History of School of Mines and Metallurgy .,...~=--aHE
\ T LOGUE of the Texas niversity con rained its first announcement of a course in mining in the issue of that publication for the year 1900-1901. The course as arranged led to the degree of Mining Engineer. The announcement was continued for ten successive years, and was then discontinued. At the regular session of the state legislature in 1913, an act was passed creating a State School of Mines and Metallurgy. to be located at El Paso. The terms of this act gave the Regents of the University full control of the new institution but not until six years later was the School of Mine formally made a branch of the parent institution. A condition upon the fulfillment of which El Paso secured the location of the School of Mines was that the city donate for the use of the institution the grounds and buildings of the former Military J nstitute, The securing of the funds necessary to make the donation is to be credited to the El Paso Chamber of Commerce. The institution was formally opened in September of 1914. Two years later, however, following the burning of the hin Building the School was moved to its present more suitable site on the west side of Mount Franklin, twentythree acres of ground having been donated for the purpose, and the state legislature having appropriated $100,000 for the erection of the new buildings. The location
of the School of Mines possesses several
marked ad vantages.
El Paso, with its population of nearly 100 000, is easily the largest and most important city between Denver and Mexico City, and between San ntonio and Los Angeles. The fact that no less than four transcontinental railroads intersect at this point makes the' city very accessible from all directions. A medium latitude, an ideal altitude, and a light annual rainfall are factors that contribute to make the climate of El Paso one of the most delightful in the world for either indoor or outdoor life. This is a matter worthy of more than slight consideration in student life and activities. A great variety of the geological formations associated with deposits of metal, coal, and oil is found in the vicinity of El Paso. In this regard, no other educational institution in the United States is equally as well located as the Texas School of Mines. Mining is one of the chief industries of the territory surrounding EI Paso. The opportunity thus afforded to students of mining to witness and to take part in practical mining operations is obvious. A similar opportunity of exceedingly great value to students of mining and metallurgy at this institution arises from the fact that the second largest custom smelter in the world is located within a mile of the School of Mines campus. This smelter is equipped to handle the many varieties of the ores of gold, silver, copper and lead found in the territory adjacent to EI Paso.

The Football Season, 1920 The season closed with a decided victory for the ~Iiners over the champions of the Army League. The beginning was a little difficult. Practice this year was started late. It was not until the 7th of October that the services of a coach were obtained, but we were very fortunate in ecuring a specialist like Van urdam. tarring with more than a month's handicap and with light and inexperienced men, the task that confronted \ an was enormous. The work given the men was of the simple t kind. Rudimentary maneuvers and lot of hard training wa the program. The purpo e "a to build a foundation for the team of '21, and with this purpose in view the more complicated work of fa t shift and trick plays was eliminated. traight football w a the watchword, and as a result some games were po sibly lost this year that the future might ee a doubly weighty reprisal. The schedule of games wa a hard one. "'ith only }I. ....Y.\" :I'RDAM a little over a week's practice, the :\Juckers met the Head Coach powerful Inivcrsity of Arizona team, and, although defeatcd accompli hcd more than any preccd ing team from this institution had done. Then followed, in rapid succcs ion, game with the l:niversity of ew Mexico at Albuquerque; with the 'ell :'IIe.ico ,\. and Xl. ollege at EI Paso; and with the 1 ew ;"Iexico )'lilitary In ritute at Roswell. During all this time the Xliner were showing constant irnprovcment under the able direction of \ an and Coffey. ach game showed vast change for the bet ter, and. had the season lasted another month, the scores in all following games would have been mueh different. On Thanksgiving Day the Orange and White met the Base Ho piral team in the stadium in El Paso. The Medicos were the champions of the Army League, having defeated everything hat wore khaki and played football. The game was fa t and furious, but th ;\liners proved too much for the Soldier. and. after a splendid exhibition of football on both sides. the score stood 28 to o. "an will be back with us next year, and with this year's team as a nucleus around which to build his fighting machine, nothing but a bright future can be predicted.
