The year I was a college student at Texas State College for Women was 1956-57. I invited an Aggie from Comanche to be my date. His name was Gayle McNutt. I think the dance was in Denton but it might have been in Dallas.
A&M and TSCW were brother and sister schools because they were "land grant colleges". The United States granted land to every state for a college for women and a college for men. I was able to attend TSCW for a semester for $297.00. That included a dorm room and meals, books and tuition. I had a job at the alumni office which paid for my pocket money.
I went to a land grant college, also. It was years before I looked that up to find out what it meant. It was co-ed, however.
