PAYING HOMAGE TO HISTORY

PRESIDENT DWIGHT J. FENNELL DELIVERS THE FOUNDERS’ CONVOCATION ADDRESS

Texas College formally commemorated the 131st Anniversary of the College's founding in 1894. With alumni, students, faculty, staff, and members of the community gathered in the Gus F. Taylor Gymnasium, the convocation rightfully paid homage to Texas College's history. "As we sit and experience today’s program, I want us for a moment to reflect about what it may have been like 131 years ago," noted President Dwight J. Fennell. "...when people came to this property for an education, because they felt it was a safe place to pray; it provided for a safe and comfortable environment to socialize; it was a place that inspired hope and vision; and, it offered an environment for preparing for a better and bright future with receipt of an education."
