Schreiner Mansion
The Hill Country Preservation Society donated Schreiner
Mansion to Schreiner University in 2009. The structure,
built in 1879 and restored in the 1970’s, was the original home
of Captain Charles Schreiner, the university’s founder. now
known as the Schreiner Mansion historic Site and education
Center, the building hosted a number of cultural events in
2012, including its own grand re-opening in May, courtesy of a
collaboration between Schreiner and Leadership Kerr County.
The building was the hill Country Museum for several years,
and is still open to the public several days a week.

Please help Su honor Those Lost in War
Do you know of a Schreiner former student who lost his life in World War II, the Korean
War, the Vietnam War or the more recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq? If so, please
call Mark Tuschak, vice president for advancement and public affairs, at 830-792-7215 or e-mail
him at mctuschak@schreiner.edu.
In the next few months, Schreiner will erect a new memorial wall in a park-like setting in front
of the Floyd & Kathleen Cailloux Campus Activity Center. With a design guided by James
Avery, the stately limestone wall will be part of the newly developed area where the old
swimming pool used to be. “The Commons” includes spaces for relaxation, reflection and quiet
conversation—amidst shade canopies, xeric plantings, benches and winding paths.
It is Schreiner’s intent to honor the memories of each student lost in one of these wars. The old
plaques on the exterior wall of the dining room will be removed. The names of 108 men have
been collected so far, including nine lost in Vietnam. Please do not assume we know of your
friends, neighbors or classmates. Please write or call us with as much detail as you can supply.
