The history of Lamar Junior College

The junior college movement in Texas has been one of rapid development. In the past fifteen years junior colleges have been built in practically every leading city in the state. These junior colleges have rendered valuable services to the four year colleges and universities, in that they have tended to keep down overcrowded conditions in many of them. Also, many students have been able to get two years of college work at home in preparation for degrees from institutions of higher learning. Too, many students are able to round out their secondary education and thus prepare themselves for a business, or possibly a professional career
