  • The Founding and Defining of a University
    An Occasional Paper Number 21 2007 The Founding and Defining of a University By: Marshall Terry The Founding and Defining of a University PREFACE Southern Methodist University (SMU) was founded for a distinct purpose, to serve as the “connectional institution” for the Methodist Church west of the Mississippi when Vanderbilt University gave up its Church connection and that function. Fortunately for the new university, the Church was in the strong Wesleyan tradition of “think and let think” and its founding president Robert Stewart Hyer was a physicist and knowledgeable academic who said at the outset, in 1916, “Religious denominations may properly establish institutions of higher learning, but any institution which is dedicated to the perpetuation of a narrow, sectarian point of view falls far short of the standard of higher learning.” So, founded as a university with a theology school to train ministers and a tiny music school, SMU, while cherishing the spiritual and moral values and traditions of the Church, was by design denominational and not sectarian. Through the years this openness to various ideas and truth claims has led to SMU’s firm educational basis in the liberal arts. In this essay I will consider the character of the founding president, Robert S. Hyer, and of the defining president Willis McDonald Tate; and look at the definition of the University that emerged from Tate’s 1962-1963 Master Plan; and finally assess some of the University’s successes and failures to act according to its stated principles along the way to the present. HYER Who was this founding president and what were the attributes that allowed him to found and lead a new university of limited financial means compared with other new private universities such as Chicago and Stanford? Hyer was a native of Georgia and graduate of Emory College.

  • Chapter One – the Founding of Polytechnic College 1890
    Chapter One – The Founding of Polytechnic College 1890 In August 1890, Reverend Milton Koger Little bounced around in his buggy examining three tracks offered to Fort Worth Methodists for a new regional college. The Methodist Episcopal Church South Northwest Texas Conference pastors and congregants saw the growth of the city to twenty-thousand in that year’s census as an opportunity to educate nearby city youth and those on ranches near and far. Interested Methodists had offered three tracks: a large one in Arlington Heights, a smaller one on the south side of downtown, and fifty acres four miles east of Fort Worth. On the 24th, hot as only Texas can be at the end of summer, Little, pastor of Missouri Avenue Church, climbed down from his buggy and drove a stake in the middle of the tract on a hill over a hundred feet above the Trinity River to the north. Early Fort Worth settlers Arch Hall and his brother W.D. Hall, along with their nephew, George Tandy, had offered the site for the college. The North Texas contingent proposed the new college at the conference’s November meeting at the fifth-day’s afternoon session in Abilene where it was unanimously approved to open a Methodist institute of learning in young, but burgeoning, Fort Worth.
