    HONORING THE 130TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF TEXAS COLLEGE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. NATHANIEL MORAN

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 8, 2024

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Texas College in Tyler, 
Texas commemorating its 130th anniversary.
  Founded in 1894, Texas College was formed by ministers of the 
Christian Methodist Episcopal Church to educate African-American 
students excluded from the university system of Texas at the time.
  Since its eventual charter in 1907, Texas College has aimed to form 
the next generation in theology, music, teaching and commercial 
training as well as agricultural and mechanical sciences.
  Today, Texas College inspires intellectual, spiritual, moral, and 
social development, empowering graduates to engage in life-long 
learning, leadership, and service. For generations, the college has 
formed upright, intelligent citizens who honor God through their 
knowledge, work, and families.
  I am proud to see the many accomplishments that Texas College has 
made since its inception. I am equally grateful to have Texas College 
as an integral part of the Tyler community and broader East Texas 
region.
  I look forward to another 130 years of success from the faculty and 
staff at Texas College as they celebrate their anniversary this month.

                          ____________________
