Page | 2General InformationLocationLamar State College-Port Arthur (LSC-PA) is a two-year, state-supported institution located in Port Arthur, anindustrial and cultural center of Southeast Texas. The College offers freshman- and sophomore-level work in numerousacademic and technical/vocational fields. The campus sits between the 1000 and 1800 blocks of Procter Street andLakeshore Drive.Port Arthur has modern public schools, churches, shopping districts and recreation areas serving a community ofapproximately 70,000 persons. Principal industries in the area are oil refining, chemical production, shipping andshipbuilding.The metropolitan area, known as the Golden Triangle, includes Port Arthur and the cities of Beaumont, Bridge City,Groves, Orange, Port Neches, Nederland and Vidor, all of which are located within 25 miles of Port Arthur and form theheart of the upper Texas Gulf Coast where approximately 385,000 people live.HistoryJohn W. Gates of New York City, one of the founders of Texaco, establishedPort Arthur Business College in 1909, to train people for the petrochemicalindustry, then in its infancy. The College became Port Arthur CollegiateInstitute in 1911, when the school was presented to the Board of Education ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church North, a forerunner of the present UnitedMethodist Temple.The church operated the growing campus until 1918, when it was turnedover to a non-profit Texas corporation, which had no capital stock and wasoverseen by a self-perpetuating board of trustees. The name of the school waschanged back to Port Arthur Business College and finally, in 1932, to PortArthur College.Another milestone in the school’s history was reached July 31, 1974, whenW. Sam Monroe, President of Port Arthur College and a Lamar Universityregent, presented a resolution to merge the College into Lamar University. The21 trustees agreed that a merger would be in the best interests of bothinstitutions and their constituencies.The 64th Texas Legislature authorized the merger and appropriated$600,000 for creation of the Lamar University Center at Port Arthur. On Aug.21, 1975, the trustees presented the deed for Port Arthur College to the LamarUniversity Board of Regents. Classes began on the Port Arthur campus on Aug.28, 1975.In the years following the merger, enrollment increased from 151 students toa peak of more than 3,000 and the curriculum expanded to more than 50 areasof study.In 1977, the 65th Legislature approved House Bill 1134 renaming the school Lamar University-Port Arthur anddropping the “Extension Center” designation.In 1983, the 68th Legislature passed three bills that directly affected the College:1. Senate Bill 409 deleted the restrictive language of HB 130 (passed in 1971 by the 63rd Legislature), making LamarUniversity-Port Arthur eligible, on an equal basis with other state institutions, for state funds to be used to buy landand/or buildings.2. Senate Bill 410 provided Lamar University regents with the authority to levy a fixed student fee and the authorityto bond against said fee for construction of a Student Center on the Port Arthur campus. This legislation was validatedby a majority vote of the Lamar University-Port Arthur student body in November 1983.3. Senate Bill 620 created the Lamar University System. Lamar University-Port Arthur thus became a componentinstitution of that system on Aug. 29, 1983.In 1985, two bills affected the school:JOHN GATES
