The campus library: one of the most important assets

The Library

One of the most important assets to any school is a good library. We have more than four thousand books well selected. The greater part of the library was selected by the heads of the departments in the school, and each department is well supplied with reference works. Our library room is large and well equipped for the student’s comfort. Many additional books are being added each month.

The Bible Library

We think that we have the best Bible library in the country. It consists of about a thousand volumes selected by the head of the [p. 9] Bible Department. The young preacher or any other who wishes to make the Bible a serious study, will find here a very fine selection of books. Any one who may have a good book on the Bible that he does not need will do the cause of Christ a favor by sending it to us. We will place it where it will serve a good purpose.

The head of the Bible department was Charles H. Roberson.  Texas Christian College offered junior college work and attempted to carry forward the legacy of the old Thorp Springs Christian College in a new location.  The endeavor did not last long.
