His desk was a treadle sewing machine. Of the students enrolled in Texas Tech, 60 were students in the School of Agriculture. Since the Agriculture school was incomplete, Professor Stangel made do on the first day of class and taught the students how to make a rope halter from lengths of rope the students themselves had to furnish. As soon as the Dairy Barn was ready, students were encouraged to bring their own dairy cattle to school.

Students had to apply and those approved could bring up to three milk cows. The students cared for the cattle as part of their education. The cattle were housed at the Dairy Barn along with the herd begun by Professor Stangel in March By the summer of , six students had organized a dairy operation. Students were responsible for feeding, milking, and cleaning up after the cattle herd. One student offered to bring his own herd of registered Jerseys for use as the college herd but his offer was not accepted Green The Student Dairy Association, organized in , and the Dairy Manufactures Department, organized in , sold milk and ice cream to the campus cafeteria and Home Economics food labs.

By , as the dairy grew, students also sold milk, butter, and cream to the residents of Lubbock, delivering the products by horse drawn wagon Andrews The students received payment for the dairy products they sold to Lubbock residents and those funds enabled them to attend Texas Tech. This resulted in the students who brought their own cows losing that privilege. The Dairy Manufactures Department continued Green A review of the papers of Professor W. As part of the Dairy Manufactures Department, extensive records were kept of all milk production.

Each milk cow was assigned a number and her production was recorded monthly. Production of different breeds of cattle was recorded for analysis.

Portions of the Dairy Barn were demolished to make room for the Foreign Language building. In , Tech administration announced plans to turn the Dairy Barn into a campus entertainment center Green Those plans never materialized. The proposed mall was never developed and the Dairy Barn and Silo were left to stand alone and deteriorate, surrounded by modern buildings that did not have a tale to tell.

As part of the drive to have the Dairy Barn added to the National Register of Historic Places, several former students who had studied or worked with the herd of dairy cattle had some thought provoking remarks. He would, in turn, make a hand at milking, processing, and even run the delivery wagon pulled by a little team of mules and have no fear of missing a house because Dan and Kate had the route down pat.

Architectural students have drawn and studied the design and structure of the Tech Dairy Barn and Silo probably as much as any building on campus. Even today in its abused and neglected condition one sees many a student with their drawing boards and sketch pad s sitting and drawing the historical old Barn and Silo. It speaks loudly of our beginning and past. As one looks at the Diary Barn today, one sees a building honored as a historical building but sadly neglected once again.

The leaders of the efforts to restore the Dairy Barn and designate it as a historic place have passed on. In the rush to keep up with the latest advancements, we have lost sight of our past. The Dairy Barn stands as a silent witness to the past of Texas Tech, a past that centers on the agricultural industry that made this part of the Southwest great.

The Dairy Barn should not fade away into that past. Someone, somewhere, somehow should take up the cause of the Dairy Barn again and breathe life back into a building that has been part of the Texas Tech campus since the beginning. At the time this paper was presented in April , the Dairy Barn was not in good shape.
