Download or read book History of Texas Christian University written by Colby D. Hall and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published by TCU Press in 1947, Colby Hall’s book History of Texas Christian University: A College of the Cattle Frontier is the story of the first seventy-five years of the institution. Tracing the evolution of Add Ran College to Add Ran University, and ultimately to Texas Christian University, Hall shows the struggles and success in the transformation of a frontier college dedicated to educating and developing Christian leadership for all walks of life to a university dedicated to facing the challenges imposed by a new world frontier following World War II. Drawing upon numerous sources, including many unpublished documents, personal correspondence, and the author’s own recollections of his association with the university, Hall provides a detailed account of TCU's history and reveals how its founders' dreams were realized. Hall’s narrative skillfully weaves the development of the school into the history of Texas, at the same time elaborating upon the development of collegiate education in Texas and the establishment of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the state. Recognizing that TCU is much more than an institution, Hall specifically emphasizes the contributions of the people and personalities who helped shape the growth of the school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School History of Texas This book aims to present in form sufficiently simple for young readers the essential facts of the history of Texas. To bring it within the grasp of fifth and sixth grade pupils and to make it a thoroughly useful tool in the hands of the teacher, we have steadily sought to give it the qualities of accuracy, directness, and fairness. We believe that our sympathetic reverence for the history of our native state, our knowledge of the subject, and our experience as teachers in the public schools and colleges of Texas have enabled us to accomplish this end with measurable success. We have written only what is important to an understanding of the making of Texas, and we have shown at each step why it is important, so that the pupil should be in no doubt at any time of the significance of what he reads. The illustrations have been chosen with a view to instruct as well as to entertain children; geographical questions are illustrated by numerous maps; and at the end of each chapter are a list of questions, designed to emphasize the principal points of the chapter, and a list of simple and interesting reading which may be used to supplement the text.
