Texas Lutheran University
[3] That school accumulated crushing financial problems, but in 1912, it was rescued by an offer of 15 acres and $20,000 from local businessmen to relocate the academy to Seguin.[2] Initially, the Lutheran College of Seguin, Texas, as it was newly named, had only one building on a bare former cotton field, with 46 students.After 40 years of growth, the institution was once again renamed, taking its present title of Texas Lutheran University in 1996.[4] Over the 100 years since moving to Seguin, TLU's span has increased to over 40 buildings and sports fields on 184 acres with about 1,400 students each semester.Student and alumni art can be found throughout campus, and sections of the sidewalk are designed for bricks dedicated to Texas Lutheran University affiliates.Oaks and other trees shade the campus, and rows of flowering crape myrtles provide color.The Gothic Revival building of Austin limestone was designed by ecclesiastical architect Henry Steinbomer[6] of San Antonio in 1954.[7] After a fire in 1969, architect Edward Sovik from St. Olaf College[8] in Minnesota supervised the rebuilding with a nontraditional interior.Also facing the quadrangle on the southwest corner was the Emma Frey Hall, a former women's dormitory in Spanish Colonial Revival style by noted architect Marvin Eichenroht in 1929.On the east side is Langner Hall, named for the first president of TLU, and built to plans by Atlee B. Ayers in 1947.Today, it houses classrooms and faculty offices for the social science and humanities departments, as well as the Mexican American Studies Center the Fiedler Memorial Museum, and an outdoor geological garden.TLU offers a variety of housing options for students, including residence halls and on-campus apartments.The Jesse H. Jones Physical Education Complex, named for the former United States Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones, has a 2,200-seat gym for intercollegiate basketball and volleyball games, offices for faculty and coaches, locker rooms, racquetball courts, and an eight-lane collegiate-size swimming pool, as well as the Grossman Fitness Center, the Kieffer Kinesiology Laboratory, and Rinn Field House.This multi-day Krost Symposium event brings in guest speakers with a range of viewpoints and experiences on the chosen topic.
