The University Women’s Club, Texas
Tech University, with approximately 200
members from all segments of the University, began inauspiciously when a
small group of Tech faculty wives met to
plan a tea in the fall of 1930, when the
faculty had grown to 200 and there was
little opportunity for the wives to meet
one another outside their respective
departments. Each shared the feeling
that there was a need for a women’s
organization.
Mrs. John Granberry, Mrs. A.W. Evans,
Mrs. R.E. Garlin, Mrs. A.B. Cunningham,
and Mrs. R.C. Goodwin organized the
tea and sent invitations to the wives of
the faculty and administration of the
college. They seemed to have captured
the feeling of the other faculty wives, and
the Tech Faculty Women’s Club was
officially born at the tea when Mrs. A.W.
Evans was elected president and Mrs.
Fred Sparks was elected vice president.
During those early years, there were no
dues and no emphasis on programs.
The first meetings were kept informal
and held in the Parish House of the
Episcopal Church with refreshments
provided by the hostess.
Since its early years, the University
Women’s Club has grown considerably.
The membership now also includes
women faculty and administrators. Different programs and interest groups
meet the diverse needs of its members.
The club has both social and educational
objectives, as well as an overall focus
that unites its members. This focus is the
Paul Whitfield Horn Fellowship Endowment, which funds scholarships for
women graduate students. The University Women’s Club contributes to the
funding of this endowment through dues
and various fundraisers.

PAUL WHITFIELD HORN
FELLOWSHIP
E N D O W ME N T
Named in the honor of Texas
Tech University’s first President, in 1941 the endowment
was founded as a scholarship
fund by the Quarterly Club
and has since provided financial assistance to Texas Tech
University women graduate
students.
Recipients are selected primarily for their professional
aspirations, demonstrated
and potential academic ability, character, and financial
need. In 1963, the fund became a joint project of the
Quarterly Club and University
Women’s Club. In 2004, the
Quarterly Club disbanded
leaving the University
Women’s Club responsible
for the endowment
Funds are
raised from
membership
dues, poinsettias sales, and a silent auction. The endowment is administered by a committee of
UWC members appointed by
the President for overlapping
terms of three years.
