Lt. Gen. James Hollingsworth Dies

RIP.

Lt. Gen. James Hollingsworth, the most decorated officer in the history of Texas A&M University, died Tuesday in San Antonio at the age of 91.

Hollingsworth was born March 24, 1918, near Sanger, Texas. He attended the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas from 1936 to 1940 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture.

Upon graduation, Hollingsworth was commissioned into the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant. This marked the beginning of a military career that spanned 36 years (1940–1976).

Hollingsworth was honored by A&M in 1980 when he was named Distinguished Alumnus, and again in 1994 when he was inducted into the Corps of Cadets Hall of Honor.

  3. Why is this article repeated?  It’s just two copies of the same info.  And it’s very incomplete.  Considering the very few number of statues at Texas A&M (Ross, Gill, Hollingsworth), there must be more of a reason that General Hollingsworth has one there.
