Mystery Solved...Hamer Tech??

I received an e-mail inquiry the other day asking if I knew anything about Hamer College.  The individual saw an old tin in an antique store covered with colorful pennants...including one for Hamer.

I've learned a couple of things over the past decade of trying to come up with a relatively comprehensive list of colleges...#1...just when you think you found them all, another one appears....and, #2...Google search is amazing!

Thanks to the Google News, I found a column by Denver Howard in the January 22, 1999 issue of The Bryan Times with the explanation.
