GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
'Bridges drove into Commerce in his buggy' - link buggy.Commerce is a long section - consider splitting into a subsection under Curriculum?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism): 

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
This is looking excellent - just a couple of tiny quibbles but not dealbreaking. Well done. Aiken D 14:54, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, Aiken D! I've made the changes you suggest, which are certainly improvements. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help pass this article. Michael Barera (talk) 17:17, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that this article's name is exactly the same as this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_East_Texas_State_Normal_College), so is it possible we could put the years that both articles cover of this college's history to avoid confusion? (1889 - 1917 for this article and 1917 - 1923 for the other one) Blue Jay (talk) 01:41, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

The names are different, with the addition of the word "State" in the second article: "History of East Texas Normal College" vs. "History of East Texas State Normal College".
Also, the dates are clearly stated in the first sentence of each article:
The history of East Texas Normal College (ETNC) comprises the history of the university now known as Texas A&M University–Commerce from its foundation as a private normal college in 1889 to its acquisition by the State of Texas in 1917.
The history of East Texas State Normal College (ETSNC) comprises the history of the university now known as Texas A&M University–Commerce from when it was acquired by the State of Texas in 1917, to when it was renamed East Texas State Teachers College in 1923.
I think this addresses your concern. Michael Barera (talk) 20:21, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Ah, alright. Blue Jay (talk) 05:34, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
