Flashback Friday: Garland Walker Day

by Heather Kushnerick, Special Collections Librarian & College Archivist

On August 26, 1977, the Mayor of Tampa, Florida, William F. Poe, declared the following day, August 27, to be Dr. Garland R. Walker Day, in recognition of Dean Walker's contributions to legal education. Houston College of Law has a large alumni presence in Florida. This proclamation is from the Garland R. Walker Papers, located in the Special Collections Department at Houston College of Law.

Throwback Thursday: Urban growth and renewal edition

by Heather Kushnerick, Special Collections Librarian & College Archivist

Like our entering class, it will have grown and flourished.  It is with change and renewal in mind that we start off the 2016-2017 academic year, and give you this photo, taken in 1976, from our student lounge of the corners of San Jacinto and Polk St.
