A Shakespearean Sonnet For the Investiture of Dr. Christopher Maynard As President of Texas A&M International University September 18, 2026 Here we seek for wisdom’s guiding light, Here we hope our studious energies Bring forth solutions, excellence, insight, Empowering all of our activities. Here we seek to make each other wise With reasoned dialogue, sound experiments, Old knowledge valued as discoveries arise, Wisdom refreshed by Socratic common sense. Our hope lives vigorous; our mission clear today Inspires our vision, our creativity, The promise of true learning; come what may, As our children face the future confidently, Let us be strong in this our new tradition, And fear no enemies of our common mission. R. W. Haynes Regents Professor
