A Heritage Unsurpassed…Austin College has a heritage unsurpassed in Texas higher education, a heritage thatis enriched and invigorated by innovative programs, faculty, and facilities. Withmore than 150 years of service, Austin College has a distinguished reputation forits commitment to learning, leadership, and lasting values.Dr. Daniel Baker, principal organizer of the college in 1849, was a Princeton-educatedPresbyterian missionary. From its founding by Brazos Presbytery, Austin College hasbeen related to the Presbyterian Church, and that relationship has given distinctiveflavor to its rich and influential history.With General Sam Houston and Anson Jones, presidents of the Republic of Texas,on the original Board of Trustees, Austin College was granted a charter in November1849. This charter was modeled after those of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton and isstill in use today. The college opened in Huntsville and admitted its first class in thefall of 1850.In 1876, Austin College moved to Sherman. Austin College became coeducational in1918. Then in 1930, the college merged with Texas Presbyterian College, an institutionfor women. Expansion and development were interrupted by the Depression and WorldWar II. Beginning in the 1950s, the college engaged in extensive experimentationaimed at improving the traditional liberal arts curriculum. In 1972, the college beganto install the comprehensive educational program that with some modifications stillshapes the academic life and curriculum of the college.Today, Austin College’s fully networked 70-acre campus is characterized by excellentfacilities that include both historical structures and modern architecture. The mostrecently added facilities include the John A. and Katherine G. Jackson TechnologyCenter, which supports instructional technology for faculty and students, and theRobert J. and Mary Wright Campus Center, which provides a modern home for studentactivities and social events. Scheduled to open in spring 2008, the newly constructedForster Art Studio Complex that will house programs in art and art history.Located within 30 minutes driving distance, the Robbie Kubela Rogers Lake Campusof Austin College is situated on Lake Texoma and is used by members of the collegecommunity for recreational activities, retreats, meetings, and camping. The collegealso operates five environmental research areas in Grayson County.In December 2004, Austin College successfully completed the $120 million “Campaignfor the New Era,” the most ambitious fund-raising campaign in the history of thecollege. Through the campaign, the college strengthened endowment for scholarships;added new faculty positions through endowed chairs and professorships; createdthe Robert Johnson Center for Liberal Arts Teaching and Scholarship; strengthenedinterdisciplinary programs by enhancing the Center for Environmental Studies, theCenter for Southwestern and Mexican Studies, and the Posey Leadership Institute; andgained in prominence among national liberal arts colleges in the United States.
