TEXAS TECH UNIVERSI1Y Texas Tech is a state-supported, multipurpose university of more than 23,000 students enrolled in seven colleges-Agricultural Sciences, Architecture, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, and Home Economics- and two schools-the Graduate School and the School of Law. The Texas Tech Health Sciences Center-a separate institution-and the Museum share the Lubbock campus with the University. As is necessary for an educational institution of its scope and purposes, Texas Tech operates in several locations. Beyond its 1,839-acre Lubbock campus- all in one tract- the University operates a 13,822-acre agricultural and biological laboratory through the Tcias Tech University Center at Amarillo. Under development are other agricultural research and teaching facilities in Lubbock County and in Terry County. As a part of its medical role, the Health Sciences Center has in various stages of development three Regional academic H_ealth Centers: in Amarillo, in El Paso, and in Odessa-Midland. The Texas Tech University Center at Junction, in the Texas hill country, is a 411-acre unit consisting of classroom and lodging facilities. Paul Whitfield Hom, the first president of Texas Tech, drew from the broad open plains ofWest Texas his vision for the institution. "Let us make the work of our college fit into the scope of our country," he said. "Let our thoughts be big thoughts and broad thoughts. Let our thinking be in world-wide terms." Hom's challenge to Texas Tech, now embarked on its second fifty years, continues as a viable force. His insight is most evident as we-faculty and students, administrators and alumni, supporters and friends-strive to shape the University's programs and activities to meet the highest standards of excellence in teaching, research, and public service.
