Spanish-American War Memorial
Erected in 1953, the Spanish-American War Memorial honors the Texas A&M student officers and faculty who volunteered to serve the United States in the Spanish-American War, which endured from 1898-1902.
Intentionally designed to be simple and understated, the rectangular, 6-foot-long grey granite structure resembling a headstone sits on the north side of the Corps Plaza. The cross and detailed seals on both sides of the memorial pay homage to religion and present a visualization of whom the memorial honors.
