These photos from our Mary Jane Sunkel Collection show the Weir Administration Building as it was being built. There is more to see in our featured exhibit on campus architecture. 

This summer we are celebrating sports at Schreiner with an exhibit we like to call “The Home Team”. Our student athletes show us the true meaning of teamwork and we honor their achievements by taking a look back through the archives. http://library.schreiner.edu/specialcollections/exhibits 

Student life at Schreiner College in 1978-79. It was a happening place.

Schreiner Institute once had a working dairy and agricultural program. These images and more are on display now through May as we celebrate the “Tales of Texas” at Logan Library. 

Howard Clifford “Bully” Gilstrap came to Schreiner from the University of Texas where he had been a champion athlete in football, basketball, and track. He was the first athletic director (1925-1937) and coached Schreiner’s football team in its first undefeated season in 1926.  See more photos of Coach Gilstrap from the SU archives in the Portal to Texas History. 

Is it baseball season yet? Here’s hoping the team is in as good a form as they were back in Coach Henry’s day. 

Take a look at our library lending rules from 1964, courtesy of former librarian Mrs. Margaret Pantermuehl. “Fiction may be borrowed for a two-weeks period, with no renewal allowed. Reference works, folios and atlases may not be borrowed, but vertical file materials may be borrowed for a one-week period on a call slip. Records may be let out for overnight use, only.”

Looking back Through the Years, the 1930′s were a bit wild at Schreiner. 

Check out our Through the Years display for more great photos from Kerrville’s past.

Seasons Greetings from Schreiner University Special Collections. Grinstead’s Graphic once provided the hill country with monthly news, stories and other local features such as this holiday shopping advertisment from The Charles Schreiner Company. 

Five Schreiner Institute Sponsors carry on the tradition begun in 1928. “Evidently the program was met with enthusiasm because the tradition continued until 1971." - Cathy Henry

Every archive has its mysteries and this photo simply titled A Woman on A Horse by a River is one such mystery from our Schreiner Institute Collection. The period is clearly early 20th century and the landscape is the Texas Hill Country near Kerrville but will we ever know this woman and her connection to Schreiner? Is identification necessary to appreciate the artistic and historical value of this photograph?
