Southwest Texas State University
The school was founded in 1899, and opened it's doors in 1903 as Southwest Texas State Normal School in order to meet a need for teachers in the southwest part of the state. The school has changed it's name five times since then, in 1969, Southwest Texas State University was adopted, and in 2003 the name was changed to Texas State University - San Marcos.
The school is located in San Marcos, only an hour or so away from both San Antonio and Austin. San Marcos is the only habitat for the endangered San Marcos salamander.
The school has gone from a teachers' college to a multipurpose university. The school's sport teams are called the "Bobcats". Enrollment in Spring of 2004 was 24,980, compared to an opening enrollment in 1899 of 303. The campus covers approximately 429 acres, as well as 4200 additional acres in off-campus ranches and outdoor facilities.
Notable alumni of Texas State University include former president Lyndon Baines Johnson, country singer George Strait, director Thomas Carter, actor Powers Boothe, and actress Tracy Scoggins.
