WEST TEXANS excel in paying proper tribute to the men, women,
and institutions which pioneered in the development of this
great section. West Texas State College through its many
agencies has been a leader in honoring the pioneer plainsmen and in pre-
serving evidences of their spirit and genius. The Panhandle-Plains Historical
Society museum on the campus is "Dedicated to the Pioneers."
WEST TEXAS STATE COLLEGE, too, pioneered as it brought learn-
ing, leadership, and visions of a richer life to the sons and
daughters of these Plains citizens. It was established by the State
of Texas to serve an area as Urge as the State of Illinois, at a time when
educational advantages had been beyond the reach of the people. From it went
thousands of well-prepared teachers, who in those early days took their places
beside the trail driver, the freighter, the rancher, the pioneer business man,
and the newly arrived farmer.
WEST TEXAS STATE COLLEGE began its existence as a junior
college, quickly changed to a standard s nior college of the first
rank, added graduate work, carried on its legislative mandate
to train teachers, met new demands by offering the degree of Bachelor of
Business Administration, and now, under authority of its Board of Regents
and urgent requests of the citizcns of this territory, has added general college
work to extend educational opportunities to all the high school graduates
of its section.
WcST TEXAS STATE COLLEGE through its products—the grad-
uates—has had a part in the building of every community in
West Texas and beyond. That it has pioneered well in its field
is shown by the fact that:
1. Four of its original faculty members have become college presidents.
2. Two of its alumni are now college presidents.
3. Its graduates are found on the faculties of Cornell, Syracuse, Cali-
fornia, Rice, Texas, College of the City of New York, Louisiana, Rutgers,
Ohio, and Missouri Universities and scores of other nationally known in-
stitutions.
4. West Texas State College erected the first museum building placed
on a college campus in Texas, assisted by Panhandle citizens. It was the
first institution of the kind in Texas to offer graduate work, to offer degrees
without teacher-training, to build a dormitory for girls, to build a dormitory
for boys, to establish cooperative dormitories for both girls and boys, to
build an outdoor swimming pool, to maintain and operate a golf course, to
build a dormitory for athletes and to establish an inter-urban bus line for
commuting (Amarillol students.
In other words, it is impossible to escapc the conclusion that West Texas
State College—the Panhandle State College for Panhandle students—is a
superior place for those who desire a college education.
