In 1947 all freshman were housed and taught at Bryan Air Force Base, then called the annex. HOWEVER, they needed some means to get back and forth to the main campus for yell practices, football games, Town Hall and other form of recreation. Solving this transportation problem was the purpose of the buses. The buses arrival was quite un expected and perplexing to the Dean of Men’s office. “They just rolled ‘em in,” said the official. “We didn’t know where they came from or anything.

We were operating them, buying gas and all, but didn’t even have a specific place to park them.” History Profs Book Receives Award From Texas Institute Dr. Joseph M.
