Historical Sketch

The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) underwent significant changes between the years of 1957 and 1973. Two presidential administrations spanned the 1957-1973 period. Enrollment figures had jumped from 4,926 in 1957 to over 14,000 by 1973. Prior to the college entering the UT system in 1965, it had been a part of the A&M system with the moniker of Arlington State College (ASC). Arlington State College was a state-supported junior college until the Texas Commission on Higher Education advanced ASC’s application for senior status for the fall of 1959. The Texas legislature later authorized the change with Governor John Connally’s signature of the bill on May 5, 1959.

In 1962 ASC dropped its segregationist policy by allowing African-American students into the college. The structure of the college was divided into two schools between 1959-1965: the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering. In 1965 the college divided the School of Arts and Sciences into three separate schools: the School of Liberal Arts, School of Business, and School of Science. Due to squabbles about money and status, ASC broke from the A&M system to join the UT system. Issues of dispute included A&M’s reorganization that neglected ASC’s requests to award graduate degrees as well as the system’s reluctance to appropriate more revenue to accommodate a growing ASC enrollment. However, Dr. Jack Woolf, president of ASC at the time, was reluctant to leave the A&M system. The switch was authorized by Governor John Connally’s signature on April 23, 1965. Also during this period social organizations and student clubs increased on campus, and their policies were administered by the Dean of Student Life office.

Jack Royce Woolf was an influential proponent in pushing ASC to senior level college. Woolf became president of Arlington State College in June of 1959. He previously had earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M and his doctorate in engineering from Purdue. He later was appointed dean of the Engineering College of ASC in 1957. During Woolf’s administration, he created the position of Dean of Students who oversaw student issues at the college. He also increased the size of faculty and pushed for an increase in pay and benefits for the college’s faculty. Effective August 31, 1968, Woolf resigned as president and subsequently a search committee was organized to fill the vacancy.

On June 20, 1969, Frank Harrison became—officially—president of UTA. In his short administration Harrison faced a number of controversial issues. Harrison’s background consisted of earning his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Southern Methodist University, later getting his master’s and doctoral degree at Northwestern University. The contentious issue of race relations surfaced with the changing of the University’s traditional Rebel theme and symbols. He was proactive in expanding the size and quality of the University. He placed importance on increasing academic programs and finding faculty to teach in these programs. As associate dean of graduate studies at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas—part of the UT system—Harrison was directed by Chancellor Ransom to start up the graduate program at UTA in 1966. Before becoming president of UTA in 1968, Harrison had created six graduate departments. The graduate programs were approved by the Texas College and University Coordinating Board (formerly called the Texas Commission on Higher Education). As president he continued his agenda of increasing graduate programs. By 1973 Harrison oversaw the complete transference and elimination of associate degree programs. The style of management of Harrison’s administration emphasized collaboration and public openness to the University’s organization.

Scope and Content Note

The University of Texas at Arlington, Office of the President Records are contained in 6 manuscript boxes, with a total of 88 letter-sized folders. There are two series in the collection. The two series contain records created by University of Texas at Arlington’s Office of the President spanning 1957-1973. Largely, the records were created to maintain communication with the various departments and organizations on and off campus. The opinions, functions, and procedures of the President and staff are documented.

The records are suited best for researchers documenting the inner workings of the President’s office. Also, those individuals researching the development of UTA within a regional context may find this collection useful. With an abundance of records on the Inter-University Council (IUC) created in 1964, researchers can examine and analyze the collaborative issues of regional higher education institutions in the DFW metropolitan area.

Researchers interested in the counter-culture and civil rights movements of the 60s and 70s will find their effect and/or manifestations at UTA. The documents highlighting these events will be found in the Student Life folders as well as the Burnice Smith Discipline Case folder. Related to the same events was the Rebel theme controversy that jolted the campus.

Series I, Jack R. Woolf Administration, consists of material received by the University President and his staff as well as that generated by intra and inter University communication. The material includes memoranda, files on the Texas Committee on Higher Education, Engineers’ Council for Professional Development, and student life issues.

Series II, Frank Harrison Administration, consists of material received by the University President and his staff as well as that generated by intra and inter University communication. The material includes memoranda and files on search committees, degree plan proposals, and student life issues.

The original order was maintained, with slight modifications in subject headings and the reorganization of documents in the folders in ascending chronological order. The Inter-University Council (IUC) files were organized chronologically by particular meeting dates. Undated material was placed at the end of the folders.
