History of the University of Texas at Arlington (1917–1965)

1327:. A proposal made by four members of the A&M board of directors would have renamed ASC "Texas A&M University at Arlington", more closely integrated it into the A&M system, created master's programs in eleven fields (including seven in engineering) that would be directed by the College Station graduate school dean, and shared A&M facilities and faculty with the graduate programs at ASC. In the words of Saxon, A&M administrators and board of directors members "were unprepared–and totally surprised–at the firestorm of protests and hostility these proposals generated". President Woolf observed that the A&M board did not ask for feedback or input from ASC administrators on the proposal, Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce member Marvin C. Nichols deemed it a public relations failure, and the reaction of the ASC community and Arlington residents was largely negative. The ASC student government passed a resolution against the A&M system proposal and formed a "Save Our School Committee" to oppose it. 1298:. However, President Woolf received angry letters and hate mail from segregationists in the area. Approximately 25–30 students at ASC were African Americans in fall 1962, out of a student body of over 9,000. One of those first African American students was Jesse Oliver, who had been denied admission on account of their race just the previous spring. By the late 1960s, African American students accounted for about 1–2% of enrollment every year. Not all components of ASC were fully integrated in September 1962, however. Athletics teams were integrated in 1963 and dormitories were not integrated until 1965, at which point ASC was deemed "fully integrated". However, even after "full" integration of the college, only 14 of ASC's 61 academic clubs, social clubs, fraternities, and other organizations had been integrated. Similarly, ASC did not prioritize hiring African American faculty or administrators during the mid-1960s. Unlike at some other Southern schools, such as the 1429: 665: 1311: 129: 1266: 853: 1170: 803: 1014: 927: 390: 1376: 364: 320: 30: 1338:, and members of the Dallas and Fort Worth chambers of commerce in an attempt to alleviate their fears. However, Rudder failed to commit to resolving any of ASC's three biggest concerns: how quickly it could offer graduate programs, its need for additional funds for building construction, and its role and level of autonomy in a restructured A&M system. Rudder did promise that neither he nor the A&M board would prevent ASC from leaving the system if it desired. This meeting served to polarize the two increasingly divided factions on the ASC campus. The first favored remaining in a modified A&M system, which was supported by President Woolf, the deans at ASC, and many 635:

However, the findings of Griffenhagen and Associates were ultimately unpopular across the state and had little impact on the college. One effect the 1932 report did have was in reducing the number of classes NTAC taught with 10 or fewer students enrolled in them. In 1932, when the report was issued, 36.1% of the college's classes fell into this category. By 1940, just 7% did, which was the lowest such figure at any state college or university in Texas. After an aborted attempt to close the school surfaced in the state legislature in 1935, NTAC would never again face a serious threat of closure or termination of state support.

It postponed deciding on an in-depth study that could take up to 15 months was conducted, effectively delaying ASC's senior-college ambitions. The TCHE released its findings in December 1958, recommending to the Texas Legislature that ASC be made a senior college starting in September 1959 with baccalaureate-level degree programs in business administration as well as for numerous liberal arts and science programs. The location and size of ASC were key reasons for the TCHE's decision. 811:

comparison, NTAC requested four new buildings and total funding of over $ 830,000. In addition to hosting the library, College Hall was also home to the NTAC Exchange Store (PX), which sold accessories, military uniforms, and school supplies. Much later, it would become home to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA)'s Honors College. A circular building on the south perimeter of Preston Hall was also built in 1928. Over the years, it would serve as a cattle showroom, an art studio, History Department offices, an art printing laboratory, and the UTA planetarium.

794:. While not immediately successful in obtaining four-year college status, NTAC supporters did succeed in convincing the A&M system and the state government to rename the school. Many supporters thought the name "North Texas Agricultural College" was limiting and confusing due to the word "agricultural", and the preferred choice of Arlington State College was made the official new name in the summer of 1949. Many of its supporters thought that such a move would enhance the college's prestige as well as the perceived value of its degrees. 548:. Upon beginning his tenure as dean in 1925, Davis inherited a campus in poor shape physically with a small student body and less than adequate faculty. After adopting the slogan "no dead-beats in faculty or student body", NTAC dismissed or witnessed the withdrawal of 102 out of 456 students in Davis's first year (1925–26). Similarly, by 1927–28, only 17 of the 40 faculty members he inherited in 1925 were still employed by NTAC. When hiring new faculty, Davis demonstrated his preference for young, energetic, and capable teachers. 1224:, tried without success to have ASC elevated to four-year college status. Three bills proposing such a change all failed to be voted upon by the state legislature in 1951, 1955, and 1957, respectively. The A&M board of directors was also reluctant to support ASC's aspirations to be a four-year school until 1958, when it committed to funding campus expansion in Arlington by selling the college's farm, which was located east of campus. In February 1957, Metroplex business leaders and Vandergriff addressed the 790:

