About The Award
James Wishart Williams was born on September 13, 1895, in Hamilton, Texas. The son of native Southerners, he graduated from Hamilton High School in 1913, and went on to attend the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas from 1913 to 1919, with two one-year interruptions. He graduation in 1919 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering; however, he is considered part of the class of 1918. He served in the United States Army from November 1917 to February 1919, and was discharged with the rank of Second Lieutenant.

Mr. Williams was well known for his modesty, his thinking in terms of other people, and his work ethic. Never one to boast about himself or his accomplishments, he was nevertheless named as an elder and treasurer of his Lakeview church. He enjoyed an outstanding life and career that was enhanced by his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Mr. Williams passed away in Dallas on October 14, 1970.

In his honor, the Dallas A&M Club began a custom that recognizes the ideals and integrity that Mr. Williams personified. The Jimmy Williams Distinguished Service Award is presented to the Dallas area person who has demonstrated commitment to career and family, contributions to the local community, and devotion to Texas A&M University.

The Jimmy Williams Distinguished Service Award enables the Dallas A&M Club to acknowledge and celebrate the success, dedication, and contributions of not only one of its own, but also of Texas A&M University and all that it represents.
