Again, I'm not trying to be a d!ck, just curious. And I'm sure I'll be buying this book.
You are correct, founded in 1911 and operations began in 1915. Oct. 16, 1912 was the day the cornerstone was laid for Dallas Hall.
If I recall it was a pleasant day. A little chilly with a slight wind but sunny skies. Is that how you remember it PK?
Exactly. Good memory there mrydel.  SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

This isn't a topic that I would have normally raised on a sports related message board, but why doesn't SMU have a medical school today? It just seems a little strange for a school trying to be top 50 to not have one. Just curious really.
My understanding is that although we don't have a med school, we have one hell of a good pre-med program. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards.

smupony94 does not give interviews. After Kate H. spurned him, he turned his back on the media.

Did someone hijack your account or are you simply being yourself?
