Description
Several projects at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A&M University) were undertaken with New Deal assistance. “An extensive paving program was also started with New Deal funds of $10,500.” Begun in 1934, this most likely involved the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (F.E.R.A.).
