the rivalry's revivalHowever, after consideration with that committee, Texas A&M President Mark Welsh announced on Tuesday that the bonfire would not be returning.
"Therefore, if students weren’t organizing, leading, and building the Bonfire, then they didn’t think we should bring it back. The committee was also clear in its position that the only legally viable option for the return of the campus Bonfire was for it to be an engineer-designed, contractor-built project. After careful consideration, I decided that Bonfire, both a wonderful and tragic part of Aggie history, should remain in our treasured past.
In the light of that, Welsh made the decision to bring the bonfire back. The Aggies will hold the a Bonfire Remembrance ceremony on Nov. 18 at 2:42 a.m. on campus to honor the victims.
