I know of one Texas A&M College graduate who won the Medal of Honor.Staff Sergeant George D. Keathley, B Company, 338th Infantry, 85th Infantry Division---Class of 1937---was awarded it for action on Mt. Altuzzo, Italy, on Sept 14, 1944. It was awarded posthumously. The Keathley Dorm at Texas A & M University is named after S/Sgt George Dennis Keathley. Just recently, the school refurbished his plaque and a display of medals in honor of him.
The Texas Pledge:"Honor the Texas Flag of 1836; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."According to The Handbook of Texas Online, "In 1933 the legislature passed a law establishing rules for the proper display of the flag and providing for a pledge to the flag: "Honor the Texas Flag of 1836; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible." The pledge erroneously referred to the 1836 national flag, known as David G. Burnet's flag, instead of the Lone Star Flag. Senator Searcy Bracewell introduced a bill to correct this error in 1951, but the legislature did not delete the words "of 1836" until 1965."The pledge from 1965 till Jun 15, 2007 was:"Honor the Texas Flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."House Bill 1034 amended the pledge again with House Bill 1034, which went into effect on Jun 15, 2007 to read:"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible."

Baylor University in Waco was founded in 1845 and is considered the oldest university in Texas, as it still operates under its original charger and name. Southwestern University in Georgetown, which opened in 1873, is often contested as the oldest. However, it was founded by the Methodist Church and derived its heritage from four earlier colleges: Rutersville University, the first college chartered in Texas, 1840; Wesleyan College, 1844; McKenzie College, 1860; and Soule University, 1856, all of which closed before Southwestern was founded.
