"I was in school down here in '51, and '52 and then they made it a four year school, so '53. I transferred to UT dental branch and I transferred some of my credits back here so I graduated in '55. (I enjoyed) just the smallest of it the old framed student union building, sitting there when you didn't have classes playing bridge. What is incredible to me is that they can find this much land that close to the old campus. " --Don Frantz ('53)
