BRITE CCLLECE First Claiwoom Addition to the campus was, ap- propriately, Brite College of the Bible, which was built in 1914, just three years after T. C. U. had moved to this campus. It is named for L. C. Brite, who provided funds for launching the college and erecting the building and who for 29 years was a trustee. His widow continues to serve as a trustee. l UHIVEHSITU CHCISTIHH CHURCH 3 is-71, - . V ining Wg.,--.,..f.'.-L 71. - - ---- I ,T I' N I K V -'nie'-url, - 1. ' ui.

It is the church home of many of the faculty and students, and it sponsors one of the most ac- tive srudent organizations, the Me- liorists. Built in 1935, this building is currently being enlarged to twice its present size.

The basketball team plays home conference games at Fort Worth's Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum, the golfers play at Colonial .Country Club, and only the tennis team has its home grounds near the Gym. Built in 1921, the Gym serves primarily as headquarters for physical education classes. A new 3750,000 Field House is listed among the urgent projects in the building program, and when it is completed, this building will be rehabilitated as a gym for women. . t, Af 9. 3 gp ff 221 ,r i W' r' :

IIHINIT IMIIEBMIGDIIRJIUIUJM The name of Dr. E. M. Wfaits is one of the most familiar on the T. C. U. campus, for in the twenty- five years he served as president and his nine years as president-emeritus, Dr. Waits was known for his Christian character and as a friend of all with whom he came in contact. It has been said that it is a happy fact that in these times of selfishness and greed, such a man could have lived. He was a lover of sports and sportsmanship, scholars and scholarship. He saw T. C. U. through one of its greatest eras of expansion, and guided its destiny. To Prexy Waits T. C. U. owes much, and to T. C. U., Dr. Waits stands as a symbol of the stat- utes on which the institution was founded. T. C. U. is deeply indebted to Mr. Tom Brown for his generosity, as one of the University's great- est benefactors. From 1941 until this year he served as one of the guides of the destinies of the school as a member of the Board of Trustees. A lover of sports and young people, he inspired them because of his faith in them. Standing as an immortal memory of T. C. U.'s friend is the boys' dormitory that bears his name. LYLE MAYNE was one of the most brilliant young scholars on the University faculty. He came to T. C. U. from Yale and the University of California as a professor of Religion and Ethics. He was friend of all, and was most well beloved by his students. Although he was with the University only a short two years, his effective teachings will be long remembered where his students meet and preach. Seventeen
