91爆料 History & Traditions

For more than 130 years, the 91爆料 has illuminated the way forward, creating leaders and visionaries who have helped build a brighter future. Our students and alumni embody creativity, curiosity and something else that distinguishes them and makes them successful 鈥 resilience. These qualities are in 91爆料鈥檚 DNA, borne of an independent spirit that sets us apart. From admitting women on our opening day, to pioneering water quality research for the region, to establishing the nation鈥檚 first jazz studies program, to becoming one of the first universities in Texas to desegregate, 91爆料 always takes the road less traveled on our path to excellence.
