Landscape Architecture at Texas A&M University Michael D. Murphy INTRODUCTION 3 T he history of landscape architecture at A&M, in many ways, paralleled and was integral with the development of the nation and the university over the last 100 years. This chronological outline, augmented by a variety of published and recalled sources represents my best effort at compiling an accurate history of the evolution of the landscape architecture program Texas A&M University. Many of the details of the early years are lost to time. This account is at best starting point to be revised, expanded, and improved in accuracy and detail. In particular, hope that will stimulate more consistent and conscientious documentation in the future than has been the case in the past. In recent years we just never seemed to consider that what we were doing might someday be taken seriously. And we were busy, focused primarily on the students and their progress. The students are the spirit of the program. Their education is the program’s central purpose. Yet, there have been too many exceptional students to mention individually, or even collectively, for their accomplishments, as students or in their later professional lives in this short outline (see Appendix A for list of Outstanding Alumni). A few have been mentioned as notable exemplars. regret that their stories could not have been more prominent part in this telling of the program’s history. Unfortunately, much of that story lies beyond the scope of this account. 4 Military Walk TO THE FIRST CENTURY � 6 24 1941: Enrollment running up to and during the war years dropped off drastically from thirtyseven students in 1941 to two in 1943. 1943: Assistant Professor Elo Urbanovsky (BArch 1931, Texas A&M) joins the faculty to teach design courses. Prior to joining the faculty, Urbanovsky had worked on the construction of the Walton Hall dormitory on campus. 1945: World War ended in September of 1945. The degree designation was changed from Bachelor of Science in Landscape Art to Bachelor of Science in Landscape Design (BSLD) to more accurately reflect the practical concerns and approach to land development required in the post war period of rapid urbanization. During the time, when the program was under the designation of Bachelor of Science in Landscape Art (from 1928 until 1945), 123 students earned degrees. 1946: Immediately following World War II, returning servicemen swelled the ranks of the student population at A&M. Some were former service men returning to complete their degrees. Others were men who, before the war had been unable to attend college, but with the support of the GI Bill providing educational benefits to veterans, flooded onto the campus. Housing was in critically short supply and the College relocated army barracks from decommissioned army training camps for use by married students at College View, the area north of the intersection of South College Avenue and University Drive. Walton Hall was converted to housing for married students. Freshmen cadets were housed in the recently vacated barracks at the deactivated Bryan Army Air Base (now the RELLIS campus). Although most of freshmen classes were held at the Annex, students had to be bussed to campus to attend some classes and special events. On the south side of the campus, the Project Houses, prewar cooperative housing development initiated by Professor Dan Russell, head of the Rural Sociology Department in 1937, served as housing for married student’s families. At the same time, houses occupied by the faculty and staff, which the College had previously provided on campus, were being moved off the campus to make space for new dormitory and academic building construction. Under the BS in Landscape Design designation (from 1945 until 1950) only 26 students are known to have earned degrees (10 students received degrees in 1950 but unclear how many of these were granted under the BSLD designation). Following the war, enrollment in landscape architecture reached an all-time high of fifty-six students. The postwar enrollment boom lasted from 1946 until 1948. That student population was not to be exceeded until 1971. 1947: Assistant Professor Robert ‘Bob’ White (BSLA, Pennsylvania State College) joined the landscape architecture faculty in September. Following military service in Europe, Robert White, who before the war had worked for the City of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania Planning Department, relocated to Houston to work with prominent landscape architect, Ruth London. The city was well known among planning and parks officials for its visionary Houston Development Plan prepared by Boston landscape architect, Arthur Coleman Comey in 1913, for the Houston Parks Commission. White believed that Houston offered opportunities for growth in new type of American city development based on the freedom of movement provided by the automobile and its influence on the expansion of suburban development. The post war building boom offered design opportunities for landscape architects to be on the forefront of the rapid expansion of mass housing, school campuses, park and recreation facilities, planned communities, and other large public and private landscape development projects. 1949: The study of landscape art had led the department in several new directions, one of which was to the study of ornamental plants and floriculture. To accommodate new areas of research interest in ornamental horticulture, greenhouse crop production, and floristry, the department was reorganized once again into the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Art with Professor Adolph F. De Werth (MS Horticulture, Ohio State University) as Head of Department. Assistant Professor Wallace McAllister ‘Mac’ Ruff (BS University of Florida, 1934, MS University of California, 1950) joined the faculty. The study of landscape art had led the department in several new directions, one of which was to the study of ornamental plants and floriculture. 25
