Passing your ring through the eternal flame is a time-honored tradition at West Texas A&M University. A defining moment in history took place in 1914 when the original Old Main and only building on campus, burned to the ground. Two years later in 1916, the present building was dedicated with glorious fanfare. Since that time, the flame has been an important symbol of West Texas A&M University. Representing the burning desire and quest for knowledge, the flame can be seen on the University's logo and seal.
As you watch this video, understand that your ring has symbolically been passed through the flame as a sign of your lifelong attachment to our WT. You will then turn your ring out to face the world, armed with the knowledge and confidence provided by an outstanding education at WTAMU.
