May 2015 3 ABOUT TEXAS TECH

ROM ITS VERY BEGINNING the Texas Tech University community has had a sense of destiny and an awareness of the impact it could and would have on Texas and the wider world. FOriginally named Texas Technological College, the college opened in 1925 with six buildings, four schools (Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, and Liberal Arts), and an enrollment of 914. Texas Tech grew rapidly after World War II, and in 1969 the Texas legislature approved a name change to Texas Tech University. In the years since, Texas Tech has grown to become the largest comprehensive higher education institution in the western two-thirds of the state. As the only campus in Texas that is home to a major university, law school, and medical school, the university is the major institution of higher education in a region larger than 46 of the nation’s 50 states. Today, Texas Tech continues to thrive, with more than 35,000 students enrolled in its 11 colleges: Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Architecture, Arts and Sciences, Jerry S. Rawls College of Business, Education, Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, Honors College, Human Sciences, Media and Communication, Visual and Performing Arts, and the Graduate School, as well as University Programs via the Provost’s Office. The institution’s goal is to enroll 40,000 students by 2020. Because of its educational scope and pur- pose and the size of the region it serves, Texas Tech University operates in numerous Texas locations beyond the Lubbock campus. In all the Texas Tech University System—which includes Texas Tech University, Angelo State University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso—has more than 44,000 students enrolled.

4 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY MAY 2015 5 ABOUT TEXAS TECH

6 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY INCE TEXAS TECH’S FIRST graduation ceremony in the spring of 1927, more than 200,000 undergraduate and graduate degrees have been awarded by the university. From these proud graduates have emergedS captains of industry, world-renowned surgeons, noted authors, famous singers, acclaimed teachers and professors, attorneys, entrepreneurs, agronomists, scientists, professional athletes, and countless others who have claimed positions of service and responsibility in a rapidly changing world. Texas Tech University graduates have governed three states, flown in space, won Olympic gold medals, served as ambassadors to foreign countries, acted on Broadway stages, won Pulitzer Prizes, served in Congress, led Fortune 500 companies, and been watched by millions on network television news. Not all graduates will achieve fame and fortune in equal measure, but all Texas Tech graduates can point with pride to the solid academic preparation they received and the personal connections they made as Red Raiders. For beneath the spacious skies of West Texas and in the halls of brick and tile through which they strolled during their time on campus, generations of Texas Tech students have been pro- vided a foundation for success that is without parallel. As they take their first steps into professional careers that will see many of them literally change the world, they can remember with certainty one important fact about Texas Tech University: From here, it’s possible.

14 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY CANDIDATES FOR GRADUATE DEGREES

The doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions of higher learning. The doctorate usually represents prolonged periods of advanced study culminating in a dissertation intended to contribute substantially to the body of knowledge on the subject. The most widely sought doctorate is the Doctor of Philosophy, which no longer has an implication of philosophy as the major field of study but represents advanced research in any of the major fields of knowledge. The master’s degree is an academic honor bestowed upon students who have successfully completed work beyond the baccalaureate. Both a thesis and an oral examination are usually but not always required. When applicable, the graduate’s thesis topic is listed.

24 TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY CANDIDATES FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES

The bachelor’s degree represents completion of a four-year course of college-level study and is the oldest academic degree awarded by American institutions of higher learning. Graduation with Honors is a distinction that is noted on diplomas and transcripts and receives special recognition at graduation ceremonies. Undergraduates who complete their work with a cumulative grade point average of 3.9 or above are graduated Summa Cum Laude; 3.7 to 3.89, Magna Cum Laude; 3.5 to 3.69, Cum Laude. Those who graduate from the Honors College after acquiring 24 Honors credit hours graduate “with Honors.” Those who also complete an Honors thesis or project consisting of six additional hours graduate “with Highest Honors.”

Who’s Sitting on a Horse? (And Why Is He Red?)

Will Rogers was one of the most famous entertainers in America in the 1920s and ’30s, and his longtime friend, Amon G. Carter, was Texas Tech’s first chairman of the Board of Directors. Rog- ers donated $200 for the Texas Tech band to play at the football game against TCU in 1926 because he wanted people “to hear a real band.” Then the cowboy humorist donated $1,500 to buy band uniforms for the trip to Fort Worth. A few years after Rog- ers perished in a plane crash, Carter presented the statue of Rogers and his horse, Soapsuds, to Texas Tech. Sculpted by 18- year old Electra Waggoner Biggs, the statue is one of four in the nation. Before every home game, the Saddle Tramps wrap “Old Will” with red crepe paper. The statue also has been wrapped in black to mourn national tragedies.

Raider Red or the Masked Rider? Not every university wants a horse in its stadium, so Texas Tech had to find an alternate mascot prior to the 1971 football season. That was the year the school’s athletic conference passed a rule that prevented taking live animals to non-home games. That also was the year Raider Red was born from the imagination of cartoonist Dirk West. Raider Red changes from boots to soft-soled shoes for basketball games, and his student persona is kept a secret as he mingles with the crowds.

The Texas Tech Class Ring

As a constant reminder of their academic achievements and the traditions of Texas Tech University, students proudly wear the official Texas Tech class ring. This bronze sculpture of the official class ring sits next to the Merket Alumni Center. Traditionally the rings are worn with the university name facing inward when the students’ hands are extended. After the degree is granted on graduation day, the ring can be turned around so that the name faces outward, a symbol that the new alumnus has a Texas Tech diploma and is ready to face the world.

denoted by denoted by The first athletic teams of the university were known as the Matadors, a name that reflected the Spanish architectural influence on campus. The change from Matadors to Red Raiders occurred after a Lubbock Avalanche-Journal writer com- mented on the red uniforms and strong season of the 1932 football team, saying “the Red Raiders from Texas Tech” were the terror of the Southwest Conference. The name caught on and by 1936 the team was renamed the Red Raiders. No changes were ever made to the school song, which was penned in 1930.
