Texas Lutheran University
Texas Lutheran University (TLU) is an undergraduate, coeducational, private university of the Liberal Arts, Sciences and Professional Studies affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It is located in Seguin, Texas, about thirty-five miles east of San Antonio, and fifty miles south of Austin. TLU is ranked #3 by the ''U.S. News & World Report 2014 Best West Regional Universities''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas Lutheran University )〕
==History==
The University traces its roots back to 1891, to an academy of the First German Evangelical Lutheran Synod in Texas, in Brenham. 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.〔 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.
The academy reached junior college status in 1928 with accreditation from the Texas state department of education. The Swedish Lutheran Trinity College of Round Rock was having trouble maintaining a minimum 40 freshmen and 20 sophomores, so in 1929 it pooled its resources with the larger Seguin institution, bringing two professors and support from Swedish Lutherans. The combined school was renamed Texas Lutheran College in 1930. It became a four-year institution in 1948. Then Texas Lutheran absorbed Clifton College of Clifton, a Norwegian Lutheran school in 1954, again gaining faculty and support from a larger base.〔
When the college received recognition in 1953 as a fully accredited senior college by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, faculty and students rang the "Victory Bell" in celebration for hours. After 40 years of growth, the institution was once again renamed, taking its present title of Texas Lutheran University in 1996.〔M. H. Alderson, "TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY," Handbook of Texas Online. (TLU Handbook online ), accessed July 05, 2012. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 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.
