Muster was first held in 1883 when Aggies met on
June 26 to "live over again our college days, the victories
and defeats won and lost upon drill
ground and classroom". Let every alumni answer a roll call,
"wrote the former students.
The early meetings were usually parties
and banquets held during the annual commencement activities.
As the years evolved, Muster is
observed on April 21 (
who have passed on. During the
ceremony some living comrade answers "here" when roll call for the
absent is read.

large groups of Aggies.

traditions. Muster is symbolic of the great
loyalty which binds Aggies to their
school and to each other.
