Grubbs enlisted the citizens of Arlington in a campaign for legislation to make Arlington's col- lege a state vocational school. The cam- paign successfully ended on March 26, 1917, when Governor james Ferguson signed the bill creating the two-year junior college which was to be a part of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col- lege of Texas system. The Grubbs Vocational College prop- erty consisted of the Carlisle Military Academy's ten acres in addition to 100 acres contributed by the Texas A8zM system. M. L. Williams was appointed dean and served in that capacity throughout the school's operation. During Grubbs' first year as a state institution the enrollment was 66, with a faculty of 14. The school's curricular emphasis was in the areas of agricul- ture, mechanical arts and industry-re- lated fields. By 1923, courses in pre- engineering, business administration, vocational carpentry and accounting had been added. In that year, 240 stu- dents Were enrolled.
