Museum of Texas Tech University
The Museum was founded as the West Texas Museum in 1929, shortly after Texas Technological College was chartered in 1925. Dr. William Curry Holden served as its first director until 1969 when he retired. He oversaw the construction of the first building, which began as a basement only, through the completion of that facility, to the construction and occupation of the current buildings in 1970. Dr. Holden also identified the first Folsom projectile points from the Lubbock Lake area which became the Lubbock Lake Landmark State Historical Park, an internationally recognized center for studies of early man in the New World.When the Museum moved into its present quarters at 4th and Indiana Avenue, the former building was converted into classroom and office spaces as Holden Hall. The reorganized institution was renamed the Museum of Texas Tech University and the Natural Science Research Laboratory was added. Significant additions to the Museum have occurred over the past 30 years including the establishment of the Ranching Heritage Center (dedicated in 1976 and established as a separate university entity in 1998), the construction of permanent interpretation and research facilities at the Lubbock Lake Landmark (1990), and the building of the Diamond M Wing to house the tremendous Diamond M Fine Art Collection (1995).

Name Change
From 1959-1969, debates and demonstrations were held over the renaming of Texas Technological College. It was agreed that the word "university" was necessary to reflect the growth in size and prestige of the "college." There was a lot of vocal and written support was for retaining the Double-T logo, despite whatever name was selected for the university. By 1963, the Board of Directors officially approved the name "Texas Tech University," preserving aspects of the original name and retaining the trademark Double-T. The State Legislature, on September 1, 1969, formally approved the board's suggestion.

Nursing, School of
The School of Nursing has expanded quickly over its brief history. The first Nursing classes at Texas Tech were part of the Continuing Nursing Education Program, which began in 1979. Then in the Fall of 1981, the first students with no prior nursing education were admitted into Tech's baccalaureate nursing degree program at the Lubbock Health Sciences Campus. This program was the only BA nursing program in Texas where students receive immediate nursing instruction in clinical areas. In the Fall of 1985 the program expanded to a second campus in the Permian Basin. The rapid growth then continued to expand in the level of nursing education that could be achieved at Texas Tech. In 1988 a graduate program was began. Then in 1992 in collaboration with the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio a doctoral program also began. At this time the School of Nursing boasts forty plus nursing faculty, who are all involved in clinical practice as well as teaching duties, programmatic level research activities, and over 500 hundred students at all levels of education.
