A. Clark, Business Manager. ln 1895 the college was moved to Waco and in 1902 its name was changed to Texas Christian University. In 1910 the school opened in downtown Fort Worth and then moved to its present location in 1911. Eleven years later the school was elected to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and became accredited. It is the purpose of the AddRan College of Arts and Sciences to provide a liberal arts curriculum fundamental to the educational development of students, whatever their field of specialization. To this end, courses are offered in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, from which a core of general education is required by the various colleges of the University. AddRan is organized with fifteen departments, two inter-departmental programs, four pro- grams in co-operation with other schools, five pre-professional programs, and two units of Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Two degrees are offered in the college: the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Science degree.

A TRIBUTE ..... DR. W . .I . HAMMOND Since ioining the faculty in 1924, Dr. W. J. Hammond has proved to be much more than a competent professor of history. He has helped TCU grow by leading students to creative work in government, politics and civic proiects through countless interest groups and club sponsorships. The history department chairman has enriched the curriculum by the addition of a survey course in social science, one ot the first of its kind in the United States. He has shown sincere interest in students outside of class by taking them on picnics and trips, and having perpetual open house at his home tor fun, study or discussion of personal prob- lems. To today's students Dr. Hammond symbolizes the continual development of ideas and the sustained loyalty of spirit that has made TCU a fine university. May we in this way say thank you to an inspiring teacher and an understanding friend.

BRITE COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE Since TCU was founded in 1873 as AddRan College, it has maintained a Depart- ment of Bible. Not until 1914, however, was the Brite College of the Bible con- structed. Some 537,000 for the building fund was contributed by L. C. Brite of Marfa, Texas. ln 1939 Brite College celebrated its silver anniversary. Since 1873, the college has sent more than 400 young men and women into some 'Form of ministerial service. Since 1939 there have been 188 graduates of the seminary serving as pastors, religious education directors and missionaries, both home and abroad. The Bible courses were largely under-graduate in earlier years, but under the stimulus of the faculty and the general elevation of education, the level of training has risen and the number of students doing graduate work has steadily increased. The B.D. curriculum formerly accepted one year of credit recounted from the B.A. This practice was discontinued in 1939 and since then the bachelor's degree is required for entrance into Brite College. The college was elected to membership in the American Association of Theological Schools in December, 1939, and was accredited as a standard seminary in De- cember, 1941. Time is taken out from studying to enioy the fellowship of a good game of ping-pong. During the noon hour on Thursdays, Homiletic Guild meets for its regular dinner and programs. Q., A ' .Q L :.
