About this School
Texas Tech University is a nationally recognized doctoral/research university located in Lubbock, Texas (USA) established in 1923 originally as Texas Technological College. It is the flagship institution of the Texas Tech University System.
 
History
Though plans for opening a college in West Texas had been in the legislature for some time, it had long been thought that any such institution should be a branch of Texas A&M. However, in 1923 the decision was made to create a new college system entirely so as to serve the unique needs of the region. On February 10, 1923, Governor Pat Neff signed the legislation creating Texas Technological College and the site committee began searching for a location. In August, the first ballot resulted in the selection of Lubbock and construction began. Texas Technological College opened for classes in 1925 with an enrollment of 914 students. In the 1960s it was decided that the phrase "technological college" was insufficient to define the scope of the institution, having expanded the curriculum to far more than just technical subjects. Numerous name changes were proposed, including Texas State University and Texas Tech University. The board of directors preferred the name Texas Tech University, due to a desire to preserve the university's "Double T" emblem. The name change was such a big issue that students held rallies and marched against the name Texas Tech University. One student stated in a letter to the University Daily "Tech to me is a coined word and does not dignify this fine institution." Despite a few rallies and student-led ballot initiatives, in 1969 the board voted unanimously in favor of the change to Texas Tech University.
