In 1889, William Leonidas Mayo founded East Texas Normal College to provide Northeast Texas residents with opportunities for higher education. The University has since evolved from "Old ET" to join the Texas A&M University System, but Mayo's creed of "ceaseless industry, fearless investigation, unfettered thought, and unselfish service to others" still lives on in the lives of A&M-Commerce students and alumni.
