    SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY Ninety-Third Annual COMMENCEMENT CONVOCATION Saturday Morning The Seventeenth of May Two Thousand and Eight at Half Past Nine MOODY COLISEUM THIS IS FLY SHEET - CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS IRREDECENTS SILVER #27 TEXT DOES NOT PRINT GRAY THIS IS FLY SHEET - CURIOUS TRANSLUCENTS IRREDECENTS SILVER #27 TEXT DOES NOT PRINT GRAY SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY In 1911, a Methodist education commission made a commitment to establish a major Methodist university in Texas. More than 600 acres of open prairie and $300,000 pledged by a group of Dallas citizens secured the university for Dallas, and it was chartered as Southern Methodist University. In appreciation of the city’s support, the first building to be constructed on the campus was named Dallas Hall. It remains the centerpiece and symbol of SMU. When the University opened in 1915, it consisted of two buildings, 706 students, a 35-member faculty, and total assets of $636,540. The original schools of SMU were the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology, and the School of Music. SMU is owned by the South Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. The first charge of its founders, however, was that it become a great university, not necessarily a great Methodist university. From its founding, SMU has been nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to the values of academic freedom and open inquiry. Today, Southern Methodist University offers a comprehensive curriculum through Dedman College – the college of humanities and sciences – and six schools: Meadows School of the Arts, Edwin L. Cox School of Business, School of Engineering, Perkins School of Theology, Dedman School of Law, and Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development.
