Silver Taps To Honor One Aggie

The memory of a recently deceased Texas A&M student will be honored during the university’s solemn Silver Taps ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 6. 

Chimes from Albritton Bell Tower will play as Aggies gather in the plaza area in front of the Academic Building. Campus will be darkened and, at 10:30 p.m., the silence will be split by the slow, echoing cadence of the Ross Volunteers.

Following the firing of three volleys, Silver Taps will be played by six buglers three times--to the north, west and south--all to honor the life and memory of Anita V. Mantri '14, a medical student from Katy who died Nov. 10 as the result of automobile accident.

Free parking in the University Center Garage will be available between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. In case of rain or dangerous lightning, the ceremony will be moved to Duncan Dining Hall.
