First published by TCU Press in 1947, Colby Hall's book History of
Texas Christian University: A College of the Cattle Frontier is the
story of the first seventy-five years of the institution. Tracing
the evolution of Add Ran College to Add Ran University, and
ultimately to Texas Christian University, Hall shows the struggles
and success in the transformation of a frontier college dedicated
to educating and developing Christian leadership for all walks of
life to a university dedicated to facing the challenges imposed by
a new world frontier following World War II. Drawing upon numerous
sources, including many unpublished documents, personal
correspondence, and the author's own recollections of his
association with the university, Hall provides a detailed account
of TCU's history and reveals how its founders' dreams were
realized. Hall's narrative skillfully weaves the development of the
school into the history of Texas, at the same time elaborating upon
the development of collegiate education in Texas and the
establishment of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the
state. Recognizing that TCU is much more than an institution, Hall
specifically emphasizes the contributions of the people and
personalities who helped shape the growth of the school.
