ACADEMIC STANDING Southern Methodist University is accredited by the Universit y Senate of the Methodist Church. It is a member of the Association of Description of the University 5

Texas Colleges, the Southern University Conference and the As­ sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. In addition, the schools of the University are connected with national educational bodies composed of similar schools in other colleges and universities. Perkins School of Theology holds member­ ship in the American Association of Theological Schools; the School of Music, in the National Association of Schools of Music; the School of Law, in the Association of American Law Schools; the School of Business Administration, in the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business; and the School of Engineering is accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development. A number of national honorary and professional societies main­ tain chapters at the University. A chapter of Phi Beta Kappa , Gamma of Texas, was installed at Southern Methodist University December 12, 1949. The American Association of University Women, of which the University is an institutional member, admits women graduates of Southern Methodist University to national membership. The American Association of University Professors has a chapter on the Southern Methodist University campus.

HISTORY The University was established at Dallas by an Educational Com­ mission appointed in 1910 by the five Annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Texas. These Annual Con­ ferences, in 1911, confirmed the work of the Commission and accepted for the Church ownership and control of the institution; and, in order to place it upon a broader foundation, especially in regard to its theological and graduate schools, the University was made the connectional institution for all Conferences west of the Mississippi River by action of the General Conference of 1914. The first president of the University was Robert Stewart Hyer, A.M., LL.D. During his tenure (April 13, 1911, to February 20, 1920), the first buildings of Southern Methodist University were erected, the faculty assembled, and an endowment fund of $279,178 created. The first session began September 22, 1915, with an enroll­ ment of 706; and by 1920, the year of President Hyer's resignation . the student body had grown to 1,118. President Hyer was succeeded by Hiram Abiff Boaz, A.M., D.D., LL.D., who served until July 7, 1922, and resigned to become a bishop in the Methodist Episcopa l Church, South. Under his presidency, the University took significant steps toward the increase of its endowment. Charles Claude Selecman, D.D., LL.D., the third president, served from April 1, 1923, to September 1, 193 8, and during his incumbency the University con­ tinued its growth, adding greatly to its endowment and its physical 6 General Information plant. The fourth president, Umphrey Lee, Ph.D., D.D., Litt.D., LL.D., assumed office March 1, 1939. The present value of Southern Methodist University 1s $27,560,000. Of this amount, $18,660,000 is in building assets, grounds and equipment; and $6,700,000 represents the University's endowment.

IDEALS AND AIMS The University was established through the unselfish work of Methodist laymen and churchmen, and is devoted to the ideals of Christianity; but it is not sectarian. Its student body represents nearly all the religious faiths common in America, and its faculty includes scholars from different churches. The University seeks to maintain small classes and to afford close personal relations be­ tween the individual student and the faculty, which is distinguished both for scholarship and for character.

LOCATION Southern Methodist University is situated in University Park, an incorporated residential city about six miles north of the central business district of Dallas. It may be reached directly from Dallas by the S . M. U. Express, East and West, bus lines, and is con­ veniently close to Central Expressway, automobile artery through Dallas. Dallas, with a population of approximately 500,000, is the chief city of North Texas. Located in the rich, black-land cotton belt of Texas, it has a healthful climate, with much sunshine and com­ paratively mild winters. Although it is a thriving railroad and business center and has a growing industrial district, it is a city without smoke. Dallas is also noted for its cultural advantages, including its art museum, and its many programs of visiting lecturers and artists afford opportunity for contact with the diverse intellectual cur­ rents of the time.

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES BUILDINGS The first buildings erected on the campus, DALLASHALL and ATKINS HALL, were designed in Modern Georgian style by Shep­ ley, Rutan and Coolidge, of Chicago; and later buildings, de­ signed by other architects, follow the same style and reproduce with interesting modifications its distinctive features. The campus itself, which consists of 153 acres, has been developed according to the plan prepared by Bremer W. Pond, of Boston , and has as Description of the University 7 its principal feature Bishop Boulevard, a long, double avenue with central parkway.
