"Today Sam Houston State University is no longer the "college on the hill," as it was known to the young men and women who first attended 125 years ago. Today it is a Carnegie Doctoral/Research Intensive Institution offering 135 undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs." "Sam Houston State University traces the school's development alongside the life of the campus. Through the description of the many fads, traditions, crises, and milestones that marked the ages, a distinct institutional identity emerges in this volume that will be at once both strangely fascinating and warmly familiar to those who have walked the campus as students, professors, staff or visitors." "This oversized, well-illustrated book presents a grand and colorful sweep of Sam Houston's 125-year history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
