When I was growing up in Austria, I used to read Zane Gray when I should have been reading something else. I also read a lot of the stories by Karl May, the German "western" writer. That way I developed a love for the West and when I came to America I naturally wanted to see what it was like.

February, 1956 7 The Texm Technological College Foundation

By WILLIAM H. CRENSHAW Director ot Development

In the December issue of the Techsan, we began to look at the reflection of national enrollment trends on the local scene as illus­ trated by the present enrollment situation in the elementary and secondary schools of Lubbock and at Tech. The ·following table illustrates not only the situation at Tech but the situation facing all of our state-supported institutions of higher ·education in Texas. From this table it is readily apparent that our enrollment growth is not singularly unusual. (See table be­ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ low). r"' A>... ~ ...; ...... ; On Nov. 4, 1954, the Texas Com­ mission on Higher Education, ap­ pointed by the governor and legis­ lature in 1953, in its report to the governor and legislature said: "Texas is faced in the years i m me d i a t e I y ahead with · greatly enlarged enrollments in its state-supported institu­ tions. Information now avail­ able indicates a probable fall enrollment (1955) at the eighteen fully state-supported ·institutions of: 62,600 in 1955 ~ ~ ~ § 69,100 in 1960 ...... cU 101,200 in 1970 As compared with a total in 1952 of only 51,900. Thus Texas college and uni­ versity enrollments are ex­ pected to be 33 per cent great­ er than the 1952 level by 1960, and 95 per cent greater than the 1952 figure by 1970." As can be seen, the fall enroll­ ment of 1955 is 2,203 more stu­ dents than the Commission pre­ dicted by 1960 and 8,703 more students than was predicted in 1955. There seems no reason to be­ lieve that each succeeding year will not see still greater numbers enrolling. (To Be Continued.)
