A barren and lonely memorial circle on the Texas Tech University campus in 1955. My, how times have changed.

It’s time for some highlights from our 2019 posts. Here’s one of your favorites: an aerial shot of the Texas Tech campus taken in 1950. The photographer was looking northeast across Memorial Circle, with the Administration Building to the right and what was soon to be the West Texas Museum (and is now Holden Hall) on the center-left. It’s fair to say that things have changed just a little bit.

It’s that time of year again, when students old and new make their pilgrimage back to the Texas Tech University campus. Because TTU is approaching its hundredth year (in 2025!), we’re sharing photographs from its early decades, such as this aerial shot of the campus taken in 1950. The photographer was looking northeast across Memorial Circle, with the Administration Building to the right and what was soon to be the West Texas Museum (and is now Holden Hall) on the center-left. It’s fair to say that things have changed just a little bit.