Throughout the 1940s, the NTAC administration petitioned the Texas A&M University board of directors and the state government to upgrade it to a senior college, albeit without any success. Opposition came not only from Texas A&M (many NTAC alumni and supporters believed A&M feared the Arlington branch campus would eventually overtake it in both prestige and size) but also from local private schools Southern Methodist University and

On the eve of the signing of Senate Bill 401, President Woolf commented, "Arlington State College now becomes associated with a great university." In the assessment of historian Gerald Saxon, "the break between A&M and ASC was over money and status". The split between the two was ultimately satisfactory to both sides, underscored by an editorial in

1036:. Engineering majors nearly quadrupled from 445 to 1,635 between 1953 and 1956. Also during the 1950s, the agriculture and home economics programs experienced a noticeable decrease in students. As the college's administration came to realize this was part of a national trend, it ended the agriculture program in 1957 and the home economics program in 1959. During the 1950s, ASC offered students the ability to study for the first two years of a 1274:

1950s and early 1960s, the ASC administration refused to accept African American students, referring them to Prairie View A&M instead. In 1997, Dallas native Jesse Oliver recalled being offended at being referred to Prairie View when he applied for admission to ASC in spring 1962. He noted that ASC was a 20-minute drive from his home in Dallas, compared to Prairie View's campus being four hours away. As early as 1956, a poll conducted by

Among the greatest complaints of faculty members at the time were the low academic level and lack of intellectual engagement of many students. Faculty attempted to remedy this by improving faculty-student communication. Faculty also advocated for greater opportunities to research and write, graduate-level programs, a faculty forum, and a policy on 4299: 4260: 4094: 4053: 3911: 3845: 3730: 3578: 3403: 3350: 3261: 3208: 3068: 2927: 2764: 2695: 2640: 2539: 2486: 2448: 2300: 2222: 2184: 2134: 1984: 1944: 72:, NTAC survived major declines in enrollment and multiple attempts by the state government to close it. Beginning in 1937, there was a movement in Arlington to elevate NTAC to four-year college status, but this goal would not be realized for more than two decades. Student life during the NTAC era was vibrant, although there was a cultural split between the students who lived on campus and those who commuted for classes. 80:, and it grew to be the 5th largest state-supported college or university in Texas by 1959. During the 1950s, enrollment in courses in the arts and sciences, business, and engineering grew substantially. The college ended its agriculture program altogether in 1957. Between 1950 and 1965, ASC conducted a major building campaign that built 18 new buildings on campus for $ 14.225 million. On April 27, 1959, Texas governor 677:

The Davis administration tried to slow the decline in enrollment by recruiting more female students as well as male students under 18 years old. During the war, full-time faculty fell from 77 to 53, while those who remained on campus were required to take a

Furthermore, an innovative cooperative program partnering with local industries that NTAC developed based on a program at the 532:, the fact that it was no longer just a vocational institution, and its quickly growing enrollment. GVC dean Myron L. Williams continued to serve in the same capacity for NTAC until 1925. That year, Edward Everett Davis succeeded him, and Davis would ultimately serve the college as dean until 1946. Davis had been born in 1881 in 1475:. Although not emphasized by college presidents, the football program was heavily subsidized, as were other athletics programs at ASC. Fan support at football games was considerable through the end of the 1960s, with capacity crowds of 10,000 being common until the on-campus stadium was demolished and home games were moved to 372:

Other student activities during the period included a Students' Council, dances, performances, and lectures. Among the noted guest speakers on campus during this era were Texas folklorist 1494:, and Dashell Maines, who became the first woman to earn a varsity letter swimming on a men's collegiate team in Texas. Both a park and a street on the school's campus are named in honor of Russell. The mid-1960s additionally saw the creation of an intramural sports program at ASC, which included sports such as 360:. During the 1920–21 academic year, GVC had 411 students, by 1921–22 it had 680, and by 1922–23 it had reached 808 students. In 1918, there were no graduates from GVC, while there were only eight in 1919 and five in 1920. The number of graduates grew slowly to 12 in 1921, 13 in 1922, and finally to 23 in 1923. 1319:
