OUR NAME:
In Ancient Greece, philosophers gathered in the agora (or, marketplace) to exchange ideas and
engage in debates. Agora, the online undergraduate journal of humanities at Texas A&M University, also
provides a forum for the lively discussion of scholarly topics. We hope it will be a marketplace of
ideas worth coming to again and again. The picture located in the top corner of each page is a cutting
from Rembrandt's painting, "The Scholar," signifying our interest in cultivating a new generation
of scholars in the humanities.
