Anthis. Nicholas, a biochemistry and genetics major, was getting his first taste of life as an Aggie.
College life at A&M must have agreed with Nicholas as he was named today as one of 32 Rhodes Scholars for 2005. (The linked story was obviously not edited by a Texan, as it seems to place Nicholas as a student at "Fort Worth A&M.")
Nicholas is the only honoree from a Texas school and one of only two from the Big 12 Conference (the other is from the University of Kansas).
As an old Ag, I have just one thing to say to this young Ag: whoop! ;-)
And I was a Rote Scholar...if I couldn't memorize it for regurgitation on a test, then it didn't get learned.
And a lot didn't get learned!

I was gratified to see that a proportionately high number of service academies were repersented.
I was nominated years ago as a Rode Scholar.....nearly rode out of Trinity U.
