, The Tarleton library wa^ started
in 1901. At this time the' institu?
tion did not have money with which
to purchase books, but the officials
of |he college realized the urgent
neea for a library, President Bram-
l'ette announced to the people of
Stephenville that the students of
John Tarleton College -inust have
a library for reference-and re-
search w,ork. To establish a library^
he invited donations and on one
special occasion promised a liter-
ary p.rograna and Refreshments to
the people wlio would bring ,bpoks
to Tarietqri. Ab6ut 700 volume^
wQte contributed at this time,' but
many of them were 2iot such as
woijd be very helpful in a college
library, feijt the ' intentions , of the
donors were £oodl, At this time the
library was, located in one 6f the
class rooms. ,
The library continued to grow by
donations from friends of the in-'
stitution. Some of t^ie teachers
gaye books, and the board' of dir^c-
tors ~m^de" yeady'^ a|propr,i^tions.
lo the library fund' after' f904.'By
|905 the library had Mc^eased fo
qontain 2,5Q0 volumes, but it was
^till located irf one of the* class.,
fo'oms with a' faculty member in
charge.
In th^ fall 6f 1905 the third floor
was added to' the old administra-
tion' building. This allowed' anough
space for one room to be allbted to
the Jibrary. i A . student assistant
was employed at thia time to, take
charge, of the library which was
£pen, to, the students only ,a few
hours each day. Since tjiere was xno
special arrangement of the book's,
they did not circulate to the great-
est number of students.
When Tarleton became a state
school, the library was located in
the dormitory. Shortly after the
college became a part of the Texas
^Agricultural and Mechanical sys-
tem, the' library was designated
as a United States depository and
was entitled, to receive all: federal
publications.- An index was "made
of all publications of tlie United
States Department of Agriculture
arid of^the State Experiment Sta-
tions. The books' were 'classified
arid organized according to. the
Dewey Decimal System. A librar-
ian and1 a number of assistants
took charge of fthe library.
After the new Administration
Buil'diri^' was completed in l9i£,
the library was moved to one of
the rooms. At this time" the library
contained1 4,500 volumes, , ,,,
Aigain" the ^arleston - library - mov-
to_a; new homev When the ijew
SciencQ - Building*--was-. - Completed
.in 1938, the library .-was, given the
bottom floor,,The library occupies
this space tvjw. It has grown, and
changed from the smalt '700 vol-
ume library to' one of. the best and
most modern libraries in Texas.
According to the 1942' Texas Abna-
nad the John Tarleton Agricultur-
al College library is listed as the
largest junior college library in
T?exas; At the time of this report,
1941-1942, the library contained
23,000 volumes.! Most of the jun-
ior college libraries average about
7,500'volumes'.
Had it not heen for-the- numerous
friends of John 'Tarleton: !Colf6ge',
the physical, ^ppe^france of th§, col-
lege today E would have presented
quite a. diff^eht scene. To -the
thoughtfulnes's: of many, of -her
friends, Tarleton is indebted t for
mariy . of the - buildings which, are
still on the campus;
Before the girls in thfc. college
had a dormitory, they were forced
to secure accomodations in. private
homes throughout Stephenville.
Since the. number „ of hqmes avail-
able was limited, the college ex-
perienced difficulty in securing ac-
ceptable places, for the girl stu-
dents. The only answer to the room-
ing" problems Was the construction
of a girls' dormitory.
The building was made possible
by the gift of Mrs. Mary Corn-
Wilkerson. In' 1008 a'$20,000 two-
story brick structure was erected
near the old main' building which
was then located where' Home Eco-
nomics Building now stands^ This
new dormitory was complete and
modern in every respect. , -

equipped with, a'n^ assembly.-hall,

. In the same •year:1auot^r buildv
ing was provided thrpu^fi the, be?'
quest, of Mrs. ;M. J, vCi'aw;.*known
lovingly as Aunt Moiliev Mr. Mar-
shall Ferguson,and Jk G. George,
lawyers who had made John Tar-
letpn's ,will, suggested to' her that
Tarleton college had a great need
of,'additional financial ,help. She
cheerfully, made the splendid he-
quest which was used to .erect the
$50,000 Administration Building,
Although therold building was still
standing before the will was made,
its fram$ structure dids .not har-
monize with the-qther brick build-
ing on the1 campus.-• In 1915 the
Molly J, Crow. Administration,
Building was Complete^ . It con-
tained 13 class room^,- a librar-y,
offices, and an auditorium with a
seating capacity of 60p.
Through .donations pf .-many
friends Tarleton has, expanded .and
grown into the college it is today.
