To the men and women ol AUSTIN COLLEGE PAST, PRESENT, futute ■ FOREWORD S’ C uring the presidency of Dr. ( I I Clyce, the average enrollment ' J was 365 students and a teach- ing staff of 18. Luckett Hall, Thompson Hall, Y. M. C. A. Building, Power House, and Sherman Hall were the only buildings on the campus. In 1924 Austin College celebrated its Diamond Jubilee with Dr. Tom Mar- shall as the Commencement speaker. That same year, twenty L. L. D. degrees, fourteen D. D. degrees, and seven Litt. D. degrees were awarded. In 1930 Texas Presbyterian College merged with Austin College, and their grad- uates were counted among alumnae of Austin College. On 1931 Dr. Tucker became ____ I President of Austin College. ' J The college was low on fin- ances and George Landolt was hired as Business Manager to endeavor to solve the financial problems which had grown out of the depression. There ensued a time when there was a large amount of bartering of produce, horses, cows, pigs, etc., among the students and faculty in the handling of accounts. A drive was made and completed in the 30’s, to redeem by the college and friends of the college, all of the bonds. During this same period an unsuccess- ful effort was made to unite Trinity and Austin College. r. Guerrant became acting President of Austin College in 1943. Since he has become president, seven buildings have been built. These include: Paul Coffin Dormitory for Women, Field House, Infirmary, Hughey Memorial Gym, Snack Bar, Music Building, and the Administration Building. In the past four years there has been an average enrollment of six hundred students, and a teaching staff of around sixty. H The early 40's show an increasing number of social organizations along with the liter- ary and scholastic organizations. The Alpha Delta Chi Sorority and the Phi Sigma Alpha Fraternity were the first evidences of social organizations. Also, students from different sections of Texas organized clubs. In the past four years, an almost complete transition has taken place in the organizations and their purposes. The majority of the organizations are strictly social, and in ad- dition departmental organizations have been formed. For example, the Business Admin- istration Club, the Future Teachers of Am- erica, and the Sociology Club. Maybe this is evidence that we are becoming more social minded, rather than literary. On the other hand, it might be that our organizations are to some extent furthering our knowledge as well as giving opportunities for social contacts. Sherman Hall Sherman Hall was constructed in 1914 to replace the Main Building which was destroyed by fire. The people of Sherman contributed largely toward its erection. This is a three-story brick structure housing the college auditorium and the college library. Basketball Kitchen of Arts and Engineering Arts and Engineering Building is a rwo-story building used by the Art Department and engineer drafting classes. A half-basement is used by the classes in dramatics in stage setting and set designing. Biology Laboratory Y.M.CA. Building was constructed in 1911 through the efforts of Dr. D. F. Eagleton. This is a three-story structure, the third floor of which is in temporary' use as a dormitory for women students. The basement floor contains the Kangaroom, college recreational room, and the college bookstore. Just east of this building is the College Student Union building. 'Y’ BUILDING Luckett Hall Luckett Hall was erected in 1908. This is the men's dormitory, and will comfortably accommodate one hundred and twenty-five students. The College dining room is located in the basement of this building. This dormitory has recently been completely renovated and remodeled. Thompson Hall Thompson Hall is a three-story brick structure built in 1931. It contains science classrooms and laboratories. The third floor is used by the Department of Physics. The basement and first floor are used exclusively by the Department of Chemistry. Hughey Memorial Gym Hughey Memorial Gym was constructed in 1949 and occupied for the first time in the Spring semester of 1950. It contains facilities for all kinds of recreation and offices for the members of the physical education department. ADMINISTRATION W. N. Northcott Vice-President Even though Mr. Northcott has only been here a short time, he has made a place in the hearts of the students and people who are closely associated with Austin College. No better person could have been found to rep- resent Austin College throughout Texas and Oklahoma than the gracious and friendly Vice-President in charge of Public Relations. John R. Clarke, Jr., B.

James Bolling Moorman, Litt. D. Dean In 1921 Dr. Moorman came to Austin College as a Professor of Biology.
