The Nacogdoches University was char- tered by the Republic of Texas on February 3, 1845 as a co-educational institution to fulfill settlers ideals for higher education. The university was financed by public sub- scriptions and was probably the first non- sectarian institution in Texas. It opened in September, 1845. Marcus A. Montrose, an outstanding early Texas educator, was its first president. During the Civil War, it served as a hos- pital for Confederate soldiers and later was used by Federal regiments as their head- quarters. The university was once used as a Catho- lic School and also by the Milam Lodge. In 1904, it was deeded to Nacogdoches High School and was used until the 1930 s when it was condemned. It was restored as a museum in the 1960 s and is still located on the old Nacogdoches High School campus. Nacogdoches University i 1 10

A campus for all seasons The SFA campus has been called one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States. With each season comes a new display of nature s color. Fall brings rich autumn colors to campus as huge old trees all over campus lose their brightly colored leaves along sidewalks and paths. Spring brings the campus to full color with dogwood and azalea blossoms. These fragrant blossoms give SFA its most pic- turesque setting. During every season the pine trees stand tall and green, giving the campus an unusual beauty all year long. This beauty has drawn students as well as visitors to the university among the pines.

Austin Building Stephen F. Austin State University is part of the new Nacogdoches. It was estab- lished in 1921 by the Thirty-sixth Texas Legislature. The school officially opened on September 18, 1923. The main campus includes about 400 acres, which is part of the original homes- tead of Thomas J. Rusk. The University has 23 major instructional buildings and 19 dormitories. SFA ' s enrollment, which began with 158 students, has grown to average 10,000 dur- ing regular semesters and 3,500 during the two summer terms. For its first 15 years, the university offered only Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. It now grants 13 bacca- laurate degrees and emphasizes graduate study. The Austin Building houses the Admi- nistrative Offices which includes not only the people but the departments that make the school function. SFA offers a future to its students. The traditions and history of Nacogdoches cre- ate a setting where past and present meet and the future begins. 11
