All I have to say is if this is Dr. Gates it has been great having you as a president and I was honored to get my diploma from you this past saturday. Good Luck with the new job.

Whoop for Dr. Gates!
I could not have hoped for a university president who loved the same things I love about A&M, who fought for and believed in A&M so fully. And who cared about us enough to even hang out here and listen to our ramblings!! Thank you, Dr. Gates, and with the greatest sincerity I wish you the best in the challenges you face now for all of us. Come on back whenever you can.
Just to post, and/or repost, a few of my favorite Gates quotes:
Sept. 9, 2005
State of the University address to A&M Academic Convocation
(speaking of first accepting, then turning down the post of director of national intelligence)
"I then went for a late night walk around campus. Through the Quad, by the Evans Library, past Sbisa and around the Northside dorms, back by the YMCA building, and finally to Academic Plaza and the statue of Sul Ross. I sat down on a bench there, as thoughts raced through my mind of Ross and Rudder, of Silver Taps and Muster, of the Corps, of the incredible students and faculty and staff here, and of all that is underway to make A&M greater. I realized, sitting there alone in the dark, brushing away tears, how much I had come to love Texas A&M, all it stands for, and all it can become. And I knew at that moment I could not leave.
"I called Andy Card at Camp David at 8:00 the next morning, and told him I had to tell the President no."

"I think you can take this to the bank: the annual meeting with Tech will not move to Dallas as long as Gates is President of Texas A&M. He has said not only that college games should be played on college campuses and that A&M students would be the losers, but I'm told he has said in private he would never agree to being locked into an annual competition that relgated us to a permanent second class status behind tu and Oklahoma. So, despite all the speculation on this board, don't underestimate one tough SOB standing up for what he thinks is right."

Addressing Midnight Yell Practice
“I have only one request of you as Aggies, and that’s to never forget the importance of duty and honor and country. I love you; I'll miss you; God bless Texas A&M. (voice breaking) Bless you, and God bless America. And beat the hell outta Nebraska!”
