According to scholar ___________________, "In some ways Rudder was the most unlikely of candidates to bring about many of the changes at Texas A&M. He was from the south, imbued with military traditions and values, and was, for all intents and purposes, a product of the 19th century. But Rudder was a person most responsible for the admission of women and minorities and ending compulsory military training at the school. Not necessarily because of his ideological beliefs as a crusader, but because he knew it to be the right and necessary step to attain particular goals."
